They wrote about ALQ-213, not 213A

Spoiler

Same thing. Difference in names/designations is down to different hardware arrangements depending on how the customer wants the control unit and peripherals installed in a particular airframe. Functionally they’re all the same capability

ALQ-213_DAC

European F-16s for example, have this setup

Can you send link?

.pdf specifically mentions that there is a US (ITAR restricted) and Danish (non-ITAR) version
Can see footage of a Danish F-16A MLU with the EWMU installed in the cockpit here:

Also a document about installing it on F-16C, A-10 etc. to replace the old EW controller

Unless I am misreading it looks like the AS-90 RoF has been corrected/buffed? Good news there.

Vickers GBT 155 however yet to be touched.

in what way was the as90s rof buffed

they look to still be untouched in that way…

They should be getting the same reload rates.

should

if the GBT doesnt it really needs to be lower than AS90

When I looked at the AS 90 prior it was based on crew skill though now at least for the initial rack is working on an autoloading rate of fire? (EG it would show 5.4 seconds based on crew with 5 seconds aced, now its just showing a flat 5 seconds for me)

oh yeah my bad yes they did change that on the AS90 its just 5 second no matter what now for the ready rack atleast

ooof looks like they’ve modelled the entire indirect fire control computer as FCS on the AS90

man how did they cook so good on the as90 but cook so bad on the premium

Yeah is very weird, usually other way around lmao.

Updated Blenheim Mk.IV model from the dev server.

Spoiler



Has a later war appearance compared to the previous one, with exhaust flame suppressors, and Mediterranean-theatre camo rather than the previous day-bomber scheme

Also removed the incorrect porthole window from the starboard side. Something that was a feature of Bolingbrokes, not Blenheims

Hopefully we get other variants like a Mk.IVF or Mk.Is in future if the base model is being worked on like this.
But might just be they wanted to add some Blenheims for Finland, and the existing model looked bad

Is the AS90 supposed to be autoloaded? I was under the impression only the first 2 shots should be

Sort of. It’s assisted-loading.
Loader puts the shell on the cradle and it’s mechanically inserted into the breech, then the bag charge is manually inserted behind it.

Yes.
The Autoloader tag in game only applies to the ready rack.
The ready rack remains at 2 rounds, just means the first stage reload will be 5 seconds regardless of crew skill.

Would it be unreasonable to assume that in real life the Vickers GBT would share the same turret traverse speed as the Vickers Mk.3, or is the turret traverse tied to the new turret?

more than likely tied to the turret, as the motors are in/attached the turret themselves

Deal for RCH155 as AS90 (and Archer) replacement has been finalised, with UK-manufactured guns:
