British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

So I have been using the M109 and G6 recently and saw Dollarplays video and have had the same issue with the HE-VT round he had, even to the point it wont knock out T92 tanks.

Timestamped to 4:55 where he shows it in the test room.

Seems to only effect the G6 rounds from my tests as with the M109, it doesnt matter if you use HE or HE-VT, both rounds will knock out the target penning the same. The only vehicle I have seen the issue with is the G6 Rhino, where the HE-VT simply doesnt kill armoured vehicles and you still have to swap to the conventional HE rounds to take tanks out.

Just curious if anyone else noticed it/knows why this is the case? A bug perhaps that needs reporting?

Bug report it having too few supports on the extra armour. :D

It is reported as a bug

Ah didnt see the more recent couple, only those from years ago which I dont think ever got worked on.

Also laughed at 1 of those from 3 weeks ago where it got denied as an issue because “proxy round” so not a bug for… some reason? xD

I could do that, but they’re supposedly only mild steel so I doubt they’d really do anything lol

Do you mean the additional “shield” under the mantlet? That also isn’t on the conqueror in War Thunder

In terms of the actual mantlet, its modelled terrible in War Thunder so i wouldn’t be surpised

No, it just feels off, but that might be just me.

I believe its because the fabric covering the mantlet is a bit different in that photo compared to in War Thunder, it makes the mantlet look larger

do we know if the jag gr.1a can detect the launch of that new chinese spaa considering they threw it at like 11.3(?) with a pretty good range compared to the 2s6’s and osa’s im used to

ARI18223 definitely can’t detect the launch. I tried it in the IS yesterday and it can’t even detect the Osa’s launch or Tor’s. I think the GR.1A should get 18228 and the IS get TARANG (same one on the Bison)

Did we finally get a proper 12.3 in Sim EC with the BR expansion to 14?

No, we never get new brackets until a BR change. We had a 1.3 sized bracket at top tier for about 3 months last year in a similar situation.

So hopefully Jan/Feb we’ll get a 12.3 bracket

I couldn’t find a specific bug report for the Stormer missing Martlet missiles, only forum suggestions, thought I’d make one

The whole reason why i made a suggestion is because it was not applicable to the bug report

I’ve seen people bug report missing weaponry before, it should be fine. If its not then thats fine, it didnt take too long

I hate this game.

Any yall able to help me out with evidence that the G6 has a roof top MG? A quick google comes up with a few of what looks like a UAE variant from the IDEX 2013 military exhibition, with some sort of .50 cal, and a couple of blurry images of one with that looks to be a 7.62 on the roof but I don’t know whether this in enough for gaijin to do something about it.

The state of the G6 is pretty dire at the moment as it lacks any way to remove small barriers such as fences and bushes that could trigger the fuse on the round. And due to its wheeled base you have to take 30 seconds (the reverse is just awful) to relocate yourself to shoot at an enemy anything more than 45 degrees off front dead center. Not to mention the time it takes to get up to a decent speed due to the way gaijins implemented traction for wheeled vehicles. Imo its worse than the 6.0 paladins and should probably be at around that br too.

It is already passed to developers.

Am I mistaken, or does Starstreak now require a direct hit again?
