i think its more than brit mains do better with vehicles than Americans do. We consistently have worse vehicles at the same or higher BRs than American counterparts. having another one pointing this out just makes the “America mains are bad” trope look more true
M22 to harry hopkins,
AV8B plus to harrier FA2,
ADATS,
m3a3 bradley to desert warrior,
XM800T to scimitar,
I also did a report on J60 engines (in the CVR vehicles) having very different sounds despite being the same engine. i doubt it will change things any time soon, will probably just be a note next time they overhaul engine sounds
My point is that the merlin doesn’t sound the same in every tank due to varying transmissions, different exhaust systems, etc. If you paid attention you’d also notice that the caernarvon and conqueror use a vastly different version called the M120.
Why remove the variance from these?
the 3.7 Rams buff is using a document which has the wrong figures on. we also had a major vehicle for the 7.7 lineup gimped on pure guesswork so overall I wouldn’t call this a good one. incorrect information just isn’t a good thing
Not only is it a British vehicle, but also an SPAA, and it even has 4 other contesting it’s spot in the lineup. It’s far from the top of the priority list ;)
As far as I know there is nothing of any significance, at least as far as the game is concerned. In the Phantom FGR.2 manual they make no distinction between the operation of the ARI 18228/3 and ARI 18228/5, besides a passing mention that some aircraft have one and some the other. And the ARI 18228/3 section of the Phantom FG.1 manual is identical to the ARI 18228/1 & /5 section of the FGR.2 manual.
The / number on early ARI 18228 sets likely just denotes hardware improvements. As far as I know the /10 is where things get interesting with threat ID and that sort of stuff.
The ARI 18228 in game is representative of all the early versions, pre /10
