British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

In fairness to Gaijin with the RP-3 is that the info about the HESH and HEAT warheads are non-existant.

Though that would be really fun gameplay option, to be able to smoke or mark targets using different rocket types

Agreed

On a similar note i want the soviet chaff rockets.

Yeah those would be interesting. I wish they would add more weapons that wouldnt necessarily be of much direct use except in niche situations.

Like they wont add more ASMs because they arent usable in GRB. Its just a dumb argument.

Sim, whats that?

Bruh they added in the ASM-1 and 2 to the F-2 this update. Hopefully this means more stuff are coming next update

they only added those because the F-2 has basically no options for CAS outside of ASMs and JDAMs

I doubt we will see more ASMs anytime soon unless gaijin decides to be nice and stop holding back armaments and equipment from aircraft (seemingly) arbitrarily and using “Balance” as an excuse for why

Show me how to use the ASM against a Pantsir

We have another significant mobility buff for the Brits passed to the devs (thanks to L2ulan)

A huge buff for the Vickers Mk.11

350 hp → 508hp
15 hp/ton → 25.5 hp/ton

This would make the Vickers insanely fast, for context, the comparable Rooikats have a hp/ton below 20. This would bring it close to the Radkampfwagen in terms of power to weight.

We can cope this gets implemeted soon

Oooh, Very nice

I really need to finish that line at some point :D

Would be a very nice 9.7 light tank if they also give it DM33

The MiG-23 at the moment has an issue with its radar rn where it doesn’t get picked up by RWR during manoeuvres.

@Gunjob could you forward this for me please.

As we cannot take off from carriers anymore in sim. Can we get aim 9L on one of the british phantoms to differentiate it from the other one?

New datamines have dropped and it appears mid/high tier Britain is getting a tech tree rework.

The South African line is being murdered, and replaced with lines specific to vehicle types.

Britain will now have:

  • Domestic MBT line
  • Export/Foreign MBT line
  • IFV/TD Line
  • SPAA Line
  • Light tank line

This makes the tech trees more streamlined in terms of vehicle type, but removes the unique subtree line.

Gzazbi claims the devblog tommorow will cover a “British ground tree rework”, however its not confirmed and I’m not sure how extensive it will be

These changes will take place AFTER the major update, so you’ll have time to grind out what you need

Hopefully some more Vickers MBTs then :D

Hopefully! It also gives a dedicated line to add light tanks to

lays the works for the Vickers Mk.4, 7/2 and the Arjuns

also hopefully Vickers Mk.3i 3M and the rest

Yeeeeaahhhhh Booooyyyyyy !!

I would have liked to see the Challenger 2E be brought into the Vickers Mk.7 line, but maybe they will change that later

we could get the Greek Trials version of the 2E for the export line, rather than the one we have currently
