The handling between the CR1 and CR2 shouldn’t the CR2 be better or the same not worse

Is that simple deduction I hear, begone. This is gaijin bitch.

Given I didn’t fall asleep during TEC’s video, I was awake to hear him make a good point:

Where the hell is the Swift F.1 and F.7
The Venom, the Sea Hawk? What about the French 8.0-9.0 jets? They all got glossed over, and some of those need to be moved down in tandem with the current changes if they are carried out.

The games a total s*** show for many reasons. nothing should surprise anyone anymore.

War Thunder is just a cash cow for the devs.

Venom still being 8.7 is funny. Something as fast as a prop is having to face jets like the 2T? I tried flying it but all it was is everyone running away from you and you end up dying to some random from space who wasn’t spotted.

Is that the bubblegum gaijin think the turret is made of? 🤣

Don’t give Gaijin any ideas, they might nerf the Challenger because of these photos.

Looks a bit undersized based on the top measurement.
Edit: my bad, misread the value as 530. I guess that means the model is pretty accurate dimension wise, (maybe very slightly undersized still).

The person who posted the image above claimed the L94 sits with a 150mm offset from mantlet rear (unsure without a decent picture of turret interior), and protrudes 100mm from mantlet front (which can be seen). This would give a LOS thickness of ~700mm which matches this photo here which claims to be measured from mantlet rear through the L94 hole:

Some Rough Copium math. Probably wrong

Only math i see is here is the likelihood of gaijin implementing this mantlet model = 0%
