CM Covert Disclosures No.3: Updates from Smin

Yea, I don’t mind the notion of such detonations; the issue is that, as of now, shell rooms detonate the very second they are hit by anything, which significantly decreases ship survivability, specially American BBs.

The Israelis had upgraded the radars they used to allow for compatibility with their HMD, and presumably added TWS. To an extent, it is accurate.
I might need to ask around for some links, but there should be sources on this if you wish to see them.

I hope it isn’t a decrease of the number, can’t find a bug report abot it.
Should be increase it seems)

VBM FRECCIA AIFV/ATGM

Btw waiting for spall liners addition for hitfist turret users (including Freccia).

Also still looking forward to see devs get interested in making Italian F-16ADF more realistic with its loadout options.

Historical accuracy for vehicle and weapon specifications has always been a mainstay of WT, though. While not on the same level of DCS as far as intricacies and functionality are concerned, accuracy is still one of the primary appeals of WT.

Not that Gaijin hasn’t made mistakes with specs before, but they’re usually fairly decent at correcting them.

As for balance, that’s why we have the BR system (which desperately needs an overhaul along with the uptier system, IMO).

That’d be fantastic. 🫡

These should provide insight. Although the bug report was wrongly denied, it seemingly got fixed after being re-evaluated.

Is there a plan for the AGM-114R? For US helis?

Has any of the J10 HUD complaints been reached by devs? its missing target locked symbol unless you get a lock with an IR missile. Its really infuriating to play with in SIM.

If that were the case then how come the British tree is as bad as it is especially with the Tornado ?

If this where Historical accuracy then most of the bugs would be fixed by now and way more 1 to 1 for historical accuracy armour models ect.

As others said war thunder markets themselves as a action game, if you want 1 to 1 for historical accuracy then DCS maybe the boat for you.

And yet gaijin still adds vehicles with certains rounds or features added for balance. Again id rather balance be a bigger goal if the nation has no other options as again this is a game.

a BR system overhaul would be nice tbh, the X.0 X.3 X.7 system is too limiting for the higher tiers in all modes, naval included.
(looking at japan with their SEVEN 7.0 battleships.)

I mean seriously at that point just increase the BR cap and blacklist all but the earliest jets. Bam, problem solved.

The skink were never used by the USA and the project got rejected from them, at this point remove all the tree and make a new one named “world” since slowly everyone has the vehicles of other countries

Just tried again, still wont save

Are we allowed a rough figure for the rank or BR? Whether it’s WW2 or post-war?
I’d personally love to see the Geschützwagen Tiger in game, I believe it was passed to the devs a while back.

Gaijin: Nope.

You’re able to inform if the vehicle is in fact German or it will be featured in German tech tree as some other operator country that has any relationship with Germany?

It’s great to see the Ram II make its way over to the British tree, I’m personally a big enjoyer of Commonwealth tanks (I adore the Sentinel and AC IV) so being able to use them together will be nice. Also looking forward to seeing the Ram in the British tree’s camouflage colours too.

It would be nice if owners of the Ram would be allowed to choose which version they owned with this addition - I would definitely pick the British option if I could - but I understand that’s likely not practical. I would also love to see the later Ram II with the Mk. V 6-pounder and removed hull MG turret for a nice and strong-all-over UFP, but that and seeing the Ram I with the 2-pounder I suppose would also be limited by needing new models made that take time and money, and probably wouldn’t be popular enough sales to warrant.

More Commonwealth stuff in-game is great in any form though - I hope distantly perhaps for a New Zealand Walker Bulldog in the British tree one day too =)

Can we stop splitting Canada and just doing something with it?

This is just peak laziness. There’s at least a dozen indigenous US SPAA designs that were prototyped and could fit in that BR range. The US had nothing to do with the Skink, why should they get it? Just add the domestic US SPAA that players have been suggesting to you for years.

Players are only praising this change because it’s a band-aid fix to a bad situation which in your own words will be remedied later anyway with domestic vehicles. So what’s the point?

Just let people know you hear them. Let them know things like the T36, T52, T77, T85, etc are coming. They’ll get more excited because 1) they might not have heard of the vehicles before & 2) that their issue is being addressed.


It’s about time for the Ram II. Still incredibly disappointing the US gets to keep it. It should have been added to the British tree from the start. You should remove it just like how the British tree lost the Strv 81 when the Swedish were added and how the British tree lost the Sho’t Kal Dalet when the Israel tree was added. Though I guess the US version is representative of the one they tested, and if that’s the case I fully expect it to be rebranded as a US vehicle.

Another question about the Ram II, are you going to make me buy it again? I only bought it because it’s a Commonwealth vehicle and have no actual interest in grinding the US tree. With it being in the British tree I’d rather have mine transferred there.

Also, what about the M22 Locust and T18E2 Boarhound? Those were built at British request, with British money, to British specifications, shipped to the British, and actually used by British forces. Will they also be copied over to the British tree?

How about some work on the Heli PvE mode??? It’s been forever since it’s been updated. That mode got worse with the Heli change. I really think that mode needs an overhaul.
