CM Covert Disclosures No.3: Updates from Smin

I mean it’s a double edged sword. Yes the market is in an interesting state right now, but you also care a lot for things you won’t even ever own. Iirc you don’t own the vehicles in game, you just pay to use them.

When the servers eventually get shut down (whenever that may be) or if you ever end up getting banned you’ll lose all vehicles forever anyway.

While you are not wrong, it is a rather negative approach to existence and doingness. We should all take a step back and focus on the now rather than the then. Because when you only think about and believe in the future, you May lose your focus and drive on the present. For the future to exist the actions must be taken in the present. Sure WT may shut down one day or I lose access, but right now, I am here and playing. So we should be allowed to make the best of every Moment.

And Gaijin does not allow it.

You are leaving these Al-Khalid’s advantages vs Leopard 2A4 and M1, apart from turret armor (and hull armor too in Leopard 2A4’s case):

-Better thermals (3nd gen vs 1st gen)
-More thermals (includes CITV)
-Better shell (577mm pen vs 410 and 372 respectively)

And, if Gaijin even bothers to fix MBT-2000/Al-Khalid, they would receive spall liners, as well (VT-4, ZTZ-99A and WZ too).

@Smin1080p_WT is there any rework of the JA37C and JA37D planed? there are numorus reports, which proof that the JA37D was mainly made to carry rb99 and also there have been reports showing that the JA37C was able to carry BOL POD. the rework would make the existence ingame of the JA39D sensfull because the JA37C was reported to carry the RB74. so it seems pretty strong as Gaijin used them to get more top tier planes for sweden but has no intention of giving them the loadouts besides other gen4 jets carrying fox3, looking at you germany, which does seem like a shame

And the massive LFP where you just blow up and nothing can be done, or the non existing turret armor where you have massive weakspots around breech. I would take 2A4 any day over Al Khalid.

You can do exactly the same as the Al-khalid to the Leopard 2A4/M1 Abrams. None of their armor will do much against DTC10.

You are telling Gaijin their business model is working perfectly. There are people willing to waste hundreds of dollars to gamble for pixels.

If you were opposed to this model you could have shown that by not buying any crates until more favorable options were offered…

A 2.0 meme one at that; not even like he was pursuing IS-7, E-100 or something…

I mean, not to judge- I just can’t wrap my head around how someone could be willing to spend 800 GJCs (he mentioned it was GJCs, not real bucks, but still) on getting some 2.0 meme thing. To each their own, I guess.

I want to know why it’s been years since Gaijin acknowledged there’s a bug just deleting earned RP through their research module dealio but hasn’t fixed it. Like it’s been years since it was reported. So we are talking about billions of RP at this point lost and yet Gaijin doesn’t seem to care.

its a question of gameplay, id rather have a more manouverable and higher fire rate over penetration.

secondary weapons selection

can’t wait to see more stuff for the F-111C. GL on your research Smin!

Has it been addressed yet because as far as I’m concerned the range and performance of these two missiles is almost identical in-game currently unless the PL-8B will feature a considerably improved IRCCM than the PL-5EII?

@Smin1080p_WT While we all are waiting for new update- can anybody from this forum please remind DEVs to reopen four planes in Soviet research tree? I am speaking about SB 2M-103U, SB 2M-103 MV-3, Yer-2 (M-105) TAT-BT, Yer-2 (M-105R) TAT-BT. They were “hidden” in the research tree during 1.37 update to “minimize grinding”. Now we have stacks/ subfolders for vehicles and jets- so some “sandbox” bombers will not bring extra-grinding. I think there is a bit more people than just me, who wants to get them into personal collection…

Most likely due to improved tracking and G capabilities preventing them adding PL-8B.

infrared stabilized tracking.

Infrered Search Track

Fun fact because it’s the best part about the PL-8 in game:

In game we have the PL-8A, named as the PL-8 with the PL-8B’s visual model!

You literally look on the side of the missile and it says PL-8B lmao.

They even gave the PL-8 a brand new model, not even a copy py3
