@Stona_WT

…here’s one more thing lurking at the bottom…

Lets go…

@Stona_WT

we are considering increasing the BR of all helicopters that will have this feature

will it be atleast 1.0 br higher than the highest ground vehicle br? cause its the only place where heli with mitl is ballanced

[ScimitarsCurse]

@Stona_WT

The last place they should be is near any peaks.

You would think that, yet the americans have managed to crash a sub into a mountain.

@ScimitarsCurse

not more 35mm KDA vehicles please stop with the SPAA tank hunting hell

They were designed for tank hunting in mind, they just need to go to an appropriate BR (aka 10.7). At least in my opinion.

[ChieftainWarrior]

@Stona_WT

we’ll be running a tank vehicle event for a Chinese mid-tier tank,

Quite a few interesting options. Hope we get a light tank, like the 132, Type 62 (late), or 131-1!

Cluster Bombs

1. Will there be a CCRP/CCIP indicator of the spread of the bomblets?

2. Will crew stats affect spread etc?

@Stona_WT

it activates a search mode and locks onto the target autonomously.

So can we see LOAL now for other air to ground munitions like SLAM-ER and Stormbreaker for example?

@Stona_WT

We should note, these bombs won’t be available in standard Ground Battles. But it will be a weapon unique to Air Battles, primarily for Nuclear Escalation.

So now that weapons can be restricted to certain modes could we see stuff like MmW guidance or researchable nukes added limited to NE?

[KhorneFlakez1337]

If it’s anything like the ones they tested back in April, there won’t be bomblets lol

In b4 all the gepard and XM246 players rip you apart for saying they need to move to 10.7. I will remember you brother o7

[Der_Zerkquetscher]

Abyss, absolute abyss! (in a positive way!)

IT IS ON BOYS N GIRLS!
subsubsubsubsub

Also: There are massive underwater mountains, mountainranges and rises ;-)
The biggest “mountain” on earth is not mt everest ;-) (Depending on how you measure it)

[KhorneFlakez1337]

I will rip them apart for causing there to be a huge SPAA gap

[MJPIA]

Hopefully much like cluster munitions being locked to NE subs will be locked to EC matches

[Balta779517-live]

@Stona_WT

one tank destroyer that you may be familiar with

yes

[joshje100]

Can we get this expanded to cover the forums too? It’s a pain when you’re away for a week and end up being considered inactive on the last day.

Good point!

Well, not limited to NE hopefully, but afaik now is the first time game mode specific armament is implemented, yes?

[Der_Zerkquetscher]

Oh. My. Snail.

I cant wait. How long have i been waiting for this. Even just having the sub events permanantly would already have been amazing. To have them actually implemented in the game is just…

Im not crying, you are!

GCS-1: Coming to Japan in the next major update will be the GCS-1. This is a self-guided bomb that can lock onto large targets emitting heat within the IR range (for example, ships), which cross into the view of their homing head. This is an entirely new type of guidance that isn’t quite the same as anything else in game bomb wise: it is released like a free-fall bomb, but in flight, it activates a search mode and locks onto the target autonomously. So a unique one for sure! You can look forward to this one on Japanese platforms that carried it soon.

Looking forward to mode 3 Brimstones soon then

@Stona_WT

WE177A: For Nuclear Escalation, a brand new nuclear bomb will be joining the game. The British WE177A is a standard free-fall nuclear bomb that can be carried by Tornado GR.1 in game. This was the last Nuclear Bomb used by the RAF, with the Tornado being the last aircraft to carry it. You can put this new nuke to the test in Nuclear Escalation!

So is the default aircraft being changed to a GR1 from the current ASSTA1 or is it coming as a loadout option to the TT GR1?

@Stona_WT

Cluster Bombs: That’s right! An entirely new type of weapon will be coming to the game. It’s too soon to go into the details fully just yet, as we have more to reveal on this later. However this new type of bomb will be perfect for Nuclear Escalation and taking out columns or groups of armoured vehicles. These are specialist anti-tank bombs generally designed to cover an area rather than a specific point or target. We should note, these bombs won’t be available in standard Ground Battles. But it will be a weapon unique to Air Battles, primarily for Nuclear Escalation. Stay tuned to the news for more ahead!

Sweet, that is one way to balance

Hoping we see this method of balance used for every other weapon denied because of “GRB Balance” such as ARMs on various aircraft and more advanced A2G weapons like proper Brimstones/Spear

@Stona_WT

Yes! Finally about time

[ScimitarsCurse]

A very small price to pay for salvation.

seriously the 35mm KDA spaas need something serious done to stop them being nuke printers against tanks. I personally want every AP and APDS shell removed so they are forced to be SPAA only.

@Stona_WT

Battle Pass will be beginning on October 21st, and with it are two German Second World War premium vehicles! There will be one tank destroyer

Let me guess, of course for Germany ANOTHER completely useless slow WW2 TD because add fast light tanks he TT so desperately need since years is not allowed cuz bias reasons.
