Yeah I guess it’s because it doesn’t have proximity fuze and the « ACLOS » implementation doesn’t allow for direct hits, as the missile usually still lags behind quite a bit.
Probably. Still annoying they don’t even get the radar screen even if no ACLOS though.

Ah yes, T-series are getting more compact. They are going to be a pain to play…

I have a question on this part, would gunpods count as air to air weapons or strike weapons? As some are really there for air to air assistance (strikemaster, SK60/saab 105… phantoms…) while others are more so for ground pound (A7E with its 30mm gau-13s).
Will they all be classified as an air to air load out unless an AP belt is selected?
Worth bugging a dev to ask to clarify? Might be an important thing overlooked.
Honestly half of the issues with SAM, if not more, comes from poor netcode/annoying bugs. The Spyder and to a lesser extent (but still very present) all new SAM have big issues with their radars, meaning that missiles often go absolutely nowhere. ACLOS guidance is in shambles, even with the separate mechanics for the Panstir and Tor, IR missiles don’t lock nearly as far as they should…
If all of that were fixed, it would make using these vehicles much more compelling. And more SAMs would mean less people would actually spawn CAS, and even less actually landing their bombs
Looking forward to the Stingray and the mystery vehicle, but I am not looking forward to another M60A3 TTS. Couldn’t have done an M48A5PI or M60A3 TIFCS, which is at least slightly different?

Could we imagine seeing the Mirage 2000N for the Nuke carrier for France ? It’s just a 2000D-RMV ! But… it’s iconic to France !

Can the autoloader be used to manually load the rounds?

“Aircraft that sting” can Gaijin please stop hyping up mediocre aircrafts? This is probably in regards to Super Hornet, but let me hear some hype about J-10C or Gripen E. The F-15EX would be worth the hype as well, a slower Hornet with an AESA radar isn’t worth hyping up about.

Overall great changes, looking forward to it.
Though as spotting with drones will likely have a dramatic impact, as well as the increased capabilities of 4++ and 5th Gen Aircraft, I do hope that Gaijin at least considers an option of ARB EC/GRB EC, bigger Maps, and/or lower player counts in matches for the future.
As for drones, maybe consider just having the tanks spottet only visible on the minimap, and no visible markers overheads. I fear this could lead to whole teams being spotted, giving us a near GAB experience.
Though I’ll keep it real, I mainly crave for the EC modes to be reintroduced for RB. Maybe even with no markers. I still fondly remember the WW2 RB EC from years back, which likely was the most fun I had in War Thunder. I’ve been hoping to see those reintroduced for years.
In any way, thank you for the update, I’ll make sure to thoroughly test and enjoy the new content and features once they’re implemented.

How do you know it won’t be an F-16D Barak counterpart at 13.3?

Not very accurate. Very inaccurate for guns
They probably meant “an aircraft that stinks”
