Eh, 2 weeks is a nice guess but the MK.IV so far doesn’t have a big enough following to warrant gaijin looking at it anytime soon. PzH 2000, Rafale, EFT, M44 were on multiple nations and much more popular. It only makes sense that gaijin may get around to fixing the MK.IV in the next few years as its far from being close to priorty. Gaijin needs to essentially redo the entire damage model since they didn’t even try with the current MK.IV and to assume that the change would come soon is more cope than anything. Look at the times ive pinged Smin and he ignores it, probably because he has no clue if the devs are working on it as its likely again that the MK.IV was never on their list of things to fix. In my opinion its more likely we will see a premium MK.III or a MK.IV added and that will be correct and maybe they might fix the current MK.IV or they’ll ignore it and hope we just buy the premium model.
If I were to think optimistically, perhaps it’s just that gaijin’s work schedule for the Christmas version was too tight, so they decided to reduce their workload. Therefore, we can understand that the fix for cv90mk4 has just been postponed; But probably they don’t care. Currently, the status of CV90 in the game is very poor, as they are assigned high BR and poor performance
They will surely make changes during spring to the vehicle. There would never be any changes during christmas times anyway so i do believe we will see changes in a few months
Did they ever fix the 9035’s i dont believe they did so its a pretty good chance to assume the MK.IV would be treated the same.
No, 9035’s are still in the same state.
I am just holding out on someone over at gaijin having some common sense, even the bradleys 25 APDS can pen the 9030 Mk.IV right now, not to mention 30MM APFSDS. (At 500M+)
I’m living on hopium and lots of it i must admit.
I mean, f***. there is a reason the CV90 family is lauded as one of, if not THE best IFV in the world for the last 2+ decades.
Also, if you guys have not noticed yet. the spall liner does not cover the area into the fighting compartment from the engine compartment. that is still just a 10CM RHA plate which creates more spalling into the fighting comp…
And that is a problem on all liner equipped CV90’s.
Urghh. time to take another does of that hopium.
@Smin1080p_WT can we expect any changes to be added this week or is it gonna be another week of this vehicle being completely outclassed and irrelevant. If the devs have no interest in fixing it, it would be best to reduce this thing BR. Again with no word from you and nothing being changed about it from the devs i feel its safe to say this vehicle was a late addition especially since no devs or you can explain the weight of the vehicle being 37t for some reason or why the damage model makes no sense and why the armor is somehow worse than its predecessor’s despite BAE stating it can withstand 30mm apfsds from 500mm yet it struggles to withstand 20mm apds from a distance.
Its currently the Christmas / NY holidays for many on the team. So the number of updates and changes over the next week will naturally slow down a little bit.
There are currently 2 open reports on this vehicle:
Armor on the CV90 MKIV is incorrect: Community Bug Reporting System
CV90 Mk.IV - Missing ABM: Community Bug Reporting System
Other than this, there are no other forwarded reports currently to be resolved on the vehicle.
Once there is sufficient data, BR changes for any vehicles will be considered in the next BR update.
So why do the devs continue to close the weight bug reports despite BAE saying its 35t and it has room for an additional 3t. Again it seems the devs have a bias against the report considering they dont explain their idea and why BAE is not a trusted source on this matter.
If the vehicle weighs 37t adding a full crew to it would throw it over its gross weight limit.
Additionally why was 10.7 chosen as its BR when its missing very important features that other 10.7 spike launchers have. Again it just screams last minute addition since the devs didn’t have something ready. No anti air or AA munitions make you inferior to all ifvs since you cant deal with their UAV’s but they can deal with yours, especially if a helicopter comes in to the picture you have to use a spike to kill it which with no survivability thanks to not having a remote turret spikes are even more important. Again this vehicle just doesn’t make sense.
Unfortunately the reports so far have been based on assumptions. BAE themselves say 35-38. The game uses combat weight, not empty weight. Reports with clear information are welcome to clarify the weight and conditions in how that was measured. Nothing has been said about BAE not being a “trusted source”.
The weight stated by BAE is Gross weight, as in maximum allowed total weight it is allowed to be with max load, not it base weight without crew/ammo. That is where most people have an issue with the weight in the game being over 35t
Considering the devs always deny any BAE sources, like for the UTAS system on the CV90’s, I’m gonna have to call cap on that.
Clearly we don’t know what were talking about, thats why they close the weight reports without actually listening to us.
The reports for the UTAS being denied as nothing to do with it coming from BAE. We simply do not have this type of sight in game, as its the same type featured on most modern MBTs (basic target track). This is also not exclusive to the CV 90 Mk IV. But all CVs with the UTAS.
Would it not make more sense to add this so that they can share in the anti air systems other IFV’s have at the same BR’s?
The operating weight is listed in multiple BAE sources as 38,000. 37 is used in game for the combat weight.
It would not be the same sight as the others have (optical) as it does not work the same. Its a much more basic target track. Which we do not have in game currently.
Then can we expect future CV90’s to be added in the same poor state as the recent versions? So far the track record with the devs and the CV90’s is quite poor. Again id be fine with the vehicle if it made sense. The vehicle is at the same BR as other better IFV’s while missing nearly all its functions. To me this vehicle screams copy paste the 9035NL armor and give it spikes and call it a day. If gaijin can argue so much that the weight can be 38t it makes no sense to me why the armor was left in such a poor state. Unless the devs don’t believe its that strong.
Even the turret armor screams rushed job. The armor only acts that theres no overlaping plates and thst the exterior is empty
Well obviously the devs think the armor was a clear marketing lie.
Once again, there are currently 2 open reports remaining for this vehicle. Being overly negative about a situation for simply the sake of is sadly not going to get more responses. Practically every post you have tagged me with has taken this approach.
Well why are reports on the CV9035’s still unchanged after months. Of them being accepted. I think its fair to have a negative response given the track record.
I am sorry about my tone but this problem has been left unfixed for months and nothing has been changed about it.
