Other countries still havent received their new rank 8 tanks (just current ones moved up). Give france their embt, israel the turkish altay and japan the k2!!

It’s 0.4 BR higher than the Tornado in GRB, but yeah I agree that I could see it moving to 12.0 when it gets it’s countermeassure count fixed. F-111C just feels like an 11.3 plane in GRB currently that is artificially put at 11.7.
But to return to the original point, the Harriwrs have 500 kph faster top speed and nearly triple the climbrate when compared to the A-10C, meaning they can at least somewhat use their LGB/JDAM at range.
The ideal A-10C loadout will likely be 42x APKWS and 6x AGM-65D. Seeing how slow the A-10C is I don’t doubt that 11km launche range and 5km guaranteed range for the apkws. Either way you’ll be killed by SPAA before your rockets hit.

wait I just realised, gaijin give us the F111C because there was a lot of demand for it and the US already had their own variant getting added, the hope for the CF-18 is still real lol

I can see the EMBT happen, although I feel like the Leclerc XLR is more likely, but I doubt we’ll see the other 2 anytime soon in those trees.
Hell, knowing Gaijin they might just give france the leopard with the leclerc turret lol (was it also called embt?)

I love how:
-Germany’s new Rank VIII: Leopard 2A7V, an uparmored Leopard with 3rd gen thermals and more spall liners. Makes sense.
-Russia’s new Rank VIII: T-90M, an uparmored T-90 with spall liners and 3rd gen thermals. Makes sense.
-Italy: Leopard 2A7HU, an uparmored Leopard with 3rd gen thermals and more spall liners. Makes sense.
-Sweden: has had Rank VIII material MBTs since 2020 and still got yet another one.

-America’s “new” Rank VIII: M1A2 SEPv2, which is literally M1A2 SEP, which is literally M1A2, which came in 2019. Except slower because you can’ take off the ERA.
-U.K’s “new” Rank VIII: Challenger 3 (TD), which is Challenger 2, but without turret spall liners and L/55 with slower reload.
-The rest of the nations’ “new” Rank VIIIs: literal Rank VIIs that have been moved up to VIII on the interface.
I can’t understand how Gaijin is SO AFRAID of implementing things like M1A2 SEPv3 or Leclerc XLR, or giving M1A2 SEPv2 some meaningful armor and/or M829A3, Merkava Mk.4 some sort of protection at all, or FIXING Type 10’s broken steering and missing acceleration, or Leclerc and Challenger 2’s armor, giving Challenger 3 (TD) its historical DM63 so not all mantlet shots are an ammo detonation kill, etc… while they nonchalantly implement stuff like several 122s or the 2A7s.
For the most part, “Rank VIII” feels merely like a stunt to be able to release Top Tier Premiums under the guise that “since they are Rank VII instead of VIII, that means they are no Top Tier anymore”.

if it makes you feel better, gaijin made our top tank worse then the ones it was meant to replace.

but AV-8B+ is 12.0 in GRB, kinda unbalancing
after some rethink, maybe it’s not so useless, it’s 11km range, so you can enter the range, fire and turn around to get out of most spaa’s range, except pantsir
though it’s fast, but no faster than any top spaa, so still not safe staying at any spaa’s range.
Thats the vt4a1 am i right?
Never thought about that but yeah that one works as well lol, I mean the challenger 3TD, after all of its nerfs its not worth taking over the blacknight and E

Gaijin: Here’s a challenger that has dm53 and you WILL be happy with it!
huh is the harrier Gr7 also 12.0 in ground?
yes
(we are also gonna make it heavier, remove its increased horse power, remove the spall liner, fuck the model and to top it off remove its reload rate)

weird I would assumed the AV8B would have been higher having AMRAAMs and all
Saddest part is, Challenger 3 (TD) could actually be extraordinary if only it had its historical DM63 shell.
At least not every mantlet shot would lead to ammo detonation death, which would drastically increase its survivability and finally make it stand out at SOMETHING.
But no. Challenger 2 with L/55, take it or leave it.
tbh I would have preferred just the Challenger 2 with the L/55 at least it would have kept the spall liner lol
AV-8B (NA) is probably going to move up. Harrier Gr7 was 11.7 with 9Ls before decompress…
Swiss F-5E for Germany this update:
- YES
- NO

yes
I mean, the GR7 and B+, is like a SU-25sm3 but just slower missiles, but better in other parts, and B+ even can use AMRAAMs to kick other plane’s ass hardly, now there are a 13.3 AV-8B just without radar and AMRAAMs, is it too strange?
