This has nothing to do with it at all.

The vehicle was first produced long before this occurred. Vehicles remain in service through many changes of government and politics. That has nothing to do with the game.

Please keep political events off the forum.

As part of the roadmap they pretty much halved the RP requirement of all foldered vehicles. That’s probably a better deal for us than any research bonus would have been.

Same could be said for many US SPAAs, yet we haven’t got any since the Chaparral a year ago (update “Sons of Attila”)

As always, we are working on gaps to fill gaps in all nations. Many vehicles to resolve existing gaps are in the plans, along with other vehicles people want to see.

Stay tuned to the news for what will come in the update. Its far to early to confirm the contents of the update from what we have already showed.

Well that’s good to hear. I have my fingers crossed for this update

so does su24 get kh38 or any new weaponry?

Same tbh
I didn’t ask for a Gripen. I just wanted a Hawk.

even if an 18 came this fast, why would we go straight to the C??

it would most likely be the A Variants, which did not carry 120’s while still carrying a large number of ground ordinance options.

C’s would come in an update or two.

Not to impressed with the leaks. The T1E1 variant is neat but the high level stuff is just not that interesting to me. Just wanna see more weird tanks lol. The Finnish KV will be fun but it’s a shame it’s a premium. Hopefully some more interesting tank stuff is revealed between now and release.

because the C was leaked and is the only one switzerland has so there is no chance they could have mixed the versions

That, and we specifically have the late chassis for the Type 81 (C). Having one limited to only lightwave missiles (even if ahistorical for both) should at least be the earlier chassis.

Late chassis, same as in game

Besides that, even if they don’t plan to add the ARH missile, capabilities can still be improved for the lightwave missile by:

  • Adding launch without lock and missile self search, this way the missile can be used past seeker range by firing it at the target and having the missile acquire it once in range and FOV. For this it might be necessary to allow for a lead indicator. A side effect of this would also be defense against ground vehicles.
  • Correcting the range. The missile is the same as the ARH missile, only differing in seeker. Both should have 14km(+) kinematic range, as that is the stated effective range of the ARH missile. This would of course not be possible if the missile was limited to 10km.
  • Adding imaging mechanics. The missile currently suffers from photocontrast mechanics and interference, which is a lot more than an CCD optical imaging seeker (as used on the lightwave missile) should. Instead it should lock on to the silhouette, and only lose it once it can no longer be distinguished from the surroundings, which on a low noise CCD camera is very difficult.

Tbh any hope for any good mid-tier non copy paste vehicles has gone out the window at this point

The thing is, the A/B Hornets would have been way more appropriate before ARHs were introduced, but as with many things, Gaijin just skipped over them to rush further towards the end of the line

Really depends on the BR for the KV, 4.7 means it has no real lineup on sweden russia definitely. Again that depends on if it gets added at 4.7 and not potentially 5.0 since it is still better than the Zis 5 turret armor wise.
