I actually think the Gepard 1A2 is the closest counterpart to the Stormer AD, because the LAV-AD just plays like a wheeled light tank with stingers.
The Gepard 1A2 in this comparison would probably have slightly better long range cannon performance and slightly better self defense with the 40 APDS rounds while the Stormer AD has thermals and more stingers.
From a pure anti air perspective the LAV-AD should be 9.7 as well imo, however taking it’s light tank performance into consideration I can see why it is 10.0.
I don’t think it would be the end of the world if the Stormer AD got 10.0 as well, but I feel like it should at least be considered and/or tested at 9.7
APHE changes will be tested on dev and then tested on live server.
does the Su-27SM have more missiles now?
Holy shit, I wouldn’t have expected them to actually do a test after those vote results
Can someone take a screenshot to see the location and data card of the test server IJN Amagi in the technology tree? :D
8 R77s and 4 R73s
Not on the dev server yet
okay…XD
Oh, Mogador is a nice surprise. Even though it’s not the 1942 version so its AA is pretty bad…
This Australian rabbit hole keeps getting deeper.
So If it’s a purely American variant Australia uses it goes to the US tree, But if it’s a American vehicle made to an Australian variant it goes to the UK, have I gotten that right ?
Yep

Hehe, people are pissed about the APHE test happening.
It’s almost like having over 40% of players vote for the test means that there definitely is demand for such changes
ahem Australian Super Hornet with ASRAAMs ahem
@Stona_WT With the first Brazilian vehicle in War Thunder, will there be some kind of event with decals or camouflages on September 7th, which commemorates Brazil’s Independence Day? Including the classic 50% discount for the vehicle? Thx.
Hey! @Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT apologies to ping (again) but it’s still a burning question for me and pretty much every other naval player of the affected nations.
What happened to the naval models for top tier ships in the Bluewater tree for the UK, Italy and France. I am aware France just got a coastal tree but even so.
There are plenty of realistic, capable and fair options, both historically and from a balance point of view.
But for some reason Japan is going to have 6 top tier ships when you can only spawn 3. Germany remains with the most broken ship in the game which the stats agree with plus 2 others, Russia will have 4 top tier ships including 2 which were purely laid down (not that I disagree with it but France and Italy have ships that were laid down).
France could get Dunkerque and Strasbourg as well as a Normandie class ship, Italy could get at least one Francesco Caracciolo, the UK could get a QE or an R class or even a KGV 1911. And yet, nothing.
But your modelling teams have the time to model more ships than nations can even use at that BR?
And then the first QE we get is a damn event. Who signed off on that, I don’t think that was a good idea? (Not throwing insults but it must have occurred to someone that the UK has 1 top tier ship and now 2 events).
Don’t want to throw accusations but you could forgive me for seeing maybe a little bit of bias here? Particularly as you guys plan far in advance?
while I love Amagi I dont think japan should be getting a 2nd 16inch armed ship when there are still multiple nations with no 15 inch armed ships
Precisely my point. Why is the focus on trees who are not currently struggling.
