The first VBCI is alot better than the VBCI-2 tbf. The first one is basically just a better VBC (PT2) at a lower br (the VBC had no reason to be increased to 9.7 anyway lol)
I can say with confidence we wont get another vbc platform for france unless its a premium or an event vehicle just like the ebr’s. 1 in the tech tree and all others event vehicles. Last time i also said gaijin would put the jaguar at 11.7 just to grief france of a lineup. And low and behold. They tried to 🤦♂️
Honestly I hope the Jaguar stays at 11.0 for as long as possible, since the KF-41 is 11.0 (ofc the KF-41 sucks but hopefully gaijins stat card for the Jaguar looks similar to the KF so it doesnt increase)
I mean, it evens out right? One has armor and a crewless turret and aps and the other is as tall as a house
KF-41 actually has a crewed turret (APS is easily the worst in the game). The Jaguar will imo be def way better than the KF becuz of the superior gun as well as the superior missiles
I wouldnt rely on the missiles at all, we all know how janky gaijin implements them. I can allready see it in front of me: hit - hit - critical hit - target destroyed.
Also didnt know that about the kf41 thought it was crewless. But still i think it will perform pretty evenly to any other ifv in game at that BR. The mobillity is nice but thats the only thing it has going for it. The increased angled pen is a nice bonus though
The dart will be the main killing power, however on larger maps the spikes will be very useful
Sure, but it will play like any other light tank in the game, side shots and flanking. Its not like it has a defining feature that will make it better than anything else is what i mean. The cv9040s get a 40mm aswell but a smaller readyrack.
Idk, we will need to see. Im still happy we finally got the vehicle
bruh, when did this go up in br ? that’s so stupid
Just like the CTA turret, the KF41 can operate both a crewed variant and a crewels variant. Nexter presented the crewels variant of the jaguar turret in the last eurosatory. I don’t think any countries has currently expressed interest in any of those crewels turret designs tho…
Went up a good few months ago, idk why, was a very random change
Another report for the range of the Akeron since developers didn’t properly fix it the first time
Akeron MP should have a range of atleast 5km // Gaijin.net // Issues
In it would be more like 175 mm pen
It kinda makes no sense that this more advanced 40 mm oflt round has less pen than the slpprj m/01
Indeed, and somehow they wanted it at 11.7 whilst that tank is 10.3 (but without misilles) so 11.0 is a good fit for it now. If they do buff its apfsds then yes, i would be more willing to accept it at 11.3-11.7 although again, with no lineup
heres hoping more documents are found about its penetration
except from the EC-665 tiger mk-3
Tbh that has historically not mattered much to gaijin. They choose wich reports they accept and wich ones not at their own leisure and choosing. No matter how comprehensive and detailed.
The tiger Mk3 won’t be firing the same MMP (Akeron MP) as the tripod variant. Uts going to be firing a bigger, longer range variant, the Akeron LP, with about 3km more range for the same conditions visibly
Last range report for Akeron got shut down by someone who couldn’t figure out what horizontal range is, but luckily this time around it got accepted.
Akeron MP should have a range of over 5km in horizontal distance // Gaijin.net // Issues
The MMP missile is overperforming though in terms of speed by nearly 20%, and thus has to be fixed in this regard.
MMP missile overperforming in speed by about 18% // Gaijin.net // Issues
