hahahha look at the vertical traverse speed.
You know, the feature they marked as an advantage in their video?

They made this change together with TAM but didnt mention it also affecting R400 in the changelog for some reason…

My last bug report with data comparisons of other Henschel/Daimler-Benz vehicles from the same period which also use OM-Series engines. Explicitly stated figures line up with this engine that was manufactured right around the same period, with the same power range; Even as far to show how power/torque is modeled the SAME exact way on the Radkampfwagen 90.

It should be modeled correctly. If this doesn’t go through I’m officially done.

Its Gajin. They advertise its fast turret traverse as signature feature and 3 days later it gets nerfed :) :)

(Without notes apparently)

Turret ring armor isn’t modeled on the R400s turret. Posting it here.

Yeah this vehicle is officially dead lmao.

this thing is still 9.7? lmao

Couldnt you also say that theres is no proof of any engine at all? Who is there to proof that it wasnt a turbocharget 1000hp prototype put in for some tests?

Isnt that the same issue for almost everythink ingame? Who is there to proof anything? No one has that vehicle in their garage to show and even if, no one could validate that someone hasnt been tinkering with it.

The restored original prototype is in NL, restorer himself the engine is an OM-442LA back in 2003 but gaijin can’t accept that as a source.

Edit: If you really want the history, the British Class 1 which also has a singular prototype parker somewhere, (British TH-400, small chassis differences and smaller powerpack) used a weaker Daimler-Benz engine. But the Thyssen-Henschel one in Germany? By 1987, and the singular prototype was built after that year Daimler-Benz had released the OM-442LA and begun producing it specifically for 6x6 and 8x8 trucks and buses that needed up to 30T weights pulled.

now imagine if it was russian))))))))))
jokes aside, this thing should not be any higher than 9.7 anymore

New butchered vehicle for christmas!!! yay!!

Also they’re giving one to Britian only.

Its an event vehicle? Make sense its just for one nation.

how come? looks like a pretty good spike slinger to me

If it gets Spikes I might actually grind it out, as it might sell well.

yeah it gets 4 total
also an APS but its a crappy one

Soft-kill aps?

hard

have anyone go above 60km with r400 in a game??? i mean i am in the samespeed as same mbts

Damn, looks like an usable light for GB locked behind an event. Definitely grinding it out.

It works on paved roads, downhill or at least flat roads.

Aside from that you won’t beat the 50-60 km/h bracket. You’re hardly faster than tanks of this BR brackets. Which makes this vehicle a bit pointless. I just spaded it and:

Its a collectors vehicles, rather than something you should really use ingame.
