NGL I am looking forward to more pattons…

Of course the missile itself is hardly the issue but rather the launch angle.

And y’know, it wouldn’t be an issue if the missile actually leveled out with my sight with a sense of urgency, instead it decides to take its sweet time unless I force it to dive down, in which it will likely miss my target because I can’t judge how much to pull down when I can’t even see it in my sight.

That looks really good

Honestly Type 60 ATM shines in long range maps.
I mostly used defensive strategy, but some times getting 2-4 kills but quick enough it is being intercepted by mad cas revengers.

Anyone know when the UH-1B is going to get its other set of rocket pods that was listed in the BR change file?

As an Arcade main, I don’t get such luxury as easy long range kills lol

But on the flip side, I have scored a few missile kills on CAS, aided in part by the easier ATGM guidance on controller.

Depends on the Patton. If it’s something Thailand actually used and is interesting, then sure. But if it’s low-effort slop, then no

Admittedly small color photo I found of what I believe to be the T-53-engined Sherman, popularized in the WT community by Mai Waffentrager.

If it’s something Thailand used, the Thailand subtree should get it full stop. Otherwise why does the US have 3 (technically 4, but one is a jumbo) different 76 Shermans? Would you call those slop? And why does Japan have so many functionally identical tanks? (Most of the ST-A, ICV/RCV, ST-B and early Type 74)

Honestly, if the Thai T-84bm oplot comes in the next update, I think it will be an interesting addition to the Japanese tech tree with the opposite characteristics to the Type 10. In fact, I’m sure some people are looking forward to its addition!!

That’s fair enough, I do want the more unique modifications they had, rather than whatever Pattons are already in the game and just need a new skin.

Which is also all Thai Pattons, assuming we get add-on armor as modifications.

The M48A5 isn’t in game, so it would be new by itself

M60A1 can get Blazer ERA modification so you can have it both with and without the armor, but you don’t need to add a copy of the unarmored one in the US tree.

M60A3 TTS can have log “WERA” armor modification and be unique, but like the M60A1 can still be used without it to show the Thai tanks without add on armor.

M60A3 TIFCS is a unique Thai modification of the tank, so it’s already unique

As i have brought up before, even the copy-paste Pattons like M60A1 is better than the US version because of FCS upgrade allowing the use of laser range finder same with the M48A5 but this one is not yet in the game.

New magazine from PANZER talks about Modernization Upgrades of the Type 10/Type 90 Tanks.

Interesting. I am happy that more Japanese vehicles in seperate trees/nations appear in games.

Sad that it is for console game only and… you know… it is WoT with all problems with this game

Still hope JSDF will apear in Squad. It has like everything what is needed to be added there

Okay see id say that is a good opinion but knowing how gaijin works what that means is any unique vehicles will be ignored and will only add copy and paste which i feel diminishes the value of making the subtree unique
