"Heavy Cavalry" Update Trailer!

I honestly forgotten they nerfed the A’s mobility so yeah, my bad on that really. Still, I would bring the VK only because of its ability to go around the map fast (even after the weight nerf) and the slow turret traverse, to me anyway, is a mild inconvenience but mostly a non-issue since you’d be in position way ahead of most things by then. I’d still take the M41 for repositioning ofc but the VK is not the worst option.

I had such high hopes for the SPz when it came in the BP. I really thought it would complement the lineup well. Instead I found it incredibly underwhelming and now it’s 7.0 too lol. Shame

They nerf G, F too and Jagdpanther´s aswell. Tiger´s 2 and Jagdtiger suffered from movility nerfs too thats why im doing special emphasis in why Gaijin should give priority to movile fast vehicles over for examplein this case low rank SPG.
But agree Hummel is a cool adition and im happy for that people are going enjoy this tank despite his zero impact for improve the actual situation in German TT.

See? Turns out WT players can have civilised conversations and not just throwing insults at each other. I’m glad we agreed on some things at least, even if its not everything.

F-101C and M-346?

Almost unarmored and slow casematte SPG is not very useful. TBH.

While we get this we have not a single fast mover to support speed nerfed Panthers and Tigers. At top tier not a single MBT with APS, which is especially difficult to grasp, since air to gound missiles dominate and there’s no defense.

is this like an old leak for this update or smth?
no j22 orao either
and m60a1 rise (p) is an american prem not japan

Is this confirmed as a premium??

I think part of the BR gap problem can and should be resolved by taking lineups into consideration for BR changes.

The Kugelblitz is a good example. It was 7.0 until a few updates ago. Germany does not have a 7.0 lineup for ground and an SPAA with moderate anti tank capability isn’t the sort of thing players build a lineup around. It was hardly played at all as a result.

It moved to 6.7, where it isn’t overperforming. Now the vehicle has a place in a lineup and it’s played a lot more. I have it in my 6.7 Germany lineup now.

This was an easy change that made a vehicle worth playing and didn’t break the game. I’d like to see more lineup rationalisation changes where they don’t break balance.

Quite the opposite has happened recently to another vehicle i was enjoying. I was using the Re.2005(VDM) in my 6.0 Italy lineup to fight enemy CAS. It was moved up to 6.3 because of its performance in air RB (whether that was necessary is another discussion well worth having) and got dragged up in ground RB, despite seperate air and ground BRs being supported AND not having the change listed in the planned BR change spreadsheet.
Italy does not have a single 6.3 ground vehicle. Now a BP premium which was not anything special in ground RB is useless because it has no lineup (you can take it with the 6.7 anachronistic rat lineup I guess). Why???

Looks like you didn’t see the nerf :)
It was made 7 tons heavier in a recent update, it’s not that much more mobile than the Panther D now and the worse armor makes it more of a sidegrade to it rather than fulfilling the role of a light.

One question. Left any iconic German tank dont eat a movility nerf recently ???

The original weight was ridiculously low, but yes that nerf really hemmed it back into a medium tank role. It was a beast before. I literally used it as an anti-M18 flanker in my 5.7/6.0 lineups because it was crazy fast. It’s still amazing at 5.0, and competitive at 5.3, but it’s much less BR-agnostic these days.

No, we will see on the dev stream

There are 3 F-111 variants that are still not in game

I mean the one on the Tiger Sla 16 was ahistorical and should be reverted but that might take a loooong time unfortunately

i wonder what the general warthunder lore is. i mean someone said that its basically collectors doing mock matches or something and the modules you unlock is literally you fixing up your vehicles.

I would honestly go for something closer to RvB. The tanks are sentient and slowly begin to realise they live in a nonsensical world and are fighting pointless battles/attempt to self determine outside of the simulation, something like that. I really like the idea of the vehicles themselves being the characters
