IA 58A Pucará — Argentina’s Fortress

not a lot of variation really, at least in argentine variants

Parade and anniversary schemes

Argentine service schemes are the current one with yellowish brown, green and sky colored underside, you can see some with a darker brown and gray instead of light blue.

Harrier food at a low enough br to be spitfire food.

Glad to see it finally come to the game after years of being in the files

In addition to the trailer skin, it will come with the 25th anniversary skin, the 40th anniversary skin, and the standard gray skin.

Here are some profiles of the countries to which the Pucara was offered and how they would have looked.

Are those ‘what-if schemes’ from a Pucara book or a book dedicated to ‘what if’ schemes?

On the latest version of Dev Pucara got huge FM buff, so now it have ~570 km/h at sea level instead of ~450 km/h
This is just a bug, isnt it?

Nop

At WEP mode (1035 hp): The aircraft reaches its absolute maximum speed of 570 km/h at sea level. This value can only be sustained within the 5 minute limit specified for this engine thermal rating.
At maximum continuous power rating (946 hp): In sustained flight with no time limit, the maximum speed in clean configuration stabilizes in the range of 498 to 500 km/h.

Note: These figures represent minimum guaranteed values. Generally, new or newly overhauled engines deliver higher performance outputs.

In addition, you have the boosters

Gives Germany a much needed CAS option.

Which is super exciting and I can’t wait to play it.

Holy shit… This is so fucking badass.
But If I use it in the sim, it’ll ruin the whole vibe, so I’m thinking of going with gray camo and slapping an Iron Cross decal on it.

That’s what I plan to do as well. Grey camo + Luftwaffe decals

Yeah. But if we keep having conversations like this, the Luftwaffe roundel could end up getting blocked! 🥺

I mean, you’re still gonna use it on the axis side in sim battles, it’s not like it’s gonna cause friendly fire

Welkins got hands ngl. unless its a spitfire or a zero it will rate fight basically everything

“WWII German SPG#69420”

I don’t know man, a copy-paste M44/55 doesn’t sounds like “WW2 German SPG” to me.

germany does have a lot of generic ww2 SPGs and the hummel does add to that tbf, they all act basically the same and arent fun for anyone in the lobby unless youre shooting it in your CAS plane.

I do wish the ww2 BRs would stop being ruined by SPG spam and would start looking like low tier WT again

Youre not wrong. Esspecially most maps don’t really support casematte TD or SPG.

New top tier tank would be more useful. Rus get another T90, Two new Abrams. Hypersonic Ramjet missiles etc etc.

Others get real stuff. Germany a low tier TD without turret.
Then two unique premium planes, premium c&p ship, Premium c&p IFV.

Not ideal. Would be glorious to get nice TT additions as well.

Having Wyvern for a last century, then arguing about adding 2nd turboprop to Indian TT.

Speak for yourself, I love large calibre German TDs and can’t wait to play the Hummel!
