IMO, adding the earliest versions of F-18 should’ve needed to be faster than adding F-14B.
What a shame.
Anyway,
@MatrixRupture, @quartas121.
According to the ‘Russian Tanks’ term, It seems OP was trying to discuss about GRB.
Then maybe a further discussion about F-18 might be derailing. I am quite a bit worried bout it.
dunno why he tagged this as ‘general’
Tbf it’s not super easy to find detailed sources on F-22 RCS. I’d expect for -ESA radars to detect it within 30km and M-scan within 20
I don’t think thats even remotely realistic but I don’t have any sources to back it up. Cause y’know obvious reasons
Well what about GBU-53, JSOW, and CBU-105. That would eradicate all of our woes on the ground
Just covers all the bases.
The hesitation and foreboding is rife in the game so I’d say it’s general. xD
Well yeah, that’s my estimate for what it’ll be in-game lol
I agree with this to some extent, I believe that you are right and that is the problem. However I don’t believe the solution is hand holding. I believe that they should try to remodel the abram’s turret ring. This will lower the skill gap between the best players who know how to defect shots and move there turrets to block and the players (like me) who are stuck on lower sensitivity because they are on console. I don’t need to worry about deflecting UFP or turret shots in a Lepoard as much as I do in a abrams.
It boils down to either they are in a super easy to play tank like the xm800t, T95E1 (sometimes) and the T-34 or they are in tanks that take a lot of practice like the abram’s M26 and HSTVL. The Abram’s and HSTV-L have crazy curve in skill needed to do well.
M26 lowkey just over-BRed
Older M26 and T25 (29? 26?) would go into my easy to play catagory but rn they are hot garbage unless your just better.
Fair enough, they should really have stayed 6.3
The Abrams fires the best MBT round in the game on among the most mobile chassis of heavy turret armor.
Strv 122 has the same gun with worse ammo.
T-90M has worse ammo and mobility.
2A7V has marginally worse round better gun, similar turret armor slightly worse mobility.
M829A3 isn’t needed, Abrams is already firing the best MBT round in War Thunder. Saying M829A3 is needed is just admitting skill issue.
F22 could come next major update, and do effectively nothing to the meta outside not being as easily seen by radars. Same weapons we already have in-game.
Either way @quartas121 USA is already meta at top air as well.
I guess, but I’d still like to see the 22 and more F-15’s.
22 is fast though. Really, really fast
It’ll bring back the climbing meta
The Leo carry’s a higher penning round and the USSR has a round that can pen nearly 700mm of armor.
Please no more rushing.
We already missed plenty of gems in the Cold War era, when they decided to add F-4 in this game.
3BM60 pens similar to L27; and DM43 fired out of an L/52 cannon. It’s 666mm of armor penned at 60 degrees, not 700.
Abrams fires the best round in the game penning ~10mm more than DM53 out of the same length of cannon.
@Stockholm_Blend
There is no rushing in this case. F-22 and F-35 both use 9Ms and 80km AIM-120s, they add stealth.
Granted, I don’t really expect them until later this year, but they are the next BR step IMO.
Huh? F-35 went into service well into 9X and AIM-120C-7/AIM-120D service life. Prove to me it can use 9M and 120A, especially with the 120’s in internal bay
That round is on a tank destroyer “artificially nerfed” with the medium tank classification.
DM53 only gets more pen if the guns are different lengths, check Leopard 2A5.
@quartas121
No one mentioned AIM-120A, and F-35 also went into service with 9Ms.
“80km AIM-120?” again, I have no reason to believe the F-35 ever used 9M
