Oh shoot I noticed that but it completely went over my head, I knew it wasn’t there before!
What happened to the turret traverse speed and gun elevation speed that were discussed in the old forum?
The Leopard 2 used as an example has not been modified.

Cause it takes time researching an item.
In the mean time, F-16AJ & EJ Kai are best anti-CAS even if Type 81 comes.
Problem with planes as Anti-CAS though is the SP cost, you can’t first spawn planes to take down Heli rushers and you can’t second or third spawn planes when your lifes before that weren’t great.
Moreover is that you need to actually have top-tier plane. And its quite hard for anyone, who mainly plays Ground (cause you earn way less RP, that in Air Battle). So while other TT can simply play their favourite GRB to protect themselves against plains - JP Ground mains need to switch to ARB and play them for quite huge amount of time

I was sadly forced to do that. I don’t like flying in WT, simply because it’s to Arcady but I had to because without the AJ there is no way in top tier to take down CAS.
Me getting top air in Japan in less than 6 weeks as my first ever completed tech tree.
Got ground in less than 6 weeks as well.
2-3ish hours a day of play.
Best 2019 experience I had.
Learned most of my efficiency knowledge from that experience.
Wouldn’t get great in air until 2022 tho.
By the by, SPAA in WT can’t take out smart CAS players currently. They’re quite literally untouchable by all SPAA in WT.
Idk, without premiums or Boosters it sounds too fantastic.
“smart CAS players”. Yes they exist, but lets be honest, how many smart CAS players do you encounter? Most of the time MiG27 just space climb making them an easy target, most of the Su25K and now Su39 players are also brain-dead. Same goes with other nation and premium planes
That might be true, but at least other nations can deal with average CAS, unlike Italy or Japan right now.

It was a premium account.
I’ve dropped that down to less than 4 or 5 weeks on 3 hours a day, but my first attempt was rather efficient.
Japan’s tech tree treated me well, and it houses many of my favorite vehicles.
Sadly, I cannot be upset at no SPAA because my only SPAA is a Tunguska and boy was that shafted.
So I doubled down on tanks and aircraft.
Especially since I very much do come across smart CAS players, Maxi.
@MAUSWAFFE
No objections.
I mean, they could always just fix MANPADS if they wanted.
But that would mean they’d have to stop protecting the precious Ka-50 whales from IR missiles.

Manpads were all once 10Gs.
Research takes time, and Stingers will get buffed to ~20gs when the research & implementation is finished from the sole historical report that was only reported this year.
It’s not the Gs, it’s the range at which you can actually lock. Recently I had to get within 1km of a Huey on Cargo Port. (I’ll try to dig the replay)

That does leave the question why research takes so long compared to equivalents in other nations that have been added over 4 years ago.
Of course planes will always perform better as anti-CAS than SPAA, but they are also way more expensove to spawn. Even then the Type 81 C could provide a rather cheap yet still sufficient way of dealing with CAS, both with IR and ARH missiles, the latter with a range of 14km, more than enough for current engagements.
Because the domestic option Japan has does not have an integrated search radar, and the backup controls for the system aren’t obvious. Since using Type 81 on its own is us using its backup systems.
Worry not, we not gonna get anything
Anybody knows at what br is thy new type 10 on the devserver?
