Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Does it have a laserrangefinder or how does it work?

You have a buddy in the drone. Your buddy marks the spot, you calculate using map and hope for the best.

I think it would be a fun thing, to give planes, helis and maybe spg ability to snap to the friendly drone mark. But it would be even more cancerous.

Is there any possibility that 12.7 BR maybe aircraft max equips 6 all-aspect infrared guidance & 6 BVR Air-to-Air Missile in rank 8 ?

You guess next major update gaijin might consider GPS guidance Air-to-Ground munitions for 4 countries (USA, Italy, China & Israel), another infrared guidance Air-to-Air Missile from PLAAF & PLANAF, EU & JASDF and 3rd gen targeting pod for F-16C Block 50 & MiG-29SMT (9-19) ?

I really want the ability for drones to make a CCRP target point that you can then target and lob bombs at them. 2 player artillery

Certainly, it inherited the same armor upgrade of the SEP:


M1A2 armor improvement

M1 improvement

And then straight from the horses mouth:
M1A2 Armor: ODIN - OE Data Integration Network
M1A2 SEP Armor: ODIN - OE Data Integration Network

As you can see the M1A2, AIM, and SEP all received incrementally improved hull and turret armor. While the turret armor is somewhat represented in game the hull armor has been held back due to Gaijin.

M829A3: https://www.fbcinc.com/source/Northrop_Resources/120mm_M829A3.pdf

Compared to the M829A2 the A3 will be a substantial leap in capability against both NERA/ERA and conventional composite armor. Improving over the A2 with a 1kg heavier penetrator and being 144mm longer.

no it would not, it would still be very hard to aim, specially moving targets, + other players with same vehicles will hunt u
It would work mainly against campers (which is a good thing)

God I hope the Independent nation is the swiss

Same.

I don’t think it will be those. and that’s a lot of join trees. and looking at this game I don’t think they will do joint trees. It looks like a tree and a sub-tree is as far as the Snail will go.

They had years to add a joint tree that makes sense to be first “The Commonwealth” but South Africa is a sub-tree, New Zealand doesn’t exist to them and Canada and Australia are in this backrooms-like situation.

I’m leaning a bit more toward the Yugoslavia idea as it’s a nation they can fill with soviet copy and paste. Despite the fact that said nation probably does not need it.

Tho I’m in the open a new nation won’t come until the spring update at the earliest.

Until you realize there is 3 years between service year 1999 and the alleged first front armor upgrades in 2002.

…until you realize TUSK is from 2006 and the SEP ingame has TUSK, therefore meaning the ingame SEP should already be upgraded to the 2002 standard.

Yeah, i partially feel like that. Some nations I just play the premiums.
Sounds like a lotta money but when I buy a 60 euro premium I end up playing it more than I would a standalone tripple A title 😅
This is how I justify most of my gaming budget to go to WT (and Enlisted).

For me Sweden could use some thickening out and should be more of a Scandinavian/Nordic or something joint tree with Norway and Denmark too.

I mean it’s clear now that Norway will be premium filler while Finland be TT filler.
But now I think the tech tree needs to be renamed to Scandinavia or Nordic Union.
That way even more thing can be added as it’s now a union of nations rather than one prime nation.

Yugoslavia theoretically could be entirely made up of unique and modified vehicles without any copy and paste while still being fairly fleshed out, especially at the lower to mid tiers.

Yes, however why should we get a yugoslav tree, it serves for nothing but to bulk out the game with more ‘interesting modification’ of soviet vehicles. End of the day not many people will end up playing it and generally the addition seems like a waste of development time for gaijin.

TUSK is an external package, it can even be added to IPM1.
So that does not indicate the year of the base tank.

It should be added because it would add a plethora of unique and modified vehicles from both sides, not just Soviet.

By 2006, all M1A2 SEPs had been upgraded to the 2002 SEP standard.

If it has 2006 TUSK, then it means the tank is depicted as it was on its 2006 and onwards configuration; therefore, it must be the 2002 standard all SEPs were upgraded to in 2002.
