Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

So the strikemaster coming in opens the gates for the likes of the A37 Super Tweet, the Fouga Magister, L39, MB326, and the T33 Shooting Star.

The latter in particular could really help fill out early cold war aircraft for a bunch of nations (literally all of them except USSR) the same way the M109 helps with ground. It would be the air Sherman.

L-39C which is the version Russia bought from us (Czechoslovakia) was a pure training jet at had pretty nothing in armaments. Like max what it had was 2x 7,6mm guns. Thats it.

Well, it had 2 pilons, but max carry weight of them was only 125 kg.

Hey guys whats your thoughts on Black Hawk, Object 775, french and italian top tier helis and on Mi-8 new model found in game (people say its AMTSh yet i dont think so)

It’s literally called AMTSh in the files afaik

Hm, just doesnt look like one to me, apologies.

Realistic are ya crazy? And if it is really realistic, in this game, it is just stupid.

This armor of new Object is just OP. Really 900mm at turret.

This update is small, not much about vehicles.

If your concern is the nose, there were multiple Mi-8 variants upgraded to AMTSh standard, we just got the old one.

One thing that should be done is reducing their visibility as they make it hard for both firing and receiving end to see whats going on.

Oh, thank you, I didnt know that. This game is sometimes weird with not mentioning production model or if production model is new or not.

A Panther for the tree is not planned. There is already one as a premium.

Might still happen. The Finnish 2A6 also got the older sideskirts and different smoke dischargers on live server

Well, we have already had advanced trainers in the game including stuff like Sk.60.

I think he is referring to Italian long barrel variant M109L, equipped with Oto Melara cannon.

Version visible in the dev server asset viewer appears to be the what was originally called Mi-8AMTS. In its post-1996 configuration, before the steerable electro-optical turret was added on later generations of AMTSh: An Mi-8AMT with the Raduga system from the Mi-24V giving it the ability to use 9M114 missiles.

Mi-8AMTS 1997


Mi-8

Designation was changed slightly to Mi-8AMTSh later on. Text saying Mi-8AMTSh and the export designation Mi-171AMTSh are just about visible in these later photos

Mi-8AMTSh/Mi-171AMTSh



In 1996 the Mi-8AMTS had the Raduga system in a single unit in the nose kind of similar to Mi-28’s layout. But it was changed to the external podded system more like Mi-24V we see in the later images

Mi-8AMTS 1996

Probably so that the helicopter could retain the option for the 7.62mm PKT machine gun installation in the nose while carrying Shturm.

Instead of asking for meaningful tanks you ask for captured ones :|
