you’ll see the Jumbo Sherman with the short cannon a lot too
Meta CAS are good Maverick or KH27T jets. These Fire and Forget stand off weapons are mandatory for good CAS at high tier. Unfortnately the F-4F and the Su-22 are both restricted to just two of these. So its just two kills, if you’re lucky, which is not worth the 800-900 spawn point expense. My last deployment of Mavericks was a like 3 days ago with the Hunter at 9.7. Its also two Mavericks, here I just got 1 kill…one Japanese tank was taken out, but the second one hit a T-72 Turret without gettin a kill. So 1 kill for 800 spawn points…meh.
Laser guided bombs are unfortnately impossible to use since Pantsir and contrail introduction.
While US have alot jets which are able to carry 6 Mavericks + 2 walleyes on top. Means up to 8 kills are possible for the expense of the same 800-900 spawn points. And you often see Phantoms, F-16, F-8, F-5’s doing good air sorties, while you never see a Tornado with its 4 GBU’s getting some kills…the need to fly over the battlefield and to laserlock a target over several minutes upon impact made it impossible to survive SAMs and enemy SARH missiles. The whole laser guided bomb mechanic is not viable anymore.
At a lower BR it looks better. Like the Mig-23BN at 9.7 with it six CCIPed 500kg bombs. The BR is mostly free of super dangerous air systems. This Mig gives you good kills consistently. Just yesterday I had a sortie with 4 ground kills. But I guess its high tier, we’re talking about. And before the Eurofighter Typhoon with Brimstones arrives (Maverick type anti tank weapons), it won’t improve.
Unless they nerf Pantsirs or contrails…then maybe the Tornado might come into play again.

Of corse they love to do it.
Laser guided bombs are still viable but you have to toss them and guide from a distance, don’t fly over the battlefield especially with a pantsir (it’s “balanced”)
Yeah, you never see this for a reason. Too much fiddling around with ‘elite’ mechanics, like tossing a free fall bomb over 12km and hold the lock over 3 minutes or something. You need F&F weapons…like lock shot, lock shot, lock shot etc. in quick succession from 12+ km, then just turning away into safety while waiting until the multkills come in. Especially on open maps you sometimes see luducrous F-16 kill streaks. Its a day and night difference to Tornado and this bomb tossing.

The SPz 12-3 LGS, the battle pass main prize is bugged
and what is wrong?
So anybody say me : what generation of thermal imager for a gunner on PSO-VT?
please fix your english first and stop assuming that you guys are a united force. you arent a group who outskills the german mains and you are basically jumping on the bandwagon to try to gain attention and attempt to be part of something bigger than yourself because your own life has no meaning.

It occasionally can’t shot anymore. Usually then your main gun got sprayed with MG bullets.
LOL! Pantsir is tied with TOR-M1, can’t hit anything. I still haven’t died to one in random battles and I use Tornado which only real difference with F-16s is it can’t turn as fast, but that’s what 50% wing sweep is for.
@MuricaxSuffers
There’s nothing to nerf with Pantsirs, they already can’t hit targets.

The Leopard 2 PSO is an amazing tank at 11.7 it’s another tank in the German lineup I’m currently researching and excited about.
Now I can have 3 tanks with BR 11.7 in a lineup, I just don’t understand why are you angry about this tank.
they are gonna add more tanks in the future this is not the end for Germany.
Now we all know Gaijin added the new stuff to Germany after other nations had about 1 or 2 updates.
This is unquestionably a very sad thing for Germany.
But there is a reason behind this.
The nation who built the vehicle gets it before anyone else.
you might not like or agree with this but this is still a valid reason for gaijin’s choices there is still logic to it.
at least this is what I thought.
Adding the Lynx to Hungary/Italy is The Hardest Pill To Swallow in war thunder.
And then they made this new video on War Thunder’s official channel
German IFVs: From Marder to Lynx
Why would they put this title?
it almost feels like they are taunting German Mains.
They should put the title: From Marder to Lynx.
Now if it was a way to say it’s gonna come next to Germany that’s even worse.
It means even with your own vehicle you will not get it first.
if Gaijin has any shred of honesty and fairness they will never add Lynx to Germany and apply the same role equally to all nations.
remove all vehicles that the nation didn’t operate.

Already did. There is not a single tank in War Thunder added post-2019 that was added to a country that didn’t service the tank.
Bo-105 is almost immune to IR missiles. Probably an ingame thing due to its tiny size. Its very hard to get a IR lock on a Bo, Lynx or UH. Check this out :) UHT hasn’t this advantage. Once your flares got auto ejected (after 3 seconds), youre defenseless vs Aim-9L, R60 etc…
Thats a big pro. The Bo is really good at its BR. Before the missile change I got great matches with it. Now all Saclos ATGM helis are blep. Be it Hinds or whatever, you can’t hit with this tumbling missiles anymore. Except close range.
Still wouldn’t uptier it to top tier. UHT has other pro’s like Stingers and the very nice thermal viewer. The trick is just to only pick it on open maps without too much trees (like Sands of Sinair and 3-4 others). Don’t use it on unsuited maps, this saves you alot headache.
lets duel sometime. my exams end after the 26th, so i can show ya how terrible i am

That’s not true for example F16s were all added at the same time. I bet the leo2a7+ will be added to Germany and Italy in the same update aswell if not earlier for italy due to lack of top tier tanks.
german fire bombs were first added to the italian tree aswell and we still don’t have sd/sc70 bombs which the israel bf109 has
