Lets talk about the state of Germany

That version of the map was in ages ago, i remember having it a few times like half a decade ago, was absolute pain though as you were playing it in like king tigers XD

Why are we using US CIA Reference documents to nerf a German tank ?? I thought Gaijin stated for the M1 they can’t use russian doc’s to change the vehicle because the source has other flaws … Community Bug Reporting System
Not to mention it has flaws

The source is from 1984, the 2A4 started production in 1985.
Not that Gaijin cares

2A4 main changes were to FCS, gun and its placement wasnt changed anyhow, so 2A4s elevation should be same as earlier ones for sure.

I know.
Still, 40/40 is correct for both 2A4 and 2A5 etc. and was proven to be in a previous report.

2A5 has electrical turret traverse, 2A4 doesnt.

The possible traverse speeds are identical though

That speed is confirmed by three additional sources.

Also, that CIA materials have certainty and uncertainty, so make sure to read them in context. at least they are explaining when they is uncertain.

Does any of you have sources for the leopard 2AV weight? It now weighs 2.5 tons more than the 2A4. A few patches ago it was still the same weight.

It’s ridiculous. It is assumed that just the 120 cannon makes the 2A4 heavier compared to the 2AV…

but that isn’t the case the 2A4 is 2.5 tons lighter than the 2AV with less armor and a smaller cannon.

Now all we need are some more tangible sources for the mythical APFSDS round.

What with the vertical targeting speed getting nerfed on the 2A4 getting nerfed? Is that accurate or?

If it helps, the original bug report I submitted for the missing hot missiles was sent to the devs on the old forums.
Begleitpanzer 57 missing HOT missile for its armament - Documented Ground Reports - War Thunder - Official Forum

If you copy over what I posted in the original bug report they should not need any other sources and it should be enough since that is the only primary source on the vehicle . Pretty much all the secondary sources also mention the HOT/TOW missiles being interchangeable by the missile launch system.

Hopefully the new report jogs their memory to add it, would be a nice side-grade to the I-TOW , extra little bit of pen but a slower missile .

The report I sent was pretty much yours, almost verbatim. Both were accepted, but I wonder if they had an internal report open after you sent the first one in. At this point it’s like poking the devs with a stick and hoping they move
