DUDE.
WARTHUNDER ISNT LIFE.
Please, do more research outside of this forum man… Seriously.
P.s that isn’t how engines work [Torque]. And yes, the A2 has an upgraded rangefinder.

You know you don’t need to be an ass about it right? Besides, an upgraded ORF won’t have any meaning ingame since they’re all treated the same.

I mentioned the rangefinder purely as an example. Note how I said etc at the end of the previous message. I’m pretty sure I made it VERY clear I wasn’t only talking in-game with the follow up to that message.
Truth being there are in-fact more, and much more important at that, upgrades the A1/A2 have compared to the base production model M103.
Such as the; M14 ballistic computer, Turret electric amplidyne traverse system, A turret basket [Original Had No Basket], improved ammo stows+capacity, upgraded target sight. Then of course there’s the previously mentioned Continental AVDS-1790-2 Super-Turbo Diesel which replaced the outdated Continental AV1790 naturally aspirated gas engine. Ya-know the ill-performing [In the M103] engine originally built for the M46 PATTON!
[But at least some of the Pattons still had a turbo… The original M103 on the other hand, didn’t]
Idk why I’d have to mention most of these upgrades to you myself as most of these upgrades are featured in the original post header.
I’m not being an ass about anything. I made a remark and told you to do more research, because you clearly need to. Especially if you’re trying to talk like you know anything about the topic other than basic WT logic.
all-in-all, the M103A2 is a faster tougher and much more pleasant version of the tank already in-game and it has more than enough differences to be added to said game without it feeling too copy paste as usual… Cough Gaijin Cough.
As the user [MZARC] said the last time the M103A2 was talked about in a WT forum.

Dropping M469 on the base M103 to push it down while keeping the A2 up, is actually a great idea and I can totally see Gaijin doing that.

And before anyone says anything about the picture I included of an M103A2. Yes, it’s real
[Ive seen it in person]
And yes, the MERDC on it is 100% real original MERDC from the USMC Reserve Center in Yakima, WA.
This tank is one of a kind, and it is also my favorite… SO I WILL ALLOW NO BESMIRCHING OF IT!
I also made a pretty accurate UserSkin of it which I may or may not post. It really depends on if the A2 is ever actually added to the game and if enough people would want it.

A hint, maybe?
I dont think so sadly. I doubt they’ll convert the existing one to the A2.
Could see them drop the A2 as a squad, event, or premium. Though the 7-8 prem area is a bit crowded.

Gaijin ended up making just about the absolute worst changes to the M103 they could’ve possibly made… The tank is now more structurally weaker than it should ever be, and the actual in game model was changed so poorly it now resembles the model from world of tanks… What a -0 out of 10 update lol. Thanks Gaijin for just completely randomly deciding to ruin the M103, that’s great guys. The new one has to be one of the least accurate M103’s I’ve ever seen, why did they fatten and squish the tank?!
Although the new model is not without a fair number of flaws, overall it is still better than the old one due to the more or less correct position of the turret on the longitudinal axis. Well, and the quality of the model has become noticeably and significantly better.
