Major Update 'Alpha Strike" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Lucky, some older ingame nation are still waiting xD

The roadmap stuff

“Tacview” as people call it

The first Su-25 which is genuinely capable of doing CAS duty when fighting against top AA. I’m not really sure if 40km range missiles is really the right solution, but Su-25 probably need to outrange AA since they can’t be fast or dodge missiles other than stingers on a good day.

FV721 looks somewhat interesting, although since the rounds with actual penetration are now rank 4, not sure what 51mm of pen is going to be doing at 7.0

ZBD04A and ZSU-23-M4 are the only things I’m unreservedly excited for.

Other stuff is either disinteresting to me, disappointing to me or bad for the game IMHO.

China has the most IFVs available to get added.

  • VN17
  • VN12
  • VN1
  • VN8
  • VN11
  • VN20
  • VN22
  • ZBD04A
  • ZBD03
  • ZBD2000
  • Type 08
  • Type 19
  • CM34
  • Multiple variants of the WZ551

I don’t think there’s any nation with as many domestic IFVs available that didn’t have a single proper domestic IFV until now. And this list still isn’t everything. They also have maybe ~5 SPAA that would double as an IFV similar to how the LAV-AD can be used as an IFV.

Can somebody ask the Chinese military to commission an IFV with a twin 85mm autocannon please please please please I am not crying please please ple- /j /s /hcop

The JRVG-1A has a 76mm autocannon firing at 300 RPM (three times faster than the OTOMATIC). The B is the tracked tank variant with the same turret. That’s almost as much lead down range.

No it hurts it hurts a lot specially when you work hard on something and end up with almost nothing even if the hopes come true it will never be what you wanted as long as Gaijin keep twisting it

AlphaJet and Bf 109C make it good for me

otherwise It changes no Metas so it’s eh

Oh how I’m watching the page, waiting for the announcement

I mean it’s there and finally they’re adding a Möbelwagen

after all those were the majority of german fully tracked SPAAs at the time

F-20, AH-1W, Gunpods on the MH-60L DAP, AH-60 Battlehawk, and F-5E FCU are all pretty high up there, which makes this a very good update for me.

Seeing the Alpha Jets finally arrive has made me happy as well.

Su-25SM3 is something I never really knew about, but it seems like Frogfoot enjoyers and Russian CAS enjoyers are happy, so I’d say that’s good for them. Hungary getting added to Italy is a bit controversial, but it does net them some decent stuff, so I’m alright with it.

Overall, this update sits at about a 7-8/10 for me. Classic filler, but in a good way

Okok, not bad.

I’m gonna stop here because i probably miss a lot too, either of variants or new vehicles.
Was hard to not go into the crazy number of light tanks too (EBRC Jaguar etc) since both IFV and Lights tank are close and needed, and both available in big number.

And same as you, some of them can be SPAA variants too, even the little VBL.

So, yep, you’r not the only one with crazy possibilities ^^
