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

What is your personnal rank if you have played all of them ?

The santal has better missiles and more of them plus a really good search radar… the 4 iglas limit you a lot, and they platform itself is straight up worse than the pgz worse ballistics, sights and radar…

Well, I don’t have access to it, so I can only judge it’s performance by the stat cards and specs.

I guess my feelings about this are gonna change when the resupply points for SAMs are coming, since that is gonna give the SAM-only SPAAs some advantages

My main problem with the PGZ is that the manpads on it feels like Manpads when they were first added to the game, and are very unreliable against jets, and just don’t lock helis until they are ontop of you, and hate doing consistent damage.

Clarify?

Imagine a Chinese line of just ZBL08 based vehicles, TD, recon, ifv, SPAA, etc

Lmao, they got some wacky ones, like the one with 8x ATGM launcher

Yes. I also want to see smaller self-propelled mortar APC’s too, at least the ones that are capable of direct fire. PLL-05 would be really cool. The Nona-S I’ve waited too long for.

I love Chinese gear because in real life it’s frowned upon for being “bad” because most people don’t seem to understand it’s basically minmaxed meta kit for very specific contexts and criteria.

It fits well into a BR system which allows for that real-life minmaxing to be represented.

If it is the Ram with the 2pdr, I’m guessing it’d be anywhere from 2.7 to 3.3.
But if it’s the same armour, then minimal BR is 3.0, but I can’t see it being higher than 3.3 due to the gun.
Other tanks with the 40mm 2pdr are the Matilda, A13, Crusader II, Valentine I etc.
So if rumours are true, Ram would be 3.0 give or take.

After checking the dev server notes, looks like this is a solid patch.

So many features added across the board, things modified, it’s good.

Highlights are:

Automatic waveform manipulation for radars

FCS HUD for ships (not dog-ass aiming)

Fuel sliders

No more stock missile bug!!!

I live! Ok wait did I miss and why as I pinged oh?

Oh, a Ram we finally have more Ram models but it’ll be sad I can’t run her with her older sister.
The 2-pr Ram would probably feel like playing a Churchill tank with(Ok) armour but horrible guns for their BR.

Personally, I would have gone with a Ram II (Late) of any of the built models.

I can’t take this hope. Please Gaijin.

Well, enough joking it’s nice to see Canada get more recognition as they’ve seen up in the majority of the recent leak lists(both real and fake).

The thing is, no matter how much better the SAMs of the competition are, they are completely useless if there are no planes or helis around, but at the same time, if you meet aircraft and end up having to re-arm you are completely defenseless

As I just said in the other reply tho, the resupply points for for missile vehicles are gonna help with these issues a lot. Plus, since that gap in the USSR tree is now filled, the remaining gaps in other SPAA trees can be filled next

Automatic waveform manipulation? Like automatic switching from PD/MTI tracking to regular tracking if the target notches?

Yea I would make the same conclusion’s too.

Canadian Leo and the RAM I just suddenly appeared without any warnings and at BR’s where they are not needed and would be more controversial than being helpful.

It just asking to fuel the imagination.

I am gunna be very interested to try that out when it comes to live. Looks good.

I think so:

No more manual switching? Why tho?

That is something that confused me too. I guess they couldnt get it to work with both. Manually swapping just confused it or it kept overriding it or something.
