  • Leopard 2AV, Leopard 2A4 (all variants), Leopard 2 (PzBtl 123), Leopard 2A4M, Leopard 2 PL, Leopard 2 PSO, Leopard 2A6 (all variants), Leopard 2A7V, Leopard 2A7HU, Strv 121, Christian II, Strv 122B, Strv 122B+, Strv 122B PLSS — zones in the rear hemisphere in which the gun depression limit of +3 degrees is applied have been changed from ±40 degrees to ±75 degrees.

This change wouldn’t be that big of an issue if the game didn’t force you to fight in such unrealistic close quarters. Revert this change for the sake of game balance.

EDIT:
You can nerf Brimstones because they would be too powerful even tho KH-38ML exists.
Still didn’t fix helicopter tracking with rotor mounted sights (Kiowa and EC Tiger), so they cannot even lock targets if they’re behind cover.
Didn’t give F-15E better engines because it would be “best fighter and attacker” and now nerfing Leopards close quarter capabilites.

Of all the safety features to implement… They pick this. Meanwhile there’s a ton of vehicles missing spall liners, or AA missing elevation values.

Please add wing drop tanks to the Shahak, it really needs them it only gets 27 minutes of fuel and the centerline fuel tank takes the spot of the radar missile

Believe the MS upgrades might be akin to US “Block” upgrades.

JAS-39C MS18 is pretty much what we’d have in game minus some of the avionics equipment.

JAS-39C MS20 would integrate auto-GCAS (if this is ever implemented in the future) MBDA Meteor and GBU-39s into the plane.

Beyond that it’s most likely JAS-39E realm

Maybe double check your Settings
My game was all blurry until fixing the post FX Settings

excuse me but this is the safety mechanism for parades, using this as reference for a nerf ingame is laughable

This is not historical and youtube videos as you said multiple times are not credible sources

please revert the change before causing massive outrage in the playerbases of all nations who have leo2s,

but random videos on youtube are?

Is it really correct that the Super Hind dont carries Air 2 Air Missiles? Seems a bit odd for the most advanced Hind.

No it isn’t, its a function that is automatic when the stabilizer is on, the gunner can turn the stabilizer off and force the aiming past those safety points using the emergency drive in an emergency situation (which i personally think they should model into the game if these limits are kept and not removed before live server).

I’m sure they aren’t, i was just using it to quickly and easily show that it works like that IRL.

It is. I’ve seen parts of manuals (i don’t remember if they are restricted/confidential/secret/etc so i won’t post them until i know for certain), those numbers are listed.

Agreed, but i haven’t claimed that they are either. I also haven’t claimed that it is what Gaijin used as a source for the change.

I do not have any say in what Gaijin decides, nor do i have any sort of insight behind the scenes.
(Game Masters are volunteers, we only deal with chat- and name- bans and those are the only things i have access to).

Are AIM-120B going to be added to any other carrying aircraft?

Tho 2x 37mm guns still miss their Practice ammo.

Possibly the christmas update

Understandable and i second your opinion of adding the override to the safety points ingame.

Let’s not cause another sekret document incident so i trust you on this one

It’s possible to know the sources gaijin used?

So you don’t have a line of communications with devs? I’m asking because i want them to know before implementing the change that this change to leo2s would anger a lot of players, so we can avoid unnecessary drama and headaches in the community and in the game. (the solution can be full revert or changes that softens the nerf, i’m not saying what they should do).

I’m sorry if my comments sometimes come out a bit rough but i get passionate when things happens on war thunder, as it’s my favourite game (with 5k hours) i want it to prosper and not have issues, and i think a lot of other players think like me, we want that the game reaches it’s full potential and prospers for the years to come

Many have asked, i’m hoping they’ll answer, but i don’t know.

I do not, i have a line with Community Managers. They in turn have some sort of (to me unknown) way of contacting the DEV’s and i don’t even know if that is direct either. But i won’t really make any more difference than any other players posts here on the forum would. Going by how vocal players are about this it’s almost impossible for them to have missed it, so my contribution wouldn’t matter.

Understandable.

Will the NATO RWR changes mean that they will detect friendly radars too in Simulator Battles?

It should!

This is hugely important as sales are coming up. If they detect friendly radars then I won’t be buying the F-20 (f it even comes up for sale).

Can you up the chances of Wing vapor happening and make it more dense/ visible? The vortices they make are wayy easier and more dense than the wing vapor
It is very hard to get the most common form of LERX in game (Wings being covered) and it’s next to invisible to see.

Im not sure but that sure as hell looks like a lightning pod with the possibility to carry 3 mav´s next to it

When will Israel get a top tier Spaa??? Now Russia gets SU-34 that can carry 6 kh-38 and the Israel line has ZERO way to counter any planes or helis from range…

Isn’t there a key bind in the game to turn the stabilizer off already? Why not make Gaijin relate the restrictions to the stabilizer then and just remind players how to turn it off if need be?
