Major Update “Firebirds” — DEV Server Changelog (25.10.2024) - Dev Server is closed

Lmao you have no idea what you’re talking about. Swedish Gepard has a much worse radar set barely comparable to the one on German Gepard. Sure guns are the same and hull is better but for what role is it better? Definitely not for anti air as that only makes the vehicle taller and easier to spot.

Type 87? Yeah this one has worse track radar aswell for the cost of better search radar range which is useless in GRB.

Bit of an off topic thing here; but with India being basically a sub-tree to Britain, does that mean they can expect to see the Indian Mig-29 and Su-30MKI? Or whatever the HAL Tejas is?

Obviously. I fully expect Gaijin to add MiG-29K to UK and USSR as a counter/equivalent to F/A-18C in the next update.

I don’t know anything about Migs. I take it it’s an updated model that what is in game currently?

Edit: It would appear to be a naval variant with updated radar coatings and HUDs as well as an HMD.

Enlighten me.

One of the radars, ALR-69, has symbology that indicates specific threats down to the radar set. It can and will identify what specific threat is marking it, especially ground SAM systems. This is true for all RWRs that can be indexed with an updated library, so this change is completely wrong.

It’s too late, Italy shouldn’t have gotten Hungary, Sweden shouldn’t have gotten Finland, gaijin said to have features, but Germany’s features are everywhere and better than the German version.

It indicates general brevity terms, not radar set. The best it can do is differentiate a 2S6 from a Roland, a Tor and Osa, and a few SPAAGs. It will not index many other targets beyond that, and 56M ESPECIALLY won’t be giving you specific variants of S-300 and S-400 like the prior will.

Can Germany please get like a Polish F-16D (Example) or something. They need better top tier jets.

I haven’t tried running the Dev client on my steam deck, but regular War Thunder runs great on SteamOS, just gotta play with low settings (which doesn’t bother me, since I usually play in ULQ or with optimized visibility settings anyways lol)

Sadly it looks like Britain is almost guaranteed to be getting MiGs and Sukhois in the future, likely even before the Typhoon.

The Tejas, as interesting as it is, might still be too new. Most important info and specs probably are still classified or unobtainable.

This is the ranking based on the comprehensive score. If you don’t have an 8-barreled gun, you are useless because helicopters are not afraid of you and you have no margin for error. Roland has the worst reload, the worst protection, the largest hull, the most internal structures, and even its reverse function has been weakened recently (other vehicles have force reload, while Roland needs to reload by returning to the normal position). Germany has to face a CAS that is much stronger than Germany itself, but it has the worst top-level SAM.

Don’t laugh at the ADATS/M3. Its missiles may not be very good at anti-aircraft performance, but it is beam riding (ignoring soft kill active defense), and its speed is not slow. At the same time, it has 8 rounds of reload, can also cause devastating damage to ground units, and has a 500RPM cannon as a self-defense weapon.

The fact the Flakbus is ranked so low in your opinion is amusing.

Also you forgot UK has a ADATS too.

I checked your service record, you don’t have a Roland do you, in fact you only have the British version of the ADATS, which is slower and more fragile and has no cannon. Not surprising then that you know nothing about the top SAM rankings.
