Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

The Dunkerque class only had one kind of AP shell, the SAPC. And 713mm is the pen at 0m for this specific shell, the only one available. I’m not an expert, but the dudes at Navyweap claim this is from this source :

“This data is from “Battleships: Allied Battleships in World War II” pages 374-375 for a muzzle velocity of 2,854 fps (870 mps) and is based upon the USN Empirical Formula for Armor Penetration. On page 57, the authors state that the “armor-piercing shell . . . could penetrate 300 mm [11.81 in] of armor at 28,000 meters [30,722 yards],” but there is no mention of how this value was calculated.”

So itll just be alower BR, not that bad an issue then, mb

Still surprises me that they copy pasted a Block 40 instead of somewhat original Block 30

I am pretty sure you can delete a base with six of the grom-1. From 120km away. That’s going to be… interesting.

At least it’s the first non-IR SAM for Italy)

MS 444 is unexpected addition, though not much interesting, in terms of Higgins boats in Italian service, I’m waiting for those equipped with 37/54 cannon.
Funny enough Coastal tree seems to be the one regularly getting new additions for Italy.
PS although so far update is more about feeding up US and RU playerbases.

Welcome in modern military mate. Wait in like 8 years and see how many nations will have F-35

hopefully ru players wont still be bombing bases at 13.7 like f16c loaded with dumb bombs in air battles

yeah i reckon itll have a better round than the standard BMP2M

Still waiting for Hungarian Strela so i dont need to use Sidam 25

right, so france, which is stowed with indigenous jets, and tanks etc, has now got its best jet effectively is an F16, and best tank will be a leo2 at top tier, it neither used either of those.

its not modern military, theyre cramming in sub trees to nation that didnt need em, like the netherlands, by all common sense and logical standards should of been germany xD

Its War Thunder players. When the chance exists, some will take it. It probably is going to be a bigger issue in sim since time gated rewards are a thing there.

Time to stop this such Unbalance!!!
For what russians always get something best, but buffed on others???
