Same! When I sign up for night battles I want it to be actually dark, y’know
It’s also sad that a whole era of visible light/IR illuminators are left out of night battle entirely
Su-34 still has the GROM-2, which is same as GROM-1, except it replaced its booster with charge.

why? it still gets grom e2
There’s probably quite a while between when we get to that stage, she is the penultimate battleship completed by the UK depending on what sort of range she is allowed to engage at (she won’t be as good close-in as KGV or Nelson)
I would say a little bit before Iowa also. It’s one of those cases where introduction date =/= capability in-game and its hard to build ships whilst bombed. Really she was intended to be more of a NoCal/SoDak/Bismarck equivalent and were not intended to be the ships to slug it out with the likes of the Iowa class, that was reserved for the Lion class and their briefly-started successors.
The shells are faster, but retain the same weight, irl the shells had much improved shell design compared to the current one’s on Hood and Renown, in-game that isn’t factored leading to a 30-40% reduction in penetration capabilities iirc.
She should probably be added as a Bismarck competitor as KGV is a little bit worse (due to being like 7,000 tonnes lighter) and Nelson is a little bit better if she gets her historical best fire rate of 35 seconds.
Protection is increased over the other 15" designs though reduced compared to KGV and Nelson (better scheme than Nelson though), she also doesn’t have an angled belt which for me is the biggest single design flaw with the design as Britain literally invented angled armour for battleships and then didn’t use it here??
The AA is probably some of the best we will see and the FCS is the best we will see unless Gaijin gives the Iowa’s in a Korean war refit.

Yeah, still easily one of the best good bombs in the game as it is

I guess for better range? The FAB-500 models would be like half the weight of the E2’s, and could replace the hole in the plane’s modification tree.
Fast RoF and good sap pen nice

the range maybe, but there’s no hole in the modifications - I’d call them quite packed actually
Would be nice to have them on the Su-24 at least, since most other strike fighters at the BR now have 250kg and 500kg glide bombs.
GROM-2 is still the best glide bomb. It’s basiclly a pipe full of charge and with a wing. 400kg equal TNT/ 600kg weight and, it’s shape provides low drag
Oh yeah, I’m not saying GROM-E2 isn’t good, and the Su-34 is fine without UMPC. I was just thinking out loud a bit.
With geniere being 4.3 and gering being 4.7 for at least 2 years now I dont see why the murasame should go to 4.7
Personally I find WW1 should be more of an optional thing.
For an idea.
If WW1 is “-1.0 to Reserve” (just an example).
Then that means a Mark V is capable of meeting an Auto Cannon armoured car.
Idk, WW1 should be like Coastal though, it’s there if you want it type of thing.
Would definitely be really nice though.
Just means that the only unique Countries are Britain, France, and Germany, and Russia (I guess???)

The J-11 also had a slightly different model to the Su-27 and still got added in the same patch
Mirage 2000D RMV!

@Smin1080p_WT Are there any update day surprises possibly for a Chinese strike plane? Seems like a great time to add the Su-30MKK.
Seeing as how OSA’s are being handed out left right and centre, Anyone aware of some kind relationship Israel may have with someone who operates them?
I am absolutely desperate at this point.

Why does the OSA-AKM have the “9M33A3” instead of the proper 9M33M3 with 15km of range? That was like the whole point of the SA-8B Mod.1 upgrade.
all them france mains be grabbing the baby oil and tissue paper rn
No they don’t. Only USA, USSR, and China get glide bombs in general, and at the BR is only the A10C with ~120kg GBU-39s but yk, its the A10C
