Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Why M-346 lack AIM-9M?

Yes and no, M900 is the 105 mm M68 gun series round (supplied by the Belgian company MECAR too). It does have comparable perfomance, but the base M1060 would have slightly less penetration (400 mm @ 60° / 2000 m). The M1060A1, M1060A2, M1060A3 and M1060CV would all have better penetration.

In WT you look at the 30° number:

Gaijin needs to step it up, that’s What! I think at this point adding boats 20’ long with a 30mm gun on the front…is well 😮‍💨 add the two boats from the trailer…watch the Naval population go Sky High!!!

Hey.

These are not things that are in any sort of plans for this major. So the reports can be passed as suggestions at a later time. Currently the team are focusing on dealing with reports primarily from the dev server.

Please do not add [DEV] to the titles of reports that are not related to the dev server, as this confuses everyone working on reports when we are trying to tackle priority matters.

We will have more news and details on Nuclear Thunder when the time comes. Now the dev server is the primary focus.

when they will give IRIST SLS into Nomads as better spaa than Elde 98 ?

Just noticed, they seem to be implementing the volumetric on the m1a1, the turret ring is much more protected against autocannons
M1a1


M1A2

Guys any improvemnts to the Spike in dev?
Was trying the Boxer CRV in live, its absolutely horrid … doesn’t even lock on half of the time

It was passed to the devs but that just means it’s a suggestion

When will the devs Folder the NOMADS? Currently it’s takes over 1 million RP to get the NASAMS from the first 12.0 SPAA at rank 8 on Sweden and is the only nation having 4 non foldered vehicles in a row. Yet the devs denied the bug report. Also this is the third or fourth time I’ve asked you about this matter.

Why is the NOMADS not foldered?

i killed a TORM1 and a shilka in test drive w the AGM88A on the american f18 prem and it crashed when the tor died, all other spaa died fine, fuck knows if its a bug w the same game itself or unlucky timing

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

since the pucara is premium, im starting to believe there’s genuinely a game convention stating all turboprops must be premium

The spike loft changes that were mentioned in the russian dev stream only seem to apply to the spike-ER fired from helicopters, which seem to have a much higher angle of attack now. Is this same change going to be applied to spike LR2 as well?

cough
