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

Game Discussion General Discussion
7191

It is said that sometime, somewhere - a Gaijin Dev was given a wedgie by a British Tank Designer. Thus, with a high-pitched squeak and limping - he swore on that day, in that moment that he would get revenge on Perfidious Albion in any way they could.

…probably.

It’s the only way it makes any sense anyhow. SOMEONE in St Petersbe…ahem…Hungary has a real pathological dislike for Brit tanks and vehicles in general.

Why else the constant refrain of refusing to fix the Challenger in any way, shape or form…

7192

Not only refusing to fix, but then actively making worse.

Could you imagine a russian tank having FCS scattered this much around?

I agree, just giving it to the GR.4 seems like a waste

7194

I called it, they had already done it once before we cant have the challenger 2s having actually effective armour otherwise they might just be decent and not terrible

i really really don’t understand how the devs think the CR2 is in a good state to the point where they have to add a turret basket and not give it any mean to protect its self

7196

Here’s my particular issue (well, one of a list at this point).

Let us say that while the NERF CR2 devs weren’t looking one day - someone snuck into the office and did everything the Brit Forumites have been asking for. The lot.

Fix the mantlet - as in, actually fix it.
Fix the GLACIAL first-stage ammo replenishment.
Regen steering.
Make the NERA actually work.
Give L27A1 it’s actual ability to plink T-80U ERA arrays - as all the documents say it can.

Would you have a game-breaking tank that would totally mess up top-tier?

Would it suddenly launch British Win Rates to new heights and knock Russia off it’s (coming up to a year) high perch?

Would it make the game worse for the playerbase as a whole in any way, shape or form? (Notable regular characters who shall-not-be-named notwithstanding).

No.

the fact its the slowest MBT at top tier, has the worst ammunition at top tier, now one of the worst hulls at top tier and the smallest ready rack at top tier

and all it gets is an average reload rate that you burn through in 4 shots and have a longer reload then even T90s yeah its totally in a fine spot lmao

it can intercept darts tho… only if you are 600+ meters away surely most top tier maps arent close quarters right…

7201

Real talk why is your game at like 4.0 gamma

even then its a dice roll if it intercepts them plus what’s their reasoning behind the CR2E with the same armour

7203

War thunder cant handle OLED/HDR very well

7204

the 2E should be at most 12.0 it has worse ammo and worse ready rack compared to the M1A1 at 12.0

its literally only at 12.7 so gaijin can say the UK has 2 12.7s

yep pretty much this

7206

One day I’ll become a Ground nerd and be able to partake in such discussions surrounding… well whatever.

Until then, holding W to victory (using the “best” tank in the game with nonexistent reverse gear, T-90M)

7207

…at least now most Challenger 2s are 11.7, but there are still some 12.7s…

fortresss

(And people claim that I only “cry” about the Abrams :P)

Keep fighting the fine fight Brother. Everyone secretly loves the Challenger 2 (what human cannot adore a gun with attached tea-making facilities) so we appreciate your advocacy.

I was so, so, SO excited about this update at first…

It seemed like they were finally giving Modern MBTs some love, but then… yeah.

I guess the additions (even if nerfed), M829A3 and turret ring and module changes are welcome still. I’ll give them that.
