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

Pretty sure this is the helicopter at the start of the Thing when the Norwegians are tracking the dog

Idk though looks similar

Same system yeah?

L39 is FM is too bad, I wondering how it could only take 4 zuni pods and then the SL is about 530km/h?
And also due to the rocket launch issue still hasn’t been fixed, I really doubt its performances

@Smin1080p_WT Is there any plans for gaijin to allow the F-16s equipped with PIDS to be able to carry AIM-9s, AIM-120s, and AGM-65s on said pylons? This has been accepted for nearly two years and now with more and more F-16s having PIDS it really should be avaliable.

In his right nose his hair tells us that the Aussie KF 41 coming for Britain !

Link the report, it’s also not clear which F-16 you mean

F-16 w/ PIDS would be the F-16AMs + PoBIT / V iirc

There is only one F-16 that has the standard PIDS or PIDSU in War Thunder currently. That is the Belgian F-16A:

However the report that was accepted wrongfully says the PIDS+ can use A-2-A armaments, or at least uses the wrong PIDS image to prove as such (a PIDS instead of the PIDS+):

The F-16AM block 15 MLU cant use MAW/flare pods with missiles

The F-16AM’s (Norway, Belgium) have the PIDS+, same as the F-16CM PoBIT:

To be honest I get that it’s unfair, but I already tired of getting angry on this game. I just accept it as minor/japan nation tax, at least that way I don’t have to monitor my blood pressure.

I hope the next update (not the one coming) is only variants.

I want to watch WT Reddit and YouTube burn because people can’t read a wiki page or a history book. Or understand that a vehicle having a different look at a glance means it’s not a 1-1 vehicle like they all think it is.

yeah, the 1A5BE discourse has been depressing to read to be completely honest. I would hate to see the community discourse around a Leopard 1A3, AMX-13-105, or hell the (probably) upcoming Sabre event…

Indeed, this meme weekend hasn’t helped, but I was already growing to relizse these people will call the most unique vehicle in the world C&P just because a BeNeLux nation used it.

There was a post where you could see the 1A5BE and 1A5 next to each other, and you didn’t need to spend any brain power to tell it’s not pure C&P, and a post saying an AMX-30 with a stabilizer would be unique, yet the 1A5BE isn’t, makes me realize how hypocritical they are.

If other nations were held to BeNeLux standards, for this update the SEPv3 is C&P (after all, it’s another Abrams), or every welded hull Sherman with a 75mm gun is C&P (doesn’t matter one is 4.0, same hull type, same gun and same family = C&P to them).

I love that the Aussie abrams or Thai L-39 aren’t copy paste but a unique 1A5 variant is?

Tbf Im pretty sure people called the Italian 1A2 copy paste too
