Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Bunch of Belgian variants made by Mecar. Ranging from M1001 and m1050 (comparable to DM23 and DM33) to M1060 (500+mm RHA at 2km pen). Whether gaijin adds the last one is a balancing concern, but the first 2 should be a no brainer to actually get the vehicle right.

There’s also a bunch of custom HE and HEAT rounds that are already in-game on some vehicles like the Boxer MGS

I thought Gaijin would talk about their new understanding of internal detailing, but it turns out it’s just about the armor of the M1 series?

Next blog F-15E RMP right?

If Gaijin’s opinion is correct, why is there no improvement in the Leopard 2A7V hull armor? The weight has increased, there is evidence of improvements, and there are also conjectures. And simply, at the very least, the report that they are identical to the strv122 has also been passed.

Hey Smin,
The Dev Server is now closed…
War Thunder is by far my favorite game for a long time…
I know you don’t get to do all the decisions but you are still the best contact for information for the community.
The efford you do is insane.
But my concern in the last few years is getting bigger and bigger. The proplems are getting worse
Russia is overperforming and has too many active players… If Gaijin is going to keep adding vehicles like Pmpt/ Pantsir Sm etc it will end up in matches being Russia vs Russia…
Another thing vehicle Modules (on MBT)
In the next update, every MBT has the big Horizontal aiming drive… but not Russia and China and Italy. I don’t see the ztz and ariete as a problem but the T family feels like a full uptier sometimes… (I have like 100 clips of trunions eating rounds)
And than we have selective realism, and oh boy it is Bad I mean was the kh38mt ever used?
Why is China getting an f16v now?
(i have every vehicle in the Chinese Tech tree, i really like the nation)
There is allready j10c and j15t!
And Israel? Best plane 14.0 no spa from 9.7 to 12.7 and the spyder is dogwater for nothing close to Pantsir sm/sv.
I don’t want to see the game dying because of low demand money priority. have a good day bro. i don’t expect you to answer. if you do respect.

Didn’t realise Scorpion was a 4.0 vehicle.

with the current state of hesh it would be

amazing, now when are the challenger fixes? /j

Hey

We are still working through tank series variants to include the updated modules. The current list is by no means final. We have expanded them since the Leopard and Abrams Initally.

This is the variant used by them. So like every other nation, they are open to consideration to receive it.

This is a bit strange. Its like saying there is already the F-16 and 15, so we cant add the F-18 to the US.

Israel will receive a new top fighter jet into its tree in a future major update.

hey smin, 2 questions

1: will the hull armour upgrade also apply to the aussie sepv3 (this is a dumb question but i want confirmation)

2: is there any possibility this report could be looked at again as we now have a 2nd M1A1 AIM coming to the game

Thank you. :D

Do we get a hint as to what aircraft this is or will it be staying as a mystery?

Gonna be a rafale, i know it

Hey smin, if you can answer / dont mind, do you happen to know if ESM is planned for all aircraft? Or just ones with ARMs; on the dev server only ARM equipped platforms got it.

ARMs currently. But its possible it may be expanded in the future.

At first my biggest respect!
And than I do not mean I don’t want the f16v in China, I will certainly enjoy it for sure, but the Greek f16v to Israel would be better for the game balance.
U just ignored the point with Russia overperforming vehicles and the selective realism.
My thing is that you have strict rules from above what to say and what not but i love WT and i guess U love war thunder too like prop all devs. But I also know you see the problems most people see.
You don’t have to answer the last part but let it sink in.
Thanks for youre answer
Keep the head up ;)

We’ve already mentioned our considerations for a Greek sub tree in the future for Israel, as well as their own future options, but this doesnt stop another existing nation getting a new vehicle too before that happens.

I didnt mean it that way, more like lets maybe not focus on the cash making Nations…
U dont have to answer on this one couse u
Cant just say oh yes premium f14 cause we want the lvl 6 in 13.0 lobies.
That would be wierd…
The world runs on money i like money Gaijin too and smin prop too. My big guess is every body likes Money. (Yeah im smart af)<- joke btw
But i hope it gets better then now i hope we can enjoy war thunder the next years and it does not end like Battlefield and cod…
Died of greed btw

Is there going to be any similar response regarding all the feedback from the F-14D being a premium only?

It’s pretty much the last major issue people have with this update and Gaijin has been effectively silent on it.
