Finally something interesting for me. I suspect it will be premium and take the place of the premium ZTZ96A.

I believe its essentially F/A-18A+ model, so weaker engines but comes with all the updated internals, so loadout wise its competitive, its fairly light weight as well. So you have access up to aim9x , aim 120, and all the ground strike munitions. So it can be balanced better than the current f18c early they are offering. Which kinda seems useless conpared to the f/a18c late , and the current f/a18A

@Smin1080p_WT Tell the development team, that it is impossible to get to the dev server due to errors

There is, however, an indirect and welcome survivability buff to the Abrams; the new trunnion vertical drive modelling makes it act like a spall liner, and now mantlet hits are very survivable leaving aside the gun destruction.

It’s only fair to point out positives, hahah. I just hope we get fixes like the turret neck armor, and for the baskets to be left as spall protection and NOT be a part of the traverse mechanism.

And I also hope Gaijin won’t revert this and make this module generate extra spall, lol. This is the first W for the Abrams I’ve seen in a long time.

I hope gaijin will keep it that way. Who knows maybe they will make it generate more spall in the future

In the past gaijin made abrams side turret armor weaker at one point, they fixed it after that but you shouldn’t expect much from them.

Well I decided to give it a bash ;)

Heck yeah, thanks dude

@Smin1080p_WT Every nation except Japan now has a 14.0 aircraft at hand. When can the Japan players expect to also receive one? Thanks!

According to some folks, BVVD said in the RU stream that it will be implemented somewhere in 2025, but not soon.

So my guesses are october/december

Has su-30sm been confirmed to be in su27 line?

yes it has

you realise the CF-188 is just an F/A-18A? only the CF-188 IMPP1 got that A+ stuff and then the only upgrade over the A was JDAMs from what i can see as there’s no mention of a targeting or lasing pod, plus i don’t really see why we get an 18 as a premium, idk just feels like we couldve got something like a saudi f-15 for high tier
