Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

I got lost, again. I thought it was the VT-5, the one that was coming

I mean, the VT-5 and ZTQ15 aren’t exactly the same vehicles, after all.

What kind of tank is this? Merkava?

Yes, just a meme. I found it funny to read that a tank can operate at 8800 m asl

That’s obviously impossible. I’ve never heard that the VT5/ZTQ15 can work fine at 8800 meters. The maximum is at an altitude of 5000-6000m.

I wonder how Abrams with gas turbine would do at high altitude

Then will the F14b get the AIM-9M? Because now it should get it from being move up to BR 13.0 which all jet in this BR got IRCCM missiles. Including the F14A which should get the AIM-9L as well because the F18A has the same BR as the F14A but comes with the AIM-9L.

You can ask the Indians to buy some M1A2 and you’ll know hahaha. Just kidding.

We do have 2 VT-5 model now, IDK if Gaijin wanna add another VT5(BD)

Honestly, for IRL I think that would be really interesting. Could see actual comparison between T-90M and late model Abrams

But wouldn’t like it for WT

It’s an interesting question. In a normal engine, the higher the altitude, the faster it will heat up, not counting the lack of oxygen. For example, some modifications had to be made to the Chilean Leopard 2.

I guess turbines work better at high altitude, but I have no idea.

Bit counterintuitive no?

At least from a logical point of view. At higher altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature and a more advanced cooling system is needed.

I honestly don’t know how the M1’s turbine works. That was a good question.

Tell Trump to sell us some M1s to test in the Andes lol

Nah not favouritism, we can see ships in several nations except their home nations be it from being built there or ordered by another nation.

• We see this with the only Wickes class destroyer in game is the British Town class 1940 HMS Montgomery G95 Ex USS Wickes DD-75.

• The Pillau class cruiser, originally ordered by Imperial Russia but with the outbreak of the first world war their were requisitioned by the Kaiserliche Marine. (we see similar war requisition ships in game even in the Italian TT).

• Also now that the Netherlands are in the French TT we can also see the K class Sloop in a similar way which was added way back in 1.79 with the German naval TT, We should see an as designed K-1 or the post war K-3/ Hr.Ms Van Speijk.

There’s 2x light tank models that have been found in CDK, both of which are export tanks, the Bangladeshi one (VT-5BD) which is the Squadron vehicle on the devserver, and another base VT-5 that has the Heavy Armor upgrade which is the ERA/Cage armor on the sides and rear that hasn’t been seen in-game yet.

VT-5BD as seen on the devserver.


The VT-5 equipped with the Heavy Armor package.


We’ll likely get the VT-5 with the Heavy Armor in the research tree within the next 2x updates, similarly to how Japan had the RCV(p) squadron at first (to milk the GE…) before the ICV(p) was added. ZTQ15 will be long-term, not expecting that anytime soon sadly.

Images of the ZTQ15 for Reference

Haven’t seen the PRC’s ZTQ15’s with the Heavy Armor package but it has integrated/layered FY-4 ERA on the turret cheeks and LFP.

Any information on battleships getting a higher br.
This is not fun gameplay when I’m just a cruiser.
