Rafale M F1 early or late, I’m not sure

But without targeting pod and zero Air-to-Ground armaments

an early Rafale with only a2a capabilities? That sounds cool. But we’ll still need a late Rafale M after it though
Maybe the exocet missile for the late Rafale M?

Except in game the type 90’s armor is 565 for the turret cheeks and 440 for the UFP

We have official manufacturing data in the Type 10
Composite weight increased from type 90 to Type 10 by 1.4 times
To keep things balanced I chose the smaller average number compared to the actual numbers

This leaves us with the actual in game values that it should be as 790 for the turret cheeks
620 for the UFP

Is it too late for the Technical Maintenance annoucement?

Looking at watch Any minute now huh?

Spoiler

ok

Pretty sure almost all of the modern MBTs in the game have less armour than they should according to official sources. This is nothing special or unique to the Japanese MBTs.

Finally the US gets a GOOD SPAA!

I love how quickly some people just whip out the documents lol

I know, I’m just poking fun at the fact we’re mostly only allowed reused / shared assets.

Snail don’t seem to want to add Spyder for us, but if they could give it to someone else at the same time, they might be more inclined to model it.

(It wasn’t a serious suggestion lol)

For accuracy purposes we choose the lowest assumed number. We know that the type 10 can withstand its own round from 250 meters away so we already know the armor is quite good

This is also for balancing purposes
The LFP should be left untouched to allow players a weak spot to hit
The gun mantlet should be left alone
Turret ring area should remain the same
Everything else should be left alone
Basically the weak spots remain the same, but the strong points should get stronger providing the player increased protection and a balanced game play experience

No “planned technical works” post so far

What do you think, still a chance this evening?

We have another 4-ish hours yet until we can safely say there’s no update tomorrow. The announcement usually is released between 7pm and 11pm GMT
