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

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/qy7QC0ktkSqH

new weapon suggestion up. about the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen armaments. if you got any more sources to add please do.

hmmm I wonder if we will see the JAS39C in the UK tree go down in BR as its only got the R-Darters that were already a lot worse then AIM-120As never mind C-5s

Not really an impactful buff tbh
Like, sure, you can lauch the missile on a target that is 90° off of you, but you’ll have 0 range and the missile will be incredibly easy to chaff

ye. R-darters arent very good. either that or give it Aim-120’s cause as one mod said:

Can kh38mt situation be finally answered?

Ppl are focusing on the funny youtube videos of over the shoulder shot and forgetting this means the Rafale will be able to more reliably move in and out of the notch while still firing MICA’s HOBS. This is a bit more of a significant buff than ppl are giving it credit for, particularly in the hands of a good pilot.

They did answer it, they locked the thread and buffed the missile

how are you smin is there any update about why the Baz Meshupar radar got changed making it heavily worse and if its planned to introduce the Python-4 to it as a form of compensation?

Oh so its back
Good that i spaded it

yes they changed the radar reverting it to the state it was when it got introduced to the game in my opinion really criminal specially if there is no compesation after this.

AGM-142/spice justification for the BazM?

Track range got reduced to 10K against tank sized targets, Id hardly call that a buff.

Where can I find them?

that does not compensate anything for air to air tho we lost a really significant capability right here, and also leave that weapons for the Ra´am Python-4 should be added to compensate the huge loss for air to air combat.

did it? hadnt seen that yet, glad to hear it

Report that Bismarck has more than 708mm pen, Gaijin statement “Penetration is calculated with de marre formula with correct range table. Not a bug.”

Then you go to Calculation of Armour Penetration | War Thunder Wiki and enter the data there. Even after their calculation the pen is not correct (Ingame 708mm)

Next big defense spending thing hopefully

I hope this is fixed.

Bismarck’s 380mm shells are currently worse than any other at the BR; all others have 740-770mm pen ranges.

And I hope, of course, that the shell fix doesn’t come with a rate of fire nerf. I would rather have it placed at 8.7 if they considered it’s fixed firepower to be “too OP” for 8.3.

except the rework was somehow an actual nerf?
Need to check the numbers myself, but i’ve read it pulls slightly more than A/Bs, lofting harder and it has more drag. With that i have genuine doubts if its an upgrade, its a sidegrade at best, even a downgrade on medium to long ranges.
