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

We got r77-1
We got 120c-5 (even for ef2k wth?)
I think we should get derby er as well

The Typhoon has the most underperforming radar at top tier. It needs something to keep up.

Not sure on the 17 as the LMUR requires additional antenna to guide it.

Yes LMUR isnt fully fire and forget, for stationary targets…yes for moving targets the gunner manually guides it.

The biggest difference is the range. I think Gaijin just hates the Israel tree.

like any other modern LOAL missiles, but ok with just FNF, though a waste of it’s range, same for SPIKE NLOS in AH-64E.

Actually an Mi-8/17 variant was the first helicopter to use it (Mil Mi-8MNP-2)

Ok, I think I’ve got it this time

Report is live:

RAH-66 Comanche missing RWR, ALQ-211(V)3

“ALQ-211 is the name for the complete self-protection system, not an individual RWR.”

“SIRFC consists of two required sub-systems: the Advanced Threat Radar Jammer (ATRJ) and the Advanced Threat Radar Warning Receiver (ATRWR)"


"From this point on, when the name SIRFC is used, it will refer specifically to ATRJ and ATRWR, which are major sub-systems under this program’s development .”

any update about mig29 sniper?

We ll a radar fix would have been nice, instead of more power creep.

I personally dislike that the EF gets the C-5 (presuming it will changed again and gets more range).

I think we all saw what happened with the Mig29 after they gave it a better missile (it shouldn’t have)

Spyder is currently extremely WiP on dev server.

Virtually nothing about it is finished. It’s just a husk of a vehicle with placeholder everything.

“Type81c”, which uses an IRIS model, is presumably a placeholder for Python 5

“Derby”, which also uses an IRIS model, is presumably a placeholder for SR or ER, we still don’t know which, but given SLM is getting a 40km missile, there’s no reason not to add ER which is also 40km.

And this is why players shouldn’t take war thunder as a historical game as this is a very clear stunt of gaijin do what they want as it’s their own game

Because the EF gets the C-5?

Iirc the EF used the C-5

Then them getting the C-5 shouldn’t be an issue then

Now that major nations have improved their air defense systems, is there a chance we’ll see the SAMP/T in the French and Italian trees?

maybe MICA VL with MICA NG? more similar to current system and also both used by FR and IT

I like the idea. Maybe we’ll see with time.

SAMP/T would probably be a bit much, but france could get MICA VL which would be perfectly fine. It only has a 20-20KM range.

The issue is the power creep

Instead of fixing the radar problems (that every top tier mechanical radar has currently) they just give the EF the C-5 and call it a day.

The last time something similar happend was with the Mig29 and then it’s flight model got nerfed into the ground.

So if the EF starts to over perform they might just nerf the FM

Yes, hoping they actually give us 20-25km and don’t leave this option only to the pantsir…
The biggest thing will also be to revise the maps with larger battlefields. I don’t see how spawning a vehicle on a small map will change anything if it gets blown up by a helicopter or by our friends who like to rush the spawn.

Any infos on when we’ll be getting the f2a ADTW?
