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

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?

Do you mean the pre order?

We don’t know when we get the ability to pre-order the F-2.

If you mean when it comes to the game, it is going to be when the next update releases

In my personal option I wouldn’t get it as you can put a talisman on the FCU and get better results, I can grind around 100K RP in ten matches with that thing.

You won’t get the research efficiency for the lower ranks

100k rp don’t help you if you lose 90% of it

Why would you grind lower ranks with the top end premium ?
But between rank 6 and 8 the FCU is the better choice

You need to get to the higher ranks somehow, don’t you?
Unless they changed it and I can start a tech tree in rank 5

Well yes but there are other premiums to get than playing the F-2A as at that point why grind the tree ?
You’re already playing the top end of the line aircraft just dumb down abit for being a premium.

I hadnt seen that pic, wonder if they were using SSO teams to provide guidance to the system

that range is not so important, the new SPAAs we are getting have a effective range of around 10km to high mobility planes. MICA NG is very similar to DERBY ER, so it will be fine.
meanwhile SAMP/T using ASTER will be too powerful, though it writes 30km range but it’s for high mobility targets, it’s a larger missile than current top even without the booster. (310kg in total)
