Please read the above post. Also visually looking the same is not a solid source to go from. It doesnt mean there are no internal changes possible.

Thats great and all but the report that was used for the 50g overload was not refering to the SLS, it was refering to the air launched IRIS-T, hopefully the new report thats going to be made will be looked at by more than 1 bug report manager.
And if the above is to be believed, the SLS is the air launched version. Hence the conflict and lack of clarity.
Thats precisely what Godvana and AblativeKitten are proposing. That they are the same and thus no differences between the two.

sorry to ask again but is there any conformation that Italy the UK and France will get SPAA next patch? because so far the only thing we have is that the CM post said everyone will get SPAA this year and BVVD mentioning that the ones that didn’t get SPAA this patch will get them sometime this year, which doesn’t spark confidence

Beyond what BVV has already said we dont have any new news right now.
wahoo, there is an actual chance that everyone else is left to rot till December great, im sure these nations will get some kind of buff to help out with this fact right?
you are aware that we will get 2 patches more after this one has dropped?
aka. there are 5 Patches in total in 1 Year
Ok well have to wait and see what the devs believe then, i wont press further.
oh i know gaijin will probably leave them with no kind of buff, really looking forward to the top tier italy and uk experience for the next 2 to hell maybe 6 months of having terrible tanks, terrible spaa and only SAL weapons with 7km effective range to fight all of these new SPAA
im pointing out that saying sometime this year could very well mean the December update and with how long of a gap there was between the pantsir and now I can fully see no SPAA for these nations till December, hell im calling it now they will come with the Patriot and S-300
Im not even sure what the question is anymore.
with out a doubt Italy and the UK are some of the worst tree at top tier and them not getting any new SPAA this update, and the fact the SPAA mainly hard counters their CAS (SAL vs everyone else getting IR FnF weapons) is only gonna make that more apparent, are there gonna be any buffs at all to their top tier tanks to try and bring them inline with other nations top tier tanks?

There are 2 scenarios that will likely happen:
- SLM and Pantsir remain as good as they are, Slamraam&Spyder&CS/SA5 remain mediocre =
People will just queue Russia and Germany together and we will get a sort of continuation of the current Russia+Germany+Sweden curbstomp meta.
Germany would legit be the only winner this update in this scenario.
- SLM and Pantsir remain as good as they are, Slamraam&Spyder&CS/SA5 also get significanrly buffed =
Still not ideal, but this should at least create enough pressure from both teams to make it so that flying is discouraged and CAS should be easily dealt with.
No specific nations win significantly, but at least people who like playing tanks win.

which is why im suggesting buffs to italy and the UK as right now they have some of the worst tanks at top tier the only nation in a similar boat being isreal from what I have heard.
the thing is even in both of these scenarios nations like france, america, japan still have really good CAS that will be able to actually fight these SPAA, italy and the UK are stuck with SAL weapons with an effective range of 7km an absolute max of 12km and with in 7km you are pretty much dead to any of the new SPAA baring maybe the CS/SA5

The top tier matchmaker is also another big overlook by many people. The fact that Germany, Russia, and Sweden usually match together needs to be addressed.

Italy literally has one of the highest winrates at top tier tho

I mean Italy has a top 5 MBT in the form of the 2A7HU (or top 1 if you count all the 2A7s/Strv 122s as 1 tank).
I would be more than fine with buffing the Challenger 2 reload to a 5 second overall (so removing the reload penalty after the ready rack is emptied), but even the challenger 2s will have a better time if most of the new spaas are good.
Most people playing thie game are not very good and pretty predictable anyway, which makes ground RB manage able outside of cas.
