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

Italy currnetly has one of the joint best tanks in game with the Leopard 2A7HU.

Britain already has every major modification of Challenger baring some of the CR.3 upgrades into production.

We dont artificially buff tanks to bring them in line. Only reload is a balancing mechanism.

They also said something about the Soviets, and only other ones I heard was France and Italy.

Tech tree placement in matches from my understanding is purely popularity based.
USA and USSR are the most popular, thus will almost never get into matches together.
If Sweden and USA swapped popularity, USA would be on the Soviet team more often.

but Challengers’ reload is bad than others now(i mean even m1a2 can shut 17rounds in 5s reload,but challengers is still 4 round 5s reload…)it’s really balance?

Forwarded for consideration.

2A7HU is one of the best tanks in game and then the Centaros work well with the the lineup and the Gripen is also useable for CAS

I dont think giving the CR2 realistic reload rate and armour upgrades would be an “artificial buff”

The 4 round ready rack of the Challenger 2 is not only bad for balance, but also unrealistic, there are 20+ charges/projectiles directly below/behind the loader.

Imo the 2A7HU is THE best tank in the game,
Same armor as the German one
.50cal, and better gun and round
compared to the 122B+,
armor isn’t far off but wayyyyyy better thermals

Smin do you happen to have any info regarding which Derby version the devs are planning for the Spyder on release?

Will it be stuck with the (rather subpar) Derby-SR or are the devs planning Derby-ER (which is more in line with the SLM and Pantsir)?

(Sorry for asking this multiple times. I really want to be excited for the Spyder, but the Derby-SR are letting it down massively)

The Challenger 2’s still don’t have their hull/lfp spall liners, its been literally years.

Hello @Smin1080p_WT i don’t like to ping much, but I was wondering if any new version of the MiG-29 is planned for the future ? (Except the Sniper)

Thanks a lot, have a great day.

Nothing to speak of right now. Not for this major for certain.

But its always possible.

You forget original F-100 wild weasel :(, and AGM-78 standard ARM

Challenger 2:
Worst mobility at top tier
Worst round at top tier
Average reload, Worst (or among them) sustained fire rate at top tier
Second worst armour profile at top tier- It’s better than the Ariete in that sense
Worst ammo layout at top tier (Charge bins?)
Overall, worst top tier tank (Ariete is at least a good glass cannon- DM53 on a 5s reload is stupid good), just use something else
They’re balancing the players at this point…

The US can also get the AARGM (AGM-88E), which is US Navy improved version with a MMW terminal seeker. There is also the USAF HCSM upgrade (AGM-88F) which uses GPS guidance. Since there is stuff like ASM-3 on this list, there is also the AARGM-ER (AGM-88G) which is both USN and USAF

In the future we could also see SiAW

except the fact there is pretty good evidence that the ready rack for both the challenger 1 and 2 should be more then 4 rounds, if that doesnt work then they could decrease the reload to 4.5 or even 4 seconds, the challenger 3TD also needs its reload dropped from 6.7 to 5 seconds

if the eft were to get any ARM this is the one that its been shown with so UK, Italy and Germany would probably all get it as well
