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

Hello

Firstly it needs to be re-reported and split anyway as its two seprate issues (G overload and lock distance).

Secondly this source just confirms the missiles are interchangeable with the listed systems. Not that there are no variants of the missile or that there are no differences between them. Simply they are cross compatible.

oh, neat I just assumed it was a max of 7 since the Gr1s didnt have the 2 additional AAM pylons of the Gr4

I’m not sure how you can get that interpretation. The first sentence is “IRIS-T SLS uses the original IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missiles”

IRIS-T SLS is just the system by which air-launched IRIS-T are launched from the ground. They are the same missile.

With respect Smin, it really doesn’t. The document explicitly says “IRIS-T SLS uses the original IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missiles.”
The same document refers the launcher/system as IRIS-T SLS, but not the missile, which is referred to as just the IRIS-T missile. It’s rather explicit to be completely honest.
“The IRIS-T SLS short-range surface-launched air defence missile system…”
“…IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missiles. IRIS-T can be…”
“More than 4000 IRIS-T missiles…”

We can try with that and see what the developers believe. Its then going to be a case of some sources placing 50 vs 60g however for the SLS. So it will be down to their discretion. Other sources have specifically defined them as different variants.

Please split the report up, then we can pass them for consideration.

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?
