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

@Smin1080p_WT will the J-15T have a placeholder cockpit? As there is literally only 3 images in which basically nothing is visible

1 of the HUD and 2 where you can barely see the panels next to the UFC

Spoiler



MIM-104B specs are final?

I don’t have the buk, only play against it, but it’s stupid easy to evade. That’s a graph of how it does against a stationary target, which is hardly relevant.

What should we expect for sweden ground, oxy said in the stream that something fun vehicle is in WIP, it will be a top vehicle or a low rank vehicle?

low from what they said

He did not mean system performance wise, but our favourite stats.


If we go by stats from last month, Buk is one of the worst earning top SPAAs, only beating Tor, CLAWS, SPYDER and Type 03.

I think it’s stupid that if they decided to go the route of the SEAD F-16, they decided to add this instead of the F-16CJ (as in a Spang one). Ideally they could have done something similar to what they did with the Blk 10 and Blk 15 where they added both at the same time, one after the other. In this case, the CJ could have been foldered with the standard C, and they could have added a block 50 or 52 PoBIT for Tier IX with all the bells and whistles. (Preferably block 50 cause the 52 is just straight worse, both irl and as it seems right now in the game. If they wanted to add a F100-PW-229 F-16 it should have been a 42.)

Although, what it REALLY should have been this update was an F-15E Suite VI with the new radar and EPAWSS, then save the SEAD 16s for the inevitable SEAD update in June.

gaijin refuses to add SLERA to the namers and merkavas,

Looks like the NERA is not ready. But “ready” NATO is never fully ready as we have experienced grom Chally 2

They noticed that the Namers were a tad too heavy so they made the Eitan a bit lighter in order to reconsolidate with the israeli player base obviously 😝

that stat is copied from the new stryker, so wip
eitan irl is 30-35 tons, with the turret it weighs more

but again, just like the spyder, merkavas, namers, bardelas, they will butcher it so bad because why not?

I know it’s Israeli and thus it’ll be butchered beyond believe, but I’m still excited for this.

I really need a lot of SL for this update lol.

Tbf the namer can go up to 80 tons, the eitan in its max protection loadout can go to 50 as well, but thats a site your teacher tells you to not reference from

well merkava is 79 tons fully loaded for war without underbelly and some other kits,
namer is less, is not 80 tons.
however it is funny to see the weight situation in wt:
gaijin says the merkava is 60 tons.
gaijin adds the namer (a merkava without a turret, with improved hull armor)
gaijin says the namer and merkava weigh the same, but the protection and mobility on the namer is so much worse ingame.
so whats all of that weight? that is just impossible physically.

Israel will never have proper armor in War Thunder.

They clearly coat their MBTs in rubber-level “composite screens” that get defeated by 1980s rounds.

/s.
