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

I consider the BUK one of the best top tier sams, 1550 Meter per second in speed and 30G’S of pull is insane especially for long distance targets

@Smin1080p_WT

sources to support it,

thats the issue, its a game convention thing due to the lack of proper torque converter modelling

as opposed to the standard doubling of gears due to Torque Converters, the Pattons (and related vehicles automotively) have their forward gears tripled

I was asking to see if the same special rule could be made for the M41 Series of hulls, as they have the same design philosophy in their transmissions (low number of gears, very high stall ratio torque converter)

if it would be possible it would do wonders for M41 /42 / 44 / 64 mobility

or is this behaviour incorrect for the Pattons and should be reported?

I mean doesnt matter if CAMM can see a hovering heli if it takes all of its missiles and it still misses (still waiting on the rotors to actually generate RCS)

@magach

This is not the Eitan’s turret, it means nothing for the vehicle in question

[magach]

why do you say that?

[themadseventeen]

@Smugspite

(still waiting on the rotors to actually generate RCS)

still waiting on cas to be removed

[TheChosenMonolit]

@themadseventeen

still waiting on cas to be removed

What would be the point of most SPAA’s then?

[Smugspite]

I mean last time I played the new sams were pretty good at killing planes so eh?

[themadseventeen]

I don’t know and I don’t care to be honest

[TheChosenMonolit]

??😭

[Kaas_NL4]

Why? as a anti air you can make alot of rp from just shooting down planes

[magach]

[Macron-Spokesman]

@Smugspite I was mocking BVVD’s claim of the Buk being the worst SPAA, thought that was a little obvious.

[themadseventeen]

I want to play tanks for tanks. not dodge air to ground missiles nor shoot at planes with SAM systems

[Smugspite]

didnt watch the dev stream so no lol

[TheChosenMonolit]

so with your logic you want SPAA’s removed?

[Kaas_NL4]

Good, i waisted my time watching it

[magach]

i thought you were serious, whoops
i hope someone in that company will stand up and say “folk what are we doing?”

@Smin1080p_WT

All missile performance in game is based on source material. Nothing is “buffed” or “nerfed” on the whims of balance. Its a case of source material showing clearly something can do X or Y.

Completely false, as the entirety of the MANPADS missile class is balanced off of the 9M39 Igla.
The reports below for just the Stinger have been “Accepted” for TWO years and have never been implemented.

20+G maneuverability: Community Bug Reporting System
Lacking lock range: Community Bug Reporting System
Lacking UV mode: Community Bug Reporting System

And these are just reports for the Stinger that I could find in 5 minutes.

For other MANPADS systems, open sources indicate a higher overload such as 18, 20 and even 25g in the case of the Mistral 1 MANPADS. However, these MANPADS systems have only slight differences in the area of aerodynamic surfaces compared to the 9M39, so a multiple increase in average achievable overload compared to the 9M39 cannot be expected. We believe that the slightly higher overload of other MANPADS systems is mainly due to the slightly higher maximum speed of the missiles in comparison with the 9M39 MANPADS missile. Therefore, we assume that for the MANPADS FN-6, FIM-92 and Mistral, the documents indicate the peak overload achieved at the moment when the rudders are in the maneuver plane. With this assumption, the average available overload for the half-cycle of rotation of these MANPADS will be 63% of the peak and will be consistent with the data on the available overload of the 9M39 MANPADS.
