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

it’s not just the Japanese tanks, basically every turret basket except those of the Abrams and the Leopard 2 act this way, hitting anything even the panels that don’t do anything other than protect the crew will disable the turret drive.
The only reason those 2 tanks act the way they do is because of the out roar about their addition back then, so Gaijin implemented them this way to make the community shut up about it then proceeded to completely forget about their own statements about the matter for everything after that

12.7 ish usual F-16A

I specified MBT for a reason.
The new Leclerc basket doesn’t take damage either.

F/A18E’s IRST pod is not functional now? Or anyone knows how to switch it on?

Haven’t we been here before ? :3

In the first day of the dec server it was a placeholder

Ok, thx.

Maybe if Chinese users make a ticket reporting that a Chinese jet has a British pilot, Gaijin will finally remember the model exists and try implementing it on some British jets instead 😄

We had one yes, but we need second reshuffle too.

Or as a premium

Kind of a weird camo for a Norwegian F-16. The only RNoAF F-16s that were ever painted like that, were ex-RNLAF F-16 Block 10s that were transferred to Norway in 2003 and re-fitted with drogue chute to be used as instructional airframes

Ex RNLAF J-242 in Norway

They never flew after being “Norwegianised” with the drogue chute. And unlike actual Norwegian Block 10s in operational use, the ex-RNLAF planes didn’t have the interception spotlight on the port side of the nose. So they are easy to spot as instructional airframes.

And 299, which was Norway’s F-16 MLU Test, Verification and Installation (TVI) “mule” aircraft that was mistakenly repainted with the F-16 “Hill” camo and oversized roundels in 1996 when it was in America being upgraded to Block 20 MLU standard alongside the Dutch, Belgian, Danish, and American TVIs. It remained that way until it was repainted in 2010

The model doesn’t have an IFF antenna on the nose, or enlarged (Block 15 onwards) stabilators. So must be one of the Ex-RNLAF Block 10s that never flew

thankfully they never added it to the challengers or ariettes (if they did they would probably need to lower their BRs again lmao)

edit: did a little bit of looking and found this image, which would imply the challenger 2 would be free from that turret basket issue

So the F-106 got a new HMD on the dev server. Currently it’s the same as DASH on the Baz M.
