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

why not the marder 1a5a1 with Gucci A/C.

Problem is these “blind and deaf” people would die to an aim120A in the same way, or litterally anything else at that BR.

Aim120D should have gotten a reduced seaker FOV like the mica

hey smin,It looks like I’m lost. Where can I find this feature? There doesn’t seem to be anything like tank aiming interface settings in the options.

Hmm

Oh, thank you, so it’s in the cockpit. I’ll give it a try.

So… we got a Ariete nerf? Seriously?..
Before update:

After update:

Literally -80mm of armor, and added new internal models to make it easier to destroy the tank.
And I completely forgot, they reduced the anti-splinter pads…

For such a big piece of armor compared to before you gain just a little ( in the image before and after ):

Spoiler


For KE you gain 50mm protection and go from 252mm to 301mm:

Same for CE protection, you go from 291mm to 346mm:

The turret is basically the same and the WAR kit is still made of heavy air.
The X-ray is also still displying the old info so I hope they just forgot them after the second day and never updated them to some extent.

The only thing they gained is an updated model with way more cheances to get disabled by random shots in the modules as they still have no armor.

Oh, that’s disappointing…

If at least they had fixed WAR so it was 580-ish mm KE in total… but apparently those 6 tons of cheek armor are made of air.

It seems I misunderstood. I thought gaijin added aiming simulator customization features like ground vehicles, allowing the plane’s pod view to be as realistic as the footage shown in war documentaries.

gaijin have a target peotection level so they might have increased the NERA KE resistance to offset the thinner plate but id need to see the datamine post.

edit: compared the two versions of the PSO myself and there was no change to the NERA protection that i saw

it literally says added MFD page, just like they added maverick camera, litening symbology MFDs in previous updates

What makes me think that those walues are not updated is that you gain exactly 50mm of armor for both KE and CE protection.

A composite screen should give more protection for CE projectiles and the change should be more on that side, not a 1:1 increase.

The only thing that can give that is another steel plate, which is what we have in the new model compared to the old one as two plates press on the composite screen then we have air and the third big one.

We’ll have to see, right now it feels rushed and unfinished.

They also mentioned that armor gained volumetric on most angles which makes me question whether it actually increased its protection or not.

Well, see you all in the thread(s) for the next update fellas, had a good time in this one.

(We barely missed making it a 4-parter, sadge)
