I definitely noticed the lack of airburst, hopefully just a dev server thing.

they even said that on the english stream

Here’s to hoping, however there are only 2 other tanks (as far as I’m aware, and that have the Mk44 Bushmaster) that have the airburst round, and they are both in the Japanese TT. None of the Namers have it, the VBCI doesn’t have it, the Swedish thing doesn’t have it. I don’t know if there is something I’m missing, hell, the Mk44 can even use the same rounds the A-10 does.

I noticed this as well. Seems odd to me. These vehicles should all be getting it.

The 30mms on Sweden have air burst they can use, they’ve been accepted since they were added as the FINs have them in service. Same with the MK.IV [E] it also lacks its airburst ammo which is also accepted since it was added.

Gaijin is pretty picky given the ifvs with no air tracking don’t get any airburst ammo lmao

Iirc the original CV9030 fin was denied it’s ammo for balance reasons. The MK.IV has yet to get any if it’s historical adjustments from ammo amount, correct ammo, armor weight, ect ect.

Standard snail stuff

Do we know if the Dev opened up yet? I just tried and got the auth fail but wanted to ask and make sure it wasn’t just me

Monday it’ll open

oh wow, i wonder why no weekend like usual

It’s a rushed update everything is late and it was fairly evident they waited till last minute on stream Oxy even said the devs had been working all night to Finish the AS-90 model. Sweden for the 3rd update in a row got a late vehicle though at least they got more than one thing. French got pretty shafted. All in all solid update if you’re a Russia or Italian main.

Russia and USA mostly. some UK and some JP, but mostly the two big ones

i did notice the stat cards for the new aim120 is basically a copy pasta 120c5 which isn’t surprising sadly

Eh even the US is pretty bare bones, boat is neat, dragoon is nice but no air burst is unfortunate and the F-16 looks mid due to compression.

I’m iffy on them

Yeah, VBCI has air tracking but no airburst, something doesn’t make sense about that. And given that the turret of the Dragoon will be the same as the VBCI, it too will have air tracking (plus LWS). However, there was no modification for LWS/LRF, so I think it’s just missing at the moment. The spall liners though, that’s just blatant …. The M1128 has had a report open for spall liners for 2 years, and the Dragoon uses the same chassis.

same, basically a DOA plane with a new missile which is only 30s more track time. big whoop.

Maybe a bad opinion but any IFV without anti air ammo or tracking is trash and needs to get something to deal with drones.

I’m tired of gaijin ignoring actual equipment for sake of artificial differences to inspire intrigue.

Was on English too. Will also be able to zoom in on a section of the radar as well.

Time for me to introduce you to the Stormer hvm, an SPAA that can’t deal with them either 🤣

(And that could be fixed)

For me, it’s really just giving a vehicle its whole suite of available options. I really hate when Gaijin shows a vehicle in an incomplete state, they have a past of adding things in absolutely horrendous states, so it does not fill me with confidence. And it doesn’t make sense because suggestions for these vehicles already exist, which does pretty much all of the work (on the research side of things) for Gaijin.
