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

its not like you can avoid this situation most of the time, you cant sit back and bvr people the entire round, youll be forced to get close eventually then youll be at a massive disadvantage

I watched the dev server after it was done and the NCTR icons showing up on the radar screen itself instead of only on the lock box is also such a nice QOL change.

also it isnt like other missiles cant bvr you as well, the mica is very good if you can get the rafale high and fast

did they finally add mfd nctr for more planes?

Idk about that, I only skipped through the dev stream (skipped over all the low tier stuff and boats).

oh nvm then, i assume those havent changed

While I am glad we got both the regular Me 210 Ca-1 and the Me 210 Ca-1 39M with the 40 mm gun and rockets, I think they should get combined into one vehicle (simply called the Me 210 Ca-1), where the regular gun loadout and the 40 mm modified gun loadout are both weapon selection options that you can choose between, like how on many Bf 109s you can switch between the nose mounted 20 mm and 30 mm gun, or on the S-199/Sakeen you can switch between gun loadouts. The bombs and rockets can be different secondary weapon options too. Other than the weaponry they are the exact same aircraft and they went by the same name, so it makes far more sense for the different weapon configurations to be options on the same plane.

Spoiler

Regular Me 210 Ca-1:

Me 210 Ca-1 39M (modified version with a 40 mm gun instead of the 7.92s and rockets instead of a bomb bay):

You should be able to change the gun configuration like this:

Should the Me 210 Ca-1s be combined into one vehicle?
  • Yes - Me 210 Ca-1 and the 40 mm version should be combined into 1 aircraft with the guns as optional modifications
  • No - Leave the Me 210 Ca-1 and the 40 mm version as two separate aircraft

Proper headliner vehicle? I could care less about that, fire and ice was all Finland yet the headliner vehicle was a BP Churchill I don’t really think that’s a big problem. The update is just all over the place

So they can sell it as a premium on release because it’s the “Top gun” plane.

I think it’s very subjective in general, different people find different vehicles more interesting/important for them

Well, he also said the EBRC Jaguar would only get two. Let’s hope that is walked back again because man two would suck. Honestly, it’d be nice if the Namer and Spike Puma got an anti-tank classification so they could carry more missiles.

Guess I’m just different given how many updates just don’t really interest me nor do the emblems/decals for the update look good

can it be 4s? I didnt find any data about its autoloader

Reload is balancing factor, besides won’t it basically be a CV90120 pre nerf? Why can’t it be 12.0 I’m genuinely curious

Being wheeled is kinda of a big disadvantage in War Thunder’s high tier

Yeah so is being slower than most MBT’s while being a light tank not really that big of a reason to need 11.7 if I’m being honest. Now if it had like a 480mm pen round as it’s bets then yeah but I don’t think it will. It should be fine at 12.0

Trying to spade the Italian av 8b rn and i gotta say i miss my radar in the tonka already. this thing updates as much as tf2… even with a hard lock the aim120 will still go for chaff (while my radar hasnt been notched yet) where i swear dl should kick in.

With only 480mm pen 11.3 would be more appropriate lol.
