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

Inside it’s a J-10C, outside it’s a Su-33 – Ctrl+V

It’s really rather dubious whether the J-15T is the star aircraft this time, isn’t it? lol

yeah lets hope they could fix before release :))

It would help with short range engagements with aircraft/helis that the HVM just cant do

There is reports of them taking down helicopters in ukraine

If wasnt by the radar and the engine,it wouldnt been close to the T at all

Yeah that too.

I mean that is essentially what the J-15t, copy paste su-33.
But with J-11d internals instead of su-27 internals.

Mr Smin, I apologise for bugging you but given it would effect if I spend money I wanted to ask about the GBT 155

Currently, its rate of fire is… shall we say very poor for its BR and comparisons with everything else within its class, I feel thats fair to say?

I made a thread about it in the dev, but I wanted to know if its current rate of fire is considered “relatively finalised” by gaijin or if its a simple placeholder.

Spoiler

GBT 155 reload speed too slow?

Copying over from there, the rate of fire of the SPGs within its BR range

bkan - 3.2 seconds autoloading. br 6.7 (though limited angles to fire, fair)
auf1 - 7.5 autoloading. br 7.0
type 99 - 7.5 autoloading, br 7.3
2S19M2 - 6 seconds autoloading, BR 7.3
2s19M1 - 7.5 seconds autoloading, BR 7.0
GBT 155 - 13 seconds non autoloading stock ready rack, 18 seconds non autoloading (so can be worse as crew die…) BR 7.0

Currently its stock, though slightly improved ace crew rates of fire are massively behind that of well, any other SPG in its BR zone, while the rest are all autoloading and thus, dont get slower RoF as crew get knocked out. Even with the vickers document rates of fire it would still, arguably, be 1 of the low end SPGs for this stuff though have a relatively even readyrack capability but at least not be risking having enemy SPGs being able to fire as much as 3 rounds for every 1 it fires.

I didnt add AS 90 as its new and I assume potentially subject to change also.

So I ask again, is its rate of fire currently placeholder and if so, will we see it change soon/can you say what to? As I love this tank irl and it is the 2nd most wanted SPG for me after the Abbot, I really would love to preorder it but at its current stats, I would only consider buying it during a sale and am still unsure.

Can someone tell me if the M1296 Dragoon has its airburst munitions, LWS/LRF, spall liners, IRST tracking, and if it’s resistant to 14.5mm all around please?

I still don’t get why the values and features displayed on the statcards aren’t linked to their respective variables in the code. Just display the values and features that are used instead of having to maintain both separately and do double the work while having double the source of errors…

No cannon on Grippen D??? What the heck?

It was removed to make way for more internal fuel iirc.

This was entirely expected

Well dang that sucks. And there isnt any sort of gun pod as a possibility that can be added?

dont think so

Rip, another Foxbat moment.

So Golden Eagle also get 120Ds for some reason. And 18E aswell

Airburst No
LWS No
LRF Yes
Spall liners No
Tracking No
Resistant to 14.5mm seems to be yes

Also,some of the statcard changes are questionable. Now i dont know what i have without opening secondary weapons

Well, in their current condition they’re just AIM-120C-5s with zero-drift IOG and and a little longer lifetime with 150s instead of 120s (no changes in the other parameters). So they could effectively replace the C5s with Ds and it wouldn’t matter at all currently (if they don’t change other things later down the line).
