I wanted to report that, but i didn’t trust the source alone, as I’ve seen 42/43/45 tons stated elsewhere, all with about the same credibility. wanted to see if i could find a proper source for it
my current belief is that it would be 43 ton for in game, but there’s a lot of conflicting numbers so i haven’t reported it
I would argue that that source may be talking about the Braveheart, it lists the gun caliber as 39 OR 52, which would include the Braveheart and take into account the weight of the larger gun and other changes.
The source I used only states the 39 caliber gun, so it excludes the Braveheart and must be the weight of the variant ingame which has the 39 caliber gun.
I’m also not sure if Gunner counts as a primary source, is that from the British Army or Vickers themselves?
Not sure, i think in MOD it was said it was Primary, but I could be misremembering
Regardless this is a primary source, (from the army themselves, just web archived)
If i’m to continue discussing this it’d have to be tomorrow at some point, I’ve got to get some other stuff done that I’ve already put off a bit too long
That source does state the top speed at 32mph which also contradicts our other primary sources from Vickers, I personally would take the direct manufacturers technical data instead, anyway you’re right we should move this to the dedicated thread when you’re free
Based on what I’ve heard, kinda.
The current seeker delay is only described for ejector launched AMRAAMs.
Anyways, here’s a post from yourself that has the source they seem to have used.
I’m seriously tired of the direction War Thunder is going.
First you added the Sukhoi Su-30SM2 without giving other nations a proper equivalent counterpart. That alone already tilted top-tier air battles. Then you followed it up with the Pantsir — again, with nothing comparable available in other tech trees. How is this supposed to be balanced?
It feels like every major update hands Russia another top-tier system that outperforms everything else, while other nations are left waiting for something that can even compete. This isn’t asymmetrical design — it’s just stacking advantages on one side.
Players grind for months or spend real money to reach top tier, only to be constantly outclassed by vehicles that have no equal elsewhere. That doesn’t create competition. It creates frustration and pushes people away.
At this point, whether intentional or not, it looks like blatant favoritism. If you’re going to introduce cutting-edge systems like the Su-30SM2 and Pantsir, then introduce proper counterparts at the same time. Stop releasing one-s
i get that the eurofighter can be considered a counter part but as a US main it sucks that it feels like we are always an update behind everyone. ever since the first f18’s we added it has been that way
