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

Naah I don’ have Russian planes, hahah.

I only have Top Tier Frnce and U.S for now. About to unlock EF AESA on Germany, so another CS I’ll have available (I don’t count the normal EF and its Brimstones as viable, hahah. No fnf=no good to me.)

Maybe I’ll get SU-30SM2 during the May sale, though!

Will the f-15e recive the agm84

Finnish F-18s are not capable of using air-to-surface missiles

Snail, pls add it to the other F/A-18C Late’s too, thanks

Has anyone had a chance to look at the agm-84 stat card and performance? It should be the longest ranged/best cruise missile in-game

Thanks a ton. Looks like range is a little low, and KE pen is underperforming.

Not holding my breath. They are yet to add the wingtip tanks from the NF-5A, to other F-5A/Cs

There’s also been a few ground round changes:

Centauro II, RGO, and 120 have lost their HE-VT shell, instead getting a regular HE shell with 4 kilos of TNT
Leclercs also get that HE round
VT-4 now has stock APFSDS in accordance with it moving up in Rank

last time I asked the answers were ‘Nothing relevant to this major for a new line’ and ‘Nothing to speak of currently’
and given how all the dutch additions (afaik) to WTM are missile boats, I’d say it’s a very low priority

Spoiler

even if there is quite a bit of copy pasta(ish) material already in the PC game

Oh, seems the Scimi has gotten volumetric armour on the turret. So that’ll be fun against autocannons.

And the KV-1 ZiS has also gotten volumetric.

Oh boy…

So they finally did something about the 35mm SPAA (specifically the 35 KDA): They nerfed its firing accuracy by 15%…

I don’t see how this is supposed to help counter their dominance as anti-tank weaponry. Most of that is CQC so nerfing the accuracy won’t do anything in that regard, and even against tanks 1-1.5km away the RPM is so high that it’ll just delay the inevitable.

On the contrary this is actively making them worse as SPAA, so W for CAS around 8.3-9.0 ig? (CAS wasn’t broken enough already, but you know)

funny thing is since its IR it means you cant use GNSS (unless gaijin has changed that finally) so the range means literally nothing lol

well, it could be useful in the future

I hope they buff AI naval target destruction rewards as well as add more targets, and maybe tweak what counts as a kill to help antiship missiles.
