SURELY thats a mistake

Seems legit
from those 3 the only one affected is the leclerc, as the fuel tanks on the front of the abrams and merkava does not do damage when they detonate… the most affected are by far the ones that have unprotected fuel tanks in the front, aka all leclerc, type 10, all russian and chinese tanks

New surface to air missile complexes:
MIM-23 Hawk
S-75M
MIM-104 Patriot
S-300PS
New MLRS’
New tactical ballistic missile launchers
New cruise missile launcher
M983 HEMTT
The only thing that seems to still be missing from Oliviia 's leaklist is the X/Kh-55.

swedish strv122 tech implemented into light tanks
f4f and ahrriers aren named, can we shot as many as we want?
The Leclerc “SHOULD” have about ~700mm of KE protection in the front, with the drivers port being the only weak point.
Then the fuel tank “SHOULD” be giving extra survivability for the lower plate, but Gaijin thinks an exposed fuel tank to the crew compartment is normal. There’s still no titanium modelled last I checked either.
The Type 10 has nano crystal steel to reduce it’s weight, but Gaining modelled it as if it’s just normal steel and gave it armor protection from there.
It’s mostly just Gaijin being extremely slow and lazy with researching and modeling, with asking for documents being used as an excuse to keep putting it off. Because they can’t model weight correctly to save their lives and assume it’s all just dead weight.

No idea. Might be radar related. See oshidas latest datamine i think it mentions a lot of radars with the max target thing. Not sure.
And you can fire as many missiles as you have, can only give course correction from the mother ship to the last number of missiles.
Since we already recieved confirmation from Smin that BOZ dispesers on the tornados will be modelled correctly (1000+ chaff total) with the addition of seperate flare/chaff keybinds;
Will we expect to see similar buffs/nerfs to other dispesners that were previously incorrectly modelled like that?
Examples:
- Mirage 2000 family recieving a few hundred more Chaff due to the “Spirale” dispenser
- Mirage 4000 recieving a similar buff due to the electromechanical chaff dispenser in its countermeasure pods
- ALE-40 (F-4E/K/M, F-5A/C, Jaguar GR.1, F-104s, etc.) recieving a flare/chaff load balance nerf (the flare cartridges were considerably bigger; it should have a 1/4 flare/chaff balance; i.e on the F-4E, it can have 30 flares in a “all flares” loadout, or 120 chaff in a “all chaff” loadout)
- LAU-138 (F-14B) becoming chaff only, with a total loadout of 640 chaff and 60 flares (BOL-IR was not used on Tomcats until the F-14D)

A big argument against the addition of the Python 4 was that it was a long range maneuverable IR missile that didn’t have to deal with multipath.
But now that there’s a significant reduction of multipath across the board, should there be a revisit to the addition of Python 4?

Hopefully if the Python 4 gets added they properly do the AAM-3

Perhaps the British tree should be dissolved into 3 parts.
One part for Italy, one for Germany and one for France.
;)
There might not be as much of a “need” for AAM-3 to be fixed for F-15Js since it has access to amraam and can remain competitive. However for the Israeli F-16, there’s a bit more of a need there for a better IR missile since its BVR missile, the Derby, likes to go for low-orbital satellites.

Guessing it was supposed to be a 50mm plate but someone snuck in another 0
Rather than buffs for a select few planes, I’m far more curious about something else: can we get individual countermeasure dispensing for ALL planes with the upcoming countermeasure rework? A difference between 500 and 1000 flares is basically inconsequential since that’s the territory of diminishing returns, but having “60” countermeasures and only a mere 30 actual pops because each time you press the flare/chaff button the dispensers fire in pairs is a pretty massive hindrance for a lot of planes, most of which also face IRCCM missiles.
That is coming. It is the feature that’s allowing the BOZ pods to have correct chaff counts.
