Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Yep, also CR1s

MegaHyped - would this include the FV4030 as well ?

Hope we get a red arrows camouflage for the hawk.

This is very sweet, very sweet! A big improvement for a large MBT family that needed it.

I am also just now learning about this. Unit conversion can get messy!

Big and widespread internet misconception. Since War Thunder is basically a digital online library, I hope it will now help clear it out! Just like the whole “TiGeR iI pOrScHe” thing.

After testing the Challengers on the dev server, they feel a LOT better. They feel more comparable to other high tier MBTs in terms of speed now, rather than being extremely sluggish. Their top speed is still not great, but the acceleration and low speed turning are much improved.

The Khalid is also now an absolute speed demon.

Along side this, the Scimitar and Striker have gone from having basically no neutral steering ability to being able to neutral steer extremely well.

@Smin1080p_WT

Did something change then?

Im not sure what you mean?

Its a premium not an SQV on the dev server

Because its not yet ready and hasn’t been configured. It has no camo textures, unfinished loadouts and the wrong economic configuration.

No-one answered so: Yes, Also the Khalid and FV4030… Which’ll be fun

They still usually come as the correct type. Like the F-35 was an SQV with none of those said features.

Bevause it was in a more complete state. Mosquito was only just finished. Chanages are being uploaded as they happen. Its not the first time configurations like this have happened.

Do we have ingame uhh sub hunters? Destroyer?

Hey @Smin1080p_WT

Very cool there are more helicopter with maybe LDIRCM and Fnf missiles coming next update. But are the devs aware that it’s still broken and very difficult to impossible to counter said Helicopters?

I’ve made a bug report back when the mi28nm got its LDIRCM. and the devs responded that it wasn’t really implemented correctly or realistic. (being able to counter multiple missiles at the time while only having 1 laser, or that the mi28nm can counter missiles from the front or above while it’s laser is on the bottom of its belly? (Aka laser is going straight through the heli itself???)

And now that many top tier matches end with a onslaught of helicopters that have almost no counter play I was wondering if the devs have made any progress in this for balance sake?

Hey. Yes the report has already been forwarded and the devs are aware. If there is an update to provide, we will do so on the report.
