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

Seems we are at the end game for this update, at least we don’t have to wait long for the next update lol

Hitting targets behind cover/outside of the guns range (above 4 km) which maybe were discovered by other means (for example scout drones, satellites, other ground troops, allied aircraft, etc.)?
AFAIK the most ATGMs also have two modes (lofted and direct) to hit either tanks/vehicles from above or helicopters directly, so they actually can act as a kind of SAM against fixed wing aircraft.

Yeah seems like it, other than the usual loadout changes and bug fixes (wishful thinking I know) this seems to be it for the update.

I hope they fix JHMCS 2 and targo 2 hmd and add some nice featurs Community Bug Reporting System

Yeah which makes the 11th more likely to be the update day I don’t see them doing a cheeky launch tomorrow

Yeah I’m guessing the 11th as well, definitely won’t be this week as the dev server is going until the 7th. Gutted personally, I’m on holiday until the 14th so I have to wait a few more days to get my precious Hawk.

But also if it does drop on the 11th I wonder if they will do anything for Remembrance Day alongside the update release. Last year we didn’t even get a decal but I am hopeful for something. (Very big cope but maybe re-run the WW1 event with some more vehicles to keep like the planes seeing as “You will get to play these in the upcoming Aces of Thunder soon” still hasn’t happened yet.)

Well it’s always on a farm day for me so I’ll props be too tired to play on the day, especially now winter feeds are setting in

Speak of the devil mine is patching from .34 right now.

Mines just updated to .35. Quite a small download so shouldn’t be much changed.

Most likely it will be used as a filler between the T-80U and T-80BVM

Even if it is added, it will have the same disadvantages as other Soviet tanks, the only advantages being slightly better turret armor and a lower chance of ammunition detonation.

I think the dev server might be final actually. It’s closing in less then two days anyway.

Remember we’ve been promised at least one more exciting devblog update on checks notes naval repair mechanics… :)

Oh i am looking forward to that one, i get the feeling its gonna become rather heated

why is the missile waay up in the air?

Spoiler

So there’s space for the guy to aim it. It’s operated like the Milan’s on the Warrior or Marder, where the ATGM operator has to get out to use it, but with the BTR-82 there’s not really a good hatch for the commander or somebody to poke out, so they just popped it on top

now I wonder if that guy will be Modelled

Im imagining him just getting out of the tank and standing there anytime the thing stops

They should have modelled the crew member standing on the outside so he can easily be mg’ed as would be accurate. Instead, the BTR will be able to operate the ATGM using its sights with almost total impunity.

probably not, it’s not modelled on the Warrior, Ratel-20, or Marders :shrug:

Marder example
