Oh no, @Smin1080p_WT we have a Polish boy in our tree, that’s another one to note.

Welp thats soul crushing… guess i need to finish translating stuff and putting up its numerous bug reports lol.

Thanks btw

Mig-35 should come soon too, it’s getting more and more doa. F-16s block 70 can also come, but they’re not needed atm

De vblog from WT Mobile:

Like the other ship this update, this frigate did/does not have any CIWS fitted.

Instead, it has THE gun placement ever:

Yeah, 8.3 will be fine.

It’s like Christmas for me. Falcon has been my most played vehicle this year. Didn’t need any buffs, but I certainly won’t say no to them.

If it also get’s the faster replenishment speed (for the autoloader) that was reported it would be so peak. It would probably become my second favorite 8.3 tank in game, I am so excited for the update to release.

The aim is bringing minor nations up to spec, not more endless powercreep slop, major nations can wait a patch to get AESAs

This one is not the full Polish livery in service. Just the base aircraft, so wont be changed.

The XIVe was a separate case as this was a spesific aircraft and spesific identity.

All of the changes within the update can be found in the changelog: The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Tusk Force”! — 17.09.2025 - #2

The same approach to tanks with modern armour is used. 2 Valid secondary sources are viable for consideration. Naturally primary sources are not expected.

@Smin1080p_WT Any news of the Ariete’s armor being corrected? A detailed report was accepted 2 years ago and we have since heard or seen nothing

Not how it works in this case. This is still an RAF aircraft and inside the RAF. Meaning it can remain in the UK tree. Its not mandatory that foreign pilots aircraft cannot be in the UK tree. Ultimately it still survived with the British armed forces, so its more than viable for the UK tree.

Simply its an option that they can go to other trees where needed (such as the Norwegian Mossies) to fill gaps.

Hey Smin, do you think you could look at this bug report for spike missiles on the Saraph? No there is no info on it carrying them IRL, but I’ve attached this bug report to an older one (link in the description for the older one) that was accepted on the basis that Spike ER and NLOS are all compatible and interchangeable with one another, with no software or needed changes to the firing platform. I was making an update to it that ER2 is also compatible with the aforementioned missiles. The idea is more of a QoL change or an interim one, since there are no plans for NLOS most likely for a while.
