If I’m not mistaken. Both the Buk and SAMP are gunna be a little hamstrung with radar performance, like SAMP shouldn’t be able to target fighter sized aircraft past about 30-40km and missile will be like 20km. Not sure about Buk but I don’t think it will be able to make full use of its missiles either
Meanwhile skysabre should be able to see out well passed it’s max engagement range but won’t be able to fire until 30-40km. Though as with all British vehicles. Is being artificially nerfed and cant see passed 20km
exactly why i said they should ignore the complaining chinese player arent the ones playing the japanese tree (also not like they cant complain when most of their tree early on is all copy paste with very few indigenous designs)
The MK46 is exclusively for anti submarine warfare, it is not a dual-purpose torpedo.
It not going after surface ships is an intentional safety feature so that it can be fired within a formation and in proximity to allies.
There is actually an IRL example of this during Operation Paraquet, the British operation to recapture South Georgia during the Falklands war.
The Argentine submarine ARA Santa Fe was caught unawares on the surface and depth charged by RN helicopters. The damage prevented the sub from submerging and a Westland Lynx helicopter from HMS Brilliant attempted to use it’s torpedo. However, the MK46 passed underneath the sub harmlessly. The coup de grace was delivered by Wasp helicopters with AS-12 missiles and machine gun fire.
If you’re at all interested check out this segment from Hypohysterical’s Falklands documentary
Well let’s just say if gaijin caves into Chinese demands because of sensitive issues then all US captured aircraft most also be removed from Japanese for even more sensitive issues
imo the way gaijin thinks is that if they anger the chinese, they will face another WT player union scenario due to the large amount of chinese players in game…
or at least how amazingly united they all are (ik, ironic for WT)
eh well, US did more than enough to… avenge that no?
Japan: ooh look at that a second sun… wait is that a third sun??
oh no same but with how i have seen some chinese players talk about the japanese i highly doubt chinese players make up a large part of japans players in game
Just in case this applies here, I want to say that I would like Chinese demands to not be a reason to cut out a nation that might have been planned. When it comes to Indonesia the final decision should be up to Indonesian players, this is not an issue that concerns another nation.
When it comes to Chinese vehicles specifically like the VT-4, that might be an aspect that is worth considering to some degree, but this in no way applies to entire nations.
I really hope this won’t be an issue in the first case, but just in case I believe this needed to be said.
@Smin1080p_WT Hello, 2 questions (one of which I copied because it was interesting) :
Are there any plans to add APDS for the AMX-13 (I’m thinking especially of the AMX-13 HOT , which is struggling with its BR) and for the AMX-30 ?
I have a quick question for you, given that the current precendet for prototype made in cooperation between two countries that are in game are that both nation get them (df 105, clovis, MBT 70 etc…) Is there any chance the CV90105 tml could go to france? Given that this was a project conjointly made between k and GIAT (Question from Arakneo)
Its not something planned for this major. That much is for sure. New shells are added generally during BR updates when a tank is struggling or moves up in BR where it becomes a requirement.
Hey @Smin1080p_WT, in reference to recent updates to Tiger II 105 and Flakpanzer 341 on the dev server, can you explain the rationale behind doing fixes on ostensibly removed vehicles?
(IIRC these were made unobtainable for new players because they were in large part paper designs/mockups)
I understand the developers only have limited time and resources for bug fixes. Does this recent interest indicate plans to make them available again?
Hey. A vehciles being unobtainable does not mean its impervious to chanages. We have changed many past event vehicles that cant be obtained anymore long after they last were.
That’s true, but unlike event vehicles that were always intended to be rare/unobtainable, I believe the reason these were removed was because they were deemed unhistorical beyond repair.
I happen to own these 3, but do you see why some newer players would be upset to hear they can’t have them, to then encounter these vehicles in battles, and also learn they are maintained?
Is there a point where these vehicles could be released again? Otherwise I don’t personally see the sense in doing these small corrections.
