Because the update is literally rushed and they preferred releasing a half-baked product rather than waiting and releasing it fully cooked
RDF isn’t a downgrade, it trades top speed for more ammunition. Sure, it’s not much of an upgrades since 26 AP rounds is all you need, but it’s still an upgrade.
Also this update isn’t rushed, that’s not how this style of game updates work.
All of these vehicles were 3+ months in the making. Decided long before the previous update and developed across at least 2 major update releases
With the way War Thunder does updates, assets IN DEVELOPMENT get added when finished for that major update.
Assets aren’t made for any specific update if they’re not part of a theme.
This update’s only theme is Typhoons.
There are flaws with War Thunder, and they should be addressed. I will not have a tantrum due to their existence though.

Why were every few of the Rafales accepted bug reports implemented before the update? It actually lost things from dev to live with the loss of the GMTI radar mode for some reason
The only thing the RDF has going for it is more ammo, otherwise the HSTV-L is better in every way.
So RDF is wrong. PzH 2000 is wrong. Wiki was downgraded. Profile got downgraded.
Gaijin is doing alot of mistakes

Why add vehicles like the PzH2000 and the EF2000 if you are going to deliberately make them worse than their RL counterparts?
If the game is not ready for a vehicle, don’t add the vehicle. And don’t just add the vehicle in a crippled fantasy version.

Couldn’t help myself
Don’t even need to grind anything around those BR. Just want to keep spawning Tigers like T1000.

The update promised to be the best in 2024, but it turned out as usual. You have to be able to ruin everything like that.

No, the HSTVL is only superior in mobility.
RDF isn’t known to be wrong. No one’s given evidence that its speed or engine are incorrect.
Wiki was upgraded. Munitions data is actually present now. While rather dangerous “accurate” statements were removed such as TWR which was a specific number that wasn’t useful in any situation.
For example, 0kph thrust doesn’t matter for almost all of the flights in-game.
Profile was changed, no downgrade.
@iMatty01
RDF’s gun depression was correct throughout the entirety of dev.
Applique armor wouldn’t matter.
Ammo penetration is correct. The higher pressure charges used for the barrel wear test aren’t the ammo that’s in-game and HSTVL doesn’t need it, especially when HSTVL already has its intended ammo.
There are correct ways to critique vehicles, and lying isn’t how you do it.
And claiming that every critic of WT are “bootlickers” just puts you on the side of defending WT from criticism.
I can only imagine what people would correctly say if your posts were begging for 2S38 to get a better APFSDS round. HSTVL and 2S38, two potent vehicles for their BRs as-is.
How is the Wiki upgraded? Almost all info is just gone! Before you could go to for example the Roland SAM and it tells you which vehicles use Rolands. That’s completly gone. It’s a downgrade in info and design

Ngl this update seems alil undercooked, honestly we’d rather it have been pushed back few days to get everything more polished, there’s glaring modeling errors with multiple new vehicles which is just going to annoy the playerbase.

You would think they would fix those. What is the dev server for if not for that?

@Stona_WT Will this be made available in Test Flights too? Currently this is only available in battles
Ahem
Su-33 flaperons and flaps
Ahem
oh so asking for something to be fixed before being released is considered “being spoiled”?
Okay,let’s bring here my statements regarding the PzH-2000 for you and the other pal called @AlvisWisla
Spoiler
Ammo bustle rack armor not modeled
manual reload despite the ammo rack stating it is mechanized. Plus, the reload is literally 100% more than IRL,realistically you must be drunk to reload this tank in 13 seconds
Spoiler
Lack of L15A3 and the SAPHE round and presence of the M107,despite being a round that is very VERY rarely used by this tank
oh don’t get me started about the Jets they’ve added, no one is even close to its IRL counterpart

Exactly, to underutilise a system in place to avoid these kinda issues is just frustrating to watch unfold when it’s completely avoidable.
That’s just one vehicle, the rdf lt and vbci also have modelling errors
