Depends what rank we are speaking of really, as I have a range depending on what nation and rank. Overall probably the Challenger 1 Mk 3, DS and T-90 Bhishma as a trio.

Dibs on winter update dropping 22 Dec

(Not my birthday but close enough)

Could very well be, as it’s usually being between the 20th and the 23th.

The 22nd is my dads birthday, but he doesn’t play WT (nor any game), so he wouldn’t care XD

So you mean there’s a chance for the F-14 to get the AIM-95 Agile (the “early ASRAAM” which was developed until test-firings and then scrapped)? With the dynamic BRs this could easily be balanced :D

At least that way we could get the AIM-95 without ruining the F-14 like the British Hunter F.6

I don’t see why not. We already have the Kh-38MT that wasn’t even prototyped, so a prototype weapon that was even test fired from the intended platform really doesn’t seem like an issue.

Where did he say that? Also did he say aything about Japan since Japan will be the true “we have everything here” tree for air

The Hunter F.6 seems as ruined as the J34 which is worse than every other Hunter or aircraft at BR 9.3/9.0. It has worse climb/acceleration, turns worse (more like a whale and at speed below 600 km/h you have to wait until tomorrow to finish the turn), bleeds speed/energy like there is no tomorrow in turns, has worse missiles, no afterburner, no RWR, an extremely small fuel load, etc.
You can’t outrun and you can’t outturn (and therefore outgun except for head-ons). If a MiG-15 (0.6 BRs below you) evades your head-on, you’re dead as it catches you in every situation (even though it should have worse acceleration, it still closes in on you on the deck for whatever reason). The missiles shouldn’t be a reason to up it that much in BR as the AIM-9B equivalents can’t even hit a bomber from behind if he even so slightly starts a turn.

IIrc what he said was that they avoid adding Indian Rafale and Su-30MKI for now since these would be considered too much for top tier, but specifically didn’t deny them for the future.

Personally I think this means once we get 5th gen as top tier there will be much better chances to see the Indian aircraft. I also don’t think this would apply to Japan, where the Indonesian Rafale is the only option for 15.0 BR.

I’ve seen you already answering a million of these questions, and perhaps this specific one too.

But, Is the Mirage F1C considered for the custom battle ratings depending on weaponry? It would be quite nice to utilize it at a lower BR without the Magic 2, Especially considering there is the Greek F1 at 11.3 with 4x 9Ps. Thanks.

Currently no, its not one under the first wave of consideration.

Since this would lead to a Leopard 2 being buffed, maybe 5 years from now.

It puzzles me why it’s just missing 100mm of armour compared to the 122 in the front plate, not to mention the weaker turret but where is gaijin managing to fuck this up, easiest copy/paste of armour values ever from the 122 hull and yet it’s weaker???

Strange devs

almost 10 days? try 3 years and counting, it is accepted but still nothing done about it
