Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Luckily the XF-2A is a thing
And since the F-16AJ already is fictional there wouldn’t be much of a problem to add one with AMRAAMs

See for yourself

You can clearly see that at the very least, all the panels that hold the Kontact 5 ERA are the exact same as any T-90A, and like I said, the commanders sight is missing, and if you look up other pics, the back turret ammo storage isn’t present either, all confirming that it’s just a T-90A

I want War Thunder to continue being realistic & balanced, rather than imbalanced in some power fantasy you seem to endorse.
T-80BVM’s characteristics existed in the 1990s: No turret armor, and good hull armor which cqb maps negate as front armor is only seen on mid-range maps.
3BM60 performs similar to OFL 120 F1, and both are vastly inferior to M829A2.
And 2S38 fires real rounds, which is why it’s 10.0 and not lower.

who knows the snail might just make it a t90m any way

Anyway, w/ this in the files now:
image-1

What does the R&R think will be our first techtree ship w/ nuclear propulsion ?

I specifically meant the new add-on kit for the T-90M with the Relikt bags and cages.

Either volumetric needs to be reworked to down tune ERA, better western APFSDS needs to be released that can defeat it easier, or both. Especially if the Add-on armor is given to the T-90M when it’s introduced so there isn’t two tanks with broken armor.

dont get me wrong but why they are going to put a jet that japan only tested, over the F-15J/DJ that was actually in service?

I read once XF-2A suggestion no FLIR & laser designator pods and it limited BVR SARH only & unguided Air-to-Ground armament

Now that definitely makes no since. Not only would that mean they are going out of there way too give the US Russians best T-90 tank, but would also means that the would be ignoring all logic and evidence that the captured T-90 is just the A model

That’s just a suggestion you know, placeholder weapons and semi-fictional loadouts aren’t anything new in WT. Also you don’t need FLIR or anything like that in ARB

you are living in fantastic world, and everything you are writing is just rave

no turret armor))))))))))

it was introduced 4 years ago and its capabilities are unknown(do you really trust “ARMIA-2019”?)

this rounds should work like default HE with programmable fuse(measuring distance after that shooting), but not work just like magic HE that explode by themselves.
also need to note, that this shells even entered service, it still are being tested

It is not the only example that has been recovered, just the only one we have images of.

Sure but there’s no evidence of a T-90M in US possession. I believe the UK has had access too one but that about all we know. The only T-90 we know the US has is just the T-90A, and as you can clearly see, at the very least all the panels for holding the ERA are still present

no evidence, but according to Oryx, at least 3 T-90M were captured.
And I have strong feeling, that it is already in right hands)

It’s definitely possible, but again, without any hard evidence, we cant say for sure. Regardless, we can say with confidence that the T-90 found in the files for the USA is just going too be a T-90A

was there any proof, except for olivia?

only olivia

i can only hope for release of ukrainian tech tree some day…

Olivia is proof enough tbh. Obviously tho it’s just in the files, no clue what or when thell actually do something with it…
