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

You can even drive one in germany

its seems its coming to grb as an spaa i think, but dont quote me on that lol

I wouldn’t really say solve, but it is an improvement to have the ability to not depend on a lock. RapidRanger with LMM of course would also have the added bonus that Britain could get LMM in the same update as well.

Another option for SACLOS SAM might also be Singaporean V-200 with Bolide missiles like the ASRAD-R, though as with most SAM options for Japan there is no radar. For radar there isn’t really anything past a Singaporean M113A2 UMI.

Aye a bit if exaggeration on my part, but I had some pretty frustrating games the other day where I couldn’t get a lock at 1.5km (in the stormer AD) and 2km (in the type 93) on Mi-24s on Arctic, the difference being in the Stormer AD I can hop in the HVM or OSA, Japan has nothing atm.

And extra bonus is LMM has a HEAT-MP warhead, so you’d be able to bully MBTs from the side

It is possible and sensical if its HQ-17A. We know the leakers are not experts in model so I always keep the benefit of the doubt

While ASEAN stuff would be nice for SAMs i dont wish for them to forget domestic options as well such as first:

With the ARH new mechanics would need to be implemented but more than doable.

Add the ARH to Type 81

Add The JGSDF version of the Type 11 sam

And lastly one that most forget but the Chu-MPM its missile is multi purpose and capable of hiting slow flying targets aka helicopters.

All of these would immensely help the sam issue with Japan not even going into ASEAN stuff yet…which of course would further boost it.

yes, the only thing we can do is wait for the next update and see

japan rn is a good sam country in wt, but for upcoming updates that could hopefully include better spaa, the best thing to do is buff its current spaa and to add Singaporean spyder-sr

I agree its far better then before but its my personal opinion that Type 81 struggles especially against helicopters. A buff would be nice but i was simply pointing out the options Japan itself still has.

The MiG-23-98 never truly existed to my knowledge. All we have are images of it and references of the armaments being mounted on it.

It was simply a MiG-23MLD that was dressed up pretty. Also no proof it had a new radar that could guide the radar missile or had any HMD like wiki claims.

(Did have R-73s, as the late serving MLDs were integrated with them.)

compared to other nations, japan is top 3 I think, sure its not that good against helis, but the type 81 is mad good against cas, that thing pulls really hard and its fire and forget, which allows you to engage multiple targets at once if you need too

Yes agreed. However we cant ignore that at the BR its at Helicopters are still a bane. A simple addition such as the ARH missile would be appropriate especially for the BR its at.

Japan in high tier excels in MBT and nothing else. In a well skilled players hand the type 10 has the highest skill celling in the entire game, but okay, X-38MT and GBU-24 upon ye

yes but the type-81 is a mean machine, against cas its very good, the only problem is not the system, but the kh-38’s and 29te’s that outrange almost all spaa(except pansir which is in the sam nation these are supplied)

gaijin gib SEP v3 plz

japan top tier if used correctly is insane, 4 sec reload and highley mobile tkx and type 10 are very good

You mean M1A1FEP(POL), M1A1SA/SEPV3(TWN) and M1A2SEPV3(ROM) right

you missed the actual SEPv3 from Poland

Yeah, but again, MBT is not everything, otherwise everyone would be playing Japan.

Lets be honest, you think it would be anywhere better looking at current abrams?
