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

Me looking at the gazillionth AL ship

I knew they took liberties, just didn’t realise they magic up nonsense.

Yeah, which is the real issue for War thunder and its CQB tiny maps.

I read a really good analysis on reddit before that basically summed up why soviet tanks always feel so much better than everyone elses and whilst I do still think they are overperforming in a few key ways, one of the biggest reasons is that hte maps and gamemode designs just so heavily favour the soviet doctrine of tank design.

They sure do

its so jover, unironically tho chieftain Mk10 at 9.0 with the shot kal delt is a deadly combo, sure no speed but great guns and good armour when hull down

There’s a long list of British vehicles I really don’t like, makes me a hater but so be it…

Just a shame the 9.0 line up is soo… eh…

No SPAA without uptier
No IFV without uptier
Only the single MBT or uptier the Cheiftain Mk5 which isnt as good without the L23.

fair enough lol

I mean there isnt really a 9.0 worthy IFV, if we got rapier mk1 with no proxy that could be 9.0

Or my personal vote, a Rover with a Javelin LML.

Chief and Shot Kal? Why not the Triple Chief?
Wish we’d also get the Mark 11 or 12 soon. People love to talk about gaps but miss the huge one between the Mark 10 and Chally 1.

Let alone additions like the Cheiftain 900 and 2000.

Mk. 11 features a thermal, which at its BR would perhaps be decisive since its a sniper tank. However it probably needs a huge map to play the advantages. If its foldered below the mk10 would take it ofc.

Unfortunatly the shot kal D gets removed. Id take the pain and take it with a series of 9.3, its somewhat okay there. Sure, uptiers, but at least there are MTTD and VFM at the job, and it still does fine in 10.0 matches.
Again guess the L23 is the biggest let down, mobility was alright.

The Japanese aircraft carriers with completely made up planes and Japanese cruisers with completely made-up main guns 😰

There is also the changzheng which i heard of without playing wows. Dont ask why the soviets put a 457mm on a yamato class, or why is there a 4th ship in the first place.

Well, they did plan 5, with No.4 being almost seaworthy before cancellation.
