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

C&Ps aren’t ideal, but at least they fill the gaps — and they’re real vehicles that were actually used.

Honestly yeah, I agree, better have something to create lineups now, than wait 8 years for a unique model to realize that it only comes as a premium, because it was made by a player.
I have dubious feelings about copypaste, on the one hand I would like ingenious designs to come instead, on the other hand I also want to get at least something each update without a need to wait so much and be eventually disappointed in one way or another.

@paolgand1975-psn

At 5.7 you’ve got the T34/85, at 7.3 the M47, and adding something like the IS-2 as a heavy at 6.7 would really help — because right now the M46s are under heavy pressure at that BR, given how many U.S. and German heavies there are around.

I was thinking about Hungarian or Romanian Panther, but T-34-85 can be also added, maybe as “Hungarian revolution” premium.

Take a guess at how good a gun that fires sub-76mm darts at 200 RPM will be lmao
It’s going to be a bushmaster with slightly better pen and post-pen damage,at best
And there will probably be some first-stage ammo-rack shenanigans that will somehow make it worse to use than a Bushmaster XD

(boxer a1 by lockheed martin)

might wanna mention its LMUK we know how US players can be when a US company is mentioned making anything /j

[Rambolf]

Ahould have like 70+ round ready rack, over 190mm of pen and decent airburst rounds… but this is a french/british gun system so who knows how they mess it up

[Rambolf]

Rather want the Patria LM40 turret tbh looks more polished

[Apollo_1641]

IDK how accurate this is but here’s the stats according to wikipedia

It’s stated weight, velocity, and penetration is roughly comparable to Strf9040C’s top round

[Smugspite]

supposedly from new tests it was found to have a pen of 190 at 1500m so might be wrong

[I_MiikaL_I]

Looks awesome, would also make for a good fit for both trees, as Finland needs some more stuff in our subtree

[Smugspite]

honestly I want the Ajax Blakjax even if it isnt as good its pretty cool looking with the Iron Fist APS

[Rambolf]

Or the GLORIOUS Lancer FMP

Ground radars that extends like the japanese ifv and it goes 55mph

[Smugspite]

would make for a neat 10.0

[GTP_Paulie-psn]

That is damn sad to hear that you class me as more optimistic.

[Rambolf]

Er might be a bot higher as it has gen 2 thermals and if it gets the later round 190mm of pen with airburst

[Apollo_1641]

I can believe that, would surprise me if a new 40mm round was somehow inferior to the old one

[Rambolf]

It was calculated due to like the 2020 expo showing the round off and it being a smidge longer then the older 90s apfsds

[Rambolf]

But hey… at minimum even if we dont get 190, 175mm is still pretty decent

[Smugspite]

really depends on how they model the ammo if its around 190 it would probably be 10.3

[Smugspite]

when every time the UK could get something similar to other nations we normally have to wait well over a year for it yeah no room for optimism

[Rambolf]

Its near as quick as some wheeled vehicles and gets 0 to 48 km/h in 9 seconds

[Rambolf]

Man atleast i can use the jaaaag tho
