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

Praying for some trophy fixes this update and P5 fixes. Not gonna get my hopes up though. Don’t understand the reasoning of the mk4 M getting put to 12.7 just cause of aps. Warrants for an armor buff

The code literally exists to buff the merkava armour, they did it before with the LIC, but no we get armour nerfs instead

2.7 BRs of decompression total.
10.0 moved to 12.7 over time. Yes, some of the current 12.7s were 10.0 on first introduction.

Also the code that “buffed” LIC was also the type of code that gave IS-6 more armor, and people falsely claimed it was Russian bias when it impacted the IS-6.

@阿依土鳖的罗初
VT-4A is more armored than ZTZ-99A, and has a solid APS. Easily a 12.7 vehicle.
VT5 is a top 3 light tank.

The Israeli AH-60 is also in the same predicament, a sub-par helicopter facing the Mi-28 stands no chance. Some platforms should be a 0.3 BR below the top and best FnF helicopters.

Gaijin also need to re-decompress CAS, (as you can’t stock grind your top tiers at 12.0 and fight the scary stuff in batches of 4 every uptier), imagine trying to stock grind a BN while fighting Rafales and Su-30s every match 🤦‍♂️

Hu. Havent really looked at the Oplot, just assumed it basically had the same shell as the other T-series tanks.

So good to know

not really a challenge when there are only really 4 light tanks to begin with and 1 (technically 2) are the Namars

its more or less a slighty worse 3BM60

It’s can’t even kill the annoying helis, because for some god forsaken reason belly mounted LDIRCM works on top down spikes

The namers are a sad joke of a heavy ifv in game

The armor of VT4A1 is not as hard as 99A, and its protective surface is also weaker than 99A. In addition, the problem of the first armor not being able to jump bullets has not been solved to this day
The VT5 armor is too weak and lacks penetration depth (491), making it unable to withstand 11.7

if im not mistaken. DM63 actually has slightly less pen than DM53. The main benefit is an inert charge (might be getting the name wrong there) that would be a quite decent boost to survivability (why Id quite like it on the CR3TD).

DM73/DM83 would be the next major upgrade in terms of pen
