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

[Smin1080p_WT]

Its being investigated currently.

[Zulizia]

Which part of it? The mad dog feature or that the launchers allow you to stay alive with unusable missiles?

[Code_649]

@tripod2008

?

That’s the B-1B, not the B-1A are you sure a supersonic low RCS airframe; SNIPER-XR TGP + 24x 2000lb JDAM-ERs carried internally (and more externally), is worth a 10.0 rating, seems a tad low.

It’d be slightly more reasonable for a B-1A or B-1R. But not a B-1B with up to date stores.

This would surely be 11.3 minimum? IMO anyways. It’s a lot more capable than the F-111A/F we have in-game. Sure, it’s massive and it’s a flying headphone warning if it comes ingame.

I’d love to see it and similar (well, there’s really only the Soviet/Russian supersonic bombers) bombers like it.

[Reach2402]

Could you please clarify what is being investigated?

That the “Mad Dog” feature was removed (Eventho it was the main selling point and only real strength of the vehicle)

Or that the Launchers don’t die without the Radar like other multi sams?

As I posted long ago;

Why do people still believe the myth that “Merkava Mk.4 can’t possibly have good KE protection” because “it was made to withstand RPGs, not MBTs”? Israel is surrounded by MBT-armed nations that are either hostile towards it or have been at some point during Merkava Mk.4’s developement and service.

This is Sea Eagle and unrelated entirely.

[DevilO6]

The custom camo in that report…

[Zulizia]

thank you sminster

[Jabber7625]

i assume its because they dont see big bulky ERA blocks and thick comp armor but see an engine in the front and assume it has really bad KE prot

Russia Tank 's ERA in game have big buff. but other team’s Tank ERA weak not with reality

[magach]

Understanding Merkava 4 armor protection. Part 1 of 3

saying this is useless, since gaijin will just buff the bmpt armor and add butcher another newly-added israeli ground vehicle.

they rely on their air force and attack aircraft a lot

[magach]

yes, in iran
fighting in gaza, lebanon, or any place that ground forces deploy too would be 10,000 times harder without armored corps

[141_allen]

Yeah, but not like it also ain’t the most nightmare place to deploy armoured vehicles.

[quartas121]

So places where the main threat is guys with RPG’s and other CE weapons
