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

[NCC105]

That’s fine, it still needs to hit on face, only 279’s cannon with 364mm pen can pen it’s hull.

[thethrill820]

Yeah i think the PLZ is gonna slide through it too

[MajorDuckBoi]

Which one is free reward P-51 or Flagstaff?

[AWACS Ghost Eye]

P-51, boat and the level 75 rewards are not.

[Raiden_Black]

~320mm pen is what some are speculating for the PLZ 83-130

PLZ-83 (130) - An Upgunned Export

Using Gaijin’s calculator, it has 328mm pen at point blank. It fires the IS-7’s shell, but at 930 m/s instead of 900, so it has a bit more pen. [image]

I actually see AV-8B+ coming next major as a 12.3 AMRAAM Carrier. Would be an ideal time to add it and would explain why it has yet to be added

I assume maybe AV-8B+ refit 2012 ~ 2015

Eh I think the AV-8B+, F-15C and A-10C have a pretty decent possibility to be added in the upcoming few updates (not specifically june though).

F-15C is an easy amraam carrier for 3 nations in game. Japan also stilll needs a fox 3 carrier iirc so adding a later F-15J (F-15C) to them while also adding a later F-15C to the US and Israeli tree is a 3 for 1 deal in terms of work done.

AV-8B+ is an easy C&P (and I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing in this case) from the Italian tree and is a lesser capable fox 3 platform.

A-10C could fit the recent pattern of more, and in the case of Russia better, ground attack aircraft at high tier.

USMC AV-8B+ something unlike AV-8B+ (Marina Militare Italiana) from itaiy tech tree, especially targeting pod, AGM-65 (laser guidance) and standoff glide bomb but you don’t worry AV-8B+ from USMC model because easy copy

I assume gaijin could add F-15C from USAF & Israel but different radar and IAF F-15C equipped DASH III HMD, F-15C (2001) with AN/APG-63(V)1 and F-15C Baz Meshupar (1999) with AN/APG-63 PSP

I guess maybe A-10C refit 2016 ~ 2017 equivalents of Su-25SM3 and quite believe A-10C it might be new monster CAS

[JimmieJugend]

Is it expected that APHE would have better performance than the BR-482B APCBC on the IS-7?

Edit: When unchecked for APCBC.

A single eurocopter light attack helicopter actually ☝️🤓

[人民英雄聂海芬]

Will we get BMD4M in the next update? In the case that China has obtained ZBD04A.

[Deathmisser]

He won’t tell you what’s not in the update and what is.
You’re gonna have to wait like everyone else

[Tubby_Vermin]

I vote Stun, as its another realistic aspect of the game and RL, so why not

[Deathmisser]

But tbh War thunder is a realistic arcade not full on realism.

Many people who have Autism and other problems this Stun will just ruin there experience.
If you want to play realism then play more triple A games.

[Tubby_Vermin]

I’m okay, ill play war thunder with Stun

[Deathmisser]

Well by the looks of it it got voted down thankfully but this isn’t really the place for talking about it

[Raiden_Black]

China should’ve got the ZBD-86 & ZBD-04 (aka ZBD-97) first and then the ZBD-04A (aka ZBD-08)
Similar to how Russia got BMP-3 & BMD-4 in the past and will get BMD-4M in the future

[Deathmisser]

@Tubby_Vermin I know what I said but does this mean one death leavers play war thunder realistically then ?

And should we make the cost of the vehicle in game to reflect irl cost age ?

“In general, the cost of a new M1A2 Abrams is around $8.5 million to $10 million”

Just a thought lol

[AWACS Ghost Eye]

Id be more interested in a machine like the BMP-3M with dragoon kit or kurganets-25 employing AU-220. Currently the sprut branch is unattractive because a 2S38 can do most of the jobs of the branch with a few more.

[Rowiek]

we shall see. The first dev-blogs start around the beginning/mid of may.

[TheMightySardine]

We dont know. Cause the gun is not IS-7 gun, the S-70 is derived from naval B-13, meanwhile this gun is copy of soviet towed M46 field gun.
