Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Well if its a JF-17 squad vehicle I’m wrong about them not doing two new airframes for China and also I need a Squadron. My last one evaporated.

Anyone got a pure vehicle grinder squadron that actually gets the 20k points every time with a spare space? I max my activity easily.

Obligatory plug of the KV-1A you’re talking about if anyone is curious and wants to read more on it:

But yeah, if it will be 5.0 in GRB, then it will definitely be a worse option from the German variant with the 75mm KwK40 L48, which has almost 50mm more pen with its APHE round, an increase of almost 50%.

If they place it at 4.7 it will be slightly better than the russian counterpart, with a less vulnerable turret, but which still can be penetrated by most 3.7 tanks. Not that it would matter much anyway, the only option is to have it either as your only 4.7 tank or place it in a 5.0 lineup with only 2 other 5.0 tanks…

If only they would place both KV-1’s in the finnish subtree, but I’m already happy that they allegedly are considering adding only one of the two to the Finnish subtree. (And in this case it should actually be a premium, as it is a one-off vehicle, which wasn’t used in large numbers, unlike the StuG and others)

I hate to tell you but this allegedly you’re speaking of is moot. I have argued about it before as Sweden doesn’t have a viable 3.7 or 4.0 without premium vehicles, they really dont have a lineup from 2.7 until about 5.7

I only mentioned 4.0 because people will scream erm aktually you have 3 4.0 TD’s

Yes sweden has 2 TD’s which suck at 4.0 i would call the pvkv II okay, the gun wobble and chassis are both horrid though.

Again i dont get why gaijin puts these types of vehicle in game without an actual lineup. The only people who buy the fin KV are noobs or diehards which will hate it after 3 6.0 matches.

Also if you have evidence of them saying they were considering giving the KV-1B please do post it. And not the quote of “we dont rule out the idea of it being added again”

It wasnt used in large numbers because finland had 2 tanks at the start of the war. Finland ended up taking most of russia’s vehicles since their crews fled in an attempt to not be killed or captured. I still find it hilarious gaijin couldnt even get their tank history right either.

That quote that the fins wnjoyed the BT series is hilarious. The christie battalion which operated the BT’s were shutdown after 3 months because they hated the BT. Thin armor constant breakdowns, poor performance.

Well if this KV-1 is a premium, that gives me hope we’ll see the uparmoured one in the tech tree.

Bro ever heard of churchill croc? Well, on a bright side, it wins in an 1v1 against KV-1s most of the time.

Both the Klimi and the KV-1B have the same armor

Klimi just has the cast turret instead of the addon to bring it to 75mm

Should be on-par with Hood, potentially little bit worse armour, but better secondaries if they give her in a WW2 refit.

Kinda irritating that Japan is slated to get another 16.1" ship before anyone else has a single 16" and the French in particular have no 7.0 ship, not even in a leak.

But it does bring me joy that they aren’t adding anything else to German naval that we know of yet :)

Depends on if the if the KV has fed the snail or not. Regardless no lineup doesnt really make it all that appealing. Besides id go as far to say the churchills (minus the NA75, sorry bud) are pretty great.

I think it may just be a matter of adding the unit code of a certain country of service to the MBT2000 name, such as the Leopard 2A4 (the “123rd” armored battalion) of the Germany and the Type 90B (fuji school brigade, tank school unid, 3rd co.) of the Japan. Or change the name For example, VT1. MBT2000 and VT1 represent the same tank . MBT2000 is the name of the project. VT1 is the official name given by the Chinese side, and there is also an upgraded model in the MBT2000 is VT1A, and I think the probability of this tank appearing in the game is still relatively low

Also if we are talking BR and pen wise the churchill is still better. More pen and not 5.0, though my matches in the mark VII have been overshadowed hy the beast called the concept 3

Both from 300m, 99 pen solid shot and 96 pen aphe, idk 5.0 is just not worth it if you want a finnish KV-1. Which means youd still be better off buying one off the market which wont get seal clubbed everymatch.

Cant wait to see people who pay 4k ge to get seal clubbed

Yeah thats what I mean. Not even needing an uptier, KV-1s are already getting hard clapped by churchill VIIs which is literally impenetrable by early soviet 76mm.

This image appears to be authentic: observe the ELA levels being consistent on the CTWV RCV part:

I am looking forward to this! A new light vehicle to surpass Type 89- I have to study about it, but it should be a worthy successor capable of being a part of the 11.7 lineup!

ELA, aka Error Level Analysis!

Error Level Analysis (ELA) permits identifying areas within an image that are at different compression levels. With JPEG images, the entire picture should be at roughly the same level. If a section of the image is at a significantly different error level, then it likely indicates a digital modification.

Again this really only further proves my point that gaijin doesn’t care about finland. If they did maybe they would’ve done some basic thinking and not added a tank that doesnt have a lineup and wont perfrom well with how compressed everything is. Not to mention make it a premium lmao

ah ok, thanks

I think most people want the Rapier as an alternative to the Stormer HVM rather than a new top tier SPAA

Any ideas about what the concealed British vehicle could be btw?
