No one is gong to use this as an SPAA it’s going to hunt tanks and at 7.0 it’s going to be a menace :)
What was it actually used for in Afghanistan? Taliban had much air power back then?
Still remember when WT only had Germany & USSR ground tree …
then Herman the captured Sherman was added … Baron and Phly taking it out in Karelia, kill cam still not implemented, and discussing the inevitable US ground being added in the then near future …
Suppressing troops the mountain terrain and passes made gun elevation on other Russian vehicles insufficient.
To combat that they used these
gib hornet.
That makes more sense than rampant Taliban air attacks.
If you squint hard enough every nation is some form of the US and USSR
They also used the BMD/BTR ZD to fulfil the role
I only listed the ones I personally am interested in.
Might have to expand on it when we see what else is to come. Hoping to see what the JH 17 will bring personally.
I don’t think it will be great for hunting tanks. 7.0 is still a BR where a lof of tanks have good sidearmor.
Honestly I do too, but it’s possible and I like to have hope.
Or maybe this could start a reverse Type 89 situation where seemingly every update the Type 81 (C) get’s another positive fix like more crew, radar missiles, launch without lock/self search, imaging mechanics, top speed and whatever else I might have forgot.
Could somewhat made up for the relentless bullying the Type 89 FV went through…
I can see that… 14km 35G fire and forget PESA missile for a vehicle that is 11.3 already could be seen as too much.
But considering how important the missile is for this specific Type 81 variant I doubt it’ll be held back forever, and if the addition of the Pantsir proved anything, it’s that disproportionately powerful SAM may just appear out of nowhere when least expected.
Leopards, marders, foxs, BMP, M41, any French autoloader.
I think it will do well
Tbf he did have a point. A single Swiss vehicle didn’t indicate a subtree at the time, and gaijin stated this themselves. Ofc everything can be subject to change, which is why it looks like we’ll be getting a Swiss subtree now if the leaks are indeed correct.
I guess for major update in october
Gajin not add another domestic USA fighter aircraft early rank 6 for 5 years
in before the hawk comes to germany as an exclusive as part of the swiss tree line
the swiss only has air to air missles. Would be pretty useless
If thats the case we have a DK jumpscare to ruin the skyranger for the germans.
InB4 its a premium exclusive to the nordic TT
/s because i still keep getting angy DM’s (it wont stop people from telling me to off myself lmao)
Finnish Hawk Mk.66 is the most unique MK.66 model, though doubt we’d ever see it with AIM 9M’s lol
Still need a Hawk 200
On the latest leak from discord no British Aerospace Hawk for swiss, but better Hawk T.1A (RAF) ?
Indonesian operated Hawk 200. I predict Hawk 209 for japan
Not third major update
