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

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

That makes more sense than rampant Taliban air attacks.

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.
