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

I should add that it does have FY-4, but unlike the chinese VT-4A1 in-game it doesn’t have a full FY-4 coverage, but FY-2 on front plate as example.

Type 16 has better thermals and fire power. But yes I regularly have to use the MTTD and VFM-5 as my light tanks in Britains top tier

Precisely… the important one, hahah.

That means not even that small strip on the glacis will be capable of withstanding fire; instead of being around 690mm KE, it will be around 610mm KE; so shells such as M829A2, DM53, Type 10, etc, will be able to slice through it.

I mean, if it’s 11.0-11.3, it could be great, on the Type 90 lineup! Unfortunately, I can already smell it at 11.7-12.0.

As of now, not even VT4A1 is 12.0 material, yet there it sits, so…

Eh, the thermals aren’t that big of a deal, the Rooikats (and VFM-5s) round has slightly more pen, so I guess by fire power you mean the 12.7mm MG the Type 16 gets?

Thermal Scimitar 235 when moment. (and possible if it exists APFSDS for RARDEN)

Also, just curious as I might have missed it, do we have much info on the next ground event vehicle beyond the “massively different weapons” hint? I am guessing the G6 HVM currently off that but just wondered given it is a rumour round up xD

Would be a shame for the HVM to be an event vehicle, but I just want to have it, no matter how

It would, but currently the only vehicles I can think of which would massively change scope would be them, or something like CVRT Streaker with an MLRS on the back of it where the entire turret comes off. As the last vehicle was British, I can see a South African event vehicle being a tempting choice, esp given Brits keep complaining about SAMs while wanting SAMs xD

Given that its “big enough change to be the hint”, I am guessing a complete role change like G6 HVM over say, an autocannon to a main gun change.

It would also be the first proper SPAA/SAM event vehicle wouldnt it? Could be neat.

Yeah, the HVM was my first guess as well. The hint definitely sounds like a vehicle variant that swaps a gun for missiles/rockets or vice versa.
It wouldn’t be the first event SPAA tho, that title goes to the (now hidden) Phong-Kong T-34 in the USSR tree

It seems like that is probably a one-off, except as a part of premium lineups, we are yet to see missile SPAAs as event or high-tier premiums. This could be indicated by the fact that despite the 2S38 being designed and designated as SPAA, its still classified as a light tank.

@Smin1080p_WT can you say if with the OE F3 ammo on the PzH 2000 will be changed to something usefull? Because currently the OE F3 is an tier 4 Mod and also the worst HE round the PzH has…
Maybe an (fix) with the Major patch?

Btw has anyone worked out the pattern of between Dev notes and the first blog yet ?

As No.4 was posted in the same month of the blogs and the first blog was on the 5th.
So it’s 5 days ish ?

  • F/A-18A would more than likely be 12.3 or 12.7 (assuming 9L/7M), definitely not as low as 12.0
  • F/A-18A+ would be 13.0 (assuming 9M/7M)
  • F/A-18A+ would be 13.3 or 13.7 (assuming 9M/120A)
  • F/A-18C would be 13.7 (assuming 9M/120A)
  • F/A-18E/F would be 14.0+ (assuming 9X/120C-5)

A Pasi would be cool.

actually original bmpt/bmpt-2 is based on T-90 hull. BMPT-72 is based on T-72 hull though.

Well, thats actually a good take, the XA-180 exists and I almost forgot about it.

Im not surprised by the fact that, on the developer account, the tree with the least amount of vehicles is China

OE F3 is pretty standard for most tanks. I mean the Vidar doesn’t getbits better shell so i assume its for balancing? Or maybe so the type 99 has 1 thing going for it lol

Based SPAA enjoyer

The thing with the OE F3 is that it is a tier 4 modification, yet the default shell of the PzH 2000 is flat out better
