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

I asked smin, its reportable, they could jsut ignore it but lack of power assistance does not mean no power assistance, this would be the first ever case of them knowingly exceeding an autoloaders peak fire rate. it still has an autoloader assistance, its just slower and bad. To my knowledge they’ve never exceeded an autoloader e.g giving the soviet ones a 5 second reload, as its not possible mechanically.

Lowest they could get if you accounted purely for the autoloader is probably like 40 seconds and that would account for the crew somehow teleporting shells from autoloader to the breach.

Thats a guess by the way, no document i have read straight up says this. Oh and 1940’s printed german is hard to read, im only B2…

So fingers crossed then, but I can only imagine the thread spam with figures reported from Bismark. So have something saved in a notepad for C&Ping into those threads :D

Well if you google the gun and do any research navyweps clearly state it. if people care enough to moan about them being different i’d hope they at least would try and research why first. I did not just get told this, i looked and found it, and now have been trying to validate it with the autoloader plans and the rof figs from the coastal batterys

It’s curious how the human mind works
you have to be a very brilliant naval engineer and, at the same time, a complete idiot to build something like that.

No, mostly idiot.Even I could probably draw something like that if I was really good at drafting

A completely justified use case for nuclear shells in naval combat

Dumbest and funniest design ive ever seen

Fortunately, we’re getting another CAS deleter with the IRIS-T SLM c:

And F-2

Thankfully Gaijin claims they want to hold off on making naval worse by adding more missiles so it’ll hopefully be a while before a Type 42 shows up.

Do you say this mostly because it would mean Yamato is no longer best in game? I think true missile ships would be amazing if they made some gamemode changes for those BR’s

lol yeah

I mean, there were actually some guys who, if they’d had the time and money, would’ve built these things for real.

And honestly, some idiots did get the money when the time was right, just look at the Maus… or the Gustav gun.

Maybe.

Yet to be 100% confirmed and I would still be a little surprised if they do go straight for the IRIS-T SLM and its greater range. But if they do, I would hope for some pretty major CAS buffs ASAP

I am not a Yamato fan.
And I do not believe Gaijin will make any changes to the mode that would make missile ships not abhorrent. I’d rather they stay away from War Thunder as long as possible.

Yep. I feel like we have gone backwards in raw destructive capabilities ever since nukes went from being viewed as very large explosives to immediate world enders (for good reason)

Given we dont have additions like

County-Class destroyer
Type 12I
Type 21
Type 22

etc etc

yet, I doubt theyd jump to the Type 42 anytime soon and there would be a logical set of ships to come first. County-Class and Type 141 being of perticular note because they didnt have ASMs in their initial fits and both had 2x twin 4.5" guns making them fairly reasonable additions anytime, but would add SAMs.

Players have been complaining about CAS constantly for years. Buffing it right after adding a counter would be pretty evil

But jets that airstrike things are cooler than tanks soooo

Even minor things, like giving the Typhoon SAL Brismtone 2s instead of Brimstone 1s (which would actually be a historically accurate loadout) would be required. Maybe also GPS-Guided Spear-3s for a little standoff

I cannot imagine how you would engage anything with a 20km SAL weapon when something has a 40km death sphere
