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

I don’t expect it this week. (I know, daring…)

then do that, nobody is preventing you from doing that

Nobody is preventing Gaijin from adding a good SPAA to the US either.

I mean it was a shot in the dark for a trailer but if not now then we know it’s next week

the patriot got literally leaked for this year

so pls stop crying about the ADATS

If they want to add one fast, they have to “steal” one from another tech tree.
If they want to add an American one, they have to scour through prototypes to find a decent one that won’t be an ADATS sidegrade or not possible due to range being too high.

@ron_2303
Patriot is going to be exclusively AI, calling it now.

True

I mean honestly, SLAMRAAM is still an option. Range wouldn’t be too high since they are adding the IRIS-T SLM apparently already, so y’know.

So Tirpitz premium in about a year or two?

my prediction is that they want to test multi vehicle AA with the IRIS-T SLM and then have it (somewhat) working for the patriot and S300

Its face hardened not cemented armour and it couldn’t be built in plates of more than 9.8" thick. Face hardened plates crack and lose all kinetic effectiveness, 2 plates laminated is always worse than one singular plate. if you by some miracle survived the first shell you would not survive a second hit to that place.

This is not true, fire control was a notable weak point of the Soyuz’s design as Russia really had no idea what they were looking for they also had no radar integration, as you can see with the Battle of Guadal Canal where a number of hits were achieved with radar not optical rangefinding. The guns are also insanely inaccurate.

Indeed Soyuz if modelled correctly would have the worse armour at top tier, in fact she would have worse armour than some 6.7’s.

This is why Sovetsky is an abysmal ship, firstly, most estimates deduce that she had a high chance of literally splitting apart upon launch, she didn’t have the hull design to actually achieve her desired speed nor the machinery. Her shafts were not properly reinforced and went under the boilers. Hard hits or torpedo hits would end up with a worse situation than what happened to POW in that her propeller shaft would break but she may also experience a boiler/steam explosion as the shaft runs below the boilers.

More importantly though, she was just lines drawn on paper, the best shipbuilding nations wouldn’t have designed a ship anything like her and what makes it worse is that it would’ve been hard to make such a meh design work, let alone in Soviet Union where the actual materials and tech needed wasn’t even available.

all those big ass BB’s showing up and all i want for the update is like the la combattante with SS12’s or la combattante 2 D:

Question is would the RN have pursued Bismark if the Hood wasn’t destroyed. Say both ships traded shots and ended up damaged and decided to retreat would the RN have mobilised the reserves in Nova Scotia to hunt down and destroy Bismark?

Bismark was a symbol of German superiority, and as much a PR victory as a military one.

As i said buddy, we’re still stuck with the ADATS, you wont feel the struggling because you clearly a Russian fanboy.

I don’t think it’ll be as bad as you think. Some issues irl likely won’t replicate in game as seen with many things.

It won’t be. That’s much of my point. It will get the paper speed, it will get good modern rangefinders, it’s belt will not be in two pieces like is historical, and the belt will be made of the intended cemented armour and not face-hardened.

It will just be irritating to see other more competent shipbuilding nations struggle at top tier against this behemoth because they were not so stupid as to draw some lines on paper and rush into something they couldn’t finish and waste Billions of rubles.

Bismarck was nothing special. Weeker then ships of its size, roughly on par with ships 7000 tons ligther then her

how likely is it that there are still vics missing off the leak list and some of those are SPAA?

I can only repeat myself: No leak list has everything, never did, never will.
