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

Well as I said within the dead zone it’s useless but outside of it it has no more issues than anything other SACLOS SPAA dealing with low alt targets

Well, yeah… it will probably be the best, yes, hahah.

But among the “famous Big Three”, I wonder which one will follow… as I have all 3 tech trees, so I would need to choose one to focus on at first.

probably yamato > soyuz > bismarck then iowa. Ive left iowa low as while it has great guns its belt will likely be found lacking at the ranges we play at.

Maybe Iowa since the class in general has the brightest future

Unless they let it bully unarmored guided missile destroyers I really don’t think they do.

Huzzah! Battleships!

  1. They should

  2. There are also Korean and Vietnam versions with some changes

  1. lmao
  2. Yeah, new radar and a different AA suite. Not going to matter much without huge changes to the mode (lol as if they’d ever)

not really, Soyuz will come with Lion and H-39 both of which would probably beat it, the only way soyuz wins is if gaijin gives her guns fantasy stats like the krons

Also heard they adjusted something with the 16" timing to make it more accurate

…did you miss both the reliable leak lists and the datamines?

More probably they’re in denial, like the people still thinking we’re not getting IRIS-T SLM. :)

it is surprising that we’re jumping to 40km death spheres in the first update with new SPAA. Especially as multiple nations appear to be getting nothing in that regard. Even sweden with the IRIS-T SLS wont be able to compete against the SLM. Just feels very… unbalanced.

because they want to test new mechanics with the SLM, so that they probably can copy paste the patriot into every tech tree the update after that

Even then, that makes no sense, when things like SLAMRAAM and Skysabre also exist with much shorter ranges than SLM and could be outfitted with external radars.

IRIS-T SLS made sense for testing IIR, but SLM just feels kinda insane.

But at least it means massive buffs for CAS

The leak also talks about type 81 radar vehicle and ARH missile. Iirc that missile has 14km range, it would be a much healthier way to test it, if that was the intention.

We can only hope for now

SLM is there to test Multi vehicle AA and 2 way DL if you ask me

Then wouldnt an ARH missile be better for that and not an IIR missile?

Considering we jumped from simple LGBs to 40-70km F&F missiles, it doesn’t seem unlikely but idk.
