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

honestly just praying there are more SPAA and it isnt just 2, because neither sweden nor china needed new SPAA the HQ-17 and ITO 90 were tied for the second best SPAA

Look a few posts up

I wonder how Gaijin will manage the stealth on the Comanche. Currently half the helicopters in-game are hard to get radar locks. (From the air, ground AA usually doesn’t have much of a problem.)

RAH-66 premium must be P2W because of its reduced heat and radar signature unlike every helicopter (like adding a premium f22 and no equivalents for other nations)

I wouldnt neccessarily agree on HQ-17 being great but its true when its topped with helicopters. Anyways, the IRIS-T SLS will probably go to Germany as well, someone said there are enough evidence but I cannot recall who and what sources they used.

Really hope for some spaa. Skyranger needed

IK its a pre order, still, stealth is overrated for helicopters in WT, you cant magically reduced the distance at where it is rendered

I don’t think it’s going to be that game changing

Yes, but it’s still an iconic and unique vehicle that I’d really hate to see locked behind a paywall, as I and many players wouldn’t pick it up with a paywall to it. It’s a cool aircraft, but for a vehicle that’s only usable in GRB with limited grinding capabilities, it really isn’t worth the price they put on all their premium helis.

i meant the F-117 pic lol

Oh, lol, i get it

still 2 nations that were honestly far better off then most nations in warthunder getting marginally better SPAA when Japan, italy and israel dont have proper top tier SAMs and the US and UK are stuck with a 10km sam with no tracer so past 3km you have no idea where it is

doesn’t exactly have to be a game changer but it still has features that no other helicopter may ever have

Gaijin seems to be able to mess up rendering pretty consistently

Observe

I honestly think it makes perfect sense it would be a premium and im not that surprised

Too bad other countries didn’t develop something similar then.

I was actually more to get the RAH 56 but whatever.

But you can also make a case for all premium helis and all high tier naval saying they are overpriced, and I doubt anyone would disagree. I do disagree it being a premium however, it can potentially be put below the DAP as a SOAR heli.
Regardless, its only 6x hellfires and thats giving up all the stingers. I cant see a point even in heli PVE where GR or the older peten can carry 16 lots of hellfires and grind much more effectively. 12 stingers may be a gimmick but if thats so, the Z-10 with 16 better missiles should get a lot more attention.

I mean, beside SWE there is another nation that is blurred out, witch is probably germany

I can only imagine SLAMRAAM or ADAMS for later date alongside with type 11 SAM, not sure about the UK, the skyranger seems decent but I doubt its top tier worthy, the same for ground based martlets

Hay HMS Vanguard neat
