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

Yes and no.

Renown has pretty good AAA, but is denied HE-VT
Warspite is okay but again denied HE-VT
But they seem really reluctant to add late WW2 refits for a lot of stuff.

A lot of US ships get a lot of AA (Including HE-VT)

But Vanguard is going to maybe be a tad OP when it comes to AAA

I was thinking(hoping) with the Falklands map coming we would see one or two cold war era ships from that conflict but i kinda doubt it.

It’ll have its fair competition with the Iowa class. Won’t be the sole AA BB

Tbh I’m pretty happy with it as an air map. Next I’d like to have an ODS map for air and ground

ODS ground map would be nice but only if they make it reasonably large which gaijin seems to be allergic to doing for high tier vehicles.

It should be blip on your thermals large. If I know what I’m shooting at it’s too small

Not at all. The sheer volume put up by Yamato will make Vanguard look weak.

et naval has only recently gotten ground added

the air has been further than on regular Warthunder for a while too, they had F/A-18s a year before they came to regular thunder

Wt mobile??

Aren’t they still on props?

yes…

no?..

Since when was there F/A-18 in WTM?

I’m not even sure if air was fully released for WTM a year ago

Its the 8x twin radar guided 5.25" HE-VT slingers that make me think Vanguard will be very good

dont worry he’s bluffing
wtm is still in ww2 planes

Yeah I was confused since I played it for about half an hour a couple weeks ago, and I know for sure there weren’t any jets

Vanguard still has some quantity, although in 40mm Bofors not 25mm.

No matter what you are, 73x 40mm radar guided Bofors firing at you is gonna do something.

Yeah that too, but its the HE-VT that is really hard to dodge

not that big problem, it’s already meaningless to respawn planes in lower br with these cruisers, same for top.

Unless they add some kind of swarming attack for planes, maybe if/when carriers comes, AA won’t really matter for late US and UK battleships since they can deal with basically anything even with smaller batteries because radio fuse is pretty amazing

I never said she’ll be bad, but at a certain point quality stops mattering. In my testing I’ve found that Haruna is just as good as any other ship at taking down just about anything that flies. Supersonics not included, and God willing they never will be in normal matches.
And Yamato (and Iowa and Richelieu and Vanguard, etc…) have more and better AA guns than Haruna. No matter which new ship you’ll be in it’s a no fly zone. Do go into detail about it would just be splitting hairs I think.

Perhaps, but i’ve managed to evade ultra heavy barrages of AAA to get bombs off before with something like a Wyvern, but never if its something with HE-VT.
