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

80 bofors, 20 5in, 49 oerlikons

doesnt get much better

especially for the hamsters

but yeah in terms of sheer AA volume, it doesn’t get better indeed

I’m not too bothered for Iowa’s firepower (or speed, for that matter)

Armor, just like Richelieu, is the part that bothers me, especially on the small maps we are currently playing on, and considering Iowa’s were supposed to use their fire control over longer distances, if i remember correctly

@Smin1080p_WT Are more rank 8 air premiums coming for other nations this patch?

Hopefully not.

but I was hoping for a Greek Iced phantom…

bombs already nerfed. a 5000kg bomb drop 1-2 two ship widths away can hardly do any damage to even destroyer

idk if that counts as nerfed or just literally not modelled at all

honestly speaking just a normal damage model change as always, but it do makes PE-8 and Lancaster useless in navy mode.

You cannot ensure as 57 mm HE-VT developed after Jean Bart decomissioned.

Perhaps we should enhance the damage of high yield bombs (1000kg-3000kg)
At least allow the 3000KG bomb to have a radius as large as point A

that change only influence navy.
ground explosive change was longer ago, which makes big rocket like S24 or 50/100kg bombs hard to use.

… top tier yeah…
But not everything is about top tier.
France is still lacking lots of unique-domestic equipment.
Especially around rank 2-4, being mostly just C&P for the ease of it.
Despite France having so much available options to fill these gaps.

Don’t get me wrong, the exact same goes for China, Japan and Italy, where C&P low tier fillers are used instead of domestic-unique stuff, despite having soooo many domestic-unique vehicles being available for addition.
The start of the TT is the part where people have to start the grind, if its basically the same as the main 4 TT’s, then why do you want to grind it?

Top tier is getting more C&P too for most nations, thus if you have C&P low tier and C&P high tier, more and more people are not willing to grind the TT, which i totally agree on, since the grind is still awful.

Probably not… still waiting for any confirmation for any long range SPAA for kost nations…
Like the elde is nice, but useless against kh-38 and SU-34 if the airspawn is 20km+ away while having a missle that has a range of 40km+…

Heh, Jean Bart was scrapped in 70 while the VT shell was put into service in 67

If gaijin decides that the compatibility is enough, we might see it, if not, that’s fine : 28x57mm + 24x100mm with fuze shells, all radar guided, will be far enough

Jean Bart commissioned in 1949 and retired in 1961. What are you talking about. Scrapped doesn’t mean ship was in active service, And Swedish development of 57mm HE-VT in 1967 doesn’t mean France immediately purchased it.

Swiss horner supposed to come one.
The heli as well

Yeah, Germany is still on FW190D12, Yak3s for USSR P51s and bear cats for US.

you forgot to read the second part of my message it seems

Regarding the date, i wouldn’t give it too much thought, as it was already reduced to the use of barracks in 1957, decomissioned in 1961, considered for reactivation in 64, and sold for scrap in 70, if we really want to be pedantic.

Friendly reminder that we have a ship that wasn’t even completed in the form of soyuz this patch, VT shells seems quite small in comparison.
In the scenario where those shells don’t appear, so be it, Jean Bart will still be a no fly zone anyway, especially with the 100 mils with HE VT.

Im going to crash out if these leaklists are true, literally every nation with already op anti air is getting even more and better anti air whilst Italy is stuck with a low caliber naval gun (which isn’t bad but like it should be 10.7) and Israel has a bootleg aim-9D

Wouldn’t be surprised is Russia gets S-500, or like buk M3

Gaijin honestly just ragebaiting at this point bruh

Will there even be a teaser on 29.05. If there is in big parts (including where gaijin sits i think.)
Ascensio Domini holiday?
Or will it maybe even come today?
