Quite a few planes have never carried the missiles they have in game
In my opinion, they should change that - just remove the missiles that weren’t carried historically, and then rebalance the brs based on the abilities of the planes with the new loadout…
The best example for that would be trading the early MiG-29’s R-27ER1s that were never carried for the R-73s that were carried and developed conjointly with the aircraft, but there are most likely many more, such as the German F-104G never carrying the AIM-9J (allegedly, it only carried 2 AIM-9Bs under the fuselage and 2 AIM-9Bs/AIM-9B FGW2s on the wingtips: F-104G Starfighter, das G steht (nicht) fuer Germany).
Just a follow up leak from Gzsabi and a map rework devblog.
TLDR of things not included in the other leak:
New helis - AH-64E (US) & Mi-35P (RU Sqn, JP tt via Indonesia)
New ATGMs for Helis - AGM179A (AH-64E, SAL), CM-502KG (Z-10ME, FNF), & LMUR (Mi-28NM, FNF)
New planes - F-16I
New tanks - VT-4 (CN), & CV90105 TML (SWE)
some Boats
TLDR of devblog: Poland (and derivatives, except for the winter/snow version) and Eastern Europe (and derivatives) got a face lift.
Links:
edit: Clarified what version of Poland are getting updated.
quick correction, it seems that the snow version of Poland will remain same for now. Check the comments on the warthunder.com version. Stona_WT says that Poland (Winter) will stay in its current state for now
Why does Gaijin keep locking Canadian vehicles behind a paywall? Like really? You’re adding 3 hornets with two of them being Aussie, why not make one of the two aussie ones a premium instead?
Gaijin thinks Canadians must be rich in this economy. Actually ridiculous.
Just when JP finally caught up with a top tier radar SPAA, it was already DoA compared to other stuff added with greater range like IRIS-T and the worst part is Japan has better SPAA in the form of Type 03 that they could have added.
The more they buff the Rafale the more DOA they make some possibly additions.
Whatever buffs they bring, I hope it’s not to the FM as I think the current FM rankings seem balanced.
Hey I’m in bliss right now with not needing to really hope for something I want every update. I can just relax and enjoy things as they come.
At this point the only thing I want is the Type 03 to shore up the top tier SPAA gap, especially with these newer SPAA being added to every other nation that far outclasses what already exists.
Stingray mostly, I was hoping for a Thai FV101 (with WERA for the lols) so for me personally the update is a bit of a let down, probably pick up the Canadian Hornet to run with the Candats as a terrible line up (+ I like things that aren’t super meta) and grind out the Thai ground, although I’ll probably pass on playing the Oplot, top tier ground doesn’t interest me much. I do hope we get more Thai things, gaijin still has time to do the funny at slip a Thai Scorpion in etc.
I am a chronic name amnesiac, and ships it just gets worse.
So unless I see the ship itself I cannot comment on it, especially since the details I need for ships is more than for aircraft or ground vehicles due to their scale. I can comment on it when dev server’s live tho if it’s present.
For me, as long as CAS is no longer OP regardless of SPAA added, I’m good.
I don’t know if the differences among the top SPAA matter at this time, and I think I get your feelings on the matter.
Despite what people say, I am excited for the M55 (if it comes). I like big guns (T92 when?), and the M55 has exactly that. I do understand people’s frustration with them copy pasting the M55 everywhere though. What they should do in the future is maybe add a domestic vehicle, and then the copy paste is in a folder with it, so not only is it cheaper, but also optional. It allows those who are looking forward to it, to play it, and those who don’t want to grind out the same vehicle several times, to skip over it. If the players are happy, then there will be less complaining (the next oscillating turreted tank to come to the US better be a TT vehicle, or I’ll lose my marbles).
