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

@Smin1080p_WT i have a question
Community Bug Reporting System why was this bug report accepted as a suggestion within 3h of its creation saying that the leclerc fire rate is incorrect with only a single source while it when people tried to buff the leclercs reload to 5 second its took maybe atleast 2 years with multiple bug reports with 5+ sources until it got accepted and fixed in the alpha strike update (Community Bug Reporting System)here’s the one that got accepted

I find this quite frustrating because i play the tank myself and despite the tank having a great winrate it has a really poor protection against KE rounds even against medium caliber apfsds
Despite having one of the fastest rounds in game at top tier its performance isn’t really good compared to other apfsds used at the br

Again not technically true, we just dont know if the prototype had a stabilizer or not.

They say it could have it, and at 9.3 potentially without a stabilizer will make it very difficult to use.

[Morvran]

Are those Brimstone 1s or 2s?

Mytho means Brimstone DM (I.e Brimstone 1s)

[Mytho-GR1]

Brimstone Dual mode was only ever used on the Tornado GR4

@AlvisWisla

The F-16I will be significantly more performance than the F-16C.

Except it won’t be superior though, this was talked about yesterday.

[image] [image] [PW 229] [GE engine] Just for the ones who dont know, the F-16I use the same PW 229 you can find in the Ra´am in simple terms it have worse engine than the D Barak II Blk 40 and thats not all we need to take in consideration the fact that it would be a bad percentaje of channel loss present thing that affects the power output soo… this engine would likely make a little bit less engine power being installed in the sufa, overrall in performance would be a worse F-16D dont expe…

[Caernarvon02]

theres no whataboutism in the addition of the Ram. We arent ever getting a TT grant, gaijin made that clear many times prior. we got the excelcior instead of T14 as that was our own design in that project.

@KhorneFlakez1337

Covenantor

id love to see the covenanter, however the radiator endlessly dying because its got a cooling layout like my sports car would get annoying

@KhorneFlakez1337

Centaur

literally just a cromwell with a liberty engine, would be quite dull must admit

as for everything else, it may be here one day. they are all welcome. I personally want to see the Sexton more than anything you mentioned, oddly enough thats a Ram hull (some were also grants) and was only used by british/canadian royal artillery batteries

[Morvran]

Yeah, exactly.

Though it does mean that the AH-64E would probably end up with the same

[БрИт4нСкUй_П0дС0С]

They don’t need it. Their missiles better.

@AlvisWisla

F-16 is not a heavy fighter. Saying F-16 is a heavy fighter is pure hatred and lies.

F-16I is heavier than F-16C B40
Thanks to CFTs and the avionics spine
Plus, CFTs and spine give F-16I the appearance of heavy jet

[KhorneFlakez1337]

I feel like at 9.3 that thing would be pretty strong ngl

[noobnooby657]

welcome to the warthunder bug report system. ill say it over and over again. gaijin isnt interested in fixing things because theyre wrong, theyre interested in fixing things when its convenient to them.

see: the su27

[noamax]

Rly? The big ones?
So how does it feel so big?
I swear there is more time before u engage the enemy in thos maps

[AlvisWisla]

Static thrust does not matter.

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

You won’t know if the engine is worse or better until it comes to the game. Next gen IR missiles are coming with gen 5 aircraft. @KhorneFlakez1337 He doesn’t know if the engine will be worse or not. In-game the PW-229 produces as much thrust than the GE-129 used on Block 50, but they’re also on different platforms where F-16 has less channel losses for its intakes compared to F-15. The PW-229 produces 2500kgf more thrust than the GE-100. GE100:

Spoiler

<a class="lightbox" href…

PW-229s will be producing ~14,000 - ~18,000+ kgf from 700kph through mach 1 due to the lower channel losses in F-16s, compared to 12,300 - 14,500kgf of GE-100 engine.

@TyphoonCro
CFTs are removable.

[Morvran]

Brimstone 2s would massively outrange Hellfire if both were limited to SAL.

if they add MMW, then both would have the same MMW missiles the JAGM

[Pheonix_RX01]

On 90% of close range city maps that i play on eith japan at 9.3 nty, i could handle no LRF, but not having a stabilizer fighting against 10.3’s and im the size of a house is just gonna be miserable especially given no thermals. Its a worse IKV 91-105 at that point.

[noamax]

Well if the spawn are close then its not rly a big map
Like idc about the space after my spawn its pretty much useless

[TyphoonCro]

@AlvisWisla

CFTs are removable.

IRL yes
But in game, it is yet to be seen if they will be removable or not

[KhorneFlakez1337]

Yeah, for CQC it would suck a bit, no denying that, but on long range maps it would have potential, even without a LRF

[Smugspite]

at the end of the day it doesnt really matter as they are just place holders (they really should swap them out for 2s tho)

and for the ATASK the one photo i can find is it being trailed on a US Apache because most testing for Apaches are done in the US on US versions even if the US has no intention of using it

[noamax]

Why not?
Like f15i/e
