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

Qing 6 is really neat to hear, hopefully it’ll be the first researchable turboprop aircraft. And if it 's not, I’ll be sad.

But not as sad as I would be if I didn’t know that the Be-6 has an unused PRC camo, which could be used to create a researchable flying boat for the CHN techtree in it 's stead


Regarding the advanced Thai F-5 's,
The SCU, currently the only researchable version, has unused loadouts for AIM-9M and unused nodes for underwing Python 3 's

The F-5TH ( Third Capability Upgrade ) is capable of carrying even more advanced missiles than it seems we’ll be getting this update, too.

Something that 's been on my mind for awhile is the original camo that appeared on the first Thai F-5 that came to the game:

Which was replaced w/o explanation during the devserver.

Something I’ve considered for awhile is that it could come as a different-appearance copy of the sqn FCU, or as a base model F-5E w/ 2x AIM-9P, to maintain the provision for a lineup in Ground modes if the SCU/TCU get their more advanced AAM 's, which then displace them to higher BR 's.

Four nations will have effective SAMs, shouldn’t be much of a issue.

or you know,
just fix the spyder.
no i-derby-er, no aesa radar (what?), python 5 unstable flight, Spyder can launch rockets not only in 90 degree angle, and missing radar scanning to about -25 degrees,
Python 5 still lacks it’s data link as well so it’s range gets butchered, and so on

People are getting 12km range in the Elde? Thats definitely a record lol

Thats more than usual when it comes to nations having something effective lol

Thats gotta be when launched in a custom map from max alt, most ive seen the Elde could reach was maybe 9

@Smin1080p_WT
Hello Smin, I am here regarding the SPYDER problem, We the Israeli community feel betrayed by Gaijin
, Why? We have waited Years until Gaijin has added a SPAA to the Israeli Tech Tree, BUT When it was added it does not have its promising features and lack a lot of accuracy. We waited around 3 years it was? Till gaijin has added The SPYDER but then Gaijin adds it with incredible amount of bugs and we the Israeli community feel betrayed. And as for you know there are rumors about Buk m3 being leaked
and buk m3 has a 70km~ range mean while the israeli SPYDER struggle at 15 km due to inaccuracies in the missile and lets not start on the radar. Could you please address the situation?

Ive hit 10km on a drone and at max 6km on a Su-34 flying low, the Elde again just lacks equivalent range to most 11.x sams and is more comparable to a 10.7 sam with a FnF function as the missiles will still miss targets randomly because no DL

Yeah its one of the most overtiered SPAA in WT history probably

Least amount of missiles, gimped radar, terrible mobility, least amount of range. Clearly Swedish Bias exists still lol. Its definitely just compression it and the Type 81 should be far lower but gaijin decided the gap between a 9km max SPAA and a 40km SPAA should only be 1.3 lol

The bigger problem is gaijin saying this is acceptable as if they actually added a proper SPAA so this gap in performance will sit there for years unfortunately.

Hopefully this one will have APFSDS

To me the Elde feels and sounds like a worse ozelot with more Gs and slightly more range just cranked up 2.3 BRs higher (we will just ignore its mobility too, if one can even call it “mobility”)

To me the elde seems like gaijin didn’t bother trying and added a 400k rp sink at 12.0 and called it a day.

Seems about right ngl

It never has used it, in theory software side it should be able to for sure since aster 15-30 use the exact same base only the engine are different, but it’s not clear if it could even fit to be launched.

I mean they “Fixed” the mobility they said they did. Its fixed.

F-5TH requires 3D model changes.

I meant the unused slash disappeared FCU as a copy of the squadron FCU, not a more advanced one.

I generalized a bit too much lol, I’m also already lucky to get more than 10km range out of the Spyder.

Except that it is highly likely that 2-3 of them will be in the same team a lot.

Then you have to hope the nations with good spaa actually pull it
The amount of times ive had to pull the type 81 (11.7) out because our SLM players wouldn’t pull it makes me wanna pull my teeth out
