I honestly hope we get more <9.3 helis. That bracket is actually pretty fun sometimes, but since these helicopters generally aren’t popular outside of that mode we don’t see them added much.

What do you think about adding a saturation/submunition bomb like the CBU-87? (and their equivalents in other nations)
Firing at a good altitude, it can cover an area of approximately 200 x 400 meters. The BLU-97/B rounds can penetrate about 12 to 15 mm of steel, which is not a problem for an MBT but could allow for clearing a forest or a city where light artillery or AA are hiding.
Would be nice if all nations could have a heli with ATGMs below 9.0
Currently Japan and Israel don’t have that luxury
Italy and Japan honestly also should get a better starter heli. Their rocket-only Hueys are miserable

There is no way the game engine and the servers would be able to handle cluster bombs

gaijin has denied cluster munitions as a whole

Gimme BL755.
147 submunitions able to pen 250mm. Tornado can carry 12 of them.
But the servers would instantly commit suicide
(Also cant forget JP233 and MW-1)

They did?
Can’t blame em for that lol
That sounds harmless compared to the MW-1
Gotta play another game for that kind of weaponry
Assuming the mines werent modeled and so it was pure KB-44. BL755 would be waaaaay worse. 1700+ bomblets with 250mm pen vs 112? (genuinely not sure) KB-44 designed for softer targets.
Youd also be waaaay more vulnerable with MW-1 (and JP233) than BL755. though does look cool
What do you think would be more likely to crash someones game, 1700+ bomblets or 4000+ bomblets?
That’s the only metric that matters here
Best science fiction show in the universe! Ive got some nice DVDs
because 1 germany has swiss now and 2 poland has too many vehicles to add to the tree 75% being copied russian stuff
poland plus czech makes it so when you add them you can cut copy slop down by a lot by only adding copied vehicles as filler instead of being the main course so you only add the actually unique modified models
by taking both trees and only adding the unique vehicles you can make a fully unique tree with minimal copy slop

MW-1 has 4000 bomblets?
Most I can find is 112 tubes, i couldnt find any info on how many can be fitted into each tube though
I’ve never understood this issue honestly considering domestic ATGM armed Bell 47 variants exist for both nations.

The recent community update says we can expect a unique self propelled howitzer this update, is this the GBT 155 or is there something else coming to look forward to, such as the hummel or palmaria?
The amount of bomblets depends on the kind of bomblets loaded
A single tube can hold up to 42 KB-44s (Kleinbombe 44, fragmentation and shaped charge bomblets)
The other bomblets are bigger, so the MW-1 cannot fit nearly as many of them
For the other types of bomblets a single tube can hold either:
- 8 MIFFs (Mine-Flach-Flach, anti tank mine),
- 6 MUSAs/MUSPAs (Multi-Splitter-Aktiv, mines with variable timed fuzes and regular contact fuzes; Multi-Splitter-Passiv-Aktiv, MUSAs with additional passive acoustic [anti aircraft mine lol] and magnetic sensors) or
- 2 STABOs (Starbahnbombe, anti runway bomblets)
yeah no one want a fab1500 glide cluster droping like 200 charges in a 3x3km zone.

Ah yeah, for server crashing potential that would be better? / worse? :P
For making GRB mains mad though… BL755 would be better :P

Really shows how neglected it is when other tech trees have more F-16’s than the US
