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

At the moment, we can say for sure that a new US jet coming to the game will have it. Beyond that nothing is fully final at this point in time.

That profile picture looks terrible.

Gaijin, idk who you contracted for this but i’d love to take a peek at their artstation to laugh my ass off.

Didn’t even bother cleaning up the text on the book (why is it a book??), jesus christ.

Yes and no. Most auto cannons can’t destroy things frontally, this is why they are typically mounted on mobile platforms. The LAV-25 has a top speed of 60mph I believe, so you would be using that speed to get around the enemy, not face them. We have a light tank at 9.7, 9.3, 8.7, 8.3, 8.0, and then there is a gap to 7.0. The idea would be to fill that gap, and provide a play style not yet found in the US TT.

I don’t like the idea of limiting a vehicles capabilities for the sake of putting it somewhere. I 100% understand why you would do this if you genuinely had nothing to put in that space, but there is also 100% another vehicle that would be as capable as an LAV-600 with fewer ammunition choices, without removing from its capabilities, that the US developed.

If your talking Enlisted that’s developed by a different company published by Gajin since it uses Gajin assets

Ignoring my question 🥲

Looks to me pretty much identical.

200 vs 230km iirc

Best sources for the ECRS at the moment is just 200+, so in-game its 200

Iırc they nerfed the JAS39E’s radar range to 180km.

Hmm… In that case it would be less, i thought it was still 230

Nah i remember it was reported and got fixed pretty quick during dev server, when it was first added it was better than CAPTOR-E tho.

I thought the best available docs for the Raven (I think thats the right radar name?) was 230km.

Interesting

I have the feeling that top tier ground stuff has pretty much been abandoned, or rather that the few noteworthy things that remain are being preserved for as long as possible. Not even copy paste stuff like SLOP V3 or BVM obr.2023 gets added.

Watch how they gonna butcher EW suites on both JAS39E and EFT cause they will not believe that Europeans can actually make one of the best EW suites :D

Gotta wait for the M1304 to finish development ig, they showed off one with ATGMs but it’s not the fielded variant

Ammunition has been limited on plenty of other vehicles as a balancing measure, so in the context of War Thunder I don’t see an issue.

Yes, in theory you can take an autocannon vehicle onto the flank (map dependant), but this is only viable if you’re playing against tunnel-visioned players. Anyone competent will know these routes and be watching.

The M3 Bradley is at 8.3, so are you wanting a LAV-25 at 8.0 or even 7.7 where it can fight late WW2 tanks and unstabilised Cold War vehicles?

Of course!, there is no way Leonardo or SAAB can build anything on-par with 1980 ish era soviet ECM

Blink twice if the SEPv3 is coming this major

Meanwhile in real life JAS39E and EFT flies like dedicated Jammers :D
