Forget hopium, need some air conditioning

weird way to spell dedicated nuclear bomber that has comparable wing loading to mig25 and tornado

Some vehicles have AC

PT-91M does 👀

Isn’t it just the Elde but no trailer? Not that I care much, Swedish tree peaks with the 9040s so that’s where I stopped.
Scorpion would make my week though.

Leo 2HEL too 👀

Vehicles do yes, not houses

What

Britain, a lot of our cars have Air Conditioning

Our houses (for the most part) do not

Italy and France lack effective air defense vehicles around the 8.7-9.3 tier; the AMX-30 SPAAG has had its APDS removed, while the Sidaam’s main ammunition load consists mostly of HE with very few APDS rounds, and it lacks search radar. The ZSU-23-4 is also largely ineffective in this role. These two nations should receive the Oerlik

on twin-barreled 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, just as the United States received the XM246 (even though the U.S. already has the M247). All these vehicles could use existing in-game vehicle models.

By the way, the AMX-30 SPAAG also lacks a stabilizer and IFF system, and its actual cannon accuracy is quite poor as well.

Living like its the 50s huh

To be honest, I’ve seen this image several years ago, and no one knows its origin. If we assume it’s photoshopped, then France introducing a 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun from a specific country isn’t actually difficult.

Historic change btw
And Italy is fine In the aa game

IIRC, the Leclerc with a Gepard turret never actually existed in real life. Apparently, it was a very well-made photo edit intended to showcase possible alternative uses of the Leclerc chassis for potential export customers. A better real world example would be the Dutch Cheetah PRTL (since they are the subtree for france), which was essentially a Gepard with upgraded radars and access to FAPDS-T ammunition. There was even a version equipped with Stinger missiles like the gepard 1a2.

As for the Italian QF-40 with the Gepard turret, that one did exist. fun fact, it used a Dutch Cheetah turret shown by the dutch radar rather than a standard German Gepard turret, meaning it featured the improved radar suite and different smoke grenade launchers.

If it were a few years ago, I would admit that the Sidam is a very useful SPAAG, but now, it can’t compare to any twin 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. I would rather use the ZSU-23-4 than the Sidam.

The German one should already have this and there’s a open bug report for it

Pruttel my beloved
