Yeah this is one of my more controversial takes but I would prefer them to surge ahead with ships like Bismarck, Vanguard/KGV, Richelieu, Nagato etc and decompress to somewhere like 7.7 so that the 6.3+ environment is a little more balanced.

It’s a huge jump but its been like 2 years since scharn was added and still she has no true counter.

But I see where you are coming from, Germany for example has 2 Bayern class ships, these were literally made to counter the R and QE class from the UK and yet not one of the 10 possible ships are in-game when the bayerns were historically better.

Alternatively, I’d want to see Britain receive the R and QE class, Russia receives its loaned R class, Japan Mutsu, France Dunkerque/Strasbourg and Normandie, Italy Francesco Carriocolo. But only if they could do this before the end of the year.

So best thing to do is give them Bismarck ? xD

Bismarck has a thinner belt, I’d also want her at like 7.7 and with a counter of Richelieu, KGV or preferably Vanguard, Mutsu, etcetera.

If im not mistaken i think Nagato class would be a step up in armor design…in particular around the magazine but my knowledge is limited

Don’t know how I missed this. The Kamov menace grows!

The belt is on the thinner side but i think the barbettes are very thick, i’m just basing that on what i’ve seen from the Japanese speaking side of the naval player base, when I saw the leak featuring Mutsu I didn’t see anyone saying it would be broken.

Perhaps in a pre-reconstruction armour scheme at first and then a later armour scheme too.

Admittedly im not so sure. @長門 may know more

Yeah I saw this, I’ve been searching for a video of the starstreak missile slapping a Ka-50 when it impacts its tail so it can be bug reported or disputed or something.

Because it should be a kill? Or because the Starstreak was credited with a destruction?

i see it as a nerf

I’m sure IRL Kamov can’t flight peacefully without the tail…

I know dual rotor and such, but tail is still part of the heli, and center of gravity should change or something if tail is lost…

Because it should be a kill, the thing literally fell out of the sky.

I mean I guess, it encourages the SPAA player to keep going, but I see it as a possible buff, may not have to sit at the helipad for 01:45 to repair XD

I’ve seen two videos now from the thing happening in the country over somewhere that we can’t talk about with missing tails flying back just fine. Afaik, the Ka-52 has a flight computer that keeps it stable in flight.

The 29 is certainly balanced even with it’s tail, yawing just becomes more difficult, but not impossible.

Congrats you destroyed my tail? Lol.

I’ve seen pictures of French jaguar taking a missile hit in the engine during gulf war and could come back to the base, but somehow only Russian planes and Heli have superior survivability :p

Wish Tigers heli got reduced signature for missile lock, things they have with their materials also

But somehow only Russia got things like that.

Résumé

"In January 17 1991 during the first Gulf War (aka Operation Daguet for the French or Desert Storm for Americans) 12 Jaguar A took off with the mission to destroy a SCUD depot in Al-Jaber. Each of them had 250kg bombs, Beluga cluster bombs, EW pod and for sole defense a Magic II.

The bombing run was successful but 4 of them were hit by anti aircraft fire. One had its cockpit glass broken, another damaged flight controls and a third had an internal oil leak.

But the most damaged out of the three was A91 after a direct hit from a SA-7 Grail MANPAD destroying the engine and damaging right wing controls. Thankfully they all managed to get back to base. The A91 was not repaired as the damage was deemed to extensive.

The plane officially joined the museum collection as of today."

First devblog season of the first major update this year later than first devblog season last year

And I don’t know gaijin delay first devblog season in the first major update because ?

Actually it can, but the pilot has to compensate for the loss of tail. Its not easy to do.

Yeah, but IRL it would quickly go land somewhere or attempt to go back on base, not staying perfectly still and yeeting missiles everywhere, isnt it ?

Doubt it would be considered still operational for the fight.
