i specialy meaned in ARB, in grb they arent useless they have their job there
MWS?
Not sure on that acronym
Missile warning System?
If all they’re going off of is texes( the way the ingame turk leo appears in the assetviewer ) they wouldn’t have a different model to reference in telling it apart - esp. if again, they don’t have context apart from what they can see.
Texture-only vehicles usually look like this( but tanks are even messier ):
Plus a non-specific filetag to " ID " them. Easy to misunderstand something that 's just called " leopard_2a4_tr " if you’re not familiar already.
That is true but it also depends on how much of the model was completed when the list was made
Ik the Revolution and CAN are quite different looking. This vehicle has been through the ringer from being listed in a previous leak as a Turkish variant to know being listed as the CAN, who’s to say how far it was modelled at that point.
Looking into it, I’m not actually sure if it has the IR jammers found on the Ka-52. It uses the same system for ‘Detection’ but I’ve never seen a source proving that it has IR jammers, unless the sensors we see serve a dual function. The problem is that if you look at the Ka-52, it has dedicated devices on the bottom(the two little swivel balls) that are paired with the detection system and then send out IR jamming beams.
At the same time the Mi-28NM has the same IRCM system in war thunder, but such bulbs arnt present, so maybe there is another source for jamming as well.
There was also a video from a certain conflict that is claimed to show a SM3 dodging multiple Manpands, which would be difficult without such a system, so hard to say tbh. I’m interested to see if Gajjin knows more or what they think

All aspect or rear aspect if it did have them?
Because im seriously doubting theyd add all aspect IRCM to aircraft before they’ve even added IRCM to any other aircraft, not too mention MAWS on quite a few.
the turkish 2a4 skin includes turkish flags and cant be confused for the 2a4can, additionaly even with texture only files it would look like the file of the pl, the turret is completly different
Since the leak said Mutsu at best we can hope for is 1943 Mutsu maybe they dont want '44 or '45 Nagato yet
I’m not sure, but if the system works the same way it does in the Ka-52 and MI-28NM, then it should be all aspect more or less.

Will we get the next devblog?

Then, I relaly hope not, that would be kinda OP, to be totally and completely immune to IR missiles like the Ka-52s are.
I hate fighting the Su-39s in SB because my only usable weapon is guns and Britain doesnt really have gun fighter at that BR
Especially after the BOL nerfs and the lack of MAWS on aircraft.
It has it, just look up Vitebsk-25
dont forget it will be at least 11.7 if not 12.0 or higher if it gets the r77 as well
I’m just guessing here, but since the uv detection camera faces forward and defeats frontal threats and the ircm we have on the su25t and su39 defeat rear threats? or was the ircm we currently have on those aircraft omitted for some reason?
Another interesting thing worth talking about from the leak list Is the Merkavas mentioned. It has an APS system, but not Trophy. It has the “Purple Thunder APS” which is a soft kill system that’s designed to detect incoming missiles and shoot out a smoke screen, similar to the laser warning system on a T-90A. But there’s one key difference, which is that it uses radar to pick up the incoming missiles, so therefore should also be capable of picking up and warning the player to TV and beam riding missiles that a LWS can’t see
I didn’t say it would ? I’m saying the " Leo 2TR " has a strong chance of just being the existing " Leo 2A4(Turkish Armed Forces) skin
Our source is the same one that misidentified( but still managed to accurately predict( eventually )) the world war 1 dreadnought da Vinci as being the much later Littorio. It 's entirely w/in the realm of reason that they could misidentify a Leopard 2 aswell.
Surely Teaser tonight, right?
