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

Probably not ? Atleast not for the time being where we’re likely to see twin-arm and fixed launchers.
We’re probably not close to the 20+ ready-to-fire AShM era, and the air threat that justifies the weaknesses inherent to dedicated missile armament designs doesn’t yet exist ingame.

Like this ?

They’ll happen.

We kind of are, just not player controlled ones in all probability: War-Thunder-Datamine/aces.vromfs.bin_u/gamedata/weapons/rocketguns/mgm_140_atacms.blkx at master · gszabi99/War-Thunder-Datamine · GitHub

What is that? Looks like a MiG but I can’t tell past it.

I can’t be bothered mincing my words so i’ll just say that I don’t believe as of current a tree that requires exclusive use of guided missile vessels past the level of an early cruiser is viable.

In the future or in another mode (which would be ideal), they would be very viable

But I don’t see how a Scharn vs a Guided missile cruiser is balanced. Suppose the cruiser could do any damage, then Scharn can’t counter attack because ASHM’s are over the horizon, equally if they can’t scratch them then they end up griefing destroyers or being useless.

SU-17 or SU-22

China does have some cas in those brs, the q5a is quite good, and the q5L is a decent cas if you get the lgbs, they have options for the lower brs awell, as for italy the amx is pretty much one of the best cas at the moment at that br, and the g91y and ys are also decent.
The only one that i would say that it is lacking in cas is japan

Thanks, I suppose that’s a good thing for some Battleships, if DPM is too high they could always rebalance (who am I kidding).

I’d say the AMX and A6E but my personal pick is the AMX, it has a decent load, great missiles and can dogfight. The next best dogfighter at that br is probably the Jag due to the flares (if not Q-5L), but the AMX slaps the Jag in most things but top speed.

Su 22M3, this was originally the meant Syrian one before they picked the Syrian one.

With all due respect, G3 is not that good when placed against something built after the WNT. I do not believe that G3 has favorable odds against anything except for something like North Carolina. Lion though, yes, is a little better than Richelieu and Littorio, but is also newer.

I meant two ships of the Bismarck class and two ships of the H-39 class. H-41 afaik was never laid down, though iirc used the same turrets as H-39(?) so could theoretically be added bringing Germany up to 6 end of line battleships.

You know exactly what I mean. Please stop acting like you don’t.

I misunderstood I thought we were talking about 16-inch armed ships. But that makes no sense as we were talking about France and Italy too, I seem to be losing it today.

You’re right it was never laid. As for the turrets, yes they were to be the same with the 40.1cm gun bored out to 42cm. However the extra turrets were never built to my knowledge nor was the gun built and the shipyards they had couldn’t have accommodated them without extra dredging IIRC.

If the US gets Montana then I wouldn’t be opposed though.

But if they decided to give them it I suppose its a possibility.

i like the AMX more since it can carry a good amount of lgbs alongside its full self defese capabilities, sure the a6e can carry more bombs but if you want to carry a missile and a single gunpod you end up with the same amount of bombs that the amx has, but at the same time it has access to another missile and twice the amount of flares, It is also much more nimble than the a6m

I also prefer the AMX, for pure CAS the A6E may be better but for an overall multirole, the AMX just slaps pretty much anything else at 10.3-10.7.

Ey thats you the third time you make a post about that in like 24 hours. You sussy lil’ tease, is the Hungarian air tree coming this patch and are you trying to be casual about it 😅

Whatever it is, hope it’ll come with a nice premium jet. My Supersonic lahmacun needs a buddy.

Question to any who are knowledgeable on navy units. I have a hard time believing any of the top BR Blue Waters could maintain a accurate beed on something of equal firepower that fire’s missiles as its main weapon. I have the Alaska and I love it (I’m not good at navy at all) but if I’m shooting at something that maneuvers at range it’s very hard to hit…if they had lock and fire missiles that attack from a high angle and just HE my crew to whatever % you can’t man your ship??? GG, now of course even a direct hit with lower caliber gun’s would unmake such a missile ship I would imagine?

Kinda reminds me of the concerns people had on when A2A missiles got added. Turns out it were just AIM-9B’s and everything was fine.

I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to balance it.

I’m not really concerned more doubtful that the modern ships would be easily delt with. I personal can’t wait for modern ships so I can bring in my modern jets and attack them XD CIWS blazing…my ASM screaming in. Working with your squad to multi direction attack and overwhelm their systems :) can’t wait!

Yeah same, long range battles with player controlled carriers in the back, picket lines of missile destroyers firing/intercepting missiles and aircraft somewhere around that dropping anti ship missiles and intercepting cruise missiles with subs sneaking around allover.

Man…modern subs in the mix too would be amazing! ASM erupt from the water for a sneak attack on your ship, or anti air missiles 0_0

Any chance for a nice blog on friday?
