Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

[Apollo_1641]

Haha yes, Leopard C2 “Boomski”

[StormRyder13]

Err- the RCN Light Cruisers were British.

From the “Crown Colony class” and “Minotaur-class” respectfully.

[Morvran]

Yeah, but HMS Minotaur I dont think actually ever entered service. She was immediately transfered over to the Canadian navy and renamed HMCS Ontario. So She could come as HMS Minotaur or HMCS Ontario

[StormRyder13]

HMS Minotaur spent a full year as an RCN ship before being handed over to Canada as HMCS Ontario.

Launched in July of 43, handed over to Canada in July of 44.

[someweirdname]

and what it do in that year? how many U-Boots did it sink?

[Morvran]

As a cruiser, i doubt many if any.

She also seems to have basically entered service after the war:

Spoiler

@de Radio Demon@live

Due to her too late to take action during the second world war her career would be relatively uneventful, in 1948 she was joined by the destroyers Cayuga, Athabaskan, Crescent and the frigate Antigonish in sailing to Pearl Harbor which was the largest Canadian naval deployment following the war and the following year saw her take part in the largest Canadian naval exercise to ever take place in the Caribbean, this exercise also included American and British naval forces. In 1951 she would be sent overseas again as she took part in another exercise now with the Australian Navy with her journey seeing her make 7 port visits during this, in October she sailed to the east coast where after arrival, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh sailed on the cruiser from Sydney, Nova Scotia, through the Cabot Strait to Newfoundland during the Royal Visit and following this she returned home in December, the following year would see her sent out on a training cruise which saw her sail around South America and during this she made 7 port visits, during this on one occasion when she was entering the harbor at Buenos Aires, the cruiser was overtaken by the merchant vessel SS Arauco and struck amidships, the crew would discover the starboard propellers were damaged after making it to Brazil and the crew removed the outer starboard propeller while the inner propeller, 2 weeks later she would be forced to return home at reduced speed due to the incident.

In June of 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II before in January the following year undertaking another training cruise without incident this time and returned home in April, she would take part in one last training cruise in 1956 before she was decommissioned on October 18th, 1958 and was sold for scraping by a firm on the west coast however due to the fact they did completely scrap the vessel she and the HMCS Quebec were sold for scrap to Mitsui and Co. of Japan in 1960, since then her bells has been preserved as one is currently being held at HMCS Ontario Cadet Training Centre in Kingston, Ontario while the second bell is held by the Maritime Museum of British Columbia.

[StormRyder13]

I mean she didn’t do anything in Canandin service either.

Sailed around the Pacific and took part in a few post-war training exercises.

Oh wasn’t even commissioned until 25 May 1945.

So she saw nothing really.

[Gale_Cleven]

i think should get a “Lieutenant Officer” title after reaching level 100, who’d use it?

[人民英雄聂海芬]

Can you reveal what kind of efforts you have made in which areas?

[Deathmisser]

Well there a leak list with the Benelux sub tree for france so probably Dutch and Belgium Leo’s Packs.

[人民英雄聂海芬]

No one will like play Leopard2 again and again, the game is NOT Leo Thunder, they can move Leclerc S1 to 11.0 without any change(even S2), jap’s TKX(P) is there too, same the M1A1, but they just refuse to do that, beacause they hate France. If they need a 11.3 MBT, just fix the Leclerc as the ISSUEs they already acknowledged.

[Deathmisser]

Well at the moment France got nothing from rank 5 onwards for both ground and air.

France also got 4 lines in air so they will add a subtree in that space.

And use the sub tree logic to add the Leo’s as premiums.

[DirectSupport]

Hope you had a good weekend @Smin1080p

Is there any news regarding reworks on thrust vectoring mechanisms? Is that something we might see in the upcoming major?

To my understanding there’s now open reports on thrust vectoring for:

SRAAM
R-73
MICA EM

[Ruskie_Turtles]

gib f4f ice.

[DirectSupport]

I wonder if ICE featured more chaffs. If not, then only 45 chaffs to deal with spams of fox 3 missiles.

British Pacific Fleet moment

[_MoYo]

they said they won’t change the name, so ig indirect way to say “No”

[_MoYo]

tbh it depends on how gaijin wants the swedish TT to be.(if i am not mistaking a Danish CV9035 was leaked to sweden long time ago) idk what happened.

[_MoYo]

it all comes up to gaijin’s wanting to make more money or not, norway and denmark will mostly be premiums unless sweden is in a literal dire need of an aircraft or a tank or to fill gaps, and when i mean in a dire need imagine the JA37D situation but worst.

[StormRyder13]

They’ve more or less stated that there always needs to be a “Face” nation.

That’s why we had made workaround solutions for some multi-nation trees.

Like the BeNeLux that had the Netherlands as a face.

or my “Pusdo-commonwealth” that was Canada with an Australia/ANZAC sub-tree.
