It’ll still be heavily relying on spikes, which are inconsistent at best.

It’s 30mm will be awkward to use on a chassis as large and less mobile than the Mk.4 Merkavas.

It is what it is tbh.

[Morvran]

Oh right :D Im talking about the Minotaur-class light cruiser

[Firestarter]

sir i regrettably was comparing boats, not a clue

[AlvisWisla]

? No…
AAM-4 is just an AIM-120C equivalent missile at the end of the day.
AAM-4B adds a different radar.

[squidgy4]

Didn’t mean to respond to that lol

[Smugspite]

yeah no I was talking about HMS Minotaur (1947)

[Firestarter]

did u mean the WoWs format with 5x2 152mm Autoloaders?

@AlvisWisla

? No…

And PL-12 is supposed to be an AIM-120C equivalent missile, look at how that turned out.

@efsthecrazy

the Merkava Mk.4s are more mobile then you think, especially with the turret largely gone (it’s still there just much smaller)

As far as i know Namer uses less powerful engine (something 1200hp iirc?).

If that is still the case then it will be par or slightly worse then Merkava 4.

[Morvran]

Ah… Right yeah that thing. Would be funny.

Not sure what the rules are on paper ships when it comes to naval. I think there is more wiggle room that there is for tanks or air

[efsthecrazy]

which for me at least is plenty enough, scouting at a reasonable BR on a vehicle that is at the least somewhat useable? sign me up

[Firestarter]

paper ships are acceptable so long as a boat specific component was built, or it was laid down.

[Lachlann295]

If these are the features and vehicles for the new patch, then the start of the devblog series was disappointing! for all the discussions in the last few weeks, just because the developers misjudged the effort?
Overall, the list of features and vehicles is quite short, so hopefully there will be something that really improves the game mechanics.
I’m tired of being riddled by Russian machine guns and the NATO vehicles don’t scratch Russian and Chinese-made super machines.
Slow start nobody seems to be really happy is my impression

[Panther2995]

Aye aye, get in then :D

[Smugspite]

yeah its the 1947 design of Minotaur and because her turrets were actually built she is technically in the clear for getting added (they were used for the Tiger class)

[長門]

Which is kind of vague and opens up the door for actual nonsense like A-150.

[Morvran]

Should submit a suggestion

[Firestarter]

ah. that’s a no then because the component has to be class specific. hence why we can’t have Montana class rn (sorry that’s me not being clear)

[Morvran]

@長門

kind of vague and opens up the door for actual nonsense

So like naval then :D

@Lachlann295

the list of features and vehicles is quite short,

Leak list never show everything.
