Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Still waiting for the PzH 2000s to receive their missing spall liners, the Hungarian one to receive its correct machinegun, and the shell situation to be corrected as the M107 still outperforms the supposed tier 4 OE F3.
Everything has been reported and the reports on these issues above have been accepted

TOW 2B buff?
Top tier light tank for Britain?
Slava class guided missile cruiser for Naval?

is there a photo?

That’s a bit of a jump isn’t it? Love the ship but God those cruise missiles would be insane.

-_- not being able to see a target 20km off your nose for 6 seconds with your radar means they launch and defend first in a head on. Imagine giving that ability to your jet…for 6 seconds an enemy radar can’t see you but yours can!

Su-30SM should be 14.0 not the 27SM

For sure! Would be cool to see modern Naval as an April fools event to test ships like this :)

would love it, but the US might be screwed, their naval doctrine basically doesn’t have guided missile ships, they all carry a few harpoons but their primary role is air defense for the carrier, US naval doctrine is to sink ships with submarines and aircraft, whereas Russia will happily blow you out of the water with a warship.

P-700 granit is going to be menacing upon arrival

Use your 2000lbs, and some bravery.

you know for a fact Gaijin won’t implement it right, but just the fact that it’s supersonic makes it better than the Harpoon

Very true but lets not underestimate the power of USN Jammers and ECCM. VLS systems on the TICOs can track insane ammount of targets.

Su-30SM has reduced flight performance compared to Su-27SM though.
So I’d say sidegrade to the 27SM.
On top of that I doubt Gaijin’s ready for thrust vectoring flight models.

Because of the canards and vectoring even with the extra weight and less power my money is on the 30SM being the better in close fighter

True, but I do believe it would still struggle against a salvo of Granit or Bazalt missiles, if implemented properly, you’ve got to remember that the USSR designed their later guided missile cruisers to be able to do significant damage to entire CSGs, both the US and USSR knew the US would have the bigger navy, so the Soviets designed ships like the Slava and Kirov that could punch well above their weight, they aren’t to be underestimated

It actually doesn’t make sense cause the new AESA version entered service no earlier than 2021, so even less info.

All of China’s top tier vehicles will be newer than their counterparts, China got to the game late and needed a lot of catching up, Gaijin either have to make do with what they can get, or leave China in the dirt so soon after they started to become worth playing.

It’s a game of odds, VLS on a TICO is 70+ missiles. Slava missile cruiser has 12 Granit/Vulcan missiles. Kirov has 20 Granit missiles.

I dont think it will be as simple as you think. Plus the TICOs are the screen to the valuable ships like the carriers.

Thing is, even if the Tico can avoid being hit 50% of the time, it only has 8 Harpoons to hit back with, and at much closer range, the Kirov or Slava can strike first and strike harder, and the missile defences on the Slava and Kirov are no joke, and with much less to defend against, the Slava and Kirov likely have the advantage
