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

[quartas121]

Considering that an Iowa class is rated against 16" AP fire at some range, and said AP rounds go faster than granite missile even at range, while concentrating more force onto smaller surface area, and that the missile body is made of weak metal that will just disintegrate on impact, and that iirc Granit missiles go for waterline area where there is thick armor, an Iowa should be able to tank granit after granit

Yeah that doesn’t say anything about them acknowledging that PL-5E II was an unhistorical addition.

[Morvran]

I think it would depend on what type of warhead it has. If it’s a shaped charge, then I wouldnt be entirely certain it would do no damage. But the question is how much.

I’m also thinking smaller ASMs anyway, like a Type 42 destroyer firing EXOCETs against various WW2 ships in war thunder and how they could be placed “fairly”

If top tier BBs took no damage from them, then they would need to be lower, but if they 1 shot any light/heavy cruiser… Then they become really hard to place.

[quartas121]

It’s just a plain HE warhead, so should be no issue for an Iowa class.

And exocet would do next to nothing unless it hit in certain vulnerable areas

I think they should just do a full separation of cold war/modern and WW2 era stuff for naval, since it’s about impossible to balance the 2 together

PL-5EII is compatible with PL-9C’s PF95W launch rail. Since PL-9C’s launch rail and PL-8B’s launch rail look exactly the same, we can expect it to be compatible with PL-5EII.

WT Mobile just had a fairly major, minor update. Moving from versions 1.11x to 1.12x, here 's some highlights:

Visual effects for ECM

( remember, WTM had the code for split chaff/flare countermeasures 's added before WT did, even though they don’t yet have any aircraft that have CM 's )

Statcard and BG icons for South Korean vehicles

There are also a number of changes to the controls of aircraft carriers, primarily in regard to their airgroups. The full list of changes will be on the appropriate thread.

The regular WT game has also had some additions:

And on the topic of Moments of Valour, remember the Dagger(ARG) and Sea Dart ? I still do.

@Morvran_

Exocet

This one is already in the files:

I’m not inquiring if it’s compatible or not. Perhaps it is compatible with J-10A. Just asking if developers know if it was ever mounted on the J-10A.

[quartas121]

Anything about Harpoons?

[Motherhen357-psn]

Those have been in WTM for eleven ( 11 ) months at this point, so I’m not sure what you’re expecting here.

[quartas121]

I know, talking about Harpoons in wt

[Motherhen357-psn]

Nothing that I’ve seen. Oliviia leaked some ships that use it a few months ago, but I’m sure you’re already aware of that.

[Morvran]

God I’d love ASM gameplay for many aircraft. Given the recent overhaul for naval targeting by missiles. I reckon we could see them very soon.

Though too often things seen in those trailers never come to the game.

Statcard and BG icons for South Korean vehicles

Didn’t WTM just teased the idea of New nations ?

[someweirdname]

yea but WTM is getting all the stuff we want on Regular thunder

they got submarines, Aircraft carriers and F-18s already

[quartas121]

Where f-18 in WTM?

[AblativeKitten]

@Motherhen357

They really need to add a Leopard 1A3/4 at this point, cause I’m not aware of the ADF using any A1A1s lmao

@Motherhen357

I do have to question why the Japanese F-4? Wouldn’t the US F-4E be a better option, considering they where literally leased USAF F-4Es?

@Motherhen357

That’s a fun fictional skin ig? Not aware of the RAAF ever even trialling the Harrier… Why not a Sea Venom or A-4?

[Motherhen357-psn]

@quartas121

Where f-18 in WTM?

Definitely not there yet, the highest aircraft currently ingame is the Vautour ( killstreak in ground mode, not researchable ).
The Q-5A was in the files at one point, but has been removed for the time being.

@AblativeKitten

why the Japanese F-4?

Maybe bc the EJ is a closer visual match to the RAAF 's early standard F-4E 's, w/ no Agile Eagle slats and other equipment. Or they’re just throwing a bone.

@AblativeKitten

That’s a fun fictional skin ig?

Yep, seems like it’ll be the first fake vehicle livery to appear in MoV unless I’ve forgotten something.

[Deathmisser]

This would be a strange one too as most MoV would have a pack unless they are gonna make the MK.II return as one

possibly, I’m just a bit “huh”. Left field ig?

[Deathmisser]

The worse one has to be the Grant like barley anyone plays the US one.
