Could we get more T-54/55 as that is THE most produced tank of all time, and a cold war icon
The swedish thing teased in the dev blog only uses the IRIS-T SLS, which is pretty much limited to 12km range against a not manouvring target. So all CAS has to do is stay outside of 10-12km and don’t fly in a straight line.
AH-56, no matter how bad it’ll likely be in WT, is at least somewhat unique.
still waiting for F-14D announcement gonna end up like EAP
How new is type 625e?
thing with YAH-56 is itll be a high speed TOW flinger, flies at something like 240 mph so the entire strat with it is hit and run
Seldom have I seen such a lethal hopium overdose.
With how meh TOWs are, I doubt it will have high success rate.
Also it will fight against SPAA systems significantly newer than it. manpads and even early sams will make quick work of it.

that might be a bit hard tho with the FnF missiles more or less only get a proper lock at 13km (depending on weather and stuff)
it might be really good for intercepting ordinance tho, with the IRIS-T is also designed to intercept missiles (A2A version)
true, however with speed does come quite alot better ability to position to do hit and runs and better escape SPAA
Couple of years.
Still gives you a ~3km window (assuming you are evading and thus drain the missile of enough energy limiting the range even further).
fair, although iirc the swedish thing only has 4 ready to launch missiles. so it’ll be the classic case of overwhelming it if it can’t get to a cap.
It’s still a good addition, don’t get me wrong. However these are not the game changing highly needed SAM systems that top tier need, they feel more like sidegrades to already lacking systems.
well iam mostly interested how the IRIS-T is going to perform on it because we are going to eventually see it on aircraft as well
I respect the judgement of lots of guys in there, but it’s just pure speculation and hypothesis.
Unfortunately we will simply see what happens.
and I cant think of a better/fairer way of testing them than adding a SAM with them.
If they added them onto aircraft, everyone would have to get them, but in ground it doesnt matter if they are too strong nor does it matter if only a few nations get them initially

It is a win win situation, because Gaijin can indeed also test how missiles like these perform in the game before afding them to planes too early.
I’m still not sure if I’m now more or less excited for the next update. I’m curious, but have the bad feeling that this could be another rather boring update for ground players.
Im assuming / desperately hoping that the new map is an EC map. If it is, that right there makes this a good update in my books, especially if they dont screw it up.
After that, im just hoping the SHar work they started last major update gets finished and the CAPTOR-M gets added to the Typhoon.
Only thing im fearing is them adding Yamato and Bismark to 7.0 naval and leaving everyone else with what they have currently. could be… messy

are there really any major MBTs left to add
because i feel like if it isnt top-tier gaijin will not bother to add it
