Interesting…so things that had a working gun and a hull that drives, but not necessarily a turret that works but is mounted to said hull or not made but mocked up, counts? So things like the M48 GAU-8 could be added if there’s no intermediary for it?
its the CS/LS7
Thanks
So apparently the WZ-141-1 Length and width is 4.66 metres long by 2.44 metres wide and the L3/33 is at 3.03 meters and a width of 1.4 meters. This thing is so gonna be deadly once we bush up the whole thing lol
Currently, American aircraft are overwhelmingly powerful in the 6.3–7.0 BR range. They can perform high-altitude vertical dives and drop high-yield bombs that easily destroy any existing German SPAA through splash damage — even from over 10 meters away. Rocket attacks are even more unbalanced; a few rockets fired from over 1 km can effortlessly wipe out moving German anti-air vehicles. Germany’s current SPAAs simply cannot respond to these threats effectively.
To give specific examples:
- The A2D-1 can launch its first strike from over 1 km away, diving vertically at around 600 km/h indicated airspeed, and drop a 4000 lb bomb. The blast radius is enough to splash kill moving targets like the Ostwind II or Zerstörer 45 even without a direct hit. It then escapes unharmed. This attack pattern requires virtually no skill — just altitude and timing.
- The A-1H can carry over 30 Zuni rockets, which can be fired from 1 km away. Even if the impact deviates by 10 meters, the splash damage is still lethal to vehicles like the Ostwind II and Zerstörer 45, both of which stand no chance while on the move. These aircraft don’t need precision or risk; brute force is enough.
Meanwhile, Germany lacks a viable 7.0 lineup. Very few players are willing to queue just for the Kugelblitz, which — despite its high rate of fire — suffers from terrible ballistics, worse than some Cold War missiles. It’s ineffective against fast jets and long-range attackers.
In this context, the Flak 341 is not just a theoretical or low-priority prototype — it is a necessary addition to address a clear, painful gap in the German tech tree. The current state of balance heavily favors U.S. CAS at this BR range, and German players are left without a proper answer.
I heard that the Cheyenne was spotted in CDK material/Datamine material, is this true?
Are there Pictures?
This whole passed for consideration thing is so stupid. For years now several dozen vehicles have just sat in passed for consideration with no updates on whether or not they will ever actually come. The old forums had so many more than what is now on these new forums as well, including my beloved CATTB.
Upon writing this I went to go check how long ago the CATTB was passed for consideration, only to find that you can no longer load the old forums (at least I can’t), I believe the CATTB was passed 5 years ago though.
Not recently, was first seen back in 2021 but removed from the files in 2022.
It was in a leak list though as an event vehicle but not sure when it could come.
Cool, thanks!
when we going to see F14D as updates and upgrades for F14B haven’t been seen in forever F14B is one of the worst 13.0s it gets 9Ls which are mid for 13.0 things as low as 12.3 have them and most 13.0s like F15A have IRRCM AIM-9M or R73 which F14B had but because of balancing reasons or some silly thing it doesn’t get them, just because it has one of the most useless FOX-3 in game its FM is average for the tier and it has the heat signature of the sun to boot. most people say its op because it gets FOX-3s aka AIM-54C which is easy to notch and multipath. not to mention still uses aim-7Ms which are horrible now slower and weaker this most recent update. mind you the F/A-18C early is 12.7 with a better kit with a similar flight model F14A is also same br with worse FM and missiles. The tomcats are popular planes but not as popular as F15A which if gaijin put similar limitations on everyone would loose there mind, mind you F14B is same BR as the very Op SU-33 with 8 R27ERs some of the best missiles in game which are better in game than AIM-54C. Not even mentioning the horrible AWG-9 which gets out done by the radar on F4J. at this point id loose aim54C to go lower br its useless easy to notch and easy to multipath
i made a pole and almost no one is picking F14B/A to prove my point
Any guesses on when the next update will be and what will it have?
Since there seems to be a theme of major overhauls to types of vehicles, I think there may be a decently sized update with focus on helicopters. Or just more jets either is fine for me
Superhornet when
AIM-174 being based on the SM-6 will probably have anti-ship capabilities in-game and maybe the ability to go for stuff on the ground like SPAA. It’s the closest thing to Kh-38MT in speed that the US could get.
Could make super hornet actually good
A2A missile that can go against ships? Count me in (I don’t play naval)
More tanks, planes and premiums. Probably in like 2 months
Just a guess but I reckon we will see the F/A-18E next update. Probably also stuff like the JAS39E and similar aircraft too. Also we know that top tier SPAA are coming for Britain, France, and Italy. I do think though that we could also see some anti-radiation missiles too.
My biggest hope though is a Hawk or 2(ah) since we seem to be getting more armed trainers these past few updates. Also the F-14D I pray we see that soon.
Lucky me for having the 18clate and not having to grind the naval line
im gonna loose my mind if they super hornet before F14D
Then name it as such???
How is it that hard 😭
