Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

isnt the PL12 under performing how it is supposed to be IRL at BVR shots?

Downtier for the Ram I would basically have it work somewhat like a Heavy tank due to the trolly armour layout.

Uptier, eh, you’d have to use what decent speed you have and try and flank, or dedicate to a support role for your teammates.

3.3 would be weird, as the Ram II ‘B’ is 3.7, so that literally the BR under the Ram II in-game.

3.0 might make some more sense, 2.X likely means it’s going up in BR.

Or it’ll be like a Churchill (Maus feels wrong, mostly as the gun is good), good armour, bad gun(for the BR). However, as a cruiser tank(medium), it should be mobile, which should make the gun less of a problem, unlike the heavy tanks.

The first devblog season not bad

1st devblog season it’s Tier II

Might be 1 or 2 weeks

Interesting didn’t know that (it doesnt even remotly look like it), it looks closly like the CV90 we tested (still isnt a match) and I am not even sure if that was an MK. IV or some upgraded MK. III

With the Ram I being Rank 2, would make more sense to move the Ram II to Rank 3.
In my opinion

Sentinel with 2 pdr is 3.3 I think, I guess it will be the same.

Edit it’s 3.3 in AB, 3.0 in RB

It was the MK.IV chassis, we have the specs for it, its supposed to have the 30mm with the LWS and hardkill APS, gaijin didn’t want to add the tested CV’s abilities so made up some figure so it weighs 38t with paper armor which was accepted but as armor is a suggestion to the devs it means CV90’s are vastly underperforming or essentially suffering from Merkava syndrome

That would be nice. I’d love to use it to unlock events/BPs and decals(more so the decal side)

Ah, ya. 3.0 RB, does sound much better than not a BR apart, do you find the second armour layout of the Ram II.

Where do people imagine placement for the Ram would be?
I feel like it’d go with the other Cruiser tanks, so would be after the Crusaders, but before the Cromwells.
Would also make sense if it does have a 3.0 BR.
With the Crusader II being 2.7 and the Cromwell V being 3.3

Honestly given the tech linkage, I kinda see it foldered with the Sherman II, being the front runner of the folder.

Without Britian Tax.

2.7-3.0

With Britain tax probably 3.3

These are the pics of the tested CV90, you can tell that this doesnt seem right to be the one they based the in game one on

Its close but not the same

Yes. That’s why I said within how its currently modeled. I meant its underperforming tho i didn’t make it very clear

Line 1 does seem right, but at the same time, only the AA line isn’t 3 vehicles long, so it’ll end up in a folder somewhere most likely.

Err- What tech linkage? Both haveing the M3 MT as a common ancestor? That is the only thing linking the two.

Tho the Sherman is the only thing not in a folder, but going for 3.0 - 3.7 is weird. But I guess there are worse ones.

Its a similar E turret and the chassis fits so yeah id say its definitely what they went with and made their own changes too.

Yeah I could see that, but the ones we orderd look quite difrent so you know, when you say the czech variant I picture the ones we orderd

I wouldn’t expect the ER version though.

Why not?

Its the same range as the IRIS-T SLM. But weaker because its ARH and not IIR

Because the SLM was clearly an exception due to FOTM. So unless you believe that Britain will get this update’s FOTM vehicle I wouldn’t set the SLM as a standard.

Go check the ranges of the other new AAs, both max and effective ranges.
