Was more so referring to the rear side skirt armor so im hoping gaijin at least models that correctly. I knew the front was different

Overall armor its similar to the Leo revolution yeah?

ah i misunderstand you meant the fenders/fairings

Yeah i couldn’t remember the English words lmao, and not like i would say Fenders in Danish lol

Pretty much, you do get a drivers camera but given its FCS it would be put between the 2PL & 2SG, good choice of ammo for the future though since we’re planning on using SHARD on it

Ooh very nice, always loved the look of the revolution and when the 2PL dropped i was happy. I hope we’ll see more of them since i love the wide body Leo’s

Huh, I thought the Indonesian 2A4s all got the same changes as the 2RI aside from the armor, good to know there’s more differences than that.

Still the Indonesian 2A4 would bring the same upgrades to the turret drive, gun and FCS, so for gameplay relevant changes that would at least translate to DM11 for it. Maybe more, but I can see Gaijin not wanting to push the BR for it.

And I hope it would get a unique visual model as well, since looking at the M60A3 TTS it seems to be impossible to report issues like that. The ROC has had the tank for years and it’s not only unchanged, but copied over to another nation that would also need the same fixes.
But at least for the 2A4s we already have a few with unique models so there is hope.

It could even add a (very minor) bit of extra armor

These clips on the turret side are used to hold track pads, the same ones seen on many in-game Leopard 2A4 hulls. There’s also one on the turret front.

Interesting. Plans confirmed for an auxiliary power unit mechanic?

I didn’t even notice the huge cas nerf where bombs on fighters are being treated as attacker SP costs

So uh, what is there to expect in the next update? Any planes perchance?

Ikea is just current Sweden but everytime you spawn in there’s always something missing, whether it is a single round of ammo to missing a track or missing the barrel entirely.

There are a few vehicles we have rumors from the devs/staff on, read my post. Other than that, who knows?

I sure hopw so, the “power system” module just seems like all it adds is artificial vulnerability without adding anything. And all that while defying logic.


“Power System” on the Type 87, consisting of batteries on either side of the engine bay and a generator in the front. If any of these is hit the vehicle can’t fire, move the turret or use the radar.

This means that somehow a hit to one battery renders the other as well as the generator useless

Personally I’d hope to see it split into two types of modules:

  • Power Unit; A generator or APU not tied to the engine, provides electricity when the engine is damaged or turned off. If it’s destroyed, electrical power will only be provided by the engine. On some (mostly SPAA) vehicles like the Type 87 the engine alone also might not be enough to power all systems, meaning the power will slowly deplete.
  • Battery; A battery that stores a set charge, will deplete if the engine and power unit are destroyed. If the battery is destroyed the charge is unavailable.

On vehicles with multiple sets of batteries in different parts of the vehicle they should also be counted as individual modules. If my left track is hit the right doesn’t break, so neither should this be the case for batteries.

Well we know that the devs want to add ESA radars to all TT’s so could be one of them.

Currently the US, Germany, UK, China, Italy, Sweden, and Israel (they do have AESA on the Kfir C.10 but that’s not researchable) are missing ESA radars so most likely we could see something to fill those gaps. But the question is what will they add?

The choices are:
US
F-15C Late
F-15EX
F-16C/D PoBIT
USMC F/A-18C/D 2022 upgrade
F/A-18E/F

Germany + UK + Italy
Eurofighter (with Captor-E)

China
J-10C
J-11D
J-15T/D
J-16D

Sweden
Gripen NG
Gripen E

Israel
A new Kfir with AESA? (I’m not actually sure what they can get besides the F-35I, maybe an upgraded F-15?)

I think there’s a good chance to see one of these next update and most certainly in the December update. But we’ll have to wait and see.

Sounds good

If USA gets the F-15EX then Israel can get the F-15IA which is mostly equivalent

Which post?
