I personally give it a 50/50 chance that we get upgraded hull armor. We’ll find out soon enough.

Without the autoloader that new 60mm tank is just so forgettable imo.

I have caught myself multiple times already that I completely forgot it’s existence in game.

Thai Armed Forces Day is close, it’s a perfect opportunity now

Yes this is the perfect update to add the VT-4,

Closest update to Thai Armed Forces Day and also being added together with the M1A2T which then softens the reason for a certain group from complaining. No tech should be bard from being added just because a handful can’t move on from 80 years ago from anywhere or any time. That not how tech additions worked in the past and it shouldn’t start now nor should be privileged to an only vocal group just because they’re a wee bit upset.

This would probably be the only way to make the Super Hornet interesting and to give it something going for it.

Would be funny (in a bad way) to see Gaijin repeat the F-14 situation lol

Yeah, although I don’t think it would be as bad. The F-14A at the time had great flightperformance compared to it’s counterparts.

The 18E almost falls out of the sky compared to it’s counterparts even when not carrying any weapons.

Dunno, when the F-14A was introduced there also weren’t airspawns for all planes on all top tier maps lol

The sad thing is they contradicted themselves in the response about armor by saying there were Swedish DU tests, negating most of the article lol it just gets tiring after a while. At this point I’m just okay with a turret ring/bulkhead fix so one shot doesn’t stop all hope of returning fire.

If there hadn’t been a public release to the Swedish armor tests i feel gaijin would’ve given the abrams even less armor lmao just to make people mald

I love my subsonic strike aircraft with an oddly good self defence loadout.

Isn’t that crazy though, that you’re not far off? Like the fact that there were even TRIALS for export of DU suggests that the linking documents that are public should’ve been more than enough to link up the use in production abrams tanks. Not to mention the obvious weight changes, and first hand knowledge from a person that WORKED on the tanks and was featured in an official War Thunder article.

I just want to feel like I’m playing the super hornet mission in battlefield 3 again, that’s all lol

Which will still be a more or less worsened rafale.
If both of those are put to 14.7, I dont see why not?

AESA EFT with Meteors and IRIS-T could quite easily be a full 1.3 BR difference material from the current one at the very least.

Although we all know it will likely be just 0.3 or 0.7 BRs apart lol

Just put both 0.7 BR above any other plane I would be happy.

But we all know they won’t do that.

Yeah 0.7 no shot, but raising max br by 0.3 isnt unheard of with the coming of new toptier stuff. So might as well.

Also dont forget, even if its just 14.7 that would mean 13.7 planes, of which there are tons, will see no more than 4 14.7 planes plural, not specifically rafales. Currently I often see those in 6-9(!!) range, they are just that mainstream by now. So thats a big plus if you ask me.
