Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

It’s more Dutch low tier, Belgium high tier for air and vice versa for ground.

The Dutch need some high-tier air and low-tier ground additions; well, the Belgians need some low-tier air and high-tier ground additions.

@Smin1080p_WT When it comes to ww2 and its basic shell types like, ap/aphe/apcr and basic heat, these are not treated as balancing factors, right? So if a vehicle had smoke/ apcr, and historical documents prove it, then there is nothing in the way of the specific vehicle receiving its historical shell types ?

Shell selection is always down to the discretion of the devs, subject to balancing decisions. But suggestion reports are always welcome for new shells.

If its not something currently planned or is as intended, the devs generally answer as such.

Smin, I know it’s rather early, but is there a chance we might see the Community Update post next week? Or is it still too soon?

Yeah bouth of these vehicles were a sad addition wich could have been bedder if they added at least some wood/sticks/bags to them if they didnt bother moddeling them coorectly.
on this account they could have thrown in the M901 aswell to give Japan a Proper ATGM Launcher in this area,despite Thailand only ever used the improved M901A3? variant.

On the topic of HESH rounds, is there a plan in the works to make HESH shells overpressure more reliably? The squash head shell for the FV4005 has a TNT equivalent of 21.75 kg but only reliably overpressures when it hits a track.

DM63 has the same penetration capabilities as DM53. And, as far as I’m aware, DM73 uses the same penetrator as DM53/63, just with slightly higher muzzle velocity. KE2020Neo (I presume that’s what you mean by ‘DM83’) is the only one which will have a noticeable upgrade in penetration.

Yeah its something about having less chances of detonating when being hit? from what I remember

@THEPolishThunder @Dontkev-psn

Does someone know how much pen DM73 and DM83 have? Because i’m wondering why we don’t have them ingame yet despite the OP Russian ERA.

Check this thread out

I mean, there is only a limited amount of real vehicles that can be added, so in theory additions like that are unavoidable

The question is whether War Thunder will keep running for long enough for that to happen

Iirc it is slightly lower as the dm 53 in game is 1750m/s vs 1720m/s from the dm 63
