Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Scimitar Mk.1,5

It would be M-SPIRE, Warrior got BGTI and so did Scimitar 1 BGTI and Scimitar 1 LEP(?). Scimitar EM235 went E-SPIRE to M-SPIRE aswell.

Gaijin: PERSPIRING

I’ll see myself out.

The files for WT Mobile 's monthly major update are appearing, which will probably go live sometime this week. In addition to the JS Takanami (DD-110) previously found in WIP condition in a recent WT devserver, and the La Fayette stealth frigate which will be Mobile 's first French missile ship, for the techtree-researchable filler ship they will be adding the F126 Niedersachsen

which will be the first in WTM to have not been built whatsoever


Also, they added the file for a weapon called " au_450_torpedo ". Traditionally, the name for a torpedo in WT is composed of three parts: first, a two-letter ISO code for the nation whose boat or ship is planned to be the first to receive it.
Then, the common name for the torpedo, which may or may not include it 's diameter expressed in millimetres or inches, and is not necessarily the same as the name which will be visible on statcards, Xray popups, and killfeeds ingame.
And last, the word " torpedo " itself for sorting purposes or smth.
For example, " jp_324mm_mark_46_torpedo "

There 's not a lot to work w/ on " au_450_torpedo ", since the extended ( ingame-visible ) name has not yet been added, and neither have indications for the vehicle it’ll be used w/. At the least, it does not appear that the number is referring to the diameter, since the measurement units are not expressed.

EDIT:

Also also, the 3rd anniversary of WTM event will be starting soon, as evidenced by some changes to the " battle royale " event gamemode introduced in last year 's version, the addition of commemorative decals, and the time of year.
Last year 's version of the event had the world 's only operational missile-armed ground effect vehicle, Pr.903 Lun, as one of the prizes. This year might also have something similarily out of the ordinary.

They rejected the parliamentary memo, Thales themselves and the physical business quote for the work to be done on the Scimitar for it to get M-SPIRE. I cannot put into words the frustration and how jaded I am. Also hello my fellow Xbox gamer

Theres no satement in the source of which Scimitar upgrade / variant received it.

The other sources are datasheets or technical docs that don’t mention it either. Hence why it was rejected by the BRM.

Evidence must be clear and concise.

Except there is
It specified it is the Formation Recce variant

While i do not have sources allowing to officiallt identify each variant, im sure someone here does.
They are visualy different tho

this is referring to all the scimitars that went to afghanistan is it not? which is the mk2 and some late LEP scimitars with the same Cathrine megapixel thermals is it not?

I posted images of the 2, the first one is Close, the 2nd is Formation, the one we have in game.
Close has bigger sights for both guner and commander

I think @da12thmonkey has something that could help us make the difference clear.

If you do not, and im mistaken, sorry.
If you do, thanks in advance.

his info dump in the comments of my bug report was brilliant and (if given the time to read it) clears up any possible gaps of understanding within my report.

huge amount of respect for da12th, very knowledgeable guy, infinitely more than i am

@Smin1080p_WT Hello. Can you say that abandoning the idea of adding aircraft to the infantry mode is no longer a topic of discussion, or is it still possible to hope that aircraft might be added to this mode?

Nowhere is this specified in the report or made clear this is specifically the Mk 2. Again, ambiguous details must be made clear. It should not be left up to assumption.

is the Scimitar Mk2 in-game a generic “Mk2” where any and all upgrades are applicable or is it a specific model.

If it is a specific model, then can that be shared so sources and reports can be submitted for that specific version.

It is extremely unfair to deny an extremely well researched bug report “because its not the for the speicific version in-game” without actually saying what the specific version in-game is meant to actually represent.

Just feels like another case of selective realism, where the devs have decided that the Scimitar Mk2 should be Gen 1 Thermals and is now just making up excuses to deny any report to suggest otherwise

No plans to speak of right now regarding aircraft in infantry. Its just helicopters now in terms of aviation (if you don’t count the drones).

The version in game is just a Mk 2. There are no spesific upgrades on it. Sources that directly relate to the Mk 2 can be used.

Ambiguity is the reason this report was rejected by the BRM.

Nothing currently, but it remains in the plans.

Okay?

So why was this report denied?
