unrelated, my man i played something like 35-40 matches since update at 12.7 with M1A2T (goat tank btw) and i swear to who you want i didn’t see yet a SINGLE french EMBT, not even for mistake, it feels like they didn’t add it in this update XD

not a single soul playing that mf

I think I have seen about 4-5 at most, which is good. The less the French one gets played the better.

I have seen the German one more often. Even ran into someone from the forums twice spading their German EMBT.

You have to grind through the Dutch leopard line to unlock it AND you have to sacrifice a crew slot that could have a Leclerc, the EBRC, SPAA, or CAS to use it, and that’s a hard argument to make

I’ll eventually get it, but I’d rather go grind more of another nation than focus on that line of the French tree TBH

This 100%. This is my personal French top tier lineup and there is not a single tank in there that I can justify replacing with the EMBT.

Each case is different really and depends on the conclusions of the developers after review. Balance factors may also be a consideration. So its not an automatic given.

a peak lineup, after m1a2t i’ll do the obj 416 and after maybe the EMBT, but that’s like saying “if i have a spare beer left for”

But what if both planes are equal, one is in game an is balenced with its 6 missels, but the other exsact olane just operates in irl 2 missels. Would it still get full 6 missesl to be balenced?

Hi @Smin1080p_WT with the fix on the Hellenic Sabre will we see an immediately drop on br or we will have to wait for the next major rebalance? Specially at 9.3 in ASB its like a joke with such a weak engine.

As I mentioned:

An “immediate” drop is not currently planned, however we are monitoring feedback on it and the developers will be watching its statistical performance closely in case its need of adjustment.

Why was AARGM-ER Mach 4 launch parameter changed to Mach 1.8 at 12km when the Super Hornet cannot even reach 1.6 with weapons

@Smin1080p_WT

Hi, are you guys planning to fix the radar glitches? The radar doesn’t show if missile is in iog or pitbull.

And non-cyclical switching has an elevation glitch.

That’s not how that works.

@Smin1080p_WT this is going into your area since it was mentioned

But Chicken you would need to prove those pylons are functional and can still launch missiles.

For example the F-35 which the Austrian Drakens take after do not have the ability to launch missile from the other stations, yes there is the Musuem photo of it carrying 4x missiles but balance wise you’re asking for a physically impossible attribute with the modified rails.

This config is not possible, you’d need the flight manual and need to show that the ability to use those pylons for missiles is still possible.

Only this missile config is possible

I could prove that the swedish prototype J35Fs could mount EMFCD but only because one prototype from us got that ability and was sent back to Sweden. Basic integration would be up to the devs and at that point that vehicle is different from other J35Fs, same about pylon, we can mount missile on our Drakens but there’s no evidence that the connections for firing them remains on other stations.

Most of us grinded the French tree for the Leclercs, and not the unexciting Leopard variants that had been present in the German tree since 2018/19/20, so many of us didn’t really grind that line;

In my case, I only started slowly grinding it a few months ago, once the Dutch leopard 2A8 had been unveiled.

EMBT is an interesting addition, but I never expected it to be placed in the BeNeLux line of all things… still better than the Vextra line, I guess!

Still, I’d have to grind half a 2A5 and yet another 2A6 just to finally be able to grind EMBT… all while Leclercs are still underperforming and the Ground grind is notoriously slow even with Premium account.

I would have hoped for them to folder 2A5 and 2A6 to make the grind more viable, but as of now, I am in no condition to grind like a second job anymore.

If I am to grind EMBT, it will be the German one I already have access to; and even then, as long as it’s limited to O*L F1, I am… not in a hurry to get it.

But the developers are overlooking the importance of their change Smin. The finally realized it’s based on the Mk.4 (yay!), but now it’s at the same BR as the Mk.6 at 9.0 ARB??? How does that make sense? Surely they realize an immediate change is necessary, it’s just become the worst Sabre in the game overnight.

It needs to have its sidewinders removed and share the same BR (8.0 ARB) as the other Mk.4 ingame here:

( Which should also be called “F-86E” btw, as can be seen with this brand new bug report Community Bug Reporting System , parity between these two aircraft should occur, they are identical )

the developers need feedback to decide if an 8.0 vehicle should stay at 9.0 or not? No wonder why they also believe the F-102 is compatible with AIM-4F/G despite seeing with their own eyes that they physically can’t fit while developing the plane

agreed absolutely, what i find hilarious is that i didn’t find yet in lobbies a single french EMBT not even for mistake or whatever, extincted at the arrival, google result of DOA XD

let it be unique, who wants another plain Sabre over a more unique one? even if they didn’t use it in HAF (that most likely did) probably they were combatable after North American rebuild them before getting them from RAF. The Helldiver is wrong, the F-84G, F-86E(M), Spitfire, Helldiver all missing Napalms, the F-102 has missiles that weren’t even compatible, the A-7H is missing its ground ordinance, the F.1CG magically got flares/chaff but they couldn’t give it the realistic Sidewinders (11.3 plane with only4 real aspect missiles lol) , the Mirage has Armat but not the Exocets and the Rafale has a load all the a2g weapons that Greece isn’t even using in the name of compatibility, so yea i dont thing its a big issue to go to 8.3 with the AIM-9B, also isn’t the wings the same wings with the F-86F?

Hopefully, Gaijin will give them DM53 to make them more interesting, and folder the French 2A5 and 2A6 to make the grind towawrds the French EMBT more viable.

I was really excited about EMBT, but the implementation across the board disappointed me xD.
