Add 8K Ultra HD in the corner
I’m gonna assume that when they said they were gonna add a new ammunition type that they actually meant ordnance type, because I really don’t know what ammunition they could be adding that would actually be useful in WT lol
Canister, flechette, thermobaric and whatever else niche ammunition that has been developed would be fun, but not very useful when most tanks have HE shells
starting to look like something else
Yeah. Unless there is a type of ammo that hasnt been added yet?
That was my thought on initial read that they meant something for tank or aircraft canon “ammo” rather than munition, like CBUs, but a lot of people have read it like they meant the latter
There are certain shells and gun launched ATGMs, but I really can’t think of any ammo that both hasn’t been added and would be useful

CBUs or a new seeker type would make the most sense for interpretation
I’d imagine cluster weapons, based on the initial Nuclear Thunder event, though I still don’t know how they would implement that in a way that would be balanced, useful and not server frying at the same time
Hey guys so what will l expect for the upcoming update ?
There balance I think would come from having to fly kinda high to get hte most out of them, Which then leaves you quite vulnerale to any AA (500 ft I think is a fairly normal min alt for them), with the greater spread, the higher you drop from. So they kinda self balance a bit. They can also be given a maximum oepning alt, that limits the spread a bit.
So from a GRB PoV, I dont think they would be that bad, and in a lot of cases, there already guided weapons just as effective. Only really a few around 9.X would see the greatest buff from it I think, and then there is BR to balance that (Tonkas definetly wont be staying at 9.7 though)
In ARB, they are definetly needed, attacking a convoy with normal bombs is such a waste of time, because even good hits dont do anything anymore. (I was messing with PW4s on the GR4 in NE and I got way fewer kills than I should have done)
Server frying is the more interesting issue, though they fixed the game crashing when a battleship opened up with all its AAs, so Im sure they can probably do it with CBUs as well
Outisde of this:
and other things mentioned in the post.
Im hoping for:
- More aircraft to get ASMs (both new and already existing ASMs)
- More aircraft to get ARMs (both new and already existing ARMs)
- More vehicles to get Regen steering
- More SAM ships added for nations that dont have them yet
- Maybe Submarines
- ECM (or at least a beta test of TRDs)
- New soviet wunderwaffen

The thing with GRB is how incredibly random they would be and how huge the risk of friendly fire is
In air-only modes and even in naval, I don’t have any concerns beyond server/client performance with the larger cluster bombs
No higher than any of the mega bombs or a F-111 or B-52 dumping a load of 2k/3k bombs respectively likely are. Heck Canberra with 2x 4k bombs still probably more dangerous than something like a Jaaaaaag with 8x BL755s would be in that respect
I think worrying about players being idiots and TKing is a recipe to just end up with nothing but nerf guns.
Anyone dumb enough to keep TKing with CBUs would just get banned eventually
Hey. I am always excited for what’s coming. I am just not excited about the pings that come with that period.

What would the bomb spread of a large cluster bomb be?
With a FAB-9000, a 12000lb Cookie Bomb or any of the smaller, but still large bombs, you at least know that the bomb will land in a specific spot and the range at which the bomb is guaranteed to kill is consistent
With hundreds of bomblets just landing in somewhat random spots, you have a much larger radius at which properly armoured vehicles can still be killed and you cannot rely on cover “hopefully” saving allies
Obviously people should always take care when carpet bombing or dropping large bombs, but I just can’t trust people to make sure that a radius of like 500m is safe to drop a bomb onto
