Tbf, the past year or two have been very top tier air heavy, but top tier ground (which is seemingly getting attention this update) has been stagnant for quite some time.
The heavy focus on top tier air has left almost everyone’s years old top AA woefully obsolete, so if this update does shape up to rectify that as it seems to be doing thus far, then it’ll be great for gameplay health in that area of the game.
Top tier gameplay health will not be fixed by simply adding more SPAA. It needs a range of changes and overhauls.
It’s a real shame because WW2 and Cold War era BR’s (even up to like BR 11.0) are mostly ignored… apart from Gaijin shoehorning in modern, post year 2000 artillery pieces in the inter-war/early Cold War BR’s.
Mig-9 with a 57mm N-57 cannon instead of the 37mm, carried 28 rounds. (only HE rounds available so no worry of it becoming a jet yak-9K)
already happened no?
? there is no jet with a 45mm or 57mm APHE shooting cannon
well there is a 50mm Me-262
Oh yeah i thought you meant russian jets
i mean in the end it amounts to the same thing regardless of what nation it is in
Would probably get the AP rounds anyway since it can fire them.
I couldn’t find any info on AP shells for the N-57, and seeing it was a low velocity cannon meant to destroy bombers i doubt they existed
HMS M1 with a 305mm cannon
I know the game is not ready for subs, but if it ever is, I know what I want added.
De Zeven Provinciën (ship from the Netherlands).
Norinco’s GT-6
Hr.Ms. De Ruyter (1936)
infromation about the ship
The ship was 170.92 metres long, 15.7 metres wide and had a draught of 5 metres. The displacement was 6,442 tonnes standard and 7,822 fully loaded. The ship’s engines delivered 66,000 hp, which allowed a speed of 32 knots. The ship was manned by 437 men.
The main armament of the De Ruyter consisted of the remarkable number of seven 150 mm guns, mounted in three double turrets and one single turret. The original design included six guns (three double turrets). After it was realised that the ship had to accommodate a squadron commander and his staff, the design was slightly enlarged. This created space for one extra gun. The extra gun was placed in B-position, on the forecastle, aft and slightly higher than the forward double turret. They did not want to spend a little more money to make room for a double turret. If the guns of the forward twin turret were raised, so that all three guns on the foreship were clearly visible, the ship resembled from a distance the German armoured ships of the Deutschland class, which carried a triple turret on the foreship.
The design of the De Ruyter was in turn a blueprint for that of the Eendracht class cruisers, which were much larger and would carry ten guns of 150 mm (2×3 and 2×2).
The secondary armament was relatively light and consisted of ten guns (or machine guns) of 40 mm in five twin positions. However, the positioning was well chosen on the aft ship: all guns had an optimal field of fire and the fire control was particularly good.
Partly with a view to long patrols in the vast Indian waters, the cruiser could take two aircraft on board. Oddly enough, Doorman decided not to take any aircraft on the eve of the Battle of the Java Sea.
The design of the De Ruyter had some good points. However, the ship was relatively lightly armed and lightly armored for its size. If a little more money had been spent, the ship would have been much better equipped.
Service history
On 12 January 1937, the ship left for the Dutch East Indies, where it arrived in Tandjong Priok on 5 March of that year.
On 26 September 1939, an aircraft from the ship crashed on the north coast of the island of Bangka during a mail flight for the squadron. Pilot officer H.J. Stoutjesdijk lost his life.[3]
On 12 April 1940, the De Ruyter, the Java and a number of submarines left Surabaya for tactical exercises on the Java Sea. This happened after a high state of readiness had been announced. On 20 May of that year, the ship exercised with the Java again. This time, it concerned fire control and artillery exercises.[4] In May 1941, the De Ruyter escorted the passenger ship the Oranje to Singapore.
On 4 February 1942, the ship was slightly damaged during a Japanese attack on the ABDA fleet, consisting of British, American, Australian and Dutch units.
Battle of the Java Sea
On 27 February 1942, the ship sailed for the Battle of the Java Sea as flagship of Rear Admiral Karel Doorman, who was in command of an international squadron. The mission was to prevent Japanese convoys with invasion troops for Java from reaching Java. However, the convoys were not found. The squadron then clashed with another Japanese squadron, during which the Dutch cruisers Java and De Ruyter were torpedoed. Doorman chose to go down with his ship. A total of 345 crew members of the De Ruyter were killed.

IN French Tree with other benelux ships.
I have my prediction how premium leopard 2 A4NL might look… :D there are never to many smoke grenades
those are not smoke grenades, they are part of the combat simulation system, basically lasertag for tanks
