We are just waiting for it to get the Type 96 AGL, after that it will probably be a better pick than Type 96 APC since even though it’s larger it has greater resistance to .50 cal and 20mm fire (at least from the front).
Unfortunately I don’t think there are any plans to mount anything heavier, although experiments are always a possibility.
Are you referring to the suggestion for it which states this, because those don’t matter as it’s the exact same turret irl (also the suggestion itself shouldn’t be blindly trusted, it has a LOT of inaccuracies still). The turrets are identical in real life, the values we have on the V1 ingame are what they’ll give the V2, the only difference in the turret is the FCS, added smoke grenade launchers, and the L/52 gun
I’m not saying this just by the suggestion itself, and i don’t blindly trust anything, the armor protection of the Sholef we have in war thunder is even wrong, i’m claiming this by multiple blogs and articles on the internet and in tank enthusiasts forums.
i highly doubt that a lot of creators, from different blog spots and military articles would “made up” informations just to get a tank buffed in war thunder.
but since Gaijin claims that the Sholef in war thunder is the way it is because it’s the V1 version, maybe they’ll get it fixed with the V2
Don’t be too trustful of 3rd party sites or blogs, they aren’t sources or reliable. Forums even less so. It’s quite possibly wrong ingame yes, but we’d need proper documentation to prove that (I might ask ofekk to see what he has on it, but I’m sure Caid would have put a report up if we had anything at all on it). Regardless if gaijin does finally add the V2, it’ll have the same turret armor as the V1, doesn’t mean the won’t both be different from what they are now ofc, gaijin could re-evaluate their stats and change them accordingly. They’re still the same turret anyway, which again is still true and what this stated out as, just making sure that’s understood is all
They simply pay another company to make ads for the game and call it a day. This has been talked about for a while lmao. There’s plenty of terrible ads for warthunder mobile lol. Also yes a lot of companies outsource stuff. Especially the mobile side of things.
