It would make the Gepard into a monster as it can also shred the side armor of vehicles. The vehicle would get full belts of it and the BR would skyrocket. I was an avid supporter of getting FAPDS rounds and adding a regular Gepard 1A2 rather than the prototype. I bet you the standard Gepard 1A2 with FAPDS rounds would be a higher BR than the current in-game Gepard 1A2 prototype.
Longer Range.
Full belts of FAPDS.
Highly destructive Projectile that retains some AP capabilities.
Can even destroy small targets like missiles with ease.
A gepard with fapds would be mainly played against tanks though and much less against air. Wouldn’t be that bad because there is already the zsu-57 and praga aswell which are mainly played against tanks only.
It would probably give an easy tank destroyer/ifv for germany.
Same will happen with the skyranger aswell if it ever gets added
I’d rather have it retract on the move like Bradly launcher but work properly. It just feels wrong to have such defining feature limited for balancing.
I can’t believe I’m asking this, but here I go:
Can we get some copy-paste tanks max BR 4.7 for Israel? Cause we can’t have the S-199 in a lineup. Israel had some “stolen” Cromwells and Shermans early on. Probably some other things later, but around the same period.
Also, I hope for fully textured cockpits for the other strike aircraft in the game. I just spaded the chinese Mosquito. How come that has a fully textured cockpit? It’s more bombery than other strike aircraft, meaning it has a large 2 person cockpit and another visible compartment in the back. I want fully textured cockpits for the french and italian strike aircraft or light bombers which should be much easier and less time consuming to make since mostly are one man cockpits.
Furthermore, I wish future updates bring more Inter-War and WW2 vehicles (unless copy-paste) instead of modern ones.
From this angle it really looks like cable pole is part of the vehicle.
Do you have any actual imagery?
Simulations or games or whatever the cut is from can easily be mistaken.
That “cable pole” is the extended optics pole of the RCV. There is plenty of images of the retracted pole on the vehicle, though it wasn’t yet shown to the public in an extended state.
Spoiler
In the render you can clearly see the RCVs optics device on top of said pole.
The cut is from an official render of the CTWV family of vehicles. Here’s the full image
Yeah, I was thinking you meant you confused the pole for a cable pole. Sorry
I was mostly using it as example. Gaijin have already stated they know the pole should extend to 8m. It seems this was an intentional decision to limit the height, which I don’t think is fair.
Imagine for example an F-14 that can’t sweep it’s wings fully or an SPAA that can’t elevate its guns fully. Both of those sound wrong, in the same way that it is wrong to intentionally limit the RCVs optics mast.
And even then, they sell it. So it’s in their best interest to make people want it enough to spend their GE.
Im kinda confused why they dont allow its full extension or at least partial. The thing has a 30mm bushmaster and no atgms or nothing, It would allow it to fufill its role as a scout vehicle a little bit better as it wouldnt have to expose itself to the entire enemy to spot them for the team. Also, light tanks at the br get scout drones so what would it be doing that they couldnt already do apart from look cool while doing it.
