Pre-order: GBT 155: Frankenstein’s HE Slinger

What is the reload rate of this thing?

6.5s for first 3 rounds (2 reloads), then 10 seconds

(3 rounds in 13 seconds, then 6rpm)

A little too OP for Rank 4 no???

watch this be 7.3 with the 2s19m2…

Rank doesn’t determine balancing

Rank 4 for britain is up to 7.7, which this would not be as its plain much worse than PzH 2000

For comparison the 6.7-7.3 SPGs in game’s reload

Type 99 - 7.5s (sustained)
AuF1 - 7.5s (sustained)
Bkan 1C - 3.2s (sustained)
Sholef - 7.5s (sustained)
2S19M1 - 7.5s (sustained)
2S19M2 - 6s (sustained)

It gets outreloaded by Bkan and 2S19M2, Except unlike the others, the GBT will lose that rate of fire (10s sustained) and wont maintain that 1s reload advantage

Was thinking that. It’s like they are going out of their way to not add the AS-90

That should be 6rpm, with a 10 second reload.

3 rounds in 13s burst, then 6rpm sutained

Burst fire rate is modelled (see PzH 2000 with 3 rnds in 10 seconds)

10rpm is a 6 second reload, that means that it is faster than the burst reload.

hang on i may mean 6rpm, confused 6rpm with 6s and 10s with 10rpm

yeah i mean 6rpm

6rpm = 10s
10rpm = 6s

i love how those numbers reverse perfectly like that…

As long as they don’t do the “Sustained 2 rounds per minute for 1 hour”.

i’ll bet that this is a teaser for it coming next update.
i don’t even like playing howitzers but i’m even coping for you all

probably doesn’t have a laser range finder

So copypaste slop for techtrees and unique vehicles behind a paywall.

What a nice idea.

A rather interesting SPH & I’ll likely pick it up especially for further SPHAAG service (Self Propelled Howitzer/Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun), heh heh heh love downing aircraft with heavy batteries (years of NF paying off when playing GF now).

Still Rank IV? Going off past premiums/ squidron/ event SPH they tend to be Rank V (excluding the Sholef at Rank IV) ntm the chassis is of a Rank VI MBT & Rank IV is saturated for premiums (same with Rank VI) while Rank V only has two premiums (or technically just one if you exclude the Centurion Mk. 5/1).

On another note, going off a previous comment elsewhere, when will the poms see to getting a production model FV433? That being the Abbot as in game only the prototype SPAAG variant of the FV433 exists (that being the Falcon), it’s a surprise that hasn’t been added yet.

Why is cool stuff always locked behind a paywall

no poland tt for you i am afraid

So 2 round ready rack to allow for 3 shots in 13 seconds at 6.5 sec reload, and then after that 10 sec reload.
