Yea they did no changes to the Type 91 code at all, only stinger and nothing else. I played a match and the stinger on the AH-64DJP was nice having the more G pull
It is known that type91 was based on stinger, so I’d say it must also recieve this buff. The question is how to propose it? Bug report probably will be rejected and suggestion will be forgotten for months if not years

Type 93 now have only gen1 thermals on dev. I didn’t see or heard about any documents from gaijin confiming this nerf

God that’s just depressing. Figured they would nerf the thermals after the Type 81 came out because someone tried to use the Type 93 to justify getting the Type 81 better thermals but this still hurts.

Well at least rumor about optical tracking going for flares was false, for now(they implemented ground resistance for type81 only after it was released on live)
We can only hope it remains false, otherwise I’m gonna be a mighty bit pissed.
Oh they also increased the Type 93’s mass to 4.6 tons. Gonna be a bit slower now.
That’s an actual type93 weight
Mhm I know… Just a bit sad it’s finally fixed lol. The end of an era.
I’m late but now on the dev server mistrals were changed to 16G, now leaving the Type 91 in the dust

Yea they should change type91 too. If no one does report I will do it later if I won’t be too lazy
Did the thermals get nerfed??
Yup
Any reason to nerf this? Or just needed to check off the To-Do-List that includes ‘Nerf Japan in any way possible’

Because they weren’t going to buff the Type 81C’s thermals, so to keep it consistent and make sense, they dropped the Type 93’s thermals down a peg
You still going to do it or no?

I got ban after said that their explanations explained nothing when yet another nato tanks armor drama happened and gave up on this. They are changing vehicle stats not based on sources or logic but on assumptions about vehicles from their own imaginary world where only 1 nation can make good vehicles.
Go do it if you want but prepare yourself for talking with crazy people.

I think it’s hilarious that Gaijin really thinks it’s realistic that a missile can be dodged 100% of the time just by doing a simple turn or corkscrew. It was actually good last time I played it (after Type 81 was added) but playing it today it felt like it was back to how it used to be. I literally had a helicopter at optimal range dodge two of my missiles without even maneuvering, they were just pointing down to pick up speed and that was enough, apparently.
The Type 91 missiles are still the only manpads to also not receive any buff in g-loading and such unlike every other manpad from the other nations now.
It’s also still slower and with less battery life even being 10mm larger in diameter than the FIM-92 stingers, with the only benefit being a noticeably larger warhead.

So from the dev stream, we will be able to reload missiles on type 93 one at a time instead of having to deplete all the missiles to reload them on caps
