Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

None of them are at 13.0…

Yeah the only good era in game is the heavy era like Kontakt 5/Relikt/FY-4/FY-5/whatever.

All the other era like kontakt 1 and ARAT is generally only useful for bullying stock tanks that only have HEAT-FS.

Thermals, imo if i could drop the add on “Armor” i would. Imo abrams are top 3 tanks for my playstyle of fast mobility and reload. Japan, America, Sweden/Germany, russia for my opinion on gound rb top tier.

Japan and US imo are the best mobility fighters bar none. Though some of the ZTZ’s are kinda crazy mobile

Well I can. Its absolutely unacceptable for the F-2 to be passed over in favor of the Gripen.

Oh yeah, and I’m glad they did. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have. I’m just saying Gaijin is very intentional with what/how they release vehicles and weapons.

Also very true. I still would love to see the Su-7 get some magically duct-taped flare buckets (never had them). Or the Q-5L get the missiles it could in fact carry (they didn’t give it it’s flares for well over a year even though you could see them on the model/skin, lmao).

It didn’t tho. It was never built, not even as a mock-up. Feel free to try to provide proof of it’s existence but you won’t be able to as it simply never existed.

such as?

Gaijin has been moving more and more away from paper vehicles, possibly removing R2Y2s in the near future, I see no reason as to why the same thing wouldn’t be applied for missiles

Cool, but until we get confirmation I think it’s better to assume we’re getting the service version

I don’t know about EM, but EA was never built so no it wasn’t “pretty much a prototype”

Like I said above, if you two have actual proof of it existing feel free to share it

F-22 1.76 supercruise

ZTZ99A and WZ1001 are mobile.
Unfortunately they don’t have the firepower to sufficiently use that mobility.

Don’t get me wrong the Abrams has it’s merit but it doesn’t make it 12.0. The thermals are worst than the Leo2PL. an 11.7. There is no reason the SEP and v2 to be 12.0

When are we getting drakens with S35Es flare pods…

Please gaijn I need it…

Soviet bias moment, but Kontakt-1 on the UFP does have a marginal benefit to protection that does have a multiplicative effect on protection, but yes, otherwise this is true.

Playstyle. I flank and spank but these narrow maps are killing me. Imo the abrams with their turret cheek armor and mobility make them great hill snipes and very nimble close quarter fighters. I still have my IPM1 on my lineup just because it packs a punch sometimes when i dont have skill issue

As I said. Abrams has it’s merit actually a good tank. But if the SEP and SEPv2 are 12.0 so is just the normal A2 which it is not.

Eh, we could be using the Italian tanks…so ill take the abrams imo the Leos are cool but mobility is my game, now if the average IQ of my teammates could be slightly higher than room temp it would be nice

They are great flankers, but they can’t really go cqb which is what hurts their winrate.

It wouldn’t be as big of a problem if there were only 4-5 Abrams per team and the rest was filled with 2A7s/122s/BVMs. However with the US being a major nation and making up the majority of their teams, they just get rinsed off the objectives by 2A7s/122s/even BVMs and have a harder time getting them back.

Which again is why the 2A7/122 are just so much stupidly better than everything else, including the Abrams.

I have a R-77 I have a R-27 missile body pen pineapple apple R-27EA. You do the math lol.

I mean the Rubin missile of the Object 775 comes to mind immediately. The Object 292’s “152mm APFSDS” certainly meets the category too. There were some further developments to 152mm projectiles, but they aren’t in the game, the “152mm APFSDS” is (Griffel 1 and 2).

So when are they gonna can the 292, and will Russian ground be DOA after the T-90M 2023 and T-80BVM 2023 when they add the last theoretical round they can add (3BM59)? It’s natural the 195 will eventually be added to keep pace with the DM83 and M829A4.

Yeah, I agree. And I can’t find the quotation I read about this. So other than the Su-27SMK (Su-33SMK) Black 305 demonstrator, I can’t find any other “Su-33” that has an upgraded radar. Like I mentioned it was certainly (and still is possible) to upgrade these radars, as I wrote above.

If the turret weakspot wasn’t the easiest thing to break imo they’d be insanely strong. The abrams imo is one of the best large map tanks, i like it alot on artic pier. Fav map of mine.


If only i had teammates that weren’t like this sherman at top tier. I cant begin to recount how many times i think ill rely on my teammates to take a shot and they choke so hard

Even if they just improve the hull armor it should be better. I don’t know if it’s just my knowledge of playing them in game, but I have absolutely 0 problems taking care of an Abrams at any range and any angle.

Every nation needs a 2A7/122 counterpart, that would be the SEPv3 for the US which is why I’m coping for it.

EDIT: also German/Swedish players aren’t much better, that isn’t why there winrates are so high.

And yes, I know Australian Air Power is not necessarily a reliable source, but they seem to have a picture of the seeker that was formatted for the R-27EA project, which you can view here if you like:

Not for me, they don’t.
