No Radar HMD and IR HMD

Official statement & meme from Spookstation regarding RDF/LT :

I cannot express how outright idiotic it is to give the HSTV-L’s nerfed reload rate to a tank that is ALWAYS specified to have a 70rpm / 0.85s reload rate in documentation. Or that its top speed is too slow. Or that even its DIMENSIONS might be wrong. But hey, I don’t know why I’m ever surprised at this point. If I were you guys, I wouldn’t put my money towards what is just a worse HSTV-L at this rate.

~ and I kinda agree, I knew the above would happen the moment it was leaked

Imagine if they had added something that would help US top tier ground winrates instead of something like the RDF/LT that only lowers them lol.

Pretty much agreed, if I want to stay in the 10.3 comfort zone then wolfpack+KVT seems good, if higher, M1A1 AIM+ clickbait with apache or night attack harrier seems better, TBH the RDF LT is kinda pointless

do we have any leaks for the next patch (not Storm Warning) not interested in a copy paste update lol

Will gaijin ever fix HSTV-L issues now that they’re adding premium RDF/LT, that people will pay for?

  • Reload rate as low as ~ 0.8 seconds but atleast ~1 to 1.2 seconds (this I hightly doubt Gaijin’d fix)
  • XM885 should have M774 levels of penetration ~ this should be done
  • ^its a nearly 400 mm telescopic round so, spall condition should be like long rod ~ this should be done
  • Should be Delta 6 (430 mm of penetration)

This is a video of it in F&F mode. Which we have already detailed why it will not have this mode: [Development] Tornado GR.4: Tenacious Tonka - News - War Thunder

TBH smin the problem is, certain weapons in the game lack a counterpart that can effectively compete with it, for example the KH38 sits well outside the range of most SPAAs in NATO or CN/JAP TT, and the only vehicle with the proper range to counter it is the pantsir-s1, also in the USSR TT, there has to be a balance between the game itself and reality, and WT right now is not very good at it

As we previously mentioned in the last CM disclosures, new SPAAs are planned next year.

Regarding other weaponary, sadly not everything has a direct counterpart. It doesn’t mean we have plans to create fictional wepaonary to turn one thing into something else that it is not.

I would like a unique aircraft, not a clone. In addition, Rafale with AESA is already being added, while the F-2, which will have worse air-to-surface armament (JDAM and LJDAM, since ASM will most likely not be added) and will not have HMS, is not.

ARL-44 is classified now as the historically accurate Heavy Tank now

Well the Brimstone in LOAL mode is not fictional…
But anyways of course, but Gaijin gotta speed up the pace and fill some holes, like lack of Tier 7 premium for France, lack of good premium grind plane for CN/ISR, I mean I could see alot of good work into this filling holes thing, such as the Thai tree in JAP, but just keep up the pace

sadly that could even mean the winter update next year if worst comes to worst and the balance gonna suffer until

thats why compromises like limited fnf capability need to be done like mmw missles being implemented as IR fnf, there is so many nations suffering under this one rule and gajin not being flexible enough but then throwing implementation out of the window in cases they like F-16AJ, swedish trialed vehicles, R2Y2, YAK 141 never realy being finished and so on

Without this opportunity, you are actually depriving the Eurofighter of full-fledged missiles, you have forgotten to fire at least a TV/IR GOS or another. Where are the precision weapons for the Eurofighter? After all, Eurofighter is not playing against current air defense systems, but is fighting with Pantsir S1, which is 2-3 times more powerful than NATO air defense.

At the same time, the Russian attack aircraft works for 20 km, let it go, forgot and flies to recharge. No NATO air defense can get them.

At the same time, the X-38MT turns to maneuvering aircraft and shoots them down.

Funnily enough the ARL-44 was also officially classified as a Tank Destroyer, after its obsolete status as a heavy tank was recognized

LOAL was never claimed to be fictional. We’ve explained in detail why that mode of operation can’t come to the game.

What’s fictional is the fabricated modes of performance and operation some suggested.

These cases in no way compare to Brimstone. Tornado and Typhoon both could have been added without Brimstone at all. In the end, a historical means to introduce the weaponary was found which allowed it to be introduced.

So those that want to use it can, those that don’t have other options.

Once again, I’m going to ask that this topic be kept on track please. Brimstone was already discussed to death last major and we gave answered everything on that.
