Do you know if the Swiss Hornet in the German tree will get AGM-84H too?
Most likely it would get it as well D:
Smin, for what reason was the turret armor of the M1296 Dragoon changed? Can you please point me in the direction for acquiring the sources used for this change? Why was the change only applied to the M1296 when the VBCI-2 (MCT30) uses the same weapon system?

Can I just say that it’s hilarious that the report implies that the 35mm is too inaccurate in game… so they made it even more inaccurate

Genuinely one of the best people on staff in the entire company imo. That man deserves the best for the effort he puts into his work. Much like Smin at the end of the day he’s one of us - a genuine enthusiast of military equipment and also the study of history.
Side note : I’ve been wondering what Smin’s latest reads have been in his free time. It’s always funny for me when I go back through the old forum to look at something and I see Smin talking about things he’s reading about (like British equipment for example) or just chatting about random stuff. I’ve been playing this game since January of 2014 across 2 accounts but I never really spoke in the forums, always lurked instead. Genuinely one of the chillest guys on staff imo and also deserves a ton of praise and a massive bonus for all the work he does.
Extra quick little short side note so I don’t rant for ages lol : Stona don’t worry I recognize your efforts and passion as well. You also deserve a ton of praise and a big reward as well.
I’ve always found you 3 to be some of the coolest and genuinely passionate people out there in the company. Felt it was as good a time as any to share my thanks and appreciation for all these 3 (and many others - too many to name) do for the game and for us as a community.
TLDR : Some really cool people work at the company and are equally passionate about these things we are always worried/asking/talking about. I appreciate y’all so much, hope you all get paid/rewarded as well as you deserve.

Will other tech trees receive these weapons as well?
Is this for all?
Or just the US one?
They added SLAM-ER. good. now they just have to add the normal SLAM, Harpoon and stormbreaker to the planes that can get them.

Harpoon and stuff on older airframes as well would be wonderful. Hoping AShM gets put onto other older aircraft in the future (I’m sure it’s been talked about at least a little internally)
