The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 16.03.2026 (Dev Server is CLOSED)

GBU-53 is copy past variant of SPICE-250, where’s it? Why new F-15C Block 52 worse than Sufa in CAS?

BVV doesn’t mind that the USA is the worst nation in CAS capabilities right now?

It’s not, the GBU-53 uses a HEAT warhead. SPICE250 uses a Blast Frag (SAPHE-F) design.

In WT it will be ± same.

Do you not know how overpressure is modeled?

Damage mechanics

"For HE, overpressure damage is calculated when a shell fragment from an explosion hits something inside of the vehicle, proving that explosion got inside of it. This leads to high-yield explosives nearly always taking out a vehicle in a single hit, due to the shockwave being able to move around frontal armour and to hit the entirety of the crew that way.

HEAT and HESH shells and ATGM can also create overpressure damage but are less effective at it compared to HE ammunition and seem to only affect vehicles when very thin parts of the hull or their critical weak spots are hit directly, with overall armour thickness of hit surface having to be below 15 mm RHA, since their explosive power is directed towards creating special effects (molten jet for HEAT and scabbing for HESH) instead of producing shockwaves. There are exceptions in HEAT ammunition, which can deal overpressure damage through 20 mm (select few powerful HEAT ATGM) or 30 mm RHA (most tandem missiles). Tanks with reasonable amount of armour will not take overpressure damage from HEAT, even if special effect penetrates them easily."

Have you ever wondered why Mavericks have issues with doing damage?

The T Series just so happen to have ~45mm RHAe of Turret roof armor, so ignore overpressure entirely. It’s the one upside of the SAP-HE Mavericks.

Hey bestie
I don’t like to ask but as dev closes tomorrow I would like to see if you could take a look at this so we don’t end up with an error ruining a plane

Okay thanks bestie

Could you guys remove the roundel restrictions for the next major update? They’re a bit outdated at this point.
