i do hope next update we could see the modification for the p-61c to let us lock the turret. been a promised modification since the p-61 was added to the game but said modification had been dropped. im sure by now that feature can be implemented.

I feel like I haven’t seen anyone really talk about the Chi-Ri changes? imo the Chi-Ri is already mediocre at its current BR because the pen is so bad. Now it’s going up to 5.7?? That poor thing is going to get massacred. It can’t even deal with the Tigers armor let alone now having to face common 6.7 like the Tiger 2 and all the Pershing variants.

I’d understand it if it was fast and small but it’s neither, Gaijin please reconsider.

I do like the buff, but not the BR increase lol
Not sure if the changes actually warrant a BR increase of .7, but I don’t have much experience with the Chi-Ri

When does dev server end?

7th

And yes 4 are top tier on my team

The best part is with the recent changes to being able to view your teammates lineups, you can tell which/how many players are those supposed four players with the highest BR vehicles on your team. The problem that is then discovered is when you’re on a team that has only a single player with that top tier lineup, for example playing a 6.7 game USA/UK/USSR vs GER/JPN, and you find four players on the enemy team with Tiger IIs, meaning the ratios are off. Just happened to be more axis players wanting to play 6.7 at the time, but the game should be trying to balance the number of 6.7 players in that match.
Have found other games where one whole team minus one or two players were at the bottom BR vs a team full of the highest BR/one step down BR. Clearly wasn’t a fair fight in that regard. Sounds like exaggeration, but it’s not uncommon to find games like that. Just needs to be a better algorithm in balancing the players in teams better.

That being said one of the problems you’re encountering there is trying to play a BR within a range of a popular bracket. 6.0 gets dragged up to 6.7 very often because you have those who want to play late WW2 vehicles. I’ve got a great 6.0 USSR premium/event lineup but I’ve pretty much expected it to always face Tiger IIs/Pershing variants. 6.0 German is also popular with Tiger I/Panther spam, so unless you’re always on the same team as the Germans, you should be running across a healthy amount of 6.0 players to go for even in those uptiers.

On a different note, I’m not sure if the matchmaker already does this (I doubt it does though), but having teams balanced better by players with only a single tank in their lineup equal in number for both sides. The availability of backups isn’t a viable factor due to the player choice factor, but if there’s at least a bit of an even spread of those players across both teams, it’d make it far more enjoyable especially in those BR ranges with popular premiums (10.3/10.7… 11.7/12.0…).

@Stona_WT will the belgian f-16am get the same upgraded radar and aim-120B as the new swedish one.

Aim-120B is the same as 120A as for the radar that should be the same

Exactly that!!! and happens all too often.

I have no idea who to @ for this, but Gaijin, can we please get airburst ammunition for the Type 24 ICV and Type 25 RCV? We know that the Japanese MoD purchased it.

And not only that, we know that you add stuff based on theoretical capability. I see no reason why it shouldn’t be added

I believe there’s already a report, because I remember seeing it, but I can’t find it anymore.

Found it thanks to skultew

@Smin1080p_WT (maybe you? sorry for ping)

So are Italy and Germany going to get the same for their M44/55s or are they going to stay in completely separate lines for some reason

And that confirmed¬¬

1 tank!! ONE at 4.7 and it was a Churchill Mk7!! No one could kill it because everyone else was lower than 4.0, most were 3.7!!! Proving that match making is a complete and utter JOKE!

sea eagle for the harrier frs.1 (squadron vehicle)? not sure early variant had used them) and fa2?
bit of a discussion on it here.
