The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Spearhead”! — 24.10.2025

Yes, it will “keep up”, but it won’t be a top dog when the only things it does better than the competition (electronic warfare and other important things in the electronics suite) aren’t modelled ingame

That’s right! Laser rangefinder and the same 90mm low pressure gun as the AML-90. No stabilizer though

Eh, don’t need a stab on something that sounds like an amazing sniper tank

Should have better acceleration too iirc

more players at 100 mid range that upper tiers, again incorrect FACTS!!! You really are dilusional!

Worse turn performance for better acceleration and soeed

9 missiles is still 9 missiles.

Wasnt max speed lower than the original M24?

Yep! I think it’d do nicely at 7.3 or 7.7 though I’m not sure about the BR

It has the same gun as AML-90 and ELAND which are both 7.7, but the 116 is significantly less mobile than those. 116 gets LRF though, and a 50 cal AA gun (M3 not M2 hehe). Meanwhile the Ru251 exists at 7.3 and has insanely good mobility and a high velocity HEAT-FS, no LRF.

If what you said are facts than surely you can link me to these accurate factual numbers that were provided by Gaijin themselfs no?

I was talking Gripen E

And yes you are correct, skills do not apply to mid-high tiers, because you have the ability to use guided rockets, Heat vision, sit there parked up hiding, nip out and shoot retreat to said hiding spot. Pretty much camp the area…!! Yup you’re right… sooo much harder… ffs lol
Fact is - I used to take so much abuse from Mid- High /7.7 -9.0 tier players because I would kill them using a Puma SDK, funny as annoying all the Higher BR players. You lot are techy as.!

ALSO - You’re not exactly one to state that really are you!! Top 3 tanks ONLY are above rank 4!!! so again POT KETTLE¬!

AH my bad!

I think 7.7 would be reasonable considering other low tier LRF HEAT slingers such as M41D, ZTS63, Clovis, etc. but it would most likely get that minor nation tax and end up 8.0.

Also as for the NM116 they shouod have a better engine. There is also the Einar Tambarskjelve with a missing machine gun port and a 400hp engine from Norway

Right, you have one more missile than most of the competition.
Is that gonna be a major advantage over the competition? No.

It would be nice to see the Gripen NG/E be able to shine, but (unless we see proper e-war someday) War Thunder isn’t gonna give it much of a chance.

7.7 seems like an ideal spot, it would fit nicely between the Pbv 501 and the Ikv 91

7.7 is lacking and the Veak is so worthless lol. Id just play it at 8.7

8.0 is good

No SPAA makes me not want to play there lol, also STRV 103 aiming is terrible decent tank on the 3 maps that make it fun to play but meh. Too map dependent for my taste
