The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Tusk Force”! — 05.09.2025 (Dev Server is closed)

I wonder how they worked that out and got around the risk of FOD? Because that seems like an interesting concept.

Can someone explain to us why the main new feature of the patch has such a low aiming speed? Why do other tanks have a vertical aiming speed of 10 and even 40 degrees, while the Oplot has only 3.5?

Why does the Stingray get excellent vertical aiming speed and the Oplot only gets 3.5?!?

They should remove the apds from the ap belt and give it limited aphe shells so that the UK can have an SPAA between 5.3 and 8.3, they need to stop making SPAAs into light tanks

I can’t be the only one who dislikes the idea of A2A missiles (even MCLOS) being at 5.0 (X-4), right?? Heavy Bombers like the B-17, B-24, Lancaster, etc. already have a bad time due to a variety of reasons, do we need really A2A missiles as-well?

TU-4s already get regularly clapped by R511s and AA-20s lol

Kind of my point. Do we need this at even lower tiers?

This statement is not true. Russian forums have exactly the same system.

Some systems are simply pushed forward for the sake of “balance” and without any good evidence of their existence.

Just pointing out Gaijin doesn’t give a damn about bombers, and it’s not like you need a missile to easily kill something like a b-17, you can already kill them with impunity with a well placed cannon burst from 1km, while you would need to sit still to aim the slow x4 which might get you killed, so i dont think it’ll make bombers be more of a free kill than they already are.

does this also fix the model of the bomb too as its currently using a modern 1000lb bomb model

When proper Oplot armor

Yeah, I don’t get why we can’t have a nerfed Falcon at a lower BR

For planes they withhold certain weapons for balancing reasons, for MBTs they withhold ammo and adjust reload rates for balancing reasons, but we can’t get a Falcon with worse ammo for balancing reasons?

elevators are still reversed though

I’m a bit worried for the bombers, but I don’t think those missiles will change anything, most players don’t bother with MCLOS missiles, these missiles have incredibly poor specs and people that do bother with such missiles also know how to use rockets with airburst fuzes.
The main cause of death for bombers will still be the people that straight up climb, focus on bombers and then fail to do anything else because bombers are the only kind of plane they can reliably kill

brilliant how did they bugger that up ??

awesome stuff, just need them to add the sn major bomb which is a 3300lb bomb to the bomber

Is it just me or does this update seem kind of disappointing? If this was what it was going to be I’d rather it be an entire patch of decompression and bug fixes.

since you loose the ATAS mounts on the wings I think this would only be fair

That would be better than anything they could ever deliver in terms of vehicles and maps
