In this case, the shell the VEAK had simply did not exist in the form that it had. It’s not even that it was a historical shell simply given to the vehicle like in the case of other shells given to vehicles that may not have used it. The shell itself was most likely incorrect by having a VT fuse and having it in the first place was also likely wrong based on the majority of current information.
If sufficient evidence can be found to prove the VEAK did have a proximity round, then it can be reported and pass for developer consideration as a suggestion. However again the change was a two fold historic and balance decision.
That is absolutely true and very important to clarify!
What i’m talking about is the KULSGR m/75Z which is the predecessor to the KULSGR M/90 (also known as Bofors 3P) and that came out in 1975.
We have (in the linked thread above) found secondary sources claiming that the first 40mm proximity fused shells were being tested around 1964, the same year that the first prototype of the VEAK 40 was finalized. The additional fact that both the VEAK 40 and the 40mm proximity shells were made by the same Swedish company makes it VERY likely that they were tested together on the same range and fired by the VEAK 40 (although this last bit just conjecture, it is conjecture with a strong basis).
We are still trying to find any sort of actual proof of that last part, but if we do, is there any future chance of adding back proxy to the VEAK 40 even though it was just test fired and not in production?
and i just want to add that i highly appreciate your answers! :)
Honestly, asking Bofors might not be that dumb.
its a prototype vehicle from the 60’s that never saw service and a fuse that no longer exists so it would be bonkers if that information is still under secrecy classification.
They could do that though, just give it the proxy and change nothing else and it would be functionally identical to the Chinese WZ305 already in game at 8.0.
i wouldn’t call the 9.0 a “hole” per say, the itpsv 90 takes that role.
it´s more that the 7.0 ZSU has no lineup to be in but the same that the VEAK now was supposed to fill. so this now leaves the ZSU completely outside any lineup and is just a steppingstone to get to the VEAK.
it would have been MUCH better for lineups to give the ZSU proxy and move it to 8.0 for the 8.0 lineup and then move the VEAK to 9.3 to fill the lineup there.
You realize that the zsu 57 could fill the 9.3 and 9.7 gap while it is 9.0, also the zsu could easily be 9.3 as well, while the zsu with poxy wouldnt be able to help the strv 81 meanwhile the veak can while being effective for the 8.0 and 8.3 line ups .
Btw sweeden doestn even need to fill up the 9.3 gap to begin with, not even a new spaag, as they aready have it fully covered unlike most nations, they did actually need a ~8.0 spaag but now it is covered by the veak, so a new vehicles is completely unnecessary when there are nations with much larger holes
Probably because someone don’t like getting nuked from 3km while flying straight.
Some changes don’t have much sense, the WEAK or Type 81 where great against for cas players.
Yes, but OP listed the M551(76) as a “weird movement”. What’s weird about it?
Also, by leaving out the stabilizer and only saying it has “slightly faster traverse” but no HEAT-FS makes it seem like OP is downplaying it’s effectiveness.
You are making this game the most boring point and click crap. The maps before were fun and had challenging spots.
You know that more and more people are quitting every day? It’s going to be the death of Gaijin. Lose all your trust on this game and no one is coming back.
The Steam reviews still show that trust isn’t there. Stop fixing things we don’t want fixed and go back to the things we were promised…
