Update 2.43.0.17

Nice changes.
When 3 cm Mk 101/103
I-T → ApI-T with 58mm Pen (Abcbc round)
Fuze sensitivity: non → 5mm
Fuze delay: non → 0,75m (+/- 0,25m)

It would help the Air targets belt and the Horton 229s HVAP belt so much. Yes it has 1 of it in them.

They’ll fix it the same day they fix black horizontal stab counting as severe damage while loss of elevator/elevator and rudder/severing of elevator and rudder control cables not even counts as a crit, so probably never.

So, still no fix for the broken EF2000 radar, its getting ridiculous.

Credit where credit is due. Those have been long requested changes. Glad to see the HSTV-L getting some love.

Lmao, the HSTVL got a buff… even though stock, it’s already pretty good, I have yet to spade it, and I already have a decently positive K/d.

The hstvl got a buff, yet the T-80U, UK, UM2, UD, BVM (etc, all newer than T-80B)
Are still stuck at 6.5 second reload times… when their actual reload is 6.0 seconds…
boy, do these American updates really challenge my will to play Russia, or Germany, or Italy… nope… just go play USA.

Playing Russia top tier nowadays:

That’s great and all, but it’s not like the hstvl was bad. They just did this to bump sales.

Bro do you have any idea how long and how hard the struggle was to get this issue fixed?

Have to agree. This has been incorrect for so long.

Now the PzH2000 needs to follow up with the Reload buff.

So as soon as a YouTuber complains things get fixed, got it.

Not really. Spookston has been trying to get the HSTV-L fixed through in depth bug reports for years with zero luck. It is was only when his negative video on the RDL/FT risked costing Gaijin money on premium sales that they bothered to do anything. Money is the only thing Gaijin listens to.

So you just proved my point.

Okay. So you can expect it to get fixed in about four years. I would suggest going out and finding a CC who has been pushing for years to get it fixed. But it took four years to get it fixed.

I imagine it’s this part @Dancing_Frog objects to. This issue was not solved “soon”, not even close.

Spookston has tried for many years to get bugs solved and most of them are still not fixed to this day. It seems the reason it was fixed now is because the issue related to a premium vehicle, and youtubers have the influence to reduce sales

Impeccable timing, and all of the sudden the hstvl gets fixed too. I’m not knocking spookston at all. It’s just funny that people ask during the whole dev cycle for fixes, changes etc. And only after being driven to openly make a video about it, does a swift change get made to the exact problem

The video made clearly expressed the frustration of the bug report system and the acceptance of evidence. Which is understandable, not only to a persons favorite vehicle, but in general. I think him saying what he said is the truth, and sums up the problem a lot of people have

In that video i left a comment that basically said the problem with the system is the fact that it is not definite.

If you don’t have the grasp of how common law functions, basically there are written laws but judges (or whom it may concern) have the right and the freedom to have their own personal interpretation of said law.
So it’s not like a single point,rather it’s a line with two ends and you can freely move inside said line.

The Bug Report system is basically like that:There are rules stating which sources are classed as primary and what not,but sometimes even official and primary sources are not enough or are straight up denied while some times this is not the case.

This system needs to change ASAP, it’s starting to tire so many people

Exactly this. Spookston has made multiple videos and bug reports for years expressing his disappointment at the sorry and incorrect state of the HSTV-L in game. But it was only when he posted a video that could impact sales of Gaijin’s latest overpriced premium that Gaijin took any action.

It is true that having content creators make videos can help with getting issues fixed in War Thunder. They certainly have more influence than the common player. But even they regularly get ignored by the Snail. In the end the possibility of losing money is the only thing certain to get a quick reaction from Gaijin.

Give all NATO tanks their <5 sec reload then

acceleration on the T-80’s should also be a LOT slower.

current ingame:
0-30km/h: ~3.65s
0-40km/h: ~6.20s
0-50km/h: ~9.32s
From swedish trials:
0-30km/h: ~8.4s
0-40km/h: ~12.6s
0-50km/h: ~18.4s

most T-80B’s also never got thermals IRL.
