Honestly it is very weak at 9.,7, already has trouble penning and gets one shot even with trained max vitality crew and can’t see how it’s better than Centauro or Type 10?
New shell which would indeed be more useful so we can pair this with Leclercs and bring it top tier :)
I already did bring it at top tier. The low penetration and spalling was a big issue.
Now that the pen is somewhat usable, my last gripe with it to be competitive with the Leclerc lineup is a reload buff. 6.7s is average at 10.0, but it’s downright bad in top tier.
Or we can get a CTA40, which I will prefer over the VEXTRA
Yeah, but once you try bring Type 10 or was it Type 16 the wheeled light one japanese to top tier you won’t complain about 6.7 reload as that thing does 8 seconds and is downright useless other than to cap a zone haaah
Ooof that sucks
Isn’t there a vextra with 120mm with low recoil also ?
Yes there is. VEXTRA POLE
Based on the Leclerc turret system.
Although I’d still prefer a CTA40 for the flexibility
why not both? i know i m a greedy french main but come on
i mean both are good even if they don’t fill the exact same playstyle.
Yeah, leclerc shell on a vextra is clearly fine for top tier + with gen 3 and mobility it will hurt.
it’s probably not as good as the best light tank in sweden tech in terms of penetration but it should still be great.
I’m really glad to see they finally decided to buff the Vextra… after I’ve been complaining to Smin1080 for five months.
But what is this OFL 105 G2 round? Did Gaijin mess up the name?
I think Bossman will be happy about this though.
Oh, and since the Super Étendard has now been moved to 11.0, maybe it should get Magic 2 missiles to keep it balanced with the Su-25BM, which has access to two R-73s.
G2 is a completely new round while F2 is the DU variant, unless I’m confusing things with the 120mm.
G2 was made for export while F2 was in actual service for the VEXTRA (well, as much service as a test vehicle has), and the AMX30B2 used it, so in game at the very least the Brenus should have access to it. I believe IRL the F2 would perform somewhat better than the G2, but I don’t necessarily know in game. I’ll have to look through the F2 penetration analysis bossman made a few months ago.
All in all, VEXTRA, AMX 30 Brenus, and AMX32 105 should be able carry F2 as the top round (and Vextra should not even carry F1)
You are right, but Warthunder is a game developed by Gaijin…
I’m still having unrealistic dreams about the Jaguar being added. There would also be 140mm, XLR, and maybe a ground attacker version of the Rafale with MICA IRs.
Okay so I went back to some values.
According what what was found on the DU round, using the L-O formula used by gaijin for APFSDS, we’d be around 489mm of penetration for the OFL 105 F2.
Currently the OFL 105 G2 I believe will be in the ballpark of 420-430mm.
So we are halfway there from F1 lol
Sourcing from this we just can’t read the first post
Well, tbf, the Jaguar or a CTA40 in general is probably the closest to being added, unless the devs add another Leclerc with the XLR, on a lineup that is already bloating with MBTs, thanks the copy pasted Benelux line, which could have been so much better.
140mm is the least likely in a short time frame (probably when top tier will start drying out the bug gun gang will be added) while the MICA IR will depend on how much power creep Gaijin wants to add in a future update with the next generation IR missiled
As they say “This new shell has slightly more penetration than the 105 mm DM63.” The penetration of the DM63 is 430mm, so I’m guessing it’s between 430-440mm, and considering it’s a French vehicle, maybe 431mm, lol
Nice, that’s a bit more than expected.
Is this from dev service?
Yes. Gszabi is the go to guy for datamine stuff.
You can find his discord where he’ll share any datamine information and trusted leaks for new updates
