War Thunder "Air Superiority" - Changelog

That is fair. Although according to tests from some of my friends/squadron mates the CR3 can’t really be ammo racked as of now.

However without that reload I couldn’t see the CR3 be above 11.7.

And I might catch a bit of flak for this, but I don’t think DM73 is needed yet for the 2A7V. I honestly think that a fixed 2A7V with DM53 is a peefect counterpart to the Strv 122B+ and SEPv2 with 600-650mm vs KE LFP and M829A3 but no spall liner.

The 122B+ and 2A7V would both hold the overall armor and survivability advantages due to spall liner, better armor and smaller weakspots while the SEPv2 would have a slight firepower advantage while having enough armor to protect against reactionary shots (still the huge UFP+turret ring+mantlet weakspot though).

Main problem is balancing everything else around this.

The 2A7 was specifically designed for DM73 or so I have read on here before. Denying this shell defeats the whole purpose of adding the 2A7 in the first place, especially since it is being denied all other redeeming factors (d-tech, transmission etc) as well.

I agree- I think Germany and U.K should get DM63A1; and, if either is to get DM73, it should be either U.K, or both, if anything, Germany getting it later, when more and stronger tanks arrive for everyone.

But giving DM73 just to Germany seems like an odd decision, since it’s already the best tank in the game and it will be even better when it’s armor gets un-nerfed.

I didn’t mean that, of course the other nations who have access to the shell should get it also.

I agree with everything you just said!

I used to think 2A7V should get DM73, but seeing the general state of top tier right now, I think DM63A1 would be more than enough of a firepower improvement.

Instead, I think it’s CR3 the one that could actually benefit from DM73, since it’s just simply worse in every other way.

Or maybe the Gripen was just WIP and people overhyped themselfs forgetting that the dev server is sometimes still subject to change.

I gotta love people demanding to be able to pull 18Gs when such forces would probably kill the pilot lmao

We can already regularly and consistently pull up to 11Gs, even 12Gs for brief moments… and some people want even more!?

Even 9Gs for more than 2 seconds can be deadly in real life… and we can pull 12Gs with no consequences ingame! Asking for even more Gs is asking the pilot to be Superman lol

Anyway… isn’t Gripen the most agile and maneuverable plane in the game already? Is it even needed to make it even more against all laws of physics and human health?

I thought DM63 was just DM53 with new propelant? Or is DM63A1 something else?

Problem with DM73 is that apparently to noodlecup it only gives 11mm more penetration. I’m just not sure about the calculations.

Yeah a friend of mine flew it out on the devs and we were laughing our asses off. In perticularly on the first dev. He was regularly doing 180° flips to look behind him and just continued flying after that. Or he broke of his wing with a load of effort and the missile on said wing was still usable.

And to think people were asking for it to keep that flight model.

Maybe Gaijin should add Drone jets that can pull however many Gees their structural integrity allows xD

I just want to see the F-15A get Aim-7Ps. Or see a general fix to the 7Ms and radar. The amount of times I’ve seen my 7M just give up on tracking and explode six seconds after leaving the rail has led me to not even bother bringing them out anymore. Which is why I think the F-16C is better than the F-15A since I can take two more 9Ms.

If it’s instead of the hit icon, that means the team mate must hit the destroyed tank first to see the skull. What’s the point, then? If I hit a destroyed husk I know it even without any special icon…

atleast the skyflash always tracks, even if it rarely has the range and energy to connect, sparrows have been borked for a year atleast, really should’ve just added Aim120 A/Bs already, balanced counter to the spam of 27ERs and 73s

Is it not for the minimap?

i was out of copium but it understandably got a nerf but people are debating its G limit

it’s more WIP now than before in that case, if you’re anywhere above 5000 meters you can’t turn properly anymore, you literally turn 5 degrees and stop, turn 5 degrees and stop repeating on end, literally bobbing around

So I found issue with AIM7 & Skyflash.

F14B
F16C
F15A
F4S
F4J(UK)

All the same issue. Check the video link on TikTok firing Skyflash from the F4J(UK). This behavior did not exist prior to the update.

The update is full of bugs, pre-sale vehicles that don’t keep what they promise. More and more players who are successful with cheating and who don’t mind the bugs because they are allowed to be successful in the game. This is how it all stands for me today.

Giving the “Deutsches Modell” (German model) DM73 to Britain first would be a repeat of Sweden having the better Leopards first and Britain having the better Gripen first. I’d be very annoyed if that didn’t cause another uproar of the same magnitute.

I have no objection to just giving DM73 to both the 2A7 and CR3 at the same time though. Just put the 2A7 at a higher BR, CR3’s unique thing could be having DM73 at a lower BR.
