RTX 5070, few days ago I updated nvidia driver with DLSS 5 support for War Thunder.
So, after the addition of more ARH slingers at 12.7-13.3 BR, is there any reason to make F-16A block 5/10 reside at 12.3 not having anything except flight performance (which doesn’t make it better in the meta of Medium and long range missile spam with its 45 CMs)?
Would there be any changes to essentialy dead aircraft tied with new BR system (either by introduction of said new system by reducing its br with the amount/quality of armament to make it at ~11.7-12.0 as better F-5E or merging it with upgrade packages to make it worth anything besides RP piñata for hordes of ARHs and SARHs)? Or would be it thus made a lower BR to compensate to its uselessness in current BR range now again full of good missiles?

Because Leopard 2 PSO was a generalized project-name and not a nation-abbreviation, which they, in classic KMW fashion, reused for several vehicles.
Also small reminder that the hull used is that of a Leopard 2 A6EX, just with the L/44, which they even initially offered for “2 A7+”, so “2 A5 PSO” is also a questionable name in of itself.
They named a bunch of vehicles PSO and then later rebranded all of them to “2 A7+”
and the 2HEL is an upgrade of the 2A6EX as well, War Thunder is using official designations, Greece is the sole operator of the type and whatever name they say its the official name, calling it 2A6HEL is just sloppy

@Smin1080p_WT Just curious. My bug report regarding the leo 2a8s gun elevation angles was accepted a week ago. Why was it not implemented in the update patch? Community Bug Reporting System

Why do adding AGMs raise the aircraft BR in air RB?
This is very disappointing to be honest. Will it even be this year now or will we see it in a random update 3 years down the line :/
It’s not wrong though…
Although, in fairness, KMW does call it Leopard 2 HEL in other publications too, because them and naming things is a, uhhh… difficult topic.
Because of the impact in Nuclear Escalation mode, NE and Air RB use the same BR’s
Nuclear mode is not functional. Results in people loading in, not being able to use anything, and the game ending to ticket bleed. Missing airfields.
hah in Arcade mode you can actually now make the rank 7 S.2B equipped with internal countermeasures, a decent RWR, and AIM-9G, lower BR (9.7) than the rank 6 Buccaneer S.2 with podded countermeasures that reduce bombload, and nothing better than AIM-9Bs (10.3)
Officially is, the current official name is Leopard 2HEL that we also have in-game,
I know they were the main company in making the 2HEL but that doesn’t give them any reason to name the think
My problem is that the Changelog is official calling something with a wrong name is wrong and needs to be corrected specially when there is no vehicle in game with the name Leopard 2A6HEL
In the French tree; won’t get fixed.
We’ll sooner see Chally with correct armour than an MBT in the French tree fixed.
I’m surprised that the data shown on the Norwegian YouTube channel was accepted as a valid source for a bug report… In that case, why do you definitively claim that the statements regarding gun elevation and depression angles from the official Bundeswehr YouTube channel are “not a bug”?

Add French equipment to US or Russian tree next update and it would be fixed quicker
So - let me see if I understand this correctly. The Yak-141, which never made it out of prototype, never had weapons installed, and never even had a radar installed in it as it did basic flying tests and all, gets access to R-77’s. But the F-14D, with multiple unclassified documents saying it was supposed to get AMRAAM’s, literally showing where they slot in in place of AIM-7’s in the case of the declassified part of it’s Standard Aircraft Characteristics from 1985, a full production aircraft that saw years of service, and had a radar in it capable of using AIM-120’s - just needing a patch, that was funded - which is again documented on public government records on public government websites still can’t get the option to mount AIM-120’s in the tech tree? Make this make sense please.
Now - I can only guess what the Arcade BR looks like - it’s still like 2 hours till the downloads finish, but - it looks like it has IRL access to maybe 4 of the things, plus some 9M’s. And I don’t see any BR changes to planes that can carry 6x ARH missiles. So if it’s anything close at 13.7 unless it’s got 6 - that’s just gonna over BR this thing again, though at least it’ll finally have ARH missiles to fight all the things it constantly fights with them. Frankly - I’d prefer an option that also takes off the 9M’s/AAM-3’s so it can sit at 12.3 even similar to an F/A-18 out of the US tree.
So - you give the option to the A-10 which is a premium and so already stacked with all those weapons from the go so can handle being at that BR no problem this. But don’t give it to the A-10A in the tech tree that has to unlock access to bombs, rockets, AGM’s and extra 9L’s in a BR bracket more heavily dominated by not just supersonic aircraft, on maps designed around them so it takes forever to even try and get in range to hit anything, but a range with SARH missiles being a lot more common in matches - that will splash you before you even get in to AGM-65 range, let alone rocket or bomb range.
I like the concept - especially as someone who has gone through the pain of the nerfed to oblivion why is it still 9.7 in Arcade - or in other trees higher, F-104’s, and dreads getting to the Greek F-102 after playing the American one - much as having mini-guns is at least a slight improvement. But I don’t understand the logic behind some of these choices.

Looks like only a Gaijin employee can think of this irrationality.
No missile J-22 Orao is effing at 11.3

That’s where long range AGM’s are around currently
Sidearm is so bad that nobody cares, thats fair.
So same br as normal su25t on non arm loadout but with thermals?
Why a10a late from tech tree didnt get this feature?
