War Thunder "Line of Contact" - Changelog

You should revert this change, it broke ESA radars, which were never broken to begin with, i cant speak for mechanical radars (haven’t tested them)

Gripen E has 7 fox 3 missiles while the F-18E has what, 12?

To be realistic, AESA Typhoons would have to go up too, maybe it’s not as good fighting against the Su-30SM2, but it does just as well at taking a dump on the 13.3s as the Su-30SM2.

Missile count is not everything, the Gripen E has a much stronger and flyable fm alongside a better radar. The super hornet has a lot of missiles and that’s where the strengths of that plane end really. It’s extremely weak defensive.

The Su-30SM2 at the same br has a lot of missiles but the missiles are also actually good and can fully utilise the extremely wide gimbal radar with 50g pull, better than ER acceleration within 15 km and no launch limits.

Yeah but missile count doesn’t matter that much, since Rafale has 8 missiles and F-18E has 12. Gripen E has better flight performance, countermeasure sensor fusion, I think more CMs too? correct me if I’m wrong. Better radar too.

AESA Typhoons will shit on 13.3 as much as the mechanical Typhoons did on 13.0 when they were 14.0, just as a reminder the Typhoons until the rafale buffs where THE best jet at toptier, and will now still remain 3rd best platform at worst and 2nd at best

You just reminded me that 13.3’s can see the Su-30SM2. Poor souls…

I REALLY like the new hangar layout showing all the weapons! Thanks Devs 💓💙💚💛💜🧡

OH! Showing the damaging effects that each tank round inflicts is AWESOME too!

we’re at that point where we need more than 2 ARHs stock and chaff stock, for all 14.0+ planes imo

And 13.0 can see the Gripen that can stay in a full notch guiding its 120s too lol

Chaff not being stock is absurd in the current meta imo.

Like giving you a shotgun but no shells in a zombie apocalypse

yup and only 2 ARHs

Well the answer here is put the hornet down rather than Gripen up, its simply a downgrade to other Eurocanards at that Br while losing out in volume of fire or outright BVR strength to other 14 3s

It’s locking the only reliable way to defeat the most common missile at this BR behind a modification, no matter the tier of said modification. This is like if armour was a tier 1 modification on tanks and before researching it you’d have to drive around an unarmoured skeleton that can be machine gunned.

INB4 “Composite Inserts” modification for top-tier MBT’s that equips the composite armour. Before that you have to make do with ballasts made out of water.

Sorry I cant affort spending another 200 euro to grind the same aircraft but slightly altered because we dont know why.

Shall I start a “US suffers” group so that we get a TOW HMMWV or maybe a TOW or RR jeep?

Amazing improvement.

You know, before the update that shot at least killed the gunner.

That might actually be realistic damage but realistically the crew doesn’t still operate the tank after getting peppered by steel fragments.
