War Thunder "Line of Contact" - Changelog

@Smin1080p_WT Is all of the new “spawn a random tank/SPAA” now being completely stock a bug, or was it changed last minute before the update going live???

I used the feature on the dev server and all of the random spawnable vehicles seemed to be spaded or at least have their vital modifications unlocked (APFSDS, Thermals, Laser Range Finder for MBT’s).

Now on the live server it seems all of the randomly spawnable tank/SPAA’s are completely bone stock, making most of them literally useless and not even worth spawning…

Please tell me this is just a bug with the new update and not y’all hard fumbling this new feature…

It was 160mm but thats now dropped for some reason

I just checked it a moment ago and it stopped BMP-2M frontally

Bmp-2? Wow the bar for good armor really has dropped

what if he stopped the kornet

You expected it to tank MBT rounds or something?

Yeah Gaijin, what testing internally did you actually do before placing the BMPT at 10.3? That thing is so madly busted in terms of armor and damage output its hilarious.

Its like a sherman, but wrecks tracks and barrels FASTER while also being immune frontaly to most contemporary vehicles, incredibly trolly angles and volumetric… etc.

Y’all, at this point you folks at Gaijin must be having a real laugh. This can’t be accidental when you keep doing stuff like this. You’re not incompetent, you just think stirring the pot and laughing at a good portion of your player base if funny.

From my experience they are very easy to deal with. Their ammo is in full display for you to shoot + standard T-series weakspots still work.

Where are you shooting and with what round? I’ll get some rounds into the ammo. But their atgms just follow since the have 4 ready to spam fire.

Also thats not entirely true, their lower glacias has extra armor meaning you have a narrow band to pen even with m900 - and with how trolly gaijin modelling can be, this isnt a gaurantee and doesn’t kill enough crew to knock out. Driver port SOMETIMES works because all the volumetric stuff, the composit that doesnt have a breach in the middle, and relik sitting between that and outer armor.

M1 M774 for example

Spoiler

You cant hit an ammo carousel and disable the turret traverse, so you just get spammed by atgms.

Like, i am not an inexperienced player man. I am not great, but I do okay. I know my weak points and know you’re gonna get trolly armor interactions sometimes, but this seems pretty busted.

Do that with the 5 man crew one. The premium one is less busted.

But also post the protection analysis, because I did the map and it is pixel hunting. Plus, your second screen shot makes my point, he can still return fire on a shot that in other t series is a one shot most times.

Do you play US main?

I play all nations and protection analysis isnt always right

Ah, but how much have you played US at that BR?

Also, correct. Ive made the shots you showed in game with m900 and theyve gotten eaten by volumetric. That doesnt happen except RARELY for other T series.

Disabling Power System kills FCS which then kills full turret controls ATGMs and 30mm

Good to know. Appreciate that info.

it has a 100km range and the pl12 ingame has 80km, so i think its a lot better, like the differences between r77 to r77-1
