High altitude capability? Majority of Soviet prop fighters are fucking useless in increasing degrees of magnitude above 4000-6000 meters altitude. This plane has a pretty big fucking turbocharged engine, so its actually capable of speedy flight above 9000 meters. Its basically a fat Yak-9 or MiG-3 that can go high without losing 60%+ of its rated engine power.
Its got crappy flaps, poor fuel load and no ordnance to carry at all, as well as some roll / turning hiccups.
Who needs altitude when you've got dirt?
Oh, well that explains, I never fly any planes at high altitude (since like said, suck at A2A, so mostly doing CAS in planes) so not familiar with how soviet or really any planes handle way up.
Still holding out hope for more additions to the Italian tree (Reggiane mostly).
Domestic Italian tanks in the Second World War were largely a joke, but it's possible that the ground forces tree can be supplemented with international designs. There are a few modern hulls that look quite scary, as well.
Italian naval designs were quite unique and I am excited to see how they will play in-game.
Well they have said that there's plans for more italian ground vehicles, just that it takes time because hard to find info, I think?
Any rumor on when next patch drops? I don't wanna buy packs early so my premium runs out too early, but I also want the AK47 decorator
Well they said "very soon" so expected within a week or two?

New pilot models, oof
So apparently helos won't be immediately available when 1.81 hits, but at most few days later?
From what I gathered from the initial article announcing it, it's just gonna go into CBT and be released to the public whenever the hell they feel like it.
So pretty much Naval Battles 2.0 in terms of closed beta nonsense.
No I mean even the closed test won't be immediately available, and it'll be announced later when it starts.
IGLA launchers for MI-35 on devserver got datamined

o lawdy, the APDS belt for the BMP-2 is almost pure APDS now

Since Dev is live I can finally legally post this totally recorded during live dev video and not otherwise.

As expected, helos can just lob ATGMs at 2-3km where radar AA can't reach them, which is good at least, but it'll be interesting to see how it actually plays out in non-dev server environment.

Surely they have to be giving it an upgraded missile or something to justify that.
Its been a serious while since we had some good ol blatant anti german balancing.
Helios hovering too high with tunnel vision on guiding in their ATGMs are going to be jet bait. It'll be interesting to see how this actually pans out.
well they already gave it the I-TOW a while back but it's still pretty meh.
with the warrior getting the MILAN 2 at 8.0 the begleitpanzer could easily go to 8.0 alongside it, then you'd have one vehicle with better missiles and one with a better gun at a BR where they can both work decently (honestly the BMP-2 should be 8.0 as well, but that's never gonna happen).

Armed with MG151s, very nice
God I wish there was free flight for every plane in this game, some times I just like to fly around the test flight map.
Just buy test runs ))))))))
I agree, but god forbid we find out if a vehicle is shit or not before we grind for it. (Not that the test map gives you an accurate depiction of how a vehicle will perform in a match)
Nice to see Gaijin adding more high tier propeller planes :)

they'll go well with your newfound love of top-tier tank battles
Fuck that, i ain't dealing with Leopard bullshit, ATGM spam and SPAA's penning your mantlet.
