Thats bullshit and they know it. Oh we don't know how it works so here lets give it a value that literally anyone with half a brain would instantly know is bullshit because ????????????????????????????????
See, now if it was thin aluminum sandwiches with lots-o-air to disrupt HEAT only I could buy it. It may even be, but it would sure help us a lot more if they actually told us what fucking documentation they're using or provided it in context??
that's the thing, they're not basing it on any documentation
-initially gaijin staff didn't seem to understand that no sane military would put slabs of ERA that big on the side of their tanks because it'd be like a roadside bomb going off when they get hit
-they eventually caved and admitted that it didn't make sense for it to be ERA but they refused to change it to composite because nobody could get a concrete primary source that actually said it's composite and not ERA
-they finally changed it to composite, but because nobody is able to provide a concrete primary source on what the skirts are actually made of we're stuck with the garbage 0.1x NERA modifier gaijin uses in most NATO composite arrays
So has the AD2-1 been fixed yet or is it still utter bullshit?
Like why do I get the feeling this patch is going to just be another broken mess like the last 3 or so have been?
YOU SEE IVAN...
At least it's better than that early ADS Russia had that had the unfortunate side-effect of perforating any infantry (friendly or otherwise) in rather large cone in front of the turret.
Germany gets the FlaRakPz 1, otherwise known as the Roland; it uses the Marder IFV hull, I believe, and mounts the same turret and missile system that the AMX-30 Roland does because France and Germany developed the project together.
Its literally in their tech tree on the Dev Server, or at least it was when I checked several days ago during the last up-time period on the 25th.
Half the time Germany gets paired up with the Soviets anyways, so its not like you won't miss out on having the Roland over the Tunguska; the Leopards boil the blood and give all the US teams strokes before they even have a chance to get in the AH-1Z or a jet bomber.
the a2d was fixed for the 2nd dev server, yes; initially gaijin modelled its exhausts thrust output higher than the mig-19s, when in reality a turboprop gets a very tiny portion of its power from exhaust thrust, so that got fixed. they also modelled the engines as 5000~hp each instead of 5000~hp total, which has also also been fixed. it's also at a much higher BR now, since it's still capable of jet-like speeds.
tl;dr, yes it's been fixed
noice... the CR1 side skirts are still single-use even though they're not ERA now
Am i just too stupid to work the radar on the A2D, or is it bugged in some fashion?
O I thought the roland was just for france
>Added ability to shoot down ATGM's
Well thats just the final nail in the coffin for the Japanese slow boi.
That being said, could this be the precursor to anti ship missiles ala red dragon?
I'm unsure why this guy didn't just fucking pelt me with his 20mm, but joke's on him.

Cursed Twitter post
Why is there a map that's just the entire English Channel
i was doing my quarterly sweep of war thunder media to see if they'd fix the crippling issues that the game has, wondering if anything had changed, but i feel this post has saved me some time, so thank you
so not only does the m36b1 still have a big hole in its armour

it's been discovered that the amx m4 has one too

Gaijin is too deep in the vodka.

I'm speechless... my go to fun tank has been ruined
Did this just happen or was it part of that "penetration rework"? I ask because a fuckload of upgrade shells for the Russians became worse than stock.
I don't recall the AC shell in particular to be severely affected by the penetration rework. But ever since 1.89, it has been nerfed and I saw a reddit post about it.
Before 1.89, it still kept the same ~125mm penetration (around that, I don't exactly remember). But I know the PB-35 was affected when the rework happened, it used to have like 135mm and now it has 95mm.
dunno why gajiggles figured it needed a nerf given that literally the only thing the KV-2 has going for it is the gun / it's pen. The reload is shit, the turret traverse is nearly non-existent, the turret is a bullet magnet with not nearly enough armor to defend against said bullets, and mobility is mediocre(?).
Speaking of soviet nerfs, the IS-2 1944 mod. seems to have hitboxes on its external gas tanks now.
What happens if you shoot them? Engine fires? And with rifle caliber bullets?
Theoretically speaking not an awful lot should happen if they go up in flames seeing as they're all external. Worst case scenario maybe someone outside the tank suddenly finds themselves slightly more on fire than they were a few minutes ago. Maybe they'll act like spaced armor vs HEAT?

Update-o: In addition to giving it the external fuel tanks it looks like they fucked around with the penetration again at least a little bit as now the IS-2 1944 has max 205mm pen instead of the earlier 198mm on both shells. Additionally the 152mm gun on the ISU-152 has more pen as well it appears.
Tried out jets in Air RB for the first time in months and I regret doing so.
Every battle is a mixed battle, constant up-tiers due to the massive influx of wallet warriors in their Tier 5 jets and anything above 9.0 is a complete shitshow.
So I tired staying around 8.0 with the Meteor Mk 8 which I just got and I really like, but I have yet to gain a single victory as every "team" I'm put on haven't a clue what they're doing.
It really fucking sucks you NEED a victory (and a premium account) to get any viable RP and SL gains, because grinding 50,000 RP to research a single module is perfectly acceptable according to Gaijin.
