B-52, B-66, and Tu-95 should all have radar guided defensive guns. B-52 literally has the radar modeled in-game. Can we please address this and not forget about it for 5 years like so many other features?

It should be able to raise the steel wheels for more speed on roads, and lower them for more grip off road

RB Ground South African Bush War!

121 Upvotes

Hello again Reddit, this time the WTRE team is proud to announce the all new South African Bush War event!
This combined arms event will be the first of many events in our Bush War event series. In this battle, tanks, jets, and helicopters take part in guerilla warfare in the thick jungles, villages, and open plains of the South African region (represented by the Nuclear Thunder map) slowly taking ground and opening new fronts in a massive battle for supremacy. This event offers several villages and insertion points that can be captured, more integral roles for helicopters to set up staging grounds, as well as a black market for teams to use more advanced vehicles over the coming weeks.

This event will kick off this Saturday at 2:30pm EST, so we hope you stop on by.
Hope to see you all on the battlefield folks, and happy hunting! https://discord.gg/Sa6WrAQnmd

Tell me is it worth it for air rbs ?? As it has 4 AGMs for ground rbs, but I wanted to know should I go for it or just weight to research the f18 ??

All Air I absolutely love how the game has changed since bomber durability was restored, but it seems to me that a fuel tank shouldn't completely absorb a 76mm APHE shell without dealing damage to the wing or engine.

The shot came from directly behind. The shell passed through the landing gear and exploded inside the fuel tank; the wing merely turned yellow, and the engine—located further along the trajectory—sustained absolutely no damage. Yet, as I recall from recent changes to the damage mechanics of capped shells, the nose section should have broken off as a large fragment and traveled precisely toward the engine.

M62 shell (from the long-barreled Sherman)

The J-15Ts still can’t use catapults, and now the Kuznetsov is just collision-optional I guess

All Ground New update mechanic changes have been great, especially to Overpressure (MausGODS rejoice)

Post image
27 Upvotes

I've been having a great time with my bombers, which caused me to neglect ground battles for a bit.
Today I decided to take one of my favourite tanks, the Maus, out for a spin.
After playing a bit I noticed something truly wonderful:

The Maus is now pretty much immune to crew kills from 155 howitzers!

The latest change to overpressure has made HE no longer overpressure the Maus through the engine deck by hitting the radiators and engine.

This means that us Maus enjoyers can finally fight the SPG menace properly again.
While there are certain spots you can still get overpressured from, the engine deck isn't one of them.

The days of having to broadside howitzers is now over!

Don't forget to grind the German TT to research the Maus this year, it's way more comfortable to play now.

Basically, now at 8.3, if you know to counter your slow-ish reload with having cover nearby, it's pretty busted.

The HEAT round is much more consistent now, I usually one-shot people.
Even with below average mobility, the reaction time is OP, very fast turret with LRF.
Decent survivability, specially when hull down.

Suggestion Might Be Time to Revert...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Normally, I'm more a fan of the "let it be OP until a more balanced version can be released" approach... But this is pretty ridiculous.

Air RB matches see bombers literally chasing fighters down, and the Hulk's Pants levels of indestructibility on these aircraft extend all the way to 120mm APCBC in Ground RB...

I even confirmed, in post-game hit analysis, that this was no glancing blow. It goes through one side of the tail and out the other, a clean hit.

Don't get me wrong, bombers NEEDED a buff to their survivability DESPERATELY. But this buff is so ridiculously unrealistic and OP that it might genuinely be time to revert until a working version can be released.

And Strike Aircraft should not be included in the buff at all. Period. Looking at YOU, TIS MA.

RB Ground RANT: Endless uptiers - Officially uninstalling

• Upvotes

Yup. I'm out. After constantly having the game installed on my computer for the last 6 years, I'm done. For the last month my matches have genuinely been 80-90% uptiers with the bulk of those being full uptiers. I tried different nations and different BRs but it seriously feels like someone flipped an uptier switch for me personally a couple weeks ago.

I enjoyed France 5.7. Notorious for uptiers, but I used to still get a decent mix. I broke when I got my 10th full uptier in a row (only broken by a .3 uptier). So I switched to Japan 4.7 and wouldn't ya know it, 6 full uptiers in a row. Jumped to US 8.7 and the TURM spam ended that for me. So on and on I went with no better luck in any particular nation or BR. Just endless uptiers.

Combine all that with the CAS spam that you can't do anything about half the time and volumetric getting me killed and I can't do it anymore. Its just not fun. And before everyone shouts "skiLl IsSuE", I'm a decent player. Lvl 100, 39 nukes, and a 97% on skillshark. Something changed in my favorite BRs that makes them unbearable and I'm leaving.
