The ZTZ99 is a Chinese third generation main battle tank, developed during the late 1980s as a replacement for older MBTs in service at the time. The highly advanced ZTZ99 has arrived in War Thunder reinforcing the top rank of the Chinese ground forces tree in the “Hot Tracks” major update!

Briefly: One of the latest Chinese MBTs in service, featuring good firepower and mobility as well as sophisticated armour protection.

ZTZ99, main battle tank, China, VII rank.

Pros

Excellent firepower


Advanced protection


Low silhouette

Cons

Poor reverse speed


Limited gun elevation angles

The Warrior ADATS was a proposal only. There are about 2 photos of it in existence and its questionable if it was ever even completed beyond a mockup demonstrator only. Its not viable for implementation.

M113 ADATS is the closest Britain can get to a new SPAAG.

Indeed if the US tree did not already have the M3 ADATS, then it would be closer to the US tree. But since they have an ADATS system and have no need of a second, due to the relationship between Canada and the UK the next best place and the tree that actually needs it is the UK tree.

At the moment, they have been disabled as they were causing some technical issues for some players.

This is intended for now.

The Israeli F-84F is actually a French one. It was a French aircraft flown by a French pilot during the Suez crisis and repainted in IAF colours as it flew under IAF command officially.

As for the Canadian ADATS. America already has an ADATS system and this was a commonly suggested vehicle for the UK tree to get a improved SPAAG over the Stormer.

It's not. As the Dev blog said, it's in its historical Soviet configuration with R-3S and Kh-66.

I mean to say 3, the 9 was a typo

And yes, GR.3 had L later in its life for sure. But its a bit too soon for that now.

This would need proper sourcing and a historical report here: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/1957-weapons-and-ordnance/

Yes, all articles have now been corrected with the right info from the developers: https://warthunder.com/en/news/6999-development-mig-21-pfm-en

MiG-21PFM will have the R-3S for Air-to-air, which is the most advance missile it had in Soviet service.

Other missiles such as R-13M and R-60 that were shown on the test server (whilst the aircraft was still very much WIP) were only present on Foreign export models and not on Soviet examples.

Im not sure why you think its my job to "explain" anything like this.

Weapon choice selection is entirely down to the developers discretion. It has nothing to do with me or any Community Manger.

Im not ignoring anything. Ive already responded twice on these sources, so perhaps its you ignoring things.

These are not Soviet MiGs. They are Bulgarian ones. Again, we already know Warsaw pact nations had them, but this is specifically about a Soviet PFM going in the Soviet tree.

Bringing up the Harrier over and over is not going to suddenly make the sources any more valid.

The devs are very much aware R-13M was in foreign PFMs. It doesn't change anything.

Only pictures is not necessary. The point was, in the entirety of this topic, the only close to valid source posted has been the one you originally shared.

Whilst its correct about the Warsaw pact PFMs having them, there is no further evidence to suggest the Soviet ones did. Hence why thus far its not getting them.

If you have more valid sources, we can gladly pass them on. But so far nothing else has come up.

Please actually read my posts before you mistquote them

The OP was mainly asking for R-60 to be removed and using only 1 single source to validate R-13M, which as I have already said, is not enough and has been disproven.

Im not even sure where you are even getting that explanation from because its not at all what I said.

Sidenote, all fixed now.

There is nothing new to pass on. So far you have not provided anything that shows a Soviet PFM with R-13M.

Its just been going round in circles with unsourced or unproven (and then disproven by others) images that anyone can do for any aircraft.

Anyone can grab a rough picture and make a claim. For example, Harrier GR.3 with AIM-9M:

The image quality is so bad, a lot of people would probably believe that without knowing their sidewinders properly. But its not, its an AIM-9L when you check the source

Images must be clearly and properly sourced and any florigen export models are irrelevant to the one coming in.

I have already told you the exact information from the devs and explained why some languages are behind. They all need to be updated.

It has R-3S....

All articles should now be correct. Some of the languages were updated before the presents were updated.

Yes. There was some confusion in older texts in some languages because the preset changes were only recently made.

Also nothing has been ignored. I have already responded regarding the first source being A) Secondary B) Unproven and so far, no further correct evidence has been brought forward to show it should have R-13M.

If you check my first post here, I already quoted and responded to that source.

Its also now explained in the article what it has:

The tracks were not hot enough so we had to shove them back in the microwave for a bit.

There really wasn't a need for 3 early Harrier variants. Plus again, the whole point of SRAAMs on GR.1 was to actually make it useful. Without them it was a questionable balancing prospect as its performance dictates more towards a higher BR whilst it's combat capabilities in the hands of most without any air-to-air is not great at all.

T.52 is indeed unique and survives today in Brooklands. I've been several times to see it

But the fact the aircaft is there does not mean all the required info to implement it also were widely available.

In the end it was decided to focus on the two most famous variants. GR.1 and 3.

Orly? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

)))))

Please re-read what I said.

Harrier GR.3 has access to air to air missiles. For now that's AIM-9G with the prospect of later missiles as an upgrade too.

GR.1 by comparison had none with SRAAM being the only one closest to its timeframe.

So it's clear SRAAM is the only option for GR.1 whilst Harrier GR.3 has multiple choices.

They are not based off a museum piece. They are based of the tests conducted by Hawker with a Hunter F.6 and the actual mounting to a Harrier T.52 which itself is a T.2 which is a 2 seat GR.1. This was done as it's the only possible missile Harrier GR.1 could have. Without it, it would be much harder to balance as it's flight performance dictates it should be at an awkward spot without the air-to-airs it really needs to be relevant.

Meanwhile MiG-21PFM has its own historical weaponry which was the exact reason people started this topic (to have a historical PFM) and will be perfectly fine with it's correct armament.

No they have them because they actually had them and there is clear evidence of them in service or used on those aircaft. I have no idea where you got the notion that it's because a museum piece of monument has them being the sole reason they have them in game.
