Whilst the AB 205 also has guns too to counterbalance that.

Comment

French Gazelle also has access to guns, ATGMs and Mistral too. So this comparison is meaningless.

Comment

AB 205 also has the option of guns, UK Gazelle does not. Hence why its not the starter helicopter.

Comment

It also has the option of guns too. Whilst a British Gazelle could have 14 SNEBs and nothing else.

Comment

It does not have flares as far as im aware. This was a mistake in the artwork.


It has a gunpod underneath and Kh-66 rockets.

Comment

Again, Japan has a UH-1B with only FFARs.


AB 205 is exactly fitting for a starter helicopter.


Not in this patch.

People asked for French Event vehicles. I explained previously how its harder to do event vehciles for smaller nations for several reasons, mostly being:


1) Nations like USA / USSR etc have examples of well known experimental / prototype vehicles or just such an excess of production vehicles that some can be event vehicles. There is also generally a plethora of readily available information on such vehicles, meaning we can implement them in reasonable timeframes. Nations like France, whilst having some prototype and experimental vehicles do not come close to the other nations and have to have quite a few of these diverted to the main tree. Those obscured prototypes that remain are also have much less info on.


2) Event vehicles must also be interesting and something attractive to players. Not just a small niche. EBR is very clearly a good choice for an event vehicle as its unique interesting and as you can see for yo...

A jet used operationally and a French event vehicle that people have asked for. It may not be all (still uncertain), but regardless if it is or not, its very clear from today there are certain people that are going to be displeased in a lot of situations and there is nothing we can do for them.

Comment

You already asked this and Its already been answered. The possibility of all nations getting more helicopters remains open in the future. But for now, we have 3 joining.

Comment

Japanese UH-1B has x 38 rockets. The Italian one is in the exact same situation.


As for the UK Gazelle. It would have exactly 14 rockets. Hardly comparable here.

Comment

Making a lot of helicopters and making a lot of armed helicopters that fit the scope of the game, that are also not just variants of the same thing are not the same thing.


Its also the same case for lots of nations. There are lots of examples of Lynx we could add, AH-1, UH-1 etc etc.


Helicopters will be expanded over time, but its not viable to implement everything.

Comment

Im not sure why you are treating the Italian Helicopters as though they are different from others?


In the American tree you start with the AH-1G with a Machine gun and rocket and the Japanese tree begins with a UB-1B with only FFAR rockets.


Not today.

AFAIK we do not have plans for such mechanics. If you decided to use vehicle, it's yours forever

Comment

Not the case actually. Simply FlakRak was finished first

Comment

Barely any information available on it. Should more come to light then it's not outside the realm of possibility in the future, but the current ADATS is just as capable.

The ST-A3 is the first of two prototypes of the Japanese Type 61 medium tank, differing from the production version mainly by possessing an automated gun loading system. Soon, this very unique and much anticipated vehicle is arriving to the Japanese ground forces tree, awaiting all tank commanders in the next major War Thunder update!



Briefly: A prototype of the Type 61 medium tank, boasting an improved rate of fire thanks to its autoloading mechanism.


ST-A3, medium tank, Japan, rank IV.



Pros

Versatile 90mm cannon


High rate of fire



Cons

Mediocre protection


Average mobility
