America's Premium Rapid DART Slinger Gets "Historically Buffed" - RDF/LT - War Thunder

[@MyWaifuNow]

The only time quick changes happen is when their new money maker isn't making money, its the only language gaijin speaks

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Because Spookston (Who has knowledge on both the HSTV-L & the RDF-LT) told his subscribers to boycott it.

[@jPlanerv2]

same happened with M1s with 120mm after dropping premium variant lmao

[@cuda010]

It's the only language any business speaks. I think you might have gajin confused for a charity

[@Kwisss]

@@jPlanerv2 Not exactly. Besides the fact its the players not the tanks that make US win rates bad (clickbait + aim), there are bug reports accepted for it that aren't implemented yet. Turret ring, hydraulic pump being wrong spot, fuel bulk heads and other bug reports accepted. This goes for other nation tanks who got 5 second reloads instead of looking into those bug reports to fix them.

Now waiting on the round fixes and other things; - XM885 missing 200 m/s of penetration - XM885 isn't M774 levels of penetration (its weaker than M735 and M464 76 mm from the M41D which was the same gun used on the exported weaker round bull dog armed RDF variant) - change spall properties back to long_rod (it's labeled as a long rod in the brochure + telescopic round encompassing 95% of a 430 mm long casing) - could get its delta 6 round (430 mm) - the commander's FCS interior module being knocked out shouldn't stop you from firing as the front two crew have FCS module controls. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1212">20:12</a> - Missing its armor package + ESS, if I recall it should be immune to .50 cal frontally without the package. *This one is for interior modeling in general but the turret ring basket shouldn't be apart of the turret ring module for many vehicles. I understand it may jam the turret drive if parts of the basket is warped but its made out of thin metal and would be easily crushed by the drive. Forgot the others... The issue with getting a new round or even a round buff is it might entice them to put it at 12.0. They don't want a premium "top tier" 12.0 vehicle to avoid being called out for having top tier premiums even though we have 11.7 ones.

[@justmrak9078]

Doesnt have enough depression, reload rate is pretty much 2x slower, actually shouldnt have thermals (unless some add on on barrel), isnt properly modeled XD yea its terrible

[@Kwisss]

@@justmrak9078 Reload rate got changed. The video reflects the RDF having 0.8-0.9 seconds now. For the HSTV-L they went with 1.0 seconds since the first iteration of it had 1.5 seconds of firing rate and later improved it right before the RDF around 0.9 seconds. So they just went with 1 second.

[@Kwisss]

@@justmrak9078 Oxy said the depression is based on the sides not the frontal aspect. Though I remember the good old days when the M1128 in the dev server had -10 on the sides then it got changed to have every side fit its -5 depression statcard.

[@mmmdawe]

m/s of penetration XDDD

[@johnnytv7620]

Spookston made this change happen. He fought for both the RDF and the HSTVL because they were heavily historically inaccurate.

[@BIGGIECLYDE116]

Sad thing is they are still wayyyyy inaccurate.

[@clamsalad6946]

i think the model itself is missing stuff like the fuel cap mentioned by spookston in his RDFLT rant video

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

well well well, looks like Spookston's video had some impact after all

[@brunobegic3841]

*Spookston's hearth rate intensifies*

[@liladoodle]

I'm guessing the Panzerhaubitze 2000 will be next?

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I hope so.

[@Bikitninji]

I wouldn't count on it, just an unoriginal worse K9

[@republic0_032]

They will buff the reload to 5 seconds...for the two round ready rack.

[@liladoodle]

​@BikitninjiThe Panzerhaubitze 2000 entered service in 1998, while the K9 Thunder entered service in 1999. Who's the unoriginal one now?

[@CrispyPratt]

Maybe if they actually model it correctly

[@rowanyuh6326]

They only patch something when its premium. I wish the BMD-4M was tech tree 😔

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Same.. I'been wanting it as a TT vehicle for so long, but bleh.. Maybe we will eventually with darts?

[@jo4n__p4bl07]

spookston is bouta be super happy

[@scarecrow443]

God no, this is some bandaid fix crap. Almost nothing on this or the hstvl is fixed properly.

[@wicked-w7l]

there are still a ridiculous number of obvious inaccuracies

[@SHEEPS_123]

not at all, have you watched that video?

[@phinoyang7924]

It shoots like a sniper and a jet engine sound. That update is crazy.

[@CrispyPratt]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="639">10:39</a> funny you mention this, as it should have an ESS system but once again Gaijin seems to leave it out among other things with not just this vehicle but many others

[@HotWheels1776]

They also either cut down the top speed or just changed the stat card. On patch launch day it claimed 47 MPH, now it’s 40. I could never get it to 47 MPH in the test drive. Glad to see the HSTVL got buffed though

[@Janus54]

they nerfed it, it does 50 km/h top speed now

[@TheJessecarpenter]

It was never able to do that, it was just a typo or something, it's correct as per IRL right now for top speed.

[@TheJessecarpenter]

@Janus54 no, it is 64kph lol

[@jPlanerv2]

I hope we will get the best variant of RDF as tech tree vehicle after spookmobile, as this one is just bare bones feels naked

[@jPlanerv2]

HSTVL should get better round as it has smaller ammo rack

[@corrodan2995]

I dont think the vehicle is too powerful considering the 2S38 was put in the game the way it was.

[@kju520]

Dlss isnt the issue with the frame spikes makes no sense, try turn down terrain deformation a tick justin.

[@Eunski]

Im guessing we'll never see the Tornado Gr4 video any time soon.

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Only selling point for it was the Brimstones, and even then it was a hard sale so.. Most likely not without a combo setup IF at all.

[@SHEEPS_123]

Did the HSTVL also get its change, if im not mistaken spookston said the HSTVL also had the 70 rpm edit "some creators (spookston) are saying the round should be m774 equivalent, I think that would be too much" say you ignored spookston without saying you ignored spookston

[@wicked-w7l]

HSTV-L has been buffed to 60 RPM, conveniently slightly slower than the premium despite having the exact same speed IRL

[@leonidas231]

drop 98 million on snow globes, and the HSTV-L needs the ammo crate

[@ARCtrooper_bliz525]

Justin is as he said in this thing a chihuahua with a shotgun

[@filibertomagana7770]

Boycott did work

[@arok555]

still missing a hole in the guns cover :)

[@sammyrocky1865]

correct round is not too much. just put it where it should be. idk why gaijin has to be spoonfed the correct thing to do.

[@dontkev3001]

The Furry did it with its dont buy Ad xD

[@SilentButDudley]

Ammo needs to be fixed, movement speed fixed. Turret basket shouldn’t be considered the whole ring.

[@toxi4_]

looks like they didnt like spookstons video

[@henrykennell6719]

It is just a big money grab,just a HSTVL that cost money.

[@adhx7506]

Its mobility should be fixed next. This is not our goalline already, warriors.

[@gunmaster2652]

Nice that they fixed it

Why do you have under 100fps in the first map? You run RT? Why?

[@Aremi_Ariet]

how ya doing justin

[@Just_A_Random_Desk]

but did it get it's proper ammo?

[@CrispyPratt]

It has the right ammo, but the ammo itself is wrong as the velocity of the shells is too slow, irl it's around 200m/s faster

[@mattbrown7935]

Nada

[@diobrando2575]

@CrispyPratt Not just that, IRL it's a DU penetrator, as the game considers it to be a titanium penetrator. and unlike in game it's a long rod penetrator IRL. XM885's penetration should be on par with M774.

[@TostatosAGR]

Can you please do the SU-24M with the T-90M???

[@Juliiiiiien]

Once again no top tier premium for France While america get their 3rd one( i count squadron véhicules as premium)

[@Patton33]

hey, we're not happy about it either

[@unlink1649]

Look if it's too good just raise the BR. I hate when vehicles are nerfed. Balance tanks with BR only. If it's 14.0 it's 14.0 idc

[@thequintanahomestead3820]

Solid video

[@MarineCorpzor1]

Now buff the Abrams lower plate to what it should be, and give it the spall liner it has had since the beginning of its inception. It had a lead spall liner in the first versions, now it has a better one.

[@nikmub6023]

it has never had spall liner and does not have spall liner

[@dds7799]

it never had any spall liner and whatever cope you've heard before is straight up lies and deception

[@Sachiel-Imaizumi]

lower plate, yes, spall liner, no, it never had one

[@angelnunez6476]

The rubber insoles in the armor reduce spall. Not a spall liner since it’s not inside the tank but it does reduce spall like one. Abram’s crews also wear flak vests to reduce injuries to shrapnel

POV gaijin trying to fix Us top tier by putting another premium tank 🫡

[@Kwisss]

Gaijin accepts bug reports but takes forever to implement any of them. Clickbait + AIM made them go okay 5 second reload on Abrams + other tanks instead of fixing the issues with the tanks (Abrams - turret ring, fuel cell bulkhead, hydraulic pump being wrong). The other tanks have other problems which were bug reported ages ago but still haven't changed.
