[@Daddo22]

@@salashwill3993 Yes, ethanol was one of the tested options, but you'd need more than the 40% that usual Vodka has. Gas-turbine engines can run on pretty much anything liquid that combusts in air mixture, but different fuels have vastly varying efficiency and the level of fowling they produce (ethanol burns extremely cleanly). This is Germans were trying to develop gas-turbine engines at the end of WW2 derived from the JUMO engines used in Me-262. They even managed to equip and test drive a Jagdtiger(maybe multiple) using such engine.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@rhdrivingslovenia6413I’m sorry, claiming that the entire Russian tech tree has no jets that can compete with/counter against an A-6 Intruder ? No way lmfao. Also, what “gazillion” American attackers are you referring to ? Are you talking about the multiple American attack jets or the amount of A-10s in air battles ? And to counterpoint your first question: Are the multiple Su-25 variants that take half of the opposing team not good for you as well ?

[@boijames3253]

@rhdrivingslovenia6413 Ok, first of all, I said “the entire Russian tech tree” not just jets below Tram’s br. You’re comparing an attack aircraft made in the early 60’s designed to drop bombs from far away to early Cold War Soviet CAS aircrafts (50’s, except for the Yak-38 which was introduced in 1970’s) when the A-6 also meets other fighter jets that can easily take it out. It sees higher or same br most of the time. Even if we’re only talking about 10.0 and below, there are still several Soviet jets that can easily avoid the A-6 or take it down due to their superior air performance (excluding Yak-28B because barely anyone plays that thing), the opposing team can have multiple Mig-21s and Mig-19s to take care of the Intruder cause hundreds of flares ain’t gonna do any good against a supersonic that strafes you and flies away (albeit rarely happens in regular battles). Su-25s are notoriously known for being difficult to take down even if you aim for it’s weak points due to it having a good airframe, it also gets All-aspects and a good amount of countermeasures as well. It’s funny how players in the tech tree that gets special treatment by a Russian company say that their jets are being “mistreated” when they are consistently winning more than half of the time.

[@xeon5334]

The Merkavas Mk.4, Mk.3 and Mk.2D have a proximity-fused shell. You didn't use it in the video (Top MBT Thriatlon in Episode 345), for some reason. The Merkava's (From Mk.3 and above) frontal armor plate also features an internal ERA protection, making it invincible to even a hit from a DM53 120 mm APFSDS shell in the frontal armor plate. The Merkava Mk.4 is also equipped with exported DM53 shells, locally named 'Hetz-2' (Arrow-2). I hope you will add this changes to the Merkavas (Mk.3B, Mk.3C, Mk.3D - only the HE-VT (proximity fused) shells and the internal ERA; Mk.4B, Mk.4 LIC, Mk.4M - also the Arrow-2 (DM53) shell). You nerfed the Merkavas from the very begining. That's so unfair. You also need to add a softkill APS, add-on armor protection against ATGMs and a coaxial M2HB 12.7 mm machine gun to the Merkava Mk.4 LIC. You also need to add LAHAT Mk.3 ATGM to the Merkavas Mk.3 B and C and Merkava Mk.2D, The LAHAT Mk.4 ATGM to Merkavas Mk.4 B and LIC, and the LAHAT Mk.5 ATGM to the Merkava Mk.4M (LAHAT ATGM is a Spike ATGM fired from a tank gun). And if you added the Ariete AMV and the Challanger 2E, you now need to add the new Merkava Mk.4 Barak (entered the active service in the last January).
