THE SHOOTING RANGE 296: Active Protection Systems / War Thunder

[@KeybladeMaster9913]

Glad to see you're doing well Bruce. That covid scare nearly gave me a heart attack. My question is will older aircraft get updated weapon loadouts, and possible other variants, i.e. the B-25's getting rockets, the A-20 getting it's night fighter variant, the B-25g, B-26g, etc?

Fun fact: Iron fist is also an Israeli APS, originally developed by IMI and Elbit as a backup for the Trophy system (which was developed by Rafael and Elta) in case the project failed.

@@bigoof1105 naaah we WT players just get pessimistic about it. If you step back and look at the game as a whole, it's awesome, especially when you don't have too spend a dime too play, or access 99.99% of it's content. It really is a great game, yes it has flaws, so does everything in this world.

Q: I've noticed the ZTZ99 series has an APS system ontop of the turret, does that mean it'll get an APS system added to it soon?

[@yizhenji5564]

That’s not an APS. The early ZTZ99 has LWS, but the APS is not implemented until the introduction of the ZTZ99A(which is literally a completely new MBT)

[@dragoon96]

oh thanks

[@yizhenji5564]

@@dragoon96 You’re welcome

[@walterchau1484]

The devs said they are working on it as of last November, now we have hard kill (physical) APS; we will see how the dazzler works if it ever gets implemented

[@BatteredWalrus]

Well the two we have in-game only have a very limited soft kill dazzler system mounted, it won't affect most of the ATGMs/AGMs it'll encounter at it's BR, you'd have better luck with the Type 59 and type 79 prototypes that mounted it.

There already is an entire video on that.

[@commanderkei9537]

Gaijin, please, consider adding the German frankenpanzers made by Alfred Becker for Halloween. He was such an amazing engineer and a true pioneer not only in design but in doctrine. I understand that a lot of his vehicles were one of a kind and that the documents probably aren’t there to make an accurate model in war Thunder, but even as a fun little event it’d be an amazing homage to the person that practically invented modern self propelled artillery

[@theScottishKoala]

Hi guys, my question is; What do the developers look for when selecting/creating a new map? What specific points are you looking to build into the maps, or intentionally avoid?

[@americanhat3766]

Q: On some planes there is an option for "Ground Targets" and/or "Armoured Target" belts, but on a fair amount of planes (take the BF-109 F-4's 20mm gun for this specific example) the Ground/Armored target belts do less and/or equal pentation compared to the "Air Target" belts; Why is this? and can the speed of your plane effect those pentation rates?

[@123123boobies]

Hey dude so they have the same pen but the air target belt has 4 of the 6 rounds in the belt as HE rounds which are better for destroying planes. The AP rounds kinda just go right through if you dont hit the engine. Also plane speed doesnt change penetration as far as i know. I hope this helped in some way

[@Gunship]

Somehow this episode was better and more interesting than many previous ones. I think all segments were interesting and well made, maybe that's why?!

[@yosef_tetro]
