Testing the next update (April 17th)

Whats the rate of fire on the 262 50mm? (From memory in Warthunder its pretty decent

Usually i would say give it all aphe…but if the rate of fire is decent, maybe HE/APHE could be quite effective/interesting?

And yes poor fw 190 A-8 out turned by 262 :wink:

the biggest downside to HEAT is that you need to snipe ammo racks and pry the RNG god that you explode the tank (there is a small chance that he only loses the ammo instead of exploding).

Can’t say exact number, but it’s pretty high in Enlisted as well.

Nice.

Was just going to wait till i recieved mine on live…perhaps i better to test it now though (concern on ammunition belt)

If its warthunder default its aphe/HEI/HEI

The price of the new BR2 soviet rifle is wrong, it should be 300 not 750 :

The picture for the Uragan is unrelated :

It is not like there are many new things in this update and yet many are bugged…

As a side note, the price of the Itaca is still 300 while it should be 125… this was already reported a long time ago

I cannot wait for the BR changes to be applied with the weapons price being wrong again…

I min max soviets. I snipe with PPS42 so much I dont use any other weapon except the BP PP-BV SMG (which is just upgraded PPS42). So 100% disagree. damage drop off doesnt matter much when 7 rounds land in ur chest and head.

Worst accuracy of every Soviet SMG available ingame bar 1.
Ive upgraded it fully and tested it on assaulter 4s.

Doesnt compare to a basic PPS42 past 40m. Ill maybe use it as a secondary for CQB.

Honestly only its slightly larger total ammo capacity is the only upside for me. You guys are crying about the wrong gun. :cry:

But we can agree to disagree. Let the peeps bugfix.

Has the ithica’s pump animation been fixed @Euthymia07 ?

The jets seem a bit too good.

The overheating of engines goes away in seconds it seems, and they are IMO a bit too good at turning considering their insane speed in comparison to prop planes.

As you said: its a partisan gun, though obrez has worse dispersion. Not that it matters much if you are using it as you should a high DPS close range SMG.

You aren’t supposed to be shooting for long distances with a 0.74 dispersion gun, you probably want something like M3A1 submachine gun which has 0.52 dispersion or a rifle.
In fact, it should be worrying that players use SMGs even for long range rather than rifles.

So basically it won’t be good enough for BR3 because it won’t be a powercreep.

Something strange that should be fixed with the new release:

As we know, this beretta got moved back to br2.
It’s good, but… it’s rather far away in the tech tree. there’s 2 br3 smgs BEFORE it.

  • Would it make sense to rearrange unlocks in all faction trees, following the new BRs?

It should definitely be put into folder with the other beretta.

M3A1 has nothing on it (although its ok).
10/5 recoil is not 8/2. its +25% vertical/+150% horizontal better recoil control on the PPS. Thats what matters re follow up shots for full auto sniping.

I think the few SMGs with 2 horizontal recoil are OP; Axis Orita M1941 is premium tho and lower ROF, prem Beretta M38 comes close but only has 20rd clip. TT Jap Type 100 smgs are fantastic, but arguably JP needs it.

tldr Uragan is better than PPS43, which makes sense since it comes after it in TT.
paradoxically its NOT better than PPS42, which is the true GOAT (since it does everything).
Ppsh41 simply surpasses all 3.

@Euthymia07 I noticed they shifted the bomb drop points forward more.

They are still a little too far back


Kinda the whole problem, both Pps42 and Pp43 out perform most BR3 SMGs, but Darkflow must love bullying new players since instead of moving these up on BR, more SMGs that were higher are getting lower BR instead, like the Soumi kp26 which was BR4? At merge and now will be BR2 because its a +1 round Pps43.

Can I just say that it does appear the 262 50mm has APHE/HEI (judging by tracer colours)

Need to try it some more but at first glance I think this is probably a good belt. Makes it slightly less NICHE (not just Anti Vehicle)…better potential VS APCS and Some use against infantry.

IMO knee jerk reaction to have changed atm. Will keep messing with it

Agree, lots of the SMG balance between br2-4 has been atrocious. At least the first balance patch in a long time goes ways to start rectifying this.

The Sherman II and Sherman II Battle Pass do not have the two new camos that are available for the other Commonwealth Tanks (“Summer Camouflage” and "Bicolor Summer Camouflage blots), as shown below:



Brotha, you’s gonna tell me what the BP weapon for Germany is?!

Apart from its high Cadence as is its Vertical, Horizontal Recoil, Reload speed and Bullet dispersion?
