God I can’t wait for this update to come out… my plane cannons are itching to farm the noobs that spawn these and use them as a mobile MG nest
Any news about BR changes? Still can’t find any informations, yet.

And also no informations about fixing the server stability? Because they’ve been failing more frequently for some time now
I suspect that they will announce another testing for the next weekend, in which they will show us the BR and balancing changes.
does that usually happen?
Yes we need a bunch really (and some tech tree cleanup).
It does sometimes happen with major changes… which they might be doing, if they’re trying to fast roll-out larger squad sizes for the new Driver squads (which was forwarded last Tuesday). Last time they did something like this was when they removed the PPSh S from the tech tree and replaced it with a 20-round AVT.
If increasing Driver squad sizes is what they’re doing, they’ll definately want another round of Beta tests to have them tried out, to see how they preform in game with and against real players, and to get more feedback from that.

I hope so
While using the Japanese Jeep “Type 95 Kurogane”, you cannot see anything directly ahead because your hand completely blocks the view. This puts you at a serious disadvantage compared to the Jeeps of other nations.
Type 95 Kurogane
Kübelwagen 82
Willys M1919A4
GAZ-64 DS-39
Fron my point of view the japanese jeep is penalized not only with a significantly worse machine gun (compared to the other nations), but also with far poorer visibility, making it impossible to spot enemies directly ahead.

They could put the hand on the stock rather than on the back of the gun blocking the sights (and view as you say). Or move the POV up by a foot.

Shouldn’t have asked to change from the te-4 
Because either option as it stands is historically inaccurate.
The eyes are above the hand - so technically the soldiers should be able to look over the hand straigh forward
So thats a thing Gaijin messed up

Again… this wouldnt be an issue if you had the te 4 MG… also the tpye 11 mg is much worse than all the other MGs on the cars
i think this is awesome… is punishing you for being ungrateful for what you were originally given.
I know. But I don’t thing DEV’s will change the MG.
But at least they could fix that visual bug

i will agree with that… however i just cannot get over the irony of it all.

Who asked for it to change though? probs best not to know but why?
the mg change?
[even then from what ive seen from other members this configuration with it mounted from the back wasnt even used anyway… so if they refuse to change it to how it was irl best to just have the superior MG used instead of the bad one.

That’s good to know but I was thinking who and why did they change from the superiour te-4 to the objectively inferior Type 11, HA purist fanatics? seems silly this is a game after all balance and game play are the more important issue over HA IMO especially if it’s something small like this. it’d be like turning down the Lewis on a CMP and saying no I must have the Bren because …

I made a topic here to try to convince the devs to change the Type 11 LMG by the Type 92 HMG, feel free to check it out:
But basically, it wouldn’t affect too much the stats of the vehicle: the Type 11 LMG shoots 6.5 mm at 500 rpm, while the Type 92 HMG shoots 7.7 mm at 450 rpm.
-This would be likely more historical according to my research
-It would fix the visibility problem because of its the spade grips a bit similar to the DS-39, and your visibility wouldn’t be hampered (especially because there isn’t the big “spoon” of the Type 11’s hopper, lol)
AND
-It wouldn’t be too hard to do because the Type 92 HMG is already ingame: it is the standard MG nest you can build when playing Japan (not to be confused with the HMG nest with the Type 93 HMG in 13.2 mm), so the gun is already fully modeled ingame. The devs would only have to swap the guns and rework a bit the position of the gunner, and maybe rework the part where the gun is attached on the pintle a little bit.
