British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Theres two photos of it, I can’t see any guns fitted, however its likely they brought it back to normal specifications after the trials were finished

Do were know roughly where the gun/s were fitted?

They dropped the AS.30 before the first prototype unfortunately. They could only be carried subsonic and required too much development work.

According to accounts provided to me by @FlyingOstridge, the BK-27 was mounted instead of the left hand side ADEN cannon

I suppose that if the TSR.2 is suggested that it can still count, as many vehicles have received both planned and tested armament in game

It replaced either both or just the left hand side gun (I’m not too sure). Allegedly this is a photo of the fitting which I took from This post from 8 years ago on Brit modeller

Great find
Can still be seen without the uuuuge photobucket watermark if you follow clicking the image in the britmodeller thread to view on photobucket directly

I’m sure you’ve all seen this

Looks like APHE is going to go from “Nuke APHE” to “AP but a bit better”

This should level the playing field a bit and comparitively make Britain low/mid tier quite a bit better

Just like real life…

It wasn’t even planned they carried out small scale wind tunnel tests and dropped them due to the limitations

Well it looks like I was wrong. the “no” vote is now winning

Looks like APHE is going to be buffed even more. It’s going to get the cone modelled as staying intact allowing it to penetrate secondary armour.

That removes the only advantage AP had, great change Gaijin

While I may not be able to read Russian I’m just going to assume it says in short “We Believe…”

Developers answer:

Does not require changes, by analogy with the fact that we round some values, for example, the AIM-9J also has 20, not 22

Because as Smin as said, the dev team that works on ground is different than the team that works on air. So doing whataboutism in regards to an air to air missile while using ground to air missiles as your examples doesn’t work.

Before you say Russian bias, R-60 was allegedly supposed to be 33G as well, but rounded down to 30G.

I know it’s not technically British but seeing as we have SA as a subtree… there’s speculation that the SuperHind/NightHawk might be coming in the major update, do we have any detailed information on the differences between the marks and general capabilities?


I know it’s not technically British but… woa deja vu. Anyways, Gripen getting it’s HMD corrected in the update!

Looks like Britain are getting the F111C too

Was hoping for some more iconic British jets but its still cool to have, hopefully we get more Aussie aircraft later on
