British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Flames spread sheet Vs in-game.

It’s likely that is accurate, but there is every chance Gaijin will find differing sources. Wouldn’t be the first time

Nope, j out returns you to vehicle selection, even on the runway

I noticed this happening on Escalation whenever I wanted to switch from the small nuke to the big one despite having landed the small nuke plane on the airfield intact. Hopefully they can fix this in the future and just deduce the SP difference from your balance instead of forcing you to pay the full SP cost.

I assume it doesn’t happen on Air RB/Sim because planes don’t have a SP cost.

Yeah, you can swap all you like (though if last alive, it can trigger the match loosing thing in ARB)

Though in ASB I wish you could make custom loadouts in match

The fundamental flaw of the AS.37 is simply its slow subsonic flight speed.
While it is a welcome upgrade for the Buccaneer S.2B, the lengthy flight time lets enemy SPAA either shoot down the missile or shut off radar to break lock easily.
For the Tornado GR.1, PGM500 remain the more reliable option in most matches. It is disappointing that Gaijin still refuses to implement the ALARM for the Tornado GR.1

I love the BAE hawks and do want to see the 120 and 203 but I know they all can’t be tech tree without being gimped out of loadouts like the T10 harrier was

A Hawk 203 and 205 would make very good event and/or premiums

but would be nicer to have as tech tree aircraft

I’d quite like an early hawk, even maybe a T1 at like 8.3/8.7 with just a gun pod for A2A

full arm loadout with my buddy bringing the tv ones, Same thing we do at 12.3 where i bring 4 alarms, 4 pgms and a bomb while he brings mainly kh29s.

Or itll finally let him play the su 25 without being accosted by spaa for once.

Now that the su 25 has been moved down to 9.7 im kinda hoping we get our own low tier cas plane, im hoping we see the a4k eventually.

Yeah, that is strong if you’ve got someone to do that with

Could do the T.1 at 8.3/8.7 with unguided rockets and bombs + gunpod and a T.2 around 9.7-10.0 with 9L.

Maybe also the Hawk 100 to fit a CAS role too.

9L would always be 10.3+

But one with SRAAMs maybe?

AIM-9Gs are an option for lower BR

Don’t know if this is R.550 Magic 1 or Magic 2

Either iirc

Magic 1 or Aim-9Gs would be another option for Sub 10.0.

They look like Magic 1s to me. The only real way I know to tell them apart is that the Magic 2 has small notches cut out of the leading edge of the rear fins.

I would really prefer not, We already have the Harrier GR.1 and Hunter F.6 pushed to a BR where they’re struggling severely

Especially as only 1 test Hunter F.6 got SRAAM, and Harrier GR.1 never carried SRAAM ever (its only ever been seen mounted on a trainer variant)

A 9.0 Hunter F.6 and 9.0 Harrier GR.1 (possibly W/ AIM-9B) would be pretty damn good

Something with SRAAMs and Flares though would be something different.

With a way worse FM than either F6 and GR1… Could make for an interesting aircraft for 9.3/9.7

Man I just wish they added Sraam-100 FR FR

I would love a hawk with sraam, but the thing i think deserves it the most is the jag. It would suit its play style far more than the harrier or hunters. The AOA it can pull would help alot in the dog fights if you had access to sraam.

A hawk with sraam at 10.0 with flares seems fine to me, a jag at 10.0, 10.3 with no flares but sraam and phimat would be quite nice and not too hard to balance as its just a slightly better hunter with still no flares but with enough hard points for rockets for it not to matter too much. I mean, the only time i use rockets are for all aspect missiles anyway as most of the time im paying attention so as to not get into situations where i have to use them.
