will also note they specifically chose the sister ship that didnt have a great 1940s refit and kept her in her jutland configuration, which is insane to me when we look at british ships and the only ship we have in the tech tree that is even remotely modern compared to everyone else is Hood, the most modern Battleship is 1927!
playing from Aus with high ping made the HVM useless except for Helis fuck that thing is so good against them. looking forward to having both

If there were TT QE’s with refitted AA I’d actually welcome a Jutland style addition of Barham so you don’t have to use a BB without AA as your tech tree option that’s just not viable in the modern top tier but the history is represented, but I don’t see QE, Valiant or Warspite or Malaya in the TT.
it was the legacy hornets that got ASRAAM, the supers use 9x’s
As a fellow Brit, I wanted to see the Nimrod with AIM-9s placed on the bomber line. The Aussies should have a line of their own.

tbf if gaijin actually cared about balance for naval the UK would have gotten a jutland QE class back when germany got the SMS Bayern considering the Bayern was built as the german counter to the QE class.
and considering we are just getting Amagi the UK in this update should have also gotten the HMS Nelson

TSR2 would have probably been the closest analogy to the F-111
V-Bombers and Things like the Nimrod whilst awesome. Are difficult to place

personally I love that we got it but why is it over BRed like come on gaijin, it has 2 stingers and the 25mm, the Gepard 1A2 has 4 stingers plus the dual 35mm cannons at a lower br and at the same BR you have the LAV-AD that has the 25mm 4 to 8 ready stingers and can take a rocket pod, not to mention is far more mobile

HMS Nelson/Rodney
HMS King George V
or
HMS Queen Elizabeth (WW2 Refit)
would all be appropriate to be added at this point. Not even asking for all 3 to be added in quick succession. But come on. HMS Hood is over 2 years old by this point.
Only thing that I can think of, Is that it can scout (I think) like the Stormer HVM can. I dont know if the others can or not
BAC TSR-2, V-Bombers, the Avro Ashton, the Tornado GR.4, the F-111K, it’s not like there weren’t any better alternatives
yeah honestly if not soon we could see HMS lion (1938) as an actual balanced ship which would be depressing because the one place the UK could have led the meta and suddenly gaijin cant find a single ship with modern anti air to give us? or literally any of our inter war refits or designs.
I think the LAV-AD can not sure about the gepard either way that is no reason to be at the BR its at
UK not big 3 and all the things that go with that. $

You’ve been told many times now the F-111K isn’t suitable for war thunder
its funny because the UK should have been the top nation in naval but gaijin always finds a way to duck over the UK

Didn’t the F-111F have a distinctive, modern HUD? It seems like the HUD from the F-111A has been directly transplanted into the F-111F on the dev server.
Just like how the functional HUD and RWR that should have been implemented in the F-1 weren’t, because the cockpit of the Mitsubishi T-2 was transplanted directly into it, I’m worried that the F-111F might also lose its functional HUD.

G3 and Lion were both laid down, which meets requirements for something to be considered for implementation iirc
Stormer AD has 8 stingers. 2 ready and 6 in storage.
But I do agree that 9.7 would be better for the Stormer AD.
