according to the leaked content, Sweden has obtained the Tiger King and completely replaced Germany
Sweden is the new Carol Baskin
Spoiler
who is he?
Tiger King, aka Joe Exotic
will we be getting anything new in squad vehicles department?
Are the Martels actually going to be able to hit ships or are they going to be left bugged and next to unusable like the Kormoran missiles have been since introduction?

okay, this may be a translation issue. I usually refer to Tiger B/II as Tiger King

Never had them in real life as far as I know
Not a translation issue, originally it was called “Royal Tiger” by british troops who were the first to see them in Normandy 1944. just different names for it with King Tiger being the most common

They should be man in the loop TV guided. They sent video back to the launch aircraft over data link and the crew could then fly the missile from a first person perspective.

No worries, i am only joking. The “Tiger King”/“King Tiger” actually is derived from the ambigous “Königstiger” which is the german name for the bengal tiger.

As i said they were trialed
There is a problem though with man in the loop TV guiding. When the range of the missile is 60 km it can become very powerful. IMO, a cool feature to reduce the OPness of such TV guidance would be to physically switch to the weapons technician seat and guide it via the screen in the cockpit.

Somehow I doubt they’ll be introduced with the guidance like that and will just be given the same type of contrast TV guidance as the Mavs, at least on introduction anyway, I’ll be very exited for them if they do get the correct guidance though
The AJ168s have a different approach to the ships than the Kormoran. Where the Kormoran is somewhat sea-skimming, the AJ168 attacks from altitude. ie, the AJ168 performs a steep dive onto the ships. This would reduce the problem with the buggy hitboxes and stuff.
