I’m tearing up a little bit with this devblog
I’ve studied the First Gulf War from start to bottom, it’s the conflict i’m most prepared with,and seeing this much focus on the Gulf War while reading this post was really fantastic
And the Desert Pink skin? it’s a historian’s wet dream
It’s a shame that i’m not invested into the British Tech Tree,but after this news I might want to grind it
according to the leaked content, Sweden has obtained the Tiger King and completely replaced Germany
Sweden is the new Carol Baskin
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.
with more than 100kg of explosive it will destroy some tanks : )
Have you got any evidence for that? I think I recall a rough sketch for a proposed bomb bay gun pack, but I’ve done a lot of reading about the Buccaneer and never seen anything to suggest one was actually tested.
Is the Pave Spike TGP ever going to get refitted to any of the US aircraft (in the US tree) that could equip it?
The F-4E and F-4C / -4D could really use another look as US airframes in general rarely ever seem to have access to their full spectrum of ordnance, or other features(e.g. AN/ASX-1 TISEO) that for all intents and purposes should be present, but aren’t for some reason considering that they are already implemented on what is practically the same vehicles in other trees ( Kurnass 2000)?
The Kormorans aren’t even sea skimming in game though, as long as the point of aim remains brokenly set as the top of the tallest point on a ship they’re more than likely going to overshoot on side aspect launches or will fuze on a mast and do minimal shrapnel damage to the ships
