to be fair US can get GBU-53, strike eagle can carry 28 of those too
and a lot of the russian/soviet prototypes are pretty cool, wouldnt mind seeing them.
9x is a major stretch though
F-18 never will be as good as USAF kit until we get the super horent with all its missiles. as a pure multirole carrier jet it has a bunch of tradeoffs to raw potency compared to an eagle.
Thats my point exactly tho.
There is literally no point for it in-game. It invalidates ground battles as a mode, and even in Air Sim its WAY overkill (you could kill 2 entire battlefields alone, or kill 1 battlefield and ever convoy on the map, basicly after just ~2min of flight, maybe more if you need to use the radar to guide it into seeker range.
The 114L is a bad addition, any 16x ATGM helicopter getting F&F munitions was a bad addition. Kh-38M’s were a bad addition, etc…
None of these enhance gameplay, they literally just make ground players unwilling targets that cant fight back, and destroy the balance in air battles because the gameplay hasnt caught up to the munitions being added or demanded.
9X isnt even that major of a stretch, its arguably the least advanced of all 5th gen IR missiles, using the old AIM-9 architecture, pretty sure the block 1 straight up uses the AIM-9M motor, just has a better seeker and actuators/TVC.
i mean i get the ground player thing but it cost nearly 10x as much to spawn full loaded CAS jet vs a tank so CAS deserves the advantage
so because cas cost a lot (tough not “a lot” enough that you can still get it easily, 1 kill and a cap will get you fully load cas) it deserve the “advantage” of to be able to kill half enemy ground player in one sortie while being untouchable by ground player? seem balance /s
Britain have mor CAS options then Germany… We talking about plane, not about who have tanks…
Some people just need said “advantage” to be able to get kills and make themselfs fell like they are decent players.
Not me though, I’m just extremely shit at CAS whether I get an advantage or not.
Assuming we received T1 blk.5, and then make list the elements that can be used.
I will approach this as conservatively as possible.
6x AIM-120A/B + 2x AIM-9LI
4x AIM-120A/B + 4x AIM-9LI
3x Fuel tanks
6x GBU-48 1000lbs LGB
LITENING II TPOD
HMDS
MAWS
320 BOLs
32 55mm CMs
anything else? I have written this excluding technical compatibility or formal feasibility.
This is the bare minimum frankly
I’d go so far as to say britain is one of the best CAS nations in game, especially with their GR.7 which is still extremely capable with maverick/TGP combo, same applies to the SAAF gripen. Cherry on top is the IIR PGMs they just got on the tornado, suppose it nakes up for their tanks and recently crappy heli
that’s why. I want to know what can be minimum spec we can have.
Because I don’t expect from gaijin.
I’d gamble that the best A-A loadout we’ll see this patch would be 6 AMRAAMs and 2 Sidewinders, whether M or L/I is gaijin’s choice but as long as it’s paired with HMD and the radar is correctly modelled (for an early CAPTOR-M) then it will be balanced and still very good, any less and there is a major problem since it wouldn’t be any better at BVR than an F-4F ICE or F3 Late
Worst case scenario its still probably gonna be better than the PS/05-A from the Gripen, also its claimed to have twice the power output of the AN/APG-65 on the AV-8B+.
pretty sure for that, we can find many phothos of it.
I don’t expect we can get dual launchers for IR missile.
I know that from somewhere.
I love flying but i am shit at dodging pantsirs.
I am way more effective in the tiger uht wheb the map allows it. But I prefer planes even when it results me often not contrabuting in that specifix spawn😂
We gathered a lot material/ prove for a 12 missle loadout.
6 wvr 6 bvr at once
but we cannot get those when gaijin said “passed for consideration.”
cause iTs tOO pOWerFul for gaijin. that’s why I don’t expect for
That words means nothing after all…
yeah
Well they already have the basis down in the ferranti blue vixen, it’s only really simple for them to boost power, track rate, range and add a few modes; It’s a major upgrade in all regards and should reflect it in game
Not credible sources for the most part, devs prefer documents and operational images compared to armament tables from 3rd party sources
