Hornet’s Sting Pre-orders: EC-665 Tigre HAD-E and F-16A Block 10 Netz

strengthen players up by giving the goodies to better players to fight so that the Americans get absolutely hammered when its their turn

‘Big 3’ nation has to steal vehicles from a ‘minor’ nation to flesh out its tree… the irony, huh?

Well…

I am going to start talking about this Tigre HAD.

The Spanish EC-665 Tigre HAD although it has the possibility to carry Hellfire missiles, it has NEVER done so, the Spanish army bet from the beginning to equip its EC-665 Tigre with Spike missiles, while the French and Australian army decided for the Hellfire. And this has been demonstrated to Gaijin in multiple reports that have been sent to him since the Dev Server was released.

spike

And what is Gaijin’s response to this information?

“Not a Bug. The version coming to the game will be without Spikes so it can have an appropriate BR.”

Ok. It is understandable and even right that they do not offer for sale a vehicle that is equal or superior to the best branch vehicle (in this case better than the EC-665 Tiger UHT).

So, would you be able to provide a solution to this “problem”?

Yes. Exchange this Spanish EC-665 Tigre HAD for the Australian EC-665 Tiger ARH and give to choose one of the two options.

1st Option: Put the Spanish EC-665 Tigre HAD with their respective Spike as squadron helicopter.

2nd Option: Put the EC-665 Spanish Tigre HAD with its respective Spike after the EC-665 Tiger UHT.

That being concluded, I’ll move on to the following.

Gaijin releases a Spanish helicopter without any kind of historical accuracy even with information/documentation against it. The VRCC Centauro was removed from sale, no reason was given and to date it is still not available again in any way. I am not going to say anything about the AV-8S ‘Matador’ since at least in the description of it they said it was developed for the Spanish Navy. Also, I have been looking for some congratulations from Gaijin to the Spanish Armed Forces Day and I have not found any congratulations. I have also looked for some congratulation on the day of Hispanidad and I have only found 2. One in the year 2015 and another in the year 2016.

I found the one for 2015 in English. But the 2016 one is only available in Spanish.
And the rest of the years, why haven’t there been more congratulations? For Gaijin the day Cristóbal Colón “discovered” America is not relevant enough?
And the day of our armed forces?

As a Spaniard I feel sadness and impotence to see how Gaijin treats its player base in this nation and even knowing that this post is not going to get anywhere nor will they do anything to change any of this.

But this vehicle still should not go to Germany. It was again a French export.

Germany should just go without in this case like every other nation that faces a similar issue.

I hate to admit it but I am going to order the Netz. I promised myself I would fully support the Israeli TT because it doesn’t get enough love and it’s a fun and challenging TT to play.

I feel you man, my Canadian and austrialan friends are in the same boat (although not quiet as bad) Players from that country should decide where their stuff goes

Enjoy it bro. Shame the tech tree netz is left behind. I prefer it when the devs come up with compromise vehicles, better in one but might loose out in the other. This netz is just better in every way

Anyway, this will set a fun precedence. Co-developed vehicles which were exported can now go to any one of the developer countries regardless of who actually exported it (and any modifications).

The F-16A Block 10 Netz is asking for my money. But I’m stronger, I’ll wait for a sale.

Probably because France has 3 top rank helicopters including a premium and Germany has 1
