Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

I mean, adding a plane and weapons to it later is a thing that happend before. That is why i do not ride on the ARH hype too much

Right now i have the lowest expectations with what smin has been saying so far. For all we know the new jets will come with placeholder armaments.

And that last bit we know was never planned to happen regardless. It’s simple as far as I can see:

Gaijin confirmed the Gripen C, Gaijin confirmed a new aircraft for britain and sweden and Gaijin denied the Typhoon.

So we know which planes britain and sweden are getting. And any further coping about the Typhoon is a waste of time as it won’t change anything.

Hawk 200 without ASRAAM or AMRAAM would be 4 aim9M and 2x Skyflash, on subsonic puts it at less fire power than the Tornado F3 at 11.3

Gripens only BVR is AMRAAM. So wouldn’t be top tier with IR only

The Netz is top tier with IR only…

Right, so our new top tier won’t be a ground attacker

From what I’ve found so far the Gripen was “confirmed” by a single dev on the russian forums and said to be PLANNED for this year on the english forums by a tech mod

I’m not saying opposite. Sea Harrier FA2 is more likely this year. Not Gripen. But Typhoon for me was always likely early to mid next year.

And semi confirmed in the Hungarian aviation question too

Would you happen to have a link to that?

Just bored as hell in bombing bases in the Tornado Gr1 at the moment. That’s all I’ve done in 10 months. I’ve not touched WT in weeks. Last update was nothing. This update looks like little hope for Britain ground. Only hope is we get maybe something. Anything for air

Q: Do you plan to include Hungarian aviation in the future for the Italian tree as was also done with Finland for the Swedish tech tree? It could offer some interesting opportunities such as the Me 210C, L-39, MiG-29 and Gripen, as well as Mi-24 and Mi-8.
A: Yes, we do. With this major update, 3 Hungarian helicopters — the Mi-24D, Mi-24V and premium Mi-24P have been added.

If you’ve got the Gr1 then you also have access to loads of other very interesting jets.
When was the last time you touched lower rank jets?

I feel you. I am too. But you are going realy hard on the forum rn, and that is hurting your reputation. I respect you as a fellow human beeing and i do not want you to turn into the like that can be seen on the forum.

In SB they aren’t really fun for me. Waiting for Red tops and SRAAM to be fixed to open up those jets as an option. Everything else is a bit meh. Not really found fun. I’ve tried quite a few in SB

Ah, that one, thank you

Not really sure if I’d call that a confirmation for the Gripen, but I can see how that would imply one

Perhaps, just frustrated that every update includes really interesting and capable jets for some nations, and they still haven’t even finished some we got a year ago, not too mention adding anything new for us.

If i can give a suggestion, try playing Spit lf mk 9. I find this Spit the most relaxing.

Yea I guess they want something to hold the Air side as the Gripen would over the Mig 29.
So it would make sense for the air sub tree to be delayed
