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

Only EAP

EAP didnt have any munitions or combat capability. DA.2 for all intents and purposes could’ve been put against an aircraft and fought

I swear yesterday he said only full production Typhoons would come or something

Especially if they did a F-16AJ or Yak-141 for it and made it a bit of an amalagam of Typhoon prototypes. So engines from the first few that use the Tornado engines, weapons, radar and counter measures from the slight later variants

Only thing stated was No Typhoons soon.

Except, Canada is also far closer to the US than it is to the UK, so this isn’t really a valid line of reasoning.

and South Africa is?

Ahh my bad then, sorry.

On another note maybe theres gonna be a new heli for britain this update?

Let me clarify, China does not have the same level of options, and are far more difficult for Gaijin to research/model all that on a TT with a minor nation player base. The MLU should be a 16C equivalent receiving the same LGBs/Mavs and missiles, I have supported and created bug reports to that effect, however Gaijin chooses what it wants in the end.

Yes, China has many things that could be added, and I hope they do, I am still waiting for the J-10 and JH-7, however those vehicles likely wont be coming soon due to the massive leap in advancement the PLAAF has made in the last 2 decade. The result is China will have MANY options in the upcoming years but is in an awkward in between spot now. They have CAS, its fairly good, but they dont have the options for better atm.

Wessex could be cool but hopefully something more modern. Maybe Wildcat?

Australia and Canada are the closest to UK in terms of being able to give a modern vehicle to Britian. I choose to believe Canada takes that place, as their vehicles (like ADATS) fit within the UK style and are more distinct than say Australia, with its Abrams.

The flip could be said though, and that’s totally fair. Either or, I think F/A-18 / CF-18 is our absolute, best case scenario :)

Did the sea lynx carry anything other than torps?

I have no idea im afraid

Shame, tried asking at the FAA museum aswell earlier but they didnt seem to know either

Stormer is quite good imo, just doesnt have the reach that Pantsir or ITO gets

They might know over in British Helicopter Tech Tree - Discussion Topic

That is a EAP with mock up munition to see its performance with additional weight
