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

I guess that might be our new top tier jet then ?

Yeah, but they are probably not going to

At most its going to be co-development and support in selling it. Probably to Ukraine and not buy and operate them themselves as part of the RAF

We can hope, but I’m not optimistic.
I’m expecting Sea Harrier FA.2 or a Tornado with AMRAAMs. Both garbage.

279 is gonna have tough times in uptier 10.0 like M1128 with M900 round

Yes I know I was agreeing with you, I was just stating it was a strategic partnership to develop more for the aircraft and sell it to Ukraine.

Great Lvrbv at 9.7

And only needed a premium A32A for Gaijin to realize that it was overtiered

FA2 would be fine initially, with the right advantages. but the issue is it would be outdated fast without constant buffs.

Best guess is if we get gripen, it would be the Gripen D not the SAAF Gripen C and it would be the update after Sweden got Gripen C, so maybe March

seeing how their pilots are already being trained in the f16 it seems more likely to me that the ukraine will be buying f16 in the future

So?

Vehicles shouldn’t be balanced around uptiers, they should be balanced at their appropriate BR.

So? Tornado F3 stands no chance vs F-16C, Tornado F3 to 10.3 so it can never see uptiers?

Yes, again I’m just going off the article I just posted above haha. It was a British think tank that came up with the Gripen E sale to Ukraine. I only brought this up because I thought y’all would find it interesting

Ofc gaijin have to break the 9.0, 9.3 and 10.0 italian lineup. Want to Place the Hungarian T-72 in a lineup? Bring a 9.3 lineup at 9.7 or 9.0 at 9.3
Also with this br changes the Ariete (P) Is going to have a higher br than the turms.
Gaijin Never fail to disappoint me

Even if they give it AMRAAMs and 9Ms, it will be so boring to use at top tier. It’s a strike aircraft repurposed for carrier fleet defence. It’s brilliant in it’s role, but it is not going to be remotely fun to use at top tier imo. The UK hasn’t had a properly manoeuvrable competitive fighter added in years.

9.0 is a bad BR, ive played it and 9 games are constant full uptier

Everything suffers in up tier. If it will do bad they will change again

Just like 8.0 will struggle against the 279. Aka the war thunder ecosystem at work.

7.7*

Hunter F6 was the last by my count.

It can only use AMRAAM so it will have that. Its main hope is the best radar in game for the forseeable future and it can pull cheeky VIFFs so will be better than F3. But it wont be a brawler. But i’d rather get it now where it might be compettive briefly, than in 2 years as a TT filler facing uptiers.

SAAF gripen? Pliz no :(

We have the Gripen D
