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

The Finnish government purchased Hornets without air-to-ground capability due to the Paris Peace Treaties in 1947-Bombers were mentioned in the text of the treaty, but in reality they were interpreted as all air-to-surface capabilities.-, and the Finnish Hornet got air-to-ground capability with the MLU 2 Upgrade (2012-2016).

However, the Finnish F/A-18 after the MLU 2 upgrade is equipped with the AIM-9X and AIM-120C, so we don’t expect to see it soon.

r27er is the most advanced r27

BAE Hawk would be a great addition for the 10.7-11 range for Britain, but I’d be concerned about relying on trainers for top tier, even just for CAS. But yeah, they would all be great jets to add.

Yeah, Early Typhoons would also be great for both Britain and Germany as well. With neither having a Gen 4 till the Typhoon, Only Gen 3s with AMRAAM. I think we may see a very early Typhoon this year now. Before R-73/Aim-9M and the addition of 12.3 jets. I thought more like Q2 next year, but now…

It was the R-27EA I recall someone else mentioning. Figured it was a more advanced version of the R-27E. But its certainly going to be interesting how they balance everything. Though a small part of me is expecting the Soviets to get R-37 to “counter” Aim-120As. but that should be highly unlikely

I guess F-16C Block 50 armed ARH BVRAAM AIM-120B & AIM-120C-3

You guess gaijin another 4th generation AAM with IRCCM from EU, China, Israel & Japan next quarter ?

I wonder Gripen C from Hungarian & South African armed active radar homing BVRAAM similar to AIM-120C-5 ?

I think we need to have a poll thread to see if players want to rename the tree to Scandinavia.

Iirc BvvD said in that Q&A video that a nation is named after the amount if vehicles it has.

Britain is almost certainly going to be Sea Harrier FA2 probably also with a Tornado F3 CSP
Germany is probably getting F-4 ICE
China is getting PL-12 on the J8-F
Israel is probably getting ARH on their new F-16
Japan I guess F2?
Italy AMRAAM on F-16 and/or AV-8B+

But I think Germany and Britain are going to need EF Typhoon sooner rather than later. And Italy wouldnt benefit just as much. I see F-15s, Su-27s, J-10s, Typhoon. All within the next 6-9 months, but probably sooner rather later

Definetly. It needs to come to all 3 simutaneosuly, but whilst Britain is the weakest of the 3 nations currently. All 3 would greatly benefit from its addition.

I think currently Italy no helicopter 10.7-11.3 after A129 CBT, premium-pack battleship rank 5, SAM toptier and attack aircraft 8.7-11.0 fill gap between F-84F Thunderstreak & Tornado IDS (1995) since rank 6 to rank 8

And I might hope dev consider add infrared homing short-range Air-to-Air Missile with IRCCM on F-16A Block 15 ADF, add AGM-65E, GBU-32(V)2/B & GBU-38(V)2/B JDAM and AGM-65D replace by AGM-65F on AV-8B Plus (Italy) next month or december

@Morvran Are you good at percentages m8 ?

S=Sweden
F=Finland
N=Norway
A=Austrian

Amx is the solution, there are 3 variant (basic model, Acol, and the Brasilian variant) plus the prototypes. Weapons will define the BR, 10 should be the best solition.
But Devs seems to complete ignore this need and there is no explanation @Smin1080p. Could we have an official position on AMX for italy. is long overdue.

It’s embarrassing as Sweden got double the amount of jets here

Not really :D

Well then lmao.

I can’t believe Finland got double in rank two air though.

If in doubt. Google

Thats the most votes i think ive actually seen on a big report

Italy no new attack helicopter in researchable tree better A129CBT and not add new SAM better OTOMATIC for a long time

I might hope gajin consider new attack helicopter after A129 CBT, 2nd IR short-range AAM with IRCCM on F-16A Block 15 ADF (Aeronautica Militare) & up to 12.3 is at least, and consider another guided Air-to-Ground ordinance on AV-8B Plus (Marina Militare) such as AGM-65E, GBU-32(V)2/B & GBU-38(V)2/B JDAM and AGM-65F instead AGM-65D in next month
