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

What about the barak 2020?

Are you sure the block 30 barack couldnt use python 4 and 5?

An/apg 65 minus the iff, same radar as the f18a/b. Not directing this add you specifically but just adding to the earlier f4f ice discussion. If they do give the f4f ice iris-t, it would be closer how they’ve implemented r73 on su25. F4f ice has no hmd and iris-t doesn’t have the full integration on f4f ice so it can’t do the loal stuff either. It would still be completely op though. Most of the fancy stuff we associate with iris-t was first integrated on gripen c and tranche 2 eurofighter. I’m not even sold that f4f ice should even get iris-t because they were used for a few months before being phased out, but mostly for testing the missile.

I’ll have more complete thoughts up later, but for now keep in mind:

Yeah, no way IRIS-T even in a limited capacity on what is still an A2A jet. Best guess Aim-9L/I or Aim-9M placeholders till Aim-9L/I

They said that about the Turkish drone and the ISIS Toyota

I can understand them not wanting to add infantry CAS targets to the game. But its a shame we dont have Technical targets like pick-up trucks for CAS in SB. I really want some new PvE targets and 1 I thought would be quite fun is to hunt down a jeep/pickup truck with the only information given on its location is current grid square. Would give T-pod aircraft real value and would be quite a challenging objective

I don’t know about this, you try David Bowie in PM

If it’s F-16C Block 30 Barak late 80’s, no integrated Python 4 & Python 5

F-15I Ra’am (2005) & F-16I Sufa can deploy infrared guided Air-to-Air Missile Python 4 & Python 5

Since they are giving the option for night battles soon I wouldn’t mind one for Naval map so planes like these can have a chance

That could be interesting, But I am looking forward to night maps. having NVDs on a jet, but nothing darker than early morning light always felt like a waste. Going to be interesting in SB.

But yeah, larger aircraft wont last long in day maps

The Vanguard is just the Vanguard which was used in the Silent Thunder even the launch animations are completly the same.

I already know this m8 but it’s interesting how they are showcasing anti sub and sub warfare.
When we don’t have them in game yet.

I think you are looking into it too much. There wasn´t anything new when it comes to submarines. It was just cool cinematic nothing more.

I wouldn´t draw any conclusions from this.

Would be a cool PvE objective on naval maps for the air modes. Hunt the Sub. (obviously wouldnt be submerged yet, unless they added appropriate weapons) but a hard to spot naval target could be kinda fun. Kill it before it submerges and “gets away”

something akin to the ARA Santa Fe during the Falklands war. Where it was badly damaged by helis before it could dive when leaving the harbour

Yep but we all know what Gaijins stance on secondary PVE objectives is. NF is waiting for them for about 3 years.

Thats not a MiG-21-93 in the trailer as it doesn’t have the single piece front screen on the canopy, nor does it have the extra countermeasure bulges on the side. It’s just a J-7D with some R-27s put on for the cinematic. A lot of people are reading way too far into this video and thinking it’s something it’s probably not.

It could be a hint at some stuff coming in the future but i highly doubt it…

That is the one good think I like about Gaijin HQ is that they never bow down to anyone unlike most western games today.

I think you are forgetting the absolute disaster that was the chinese tech tree launch in that regard.

M8 that was because the Tencent server was going to be shut down at the time.
