Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

but eh soon™ we’ll know for sure

Fair enough, I dont know enough about US weapons to recognise them. But also doesnt necessarily mean much, Could have a wide range of weapon types

yes, especially the later variants essentially carried the whole USAF Weapons catalogue

Yep, I can see this coming with everything…

Just had a thought, to add to the list of Potential F-111 features that we might get via Osmosis onto the Tornado

  • ECM
  • CM count
  • Ground radar

But maybe this will be the update we see Cluster bombs. Those would be a major upgrade for several CAS jets and might help balance these at a higher BR without guided munitions

if we get a late F-111 that is

the weapons showed were all avalible starting from the 1964 A Pattern which wouldn’t have those nice features

although clusters we could see yes

Hmmm… That is true. But heres hoping. Datamined symbols for ECM and ground radar have been found so something might be in the works

It’s an A model going by tail number. I can’t recall a time where gaijin added a plane with an incorrect tail number unless it was a secondary skin

If that is the case then that means the AJ-37’s may get a massive buff

yes but that doesn’t mean it’ll be finished in time

hopefully

A LOT would, Jaguars come to mind for me as being notable upgrades over what htey have currently, especially the Gr1 (not A)

Or even come to the Tornado even if the F-111 had this.

IDS Tornados could become a Menace in ground RB

yea sadly

Ooh yes. and so long as CCIP was usable in cockpit with them. you could actually do some damage to ground targets in SB with a degree of ease.

oh oh think about tank columbs in RB/SB

Killfeed would be spammed

Somewhat what I was thinking. The ability to actually attack ground targets with unguided weapons. Now that would be a big buff. Even in GRB, the ability to saturate a target area

I wonder what would happen if you dump a Sub munitions carrier above another aircraft

Hehe, it would probably take it out, But im guessing as a way to limit the spread and thus balance, they’ll only release at like 500ft or something. So would be a hard shot and likely something akin to using a regular bomb if its in the blast area
