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

yea, I thought more about clearing a furbal but it eould probably be useless for that

Oh yeah, no way we’d have the ability to drop these and them to deploy at medium alt to just take out half the enemy team. But might be good for dealing with AF campers though

after all that was one of the main uses for Cluster bombs

the other one being Anti Infantry

Yep, also opens the door for things like MW-1 and JP233. I know Gunjob has his poking stick sharpened and ready to go for those when the day comes when we get cluster weapons

im more scared about the server performance if an Ardvark drops 27 cluster bombs with 1200 subminitions each

Ah… yeah… Well, that is one way to kill the entire team I suppose, make everyone in the lobby lag out so hard they crash

F4D-1, it 's default skin belongs to a second production batch example, but the aircraft is otherwise modelled as being one from the third batch.

… I miss @Kanyiko

what happened to them?

Looking forward to another reskinned Harrier.

Tells you a lot how GJN treat the UK when even their technical moderator acknowledges there is no chance of the UK getting things until other nations have it added already, in which case we can “hope” they also let us use the hand-me-down content.

another DOA right?

depends on BR

A CAS platform with AMRAAMs for carrier fleet defence as the first top tier fighter the UK gets in more than four years. When everyone else already has at least one manoeuvrable supersonic gen 3. It would certainly be true to form.

“Certain nations used aircraft for a long period of time, making it difficult to add content as there is less options”

Meanwhile Japan receives a fictional F-16 when their prospects for top tier aircraft over the next few years are far more positive than the UK’s. They could have given us a New Zealand F-16 if they actually cared about adding a competitive fighter to the UK lineup. You know, like how they gave Germany a British made Swiss multirole fighter “to fill in a gap”. They could even copy-paste the Gripen they are giving to Sweden and give that to the UK.

Reminder to reel in your expectations when it comes to the UK tree

Yeah… just look at hte current state of what we’ve got. The only thing in the British TT at high tier that i’d tentatively consider as finished is the Gr7, but I can name several things wrong with it fairly easily, including several missing features. But alas, thats the best we can hope for these days

FA2 with the right AAMs might be competitive for 5 minutes, but the moment we see 12.7s, it would be nearing DOA. No way it would truly survive long in ARB and would rarely win a WVR fight. SB it would be quite good, but would have to be played defensively

But i’d take a low performance 12.3 to fight 12.7s/13s over a low performance 11.3 vs 12.7s/13s so there is that

FA2s only truly redeeming quality, is its radar, it would be the best in game by far till we saw late 12.7s maybe 13s

Thats the premium one?
Could that mean something?

i mean it takes a major nation to get something to then retroactively add it to british stuff example the Gr7 MAWS and if the rumours are to be believed the EW stuff for aircraft. you know the 2 things the harrier gr7 were built around

Trust me - MAWS and EWAR will be added to the game long before we see them added retrospectively to the GR.7 or Tornado GR.1.

watch them add it to some US Jet and then wait 3 Majors and 15 Reports to get it on other aircraft

The fact we got Aim-9Ms on the Gr7 AND no BR increase were both extremely shocking to me
