germany only got the mig 29 and the m109 on the list right? so hey maybe germany still gets sth
from what i heard of those discussion Bs but C is by far a stretch it seems with needing to be definined by Uk stocks
The only source that I have found so far only specified Bs
Was just being discussed on the typhoon thread. A/Bs definetly, possibly C5, the question is, did Britain purchase them before the Sea Harrier FA2 was retired (same year). But i imagine they are compatible
The Blue Vixen radar set would be the most powerful air to air radar in the entire game, mounted on, admittedly a pretty lacklustre platform, but the missiles (AIM-120A/B + AIM-9Ms and Ls) would be pretty good.
I could see it being a big eater especially if you use AMRAAM like a SARH until it goes pitbull in TWS
Its by how much though…
F-16 with Aim-7M vs Sea Harrier FA2 with AIm-120B might not be too bad
F-16 with Aim-120B vs Sea Harrier FA2 with Aim-120C5 might not be too bad.
will see then i could be wrong but knowing this props not
Oh, no doubt the rails are completely compatible - it’s just a matter of if their missiles were mounted.
I’m thinking the game wont go into AIM-120C territory until we see far more Gen 4+ platforms and ALOT of decompression to 15.0
C would be a 30nmi missile. A is more like an AIM-7M but active. I could see AMRAAM coming to Western Nations only if it’s just A and B as they’d just be the counterpart to the R-27ER/ET
R-77 would be immediately AMRAAM C territory
Yeah, Sea Harrier FA2 has some tricks up its sleave. Like one of the best radars of the era. But it certainly wouldnt be a truly competitive platform, Britains next platform for that will be Typhoonm Hopefully Q2 next year
Can’t see them adding AIM-120s, but no R-77s, that wouldn’t go with their plan to add BVRAAMs to all nations at the same time

Guys, please remember this is the next major rumour round-up.
Not theory crafting and wish listing about what comes after.
Please take discussions of irrelevant vehicles for this update to the correct topics: Machinery of War Discussion - War Thunder — official forum
We don’t need a mass of off topic spam again.

The question is weapons like PL-12 are apprently fairly comparible to Aim-120Cs.
So I can see a range of Aim-120 being added.
Tornado F3 CSP would be Aim-120C5 (and historically speaking would include ASRAAM) hopefully we’ll get a later tornado F3 than that with some extra kit.

No worries, was just speculating about the next next update lmao
Its fine to speculate, but there are topics open on basically most aircraft and missiles being discussed where it can take place. Its not the place here.

So speaking of staying on topic
Through out both stream they stressed quiet a lot about more stuff will be shown.
out of 100% how much of the planned stuff have we seen so far ?
90% I’d say, the remaining 10% being Halloween/Anniversary stuff
Im not going to give percentages. Most things have been seen now. However there is always the chance for a few extras to pop in.

Whilst you are here
Anyword on:
SRAAM Overhauls (reported to have started work on months ago)
Red Top Overhauls (rumoured to be planned)
MAWS for Gr7 (rumoured to have been coming last update, but hit an issue)
Tornado Gr1 (and other IDS) actually being finished (Radar overhaul was rumoured months ago)
I’m quiet surprised as there at least one or two money makers per update.
But non this one
