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

I think currently USA tech tree still missing early attack aircraft toptier in rank 8

Thats why I’m hoping for av8b+ in u.s. tree soon. The f16c does fine tho.

maybe they’re just not ready yet

I’m worried that there is no sign of the RP Bonus from the roadmap. Should have been on the Dev Server if they are planning to have it with the update. Maybe they’ll push it back more and roll it out before the Winter Update…

or during thr winter update

It was already due with the last Update and just on the day after release they said it’s delayed. That’s not giving me any confidence

@Smin1080p Will the JH-7A get any atgm such as KD-88 or Kh29T which it uses in real life? Otherwise BR11.7 seems a bit too high currently

That would likely be an F-111F, or if Gaijin really wants to push things, then F-111D

I second this. By the time you get to the A model there’s no way you could excuse not giving it a guided missile.

Yeah I’m really surprised that there is no mention whatsoever about any of its A2G missles, and that’s really concerning since china could really used the boost too it’s CAS options, and there dosnt seem too be any good reason to hold back some of the more normal missles like the C-704 or even the KH-29T

This may be a case of patience mate. If you run an F-16 and a JH-7A you should have enough CAS options overall. They’re probably looking at it like this. There’s no way, long term, that they don’t add it, but you may have to wait. Just like the 9.12’s and 9.13’s will be waiting for an eventual R-73 etc.

No reason why I shouldn’t ask and put some pressure on them. I don’t wanna settle when the Americans, French, and Soviets have been running around with similar and often better cas options for a while now, and the first competent strike plane china gets is being held back with a very underwhelming loadout even tho it’s well known for it’s ability too bear some advanced air too ground missles. Especially when one of its options are KH-29’s which have been present in the game for a while now…

wasnt there a bomber version too?

FB-111A is the strategic bomber variant
There also was the proposed F-111G, which ended up being FB-111As slightly reconfigured and redesignated by the US as a tactical bomber variant used by both the US and Australia

I expect gaijin consider AV-8B Night Attack (NA) before AV-8B Plus because it very good attack aircraft toptier 11.7 BR.

and AV-8B+ from United States Marine Corps (USMC) have got something better AV-8B+ from Marina Militare but not sure currently could be equipped Litening G4 or AN/AAQ-28(V)4 Litening AT

Well, according to Smin you won’t be seeing a tech tree A6 anytime soon as gaijin apparently has no plans to add one

I just want the Marines’ airplane. I dont care if its better or worse.
