Depends on how many launcher vehicles the SLAMRAAM can spawn, the teaser showed two driving with the radar, in that case it will likely be more than enough ^^
The ELdE 98 though is still a bit of a mystery if that is going to come with the new multi vehicle mechanic or not. If it doesn’t then 4+4 missiles is going to be way to little compared to the other systems and the limited range.
I’m all for it, and it makes more sense for those more advanced AA systems. Imagine spawn a multi-vehicle AA system in ground battle map of Berlin or anything smaller, or spawning them and then no jet shows up…
…ok…
It may be lower tier , but i’d like to see an actual warmachine like ACH-47A , than a cancelled prototype.
It’s not about meta. Or even the AH-56 , which is a cancelled proto…but at least 10 units were made , not 2.
It’s just there are more non prototypes that the game is missing, and it’s not that it covers a gap or something.
That’s all.
Lets us quickly have a look at the Swiss F-18C (1997) and Upgrade21 armament and systems. Lot of people are asking themselves what the difference between the premium would (could) be.
When we bought the F-18C/D (early) we acquired them with the AIM-9P5 (IRCCM) and the AIM-120B as part of the Rüstungsprogram (RP92)
Swiss F/A-18 C/D (1997)
The aircraft was able to carry 2x AIM-9P5 and up to 4x LL Lwf AIM-120B.
There was no JHMCS, but an early HMD, which was having basic HUD information on one eye.
Swiss F/A-18 C/D (Upg21 - 2004 to 2009)
Aside from modification to avionics ECM and others the weapons were added
JHMCS was added with new helmets
Hardpoints were modified
Aircraft was now able to carry up to 6x AIM-9X and up to 10x LL Lwf AIM-120B
Swiss F/A-18 C/D (Upg25)
AIM-120B were partially replaced by AIM-120C7 (Documented as part of RP11 on admin.ch)
Superhornet cockpits and avionics were introduced
New GPS A/G capabilities were introduced. Switzerland has no ammunition however.
AN/APG-73 was replacing the older radar
I assume, that my best guess, GJ will give us the 1997 model as premium and the Upg21 as regular tree. The Upg25 will not see light in this update.
I think that we won’t see another premium with AMRAAMs(at least for now I hope), and maybe gaijin will make up a loadout for the 1997 version with AIM-7Ms probably
Buddy devs don’t care about a single person’s opinion, they probably won’t even read this, if you’re trying to send a message this isn’t the way
Replies are mostly for us to discuss, not really to tell devs what we think
