Then we should be in a Typhoon DA2 not the FA2.

Falcon Friday.
Sukhoi Sunday.
Mirage Monday.

I’ll accept no less.

We had Tornado Tuesday.

Not for you to decide sadly and the EFT is more comparable to later F15s

Well, if we are still tornados and Sea harriers vs ARH slinging F15s. Then the game is dead anyway

Germany would have the Boxer IFV active defense version. It is true that the KF-41 is German, but it was a Hungarian order, and without a request, it would not have been created. It was a KF-31 in 2016-18, which can carry a maximum of 3 glasses and 6 people, just like the Puma IFV. And the Hungarian National Guard should have had 8 personnel. In response, Rheinmetall created the KF-41. And you can put the StrikeShield protection system on it, as we requested, in a separate contract. And next to it, again in a separate contract, Israeli Spike LR ATGM. The Germans only carried the basic KF-41 atgm and without an active defense shield on various deployments. And in addition, we also bought the rights necessary for further development.
Thus, the basic KF-41 would not be superior to the Puma.

I think you should be saying the answer is possibly, not very unlikely. Despite her size Shinano was only supposed to carry 47 aircraft operationally. This compared to 64/65 on the Unryu class and 84 on Taiho. I think we’re more likely to see Shinano as a battleship, possibly as an event or premium eventually rather than a carrier. But I’m perfectly happy to be wrong on this.
Doubly so since unless Gaijin commits to an enormous rework of the game mode (fingers crossed they do) carriers aren’t going to be any good. And unlike subs I actually want to see carriers, so don’t think I’m just being negative because I like to be negative.

Notching in this case means sacrificing positioning and energy, meanwhile the phoenix slinger just gains positioning and energy. In the best case scenario it’s just a non-negatable advantage to one side. Which would be fine if there was some kind of meaningful tradeoff, but F-14’s are already undertiered and their only weaknesses are the pilots.

Maybe on early missiles (Shrike, etc.) on more modern missiles like ALARM / HARM you can programme the seeker with a list of specific radars and it will search for those radars and lock onto them in priority order.

Well of course they would say that, it’s never in their interest to admit that a leaker has good info. And even if the leak is only 60-70% correct…that’s still amazing for a leak considering most are just bait.

Here’s my argument, it’s so statistically unlikely to guess that many specific vehicles correctly, that the most reasonable explanation is that someone is giving them good info. The fact that some things are missing or end up not coming is most likely a byproduct of the uncertainty of game development rather than evidence that the list is fake.

We had a good idea that top tier tank premiums were coming, but to get the specific version correct? And same with the Tornado as well. It should be proof enough that atleast some of the vehicles named on that list come from an actual leak

Wait, they are?! That’s exciting

I agree.

Unless we get a Gripen of CF18 with them then we will be fine

I hope they dont use the fact we have one of those as an excuse not to add anything else to Britain for the next few years. Just because we “might” have something like a Gripen. Doesnt mean Britain shouldnt get the Typhoon. Though thankfully. Germany has nothing to tie it over. So whenever Germany get the Typhoon, and it would need it to fight F-15Cs with AMRAAM. Then so should we. So unless they add Typhoon to only one nation. They cant sit on teh Typhoon for years like they normally do with British stuff

I know I mostly dropped this, and I don’t want another fierce argument about most of the other stuff.

But this part here is as much of an argument that helps the 2A7V as it is a counterargument. Because it really shows the “problem” of comparing it to the SEPv2.

Yeah the SEPv2 has 550mm KE on the LFP, but everyone has 580+mm pen anyway so the increase in armor is pretty much non existence unless you fight at 700-1k range or are bullying some poor stock tank.

And from what I remember 550mm vs KE was already an optimistic estimate, because it could also have been between 520-540mm vs KE from what I remember.

I saw 44M Tas several times on a leak list, (maybe Olega) I hope that there will be 2 versions, the 75mm M43 cannon and the Bofors 29 M 8 cm. This is basically an anti-aircraft gun, but the shoulder bag intended for the tank was completed and it was fired at Hajmáskér, which was also proven with documents.
