Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 4)

SEP, AIM and SEPv2 should have improved hull armor, indeed.

In AIM and SEP’s case, by 35%; and, in SEPv2’s case, AT LEAST by 35% too.

SEP and SEPv2 are also missing turret armor upgrades compared to the baseline 1992 M1A2, too.

Also; even the M1A2 value every A2+ tank has isn’t even the real M1A2 value, but rather the one found on the downgraded Swedish trials export variant.

So yeah… it’s funny to think not even M1A2 SEPv2 has the turret armor M1A2 actually had.

For me I just don’t get why Sweden could be getting a double dose of two BR 2 aircraft.

As not only the VL Humu isn’t needed but it doesn’t add anything really new.
It will be a slightly better Buffalo but we already got two tech tree aircraft that does the same job.

But because it’s also a premium event vehicle again Sweden isn’t lacking in premiums.
For that tier as the MM and Fokker can do the job nicely as they are.

As for VL Myrsky it’s a good fighter bomber too along with the B-18A.

I wouldn’t mind if the VL Humu was given out for a special Finnish holiday.
But for anything else like a TT or as a premium it’s just a dud option.
It’s only meant for the serious collectors.

And now check Ariete with WAR armor installed on the dev-server ;)

I am curious about something in regards to the F-15s: Will the F-15J and possibly American F-15A have the turkey feathers on the engines removed, or will they keep them for the sake of simplicity?
(Israeli Eagles definitely kept them for a bit)

A-4M will be the aircraft of the next winter event and Vilkas will be the main tank.

Wait, is the one on the left supposed to French?
I find it to be considerably… Generic.

Ah, alr.
In that case, I’m cool with them being kept

You guys that are afraid of watching Girls und Panzer are weak. Do it, and learn the first two stanzas of Katyusha from it like I did!

If anti-radiation missiles are added, then why not implement OTO’s DART rounds.

Real man right here.

I know asking, “What’s Italy getting?” is beating a dead horse at this point. F-16A ADF is going to struggle, and top tier Italy is going to struggle after having looked at the T-90M’s armor value. I saw Smin’s comment to keep expectations low, and my expectations are RN Leonardo DA Vinci only. But the comment saying Italy got 3 top tier jets this year feels a little tone deaf to what is being added, as those planes will become exceedingly more difficult to play. I said on RR part 3 that I feel Hungary subtree should go to Germany given their military relations and development.

A suggest I am thinking of putting together would be to give Brazil as a subtree to Italy. The two nations since WWII have worked together, and many defense companies in Brazil were founded by Italian immigrants. Brazil had a very wide variety of aircraft, from US bombers to Mirage 2000 and Gripen GN (Both F and E variants). Vehicle wise, they had a good amount, from wheeled vehicles to MBTs. This would be a better alternative as it would provide Italy with more MBTs as opposed to ton of IFVs. Brazil also had numerous helicopters.

Additionally, German mains whined that Italy got the KF41. They also were the ones (so I’m told) who begged for AHEAD. I’m all for giving it to them.

Let me know if y’all have interest in seeing such a suggestion made as I will be making it at some point (after my finals).

no offense when I said this the uk had to suffer with a tornado F3 for the longest time same with the FGR2 the italians can go a bit with the F16 ADF

In my experience, and it could be that I suck with the F-16A ADF, but in air RB, I might get 1 kill before dying. In ground RB, it is the best AA Italy has currently.

The 3D animation in it (all of it is CGI, not just the 3D parts) is far from bad.

It’s an anime joke. Ha ha funny bad CG. Called bad because while for its time it was good, you could still tell it was CG compared to some current shows where it is harder to tell.

Let’s be honest, at least it isn’t Beserk 2016.

Im currently playing the Mirage 4K on the dev server and the radar has these blue lines appearing (seems bugged right now). Anyone know what these are or could be for?

Apparently people thinks the Gripen has more thrust then it should
