i am just hoping he was not counting the event ship

That would be ridiculous. But we don’t know yet.
My hope is no but with gaijin who knows.
It is the kind of vehicle that would more often than not appear as an event vehicle not SQV.
SQVs tend to have a higher use case within a line-up, but events can be purely to test something (like Su-25BM with R-73s or even Jaguar IS with Magic II) and won’t necessarily be good otherwise.
Also event vehicles can reach more people generally and if it is Gaijin test-bed for stealth, then that would also make sense.
I don’t know what I’m fearing more.
That it’s going to be delayed till next year or that our new rank VI would be rendered obsolete upon arrival by other new additions, maybe even Rank VII like Bismark

That’s not what the leak indicates though, and so far it’s been on the money. And while yes, Gaijin typically uses events for testing features, they only give a couple weeks of experimentation at most. They can’t exactly iterate on it like they can in the live game.
I don’t disagree it’s such a niche thing that it shouldn’t really take up a slot and a tech tree without being in a folder so that It can be bypassed
Didn’t you say before that Japan should have SK sub TT and that gameplay should be a priority than politics in video games?
Now that it’s your business, you’re saying something different.
It’s really funny : )

A leak also said the event ship Britain was getting was HMS Warspite despite everything else on the list being correct. HMS Barham was never mentioned.
They are never 100%. Until it’s added. We won’t know. I’d bet on event personally. That is all

Yeah, Aussie hornets use asraams so it would actually be slightly unique

The ones from the Hornet Upgrade Programme, yea. Gets a better radar too, tldr pretty much everything is upgraded, but sadly not the engines iirc.

That would just make me laugh to be honest.
Ill be over here trying to rewrite history with HMS Hood vs Bismarck.
Does anyone have a copy of the Project Moonflower documents?
That would shine new light on just how far the British F-117 saga got as opposed to the well know story that essentially stops at pilot evaluations in the US.
British crews regularly get posted to the US, and have been known to see action. Is this a slippery slope that leads to any US vehicle to theoretically be available for the British tree (and any other nation swaps)? The community reaction would be fun to behold!
Regardless, nothing is ever confirmed until its Confirmed.
Yeah… True…
Though 3-4 Bismarks vs 1 Hood, that might be a different story
My shift is over so guys teaser today?
The unique argument to the Aussie Hornets, unfortunately gives the US a claim to them.
I’d rather the CF-188 be the legacy the UK gets because it the only Hornet Canada can supply unlikely Australia who also has Super Hornets. And besides CF-188 look a lot better the (roundel)F/A-18.

but those are superior in offensive use
has there been a second blog?
The USN still retained the capability on a handful of EMD airframes to provide technical support, but it in no way was standard (outside the baseline performance provided to an emergency mount due to retaining backwards compatibility with the various Sidewinder mounting rails), but is possible. On top of the fact that both the AIM-132 & AIM-2000 are “Type Classified”.
Also Later RAAF Hornets swap to using later blocks of the AIM-9X, so its only really the mid-life configurations that would be slightly different in an A2A role, and I’m not expecting to be able to ever really have access to the entire lineup of A2G ordnance available to USN / USMC hornets.
