all I wanted to know is what the event vehicle is

So no Sd.Kfz.165/1 anymore?

F-117 as squadron vehicle? Odd choice considering that squadron vehicles are supposed to be useful

What discord is this on

There is no such vehicle in this leak, you must have seen another one

Yeah, i heared it from “The Europeancanadian” (Yeah i dont like him either but still)
And from somewhere else someone wrote it on a Discord channel.

Since when was that rumored or confirmed?

Gaijin’s stance is that Squadron vehicles offer unique gameplay, not necessarily be useful. Many of them end up being useful, sure, but there are plenty that aren’t great either.

Pretty sure the first one comes from the dataminers Discord, but I’m not on it so I couldn’t tell you. Second is from Yukari33. Both of these leakers are consistently reliable, not always 100% but they get a lot right.

European Canadian is not a great source because he covers EVERY leak list no matter how obviously fake. Best thing about him is he posts sources so you can fact check things for yourself.

I dont know, thats why i am asking.

The F-16AJ proposal and discussions (resulting attempts to sell the F-16) is what lead to further negotiations resulting in FS-X later. So they are indeed connected in that way.

To be clear I was not saying the F-16AJ was directly evolved into F-2. I was referring to the AJ proposal and subsequent development of that relationship. The two are very much linked in that respect.

I don’t mind TEC but he and other content creators will literally cover any news they can because it gets views.

I once made a fake leak list just with the goal of getting it featured on his channel and it worked.

Engineers make the thing, marketing designs the graphics. I assure you from personal experience marketing can get things very wrong, sometimes intentionally, to sell something.

For example Boeing has used the word “reliable” and Lockheed has used the word “low cost” in their marketing before.

But like I said it’s off topic and I’m just speaking from a technical perspective

I guess its just my Hopium, i just really want another 10,5 cm LeFH 18 L/28, other than the StuH 42. ;-;

no need to wait

Translation please?

no Trailer

I just got there but let me get this straight. Are you guys actually going crazy over some DOA subsonic bomber with 2 guided bombs and no defensive measures; fatter 2 seater F-15C with laser guided bombs and 6 AGM-65D; and fatter 2 seater Flanker with couple already existing missiles and no thermal TGP?

And now theres even an argument being brought about F-16AJ for some reason? Bruh…

I just hope Israel gets its own F-15I in the same patch while maybe Germany gets some late IDS 3.1 with MAWS JDAM and other small changes.
