which one lol? I assume you mean KE-W
I dont think i’ve ever had the APS intercept a dart (at least that i’ve noticed), though i’ve also not played much of it. I’ve tended to prefer the 11.3 (now 11.7) CR2s for those occasional downtiers. (which were quite common for a brief while.)
yea
min distance to defeat KE-W is 475.5m, for that DM53 it would be 501m.
I’m not entirely sure how the APS and darts interact though, and I’m not good enough at reading the datamine to find out
from experience minimum range doesnt actually destroy the dart it just degrades the pen, ive had DM53 still kill me after watching the APS intercept it
Especially since there have been indications that even Thailand is getting pulled, which destroys any chance of them getting a Sub TT in the first place.
Honestly, I do hope, against my better judgment, that we can convince Gaijin to change their plans for this or at least split up the Sub TT between Japan and China if they really want stuff for China.

Yeah, its epic, and to think. Its only 6 Brimstones. It could ripple of 6-12 more than that.
Imagine 2 or more Tornados, flying in formation, doing that to a convoy
why do you insist on making grind out the British tree… lol
Spoiler
Imagine Typhoons or Harrier Gr7/9s doing the same as the Tornado :P

I hope tomorrow’s trailer shows us more than F-18!
I mean, thematic teasers are nice, but given the dev blog drought this season and the lacking (in many ways) content on the previous updates (specially for Ground Top Tier), I really would like to see some news in those fields.

see while I would agree its more a pipe dream because even tho the Su25SM3 got to sit uncontested for several months I bet this thing will be prenerfed like the 3TD was with its reload
top tier ground is going to stay lacking in regards to air and that’s fine. Because Air just has far more shit to add. it’s how it is
daily reminder the SM3 sat uncontested for around the same time the GR7 sat completely uncontested as the best strike plane at top tier-
Germany alone has at least 20 Leopard 2s that haven’t been added yet. Gaijin just doesn’t care because air gets more hype.
yeah how different are those 20 leopard 2s from each other though.
condense that number down to meaningfully unique variants
Yea like F-2… (at this point if you lot don’t ping me to death when that thing gets a devblog, I’ll be disappointed lol)
But really I don’t think China needs a sub-tree however as a top tier Japan main I don’t really have a problem with it. Businesses gonna business.
For the most part I think Japan is set aside from certain mid-high tier gaps, but I imagine people just want more bang for their buck moreso than filling gaps. Grinding one tree and then having access to every modern aircraft from Gripens to Sukhois sounds like great value.

Some more than others but there are still some real bangers like the 2A8, A-RC, Leo 2 NPzK and the NGP. I wouldn’t say the F-15 is more different from an F-16 than the 2A6EX Demo 2 is from a 2A5.
While the su25 does have impressive range for one of its air to ground missile it has to used with a laser. So it does limit the usefulness when you cant really break line of site if someone were to shoot a aim-120 or aim9m at you.
the Tornado Gr1 has access to the PGM 2000 that has a range of 31 miles and is TV guided. I would prefer fire and forget for survivability unless there was air domination and not needing to worry about being shot out of the sky with a slow subsonic plane.
