Only bought the Object 140, the only worth my time ngl, might have also bought the AV8S if it had a spanish camo as a pre order

Really surprised they didn’t do that considering the “early” thing. From what I’ve seen Thai AV-8S got AIM-9L from the start (though Thailand had AIM-9P in inventory too), so an earlier one without 9L would be Spanish.

But maybe they plan to add the Spanish AV-8S somewhere else, so they don’t want to have the camo in two different trees.

maybe? they might have also just wanted a 9.7 premium and not a 10.7 one?

yippee that should help and make the the PGMs a bit better and pretty much seals the deal on PGMs being the primary weapon of the Gr4

Provided PGMs can actually reach their targets now without having to be in space.

even then the fact they actually have a range of 20kms means they are far safer then the brimstones and with IR and IOG they have only gotten better

Can they actually reach that range now tho? Always had them fall short prior.

were you using the PGM500 or 2000?

Both tended to fall short without significant altitude in my experience.

from an altitude of 2km and a speed of mach 1 I can normally hit targets 18kmish away

Maybe mine are just broken, I’d tend to need ~5km for any reliability in longer range shots.

I’ll just be interested to see if the IR versions let me fire past about 10km

This too.

yeah, on the dev server I was able to get 20km shots in the Gr4 with just the FLIR so it should be fine on live

Sorry if folks have already covered this but from reading this kinda seems to me the Flanker flight model will get a nerf -_-


Hope I’m wrong?
