It did, though not overly the most valuable addition for it. Carrying any A2G loadout on it is quite a cost, so in ASB it wasnt worth it and in GRB, probably better off using the AGM-65s. The GBU-39s its getting this update though have greater pylon value.
But things like the ePaveways from the Harrier Gr7 were definetly missing last update. and fingers crossed Gunjob got the bug report in in-time for them to be added before the update drops. Far greater value on that
Its now a British aircraft. Gotta wait the required 6 months before they can start looking at bug reports.
But yeah, i’ve not bothered grinding it yet. I dont really see the point, just a straight downgrade over the Tornado Gr1 for the most part. Was messing around on the dev server with it and I see the value for it in the future, but not with so many bug reports pending
I always think of Sep as part 1 and Oct as part 2 anyway.
Also compared to last year… US could do with not getting something EVERY update for a change.
Like this update last year, US was 1 of 3 nations to get any aircraft. All UK got was the M109 C&P, Vickers Mk11 and the Iron Duke Premium.
They’ve done a far better job this year making it balanced
Also, we only got OSA because it was an easy C&P and we werent meant to get it at all. GR4 and Repulse are remodels of existing vehicles as well. (I also want to point that US still has 5 Rank VI ships vs Britains now 3)
but would there be any meaningful difference betwene them? there are still all the pre iowa 16in US battleships to add, each can get like 2 versions from refits, and the 3 iowa class, and then if gaijin blesses us with carriers, the US will be king in that aspect
no swedish submarine bc that thing had to be carried in the back of another ship to the excerciese
Well. You have the WW1 refits like Barham but @Tictaculer would probably be better for each of the different variants than me, but yes, varying degrees of armour and AA upgrades.
Then you also have Rodney and Nelson for 16" ships and the HMS Vanguard which would reasonably match Iowa as well.
If it sticks to mostly WW2 / just after WW2, then actually. Not really. Royal Navy Carriers were often better during WW2, featuring things like armoured flight decks. Its why UK ships were rarely damaged by Kamikaze attacks when the Pacific fleet arrived.
Its not until more like the 1950s that US carriers completely overtake UK ones.
well the main examples of “big” refits that did not change the role of the ship would be valiant as it changed the superstructure and all of the secondarys along with the usual engine changes
