Still technically owe loyalty to the crown tho. Very skewiff.

When will we see accurate crew placement for British battleships?
And also, I am pretty sure the guns should be a lot more precise. The BL Mk.1 is hands down the most accurate 10inch+ guns during its era.

Really don’t get why the Americans got the Skink.

And now that the Skink got it’s elevation speed buffed (iirc) it felt pretty nice.

Looking forward to use both though. Hell I’m looking forward to this update in general. A lot of cool stuff I’m waiting for.

Romanian sub tree for Italy

Only really looking forward to su 34 and being able to use Gripen for actual air to ground.

Rest of the stuff seems half assed. Would look forward to Tornado but not sure it will be grand ._.

Oh and the Scimitar will be fun to upset people with.

Yeah thats nice for italy. I think japan is just never getting one. But it ihonestly nice to see them finally care about italy

What is changing about the Gripen? I thought it was already pretty decent at CAS? I’m a bit out of the loop, so I only saw that they added those shitty little GBU-39s that’ll only be good in air sim.

Anyway, I personally have quite a bit to look forward too. Obviously the new graphical upgrades and abandoned factory visual improvement.

In terms of vehicles that I can immediately start grinding I’m excited for the Sabra Mk.1, Skink, T77E1, F-15E, F-15I and OSA (no particular order).

But I’m also still excited for the 37Di (premium), Mirage 2000s, Object 140, AV-8S, Su-34 and hell even the Tornado Gr.4, even though I’m quite a long way from getting these vehicles.

The Gripen was middling at CAS.

You got only a couple of AGM 65s (2) if you wanted amraams, or 4 if you took only wingtip missiles. Most of those you had to save for Pantsirs. With the addition of GBU 39 to it (and hopefully the other ordnance that is missing alongside the centreline hardpoint but this isn’t guaranteed at all) you’ll have some stuff to spend on pantsirs with 2 AGMs to spend on things that move.

Alongside I just want to use it in Sim, and GBU 39s actually allow me to do ground attack stuff in Sim.

I think you will still need to spend those AGMs on the Pantsir lol, because with that 26kg of TNT equivalent the Pantsir will have to move like 50-100 meter to avoid those GBU-39s.

I would be willing to wager it’ll take them a bit to learn to move and you might be able to box them in if you drop 4 of em. They tend not to be the sharpest. Just want an option that might get through the annoying gits shooting it down.

Sounds like update tomorrow or next week

Well. Thinking about it. I suppose Smin did say that new rank 6 ships would be added. Not that they’d be 7.0, or even worth playing.

any words on the increased guidance time of the brimstones? as they currently are they can barely reach 15km when irl the brimstone 1 should be able to reach 20km

That’s a cool camo. almost looks like they painted it to make it look like it’s higher up/farther than it really is.

hey by the time you get it, it might even finally have its FnF brimstones (this is cope gaijin will never added them)

By the time to get to it, Tornadoes might have the thrust they are supposedly missing.

They will never add it.

true, even tho I can research it now Idk if I will, its the same with the Shar FA2 and F3 late there just doesnt feel like much of a reason to do so when they will be very mid
