There is a version of S-8, called S-8CM – with a target-indicating (smoke-forming) warhead

What about Dunkerque. Both of these ships IRL had poor reloads?

In-game 30s

Verba missiles in-bound for the new Mi-8, will we be getting them on some of the other carriers, such as Mi-28NM and Ka-52?

I have never heard of Verba before. How does it compare to what we already have?

So the AV-8S could very well be a premium? huh guess it’s not too suprising, but that takes away more and more vehicles from a potential sub tree line

seen that it is an “early” version we could still see it on the tt

If you’re playing ground, get the KVT since CAS isn’t something you can play every game

good point, I missed the early part on it’s stat card.

I guess the late version will be tt then with likely AIM-9L that showed up on the early in the files a few days ago.

Probably p4 as i dont think that thailand used aim 9L

Somewhat off-topic, but I just unlocked Namer 30 and this IFV is unironically the best SPAA in the Israel tree. Atleast spikes can actually lock and hit helicopters lmao.

What a sad state of affairs indeed.

They did use AIM-9P variants, but also AIM-9L

I just hope the missiles for the early one are changed to AIM-9P since Thailand never had AIM-9G

Ok. Thanks for the advice

I would be nice if they also give it the dual aim 9 pylon.

Should have about 1.2km greater operational range, can hit targets going over Mach 1 (within the right range), and an additional channel of IR seeking, so it should be even harder to defeat with IRCCM.

I really wanna know what’s up with the airfields


Like yeah just better airfields but at least in the trailer they might be introducing aircraft parking spawns like in some of the DCS servers which would be super awesome and cool (for sim)

They would have to model nose gear steering which it doesn’t at least seem like they do, rn it seems to be rudder based which explains why you turn so badly on the ground at low speed.

I mean yeah but you can still “taxi” well enough with copious use of the brake so… a possibility??
