Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Probably bumped to 10.7 or 11.0

Also why is it armed with an Italian truck?

they’re strike jets so it makes it easier to do their job, strike plus they can hunt radars

I dont think 11.0, but I could see 10.7.

Its a question of TV guided vs ARM, given that kinematically they arent any different from the AJ168s it already has iirc.

So does going from 3 to 4 but having only the ability to engage radar SAMs (at a BR with more than a few non-radar SAMs) warrant a BR change.

I genuinely dont know

I’m just saying given what we have at 10.7 I could see an argument for it to be higher

It’s already got what might be considered the stronger version of the weapon at 10.3. So I think the question is purely whether or not the ARMs are actually that big of an impact in terms of performance and balance.

Idk I’m gonna be honest I have my radar off below 12.0 anyways or I flick it on and off at times. ARMs won’t effect me

it doesnt, the SU39 with its loadout of ARMs and JF17 with a top tier ARM (cm102) hasnt gone up in br as of right now, so i doubt it’ll warrant a change, plus from what i know they only used AGM-88a’s and i dont remember if those have an IOG, the counter to PRH is turn off ur radar and move, so i doubt it deserves a br change

Exactly and one of the most common SAMs I find myself facing is the Strela anyway

Thats soviet bias for you though. Everyone else has to operate on different rules.

the american F/A18 early premium w its AGM-88a’s 4x hasnt gone up in br from what i know

its still 12.3 though, probably under BRed considering some at and around that BR.

I mean I’m not gonna act like I’m happy seeing people in strike aircraft while I’m stuck in the F-35 here lmao but HARMs won’t be that big of a problem for me but I guess we’ll just need to see

Yeah. But its an interesting question that hasnt actually been answered yet. I guess we’ll need to wait a few months to really get an actual answer

hello

iirc its 12.0 in ground

but its only other guided weapons is 2 AGM-62s so even with AGM-88 it will be fairly bad at CAS for its br

Yes that is kind of my point. Im not surprised thats its BR has not changed since getting AGM-88

Though it has 4x AGM-65F

oh, I was talking about the tech tree F18A not the premium one

It was the premium one I was responding to a comment about

the premium tornado and event dont even have guided A2G weapons so i dont see why they’d go up in br and the f18 premiums all have the same A2A and A2G loadout so they shouldn’t go up in br, ig its just gaijin being gaijin

The Tornado GR1 has been denied ANY ARM because it would increase its BR from 11.3 to 11.7, despite the fact we havent got a single 11.0 or 11.3 ground vehicle. The Tornado WTD61 not getting ARM because its 10.0 is even less surprising. Sure from an Air mode perspective it sucks, but alas, GRB takes prescedence, always has always will.
