Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

idk, Iowa class and CVN’s carried

not to mention the USS Nautilus

US naval aviation just beats everything else

I mean the US navy was better, don’t get me wrong, although the Iowa was just weird imo

and as far as submarines go, the Typhoon is just cool, it’s massive and iconic thanks to The Hunt for Red October, and Soviet cruise missile submarines are great. Theres also the Alfa class which has a special type of nuclear reactor (liquid metal cooled) that basically wouldn’t need refueling for the service life of the boat, and was I think the fasted ever attack submarine at 41+ knots

But yeah, US naval aviation is hard to beat, honestly only the Chinese have come close with the J-15, but they’re still a long ways off

how many aliens have British, Russian, or anyone else battleships curbstomped?

true about the russian subs, they had some really cool ones

Blabla USA have cooler ship in cold war, blabla Russia have cooler ship in cold war…

Love how theses 2 always never talk about cool stuff from other nations. Sad we just don’t made that much cool propaganda movie for ourself in Europe.

Le Redoutable (S611) French SSBN from 1967:


Cool stuff, isn’t it ?

nautilus and typhoon better

Funny name for an American ship, since it’s a French story :p

doesnt make the reactor (which was the first ever on a submarine btw) any less American though

Well i was just talking about the name.

And the first autonomious (not relying on human power) submarine was French

Eh, Britain and France haven’t done much of anything cool navy wise recently, Frances best sub was of course

This beast

It is unfortunate though that there isn’t too much to be exited for, though I am looking forward to seeing the new Dreadnought class SSBNs we’re building, but that’s about 10 years off still

Recently?

You know about the 4 SSBN in the French navy?

Each of them individually displace more than the entire German uboot fleet.

Pretty sure that one wasn’t false because it was wrong info, but because Gaijin saw the backlash and decided not to do that.

The rest of that leak, as well as other leaks from the source seemed to be very accurate. From what I remember only J-10B and J-10B were missing from last update, and they might as well be there this time.

Spoiler

Would be nice to see those added now, they could hype those up in the teaser together with F-2A instead of yet another “US/USSR and maybe a few seconds of one other nation” teaser. J-10B and F-2A could be a nice dynamic akin to F-15/Su-27.

I love your knowledge and all but bro let them have a moment. Ik you love american and russian tech and I love it too but it’s a little much saying everything american or russian is better.

All this is said as a friend and fell F-15 enthusiast. :)

Yes and ?

They seems not in service anymore? (2023 in wiki)

And that’s don’t make my talk false, that you always brag about thoses 2 nations, but the others even if things are not that big, can still do the MAD :)
