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

Sure can, but I have a feeling they don’t feel like doing it.

I’m not concerned about the firepower, I am concerned about the fact that they put a needlessly tall remote MG turret on a vehicle that you ideally would want to be as small as possible

Can you confirm or deny that Russia is getting the R-77-1 missile this patch? @Smin1080p_WT

So there needs to be no reason to add EFT, Rafale, Su-30 and J-20 to US other than ppl wanting it?

As i said we live in an era where because a vehicle is smaller means almost nothing for today reco tech.

Kinda looks like a giant balloon animal

There’s no reason the Saudi EF couldn’t be considered, same with most of those vehicles, just not the J-20 as there isn’t another user for it

that was earlier concept for 1 recce vehicle to be small,
nowadays you have a light recce vehicle (based on SUV-like platforms), and larger one with myriad of sensor suites/jammers + defensive armaments

I just don’t see what the actual benefit is. If i wanted RAF and British made jets, I’d play Britain. If I wanted MiG and Sukhois and Soviet/Russian air force stuff, I’d play USSR.

But a Saudi EFT to US or some Su-30 doesn’t fit or make sense at all, same with super hornet in UK tree.

We haven’t said anywhere there will or won’t be new missiles of any kind this major. However until we make an announcement, there is nothing particularly to comment on. Stay tuned.

Don’t look at humvee 30mm + javelin turret then lol

Well the Super Hornet in the British tree is more about people who want to play RAAF vehicles.

Besides, my original point is that we got the F-111C because we considered buying some F-111s, we did the same with the Super Hornet in 2010, so by the same logic we could get the RAAF one.

Also the UK already has US naval jets in the F-4, so the Super Hornet does “fit”

Also just saying but even the commander remote MG turret is fitted with last gen reco stuff, so higher position give better view of the battlefield and stuff to report to other units.
It’s not just an MG.

I just want the saudi eft to spite @Deathmisser, honestly.

So France got the DF105 and Germany got the French car.

@Smin1080p_WT And this isn’t so called special treat meant for Germany ?

We’ve been asking for a model of the Fokker D.21 since June last year and yet nothing, just goes to show how scared gaijin is by the German mains.

But you guys did buy the 111K, the program just fell apart no? While it never even started for the super hornets
