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

Sim should never be strictly PvE. It should be PvPvE.
I target the people asking for PvE in sim battles >:)
But I also escort bombers so i’m not a terrible person.

The F-16C is probably the best option generally, but the EA-18G might top it thanks to its EW suite

I don’t think the F-15E even gets HARMs

Never said it should be, but the current state of the E element within PvPvE is extremely stale and outdated.

Howdy y’all, we thinking the Flanker H is going to be after the SM or the 34?

No i completely agree, like i’ve said 7 times today we need a sim rework. The main things needed are

WAY bigger maps (5-10x the current size)
AWACS and aerial refueling
More convoys and theater defense systems
Events like intercepting a scud missile attack on a airfield.

…SU-25

This is a sentence

naaahhh don’t do that to me, i don’t want that line :'c

Would be kinda funny though.

What else do Russia have that could follow the SU-25

The Yak-130?

Nominally the F-35 w/ SiAW(Unknown designation, but is derived from the AGM-88G).

But in service it’s probably the F-16 with Late revisions of the Harm Targeting System( AN/ASQ-213), mounted equipt the F-16 can generate GPS co-ordinates for an emitter so the ordnance selection is less constrained.

Should I grind the SU-27 and better flankers in the future (i’ll also get a premium tank later)with my Mig23 or buy the mirage and try to grind out france and maybe get a french tank?

Asking this becuase people are talking about new flanker variants.

Ah yes the F/A-18E with an AESA Radar while Gaijin keeps neglecting the CAPTOR-M…

nothing ))))

They could always add the F-18E as an Early with the APG-73 although it would be odd only very early 18Es had it.

Then it’s perfect, all the 2 seat flankers can go there now :)))))

nOOOOOOOOOO!!! this would be terrible fortune

I REALLY hope they are coming for different branches, hahah.

That way, whoever wants F/A-18C for whatever reason has access to it- while those of us who would rather go straight to F/A-18E would be able to get it without extra grind.

Normally, I would be interested in F/A-18C too; but given the current compression, they will either be the same BR or 0.3 BRs apart (virtually no difference) while F/A-18E will be much better (better radar, more missiles)… so I find F/A-18C redundant at the present time.

Maybe my interest in F/A-18C will grow when there’s enough decompression to not make it face end-of-the-line vehicles!

Yeah, it would be crazy of them to lock the F/A-18E behind the F/A-18C in the same update

Yeah the f/a-18c was more strike. The F/A-18E was made to replace it the A-6 and the F-14

Honestly the premium one has me the most interested, which is nice because I need to start grinding the US tree again, I’ve only got 2 lines complete really, the first and third

Need I remind you of the f16a mlu, the number of countermeasures in real life has little bearing on how many it gets in game. They’ll model it as 30 large 30 small when it’s supposed to be 120 small and then give it 60 small total.
