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

Obviously. But (and this is from the perspective of someone who mostly drops GBUs from the AMX or Jaguar at that BR) I consider the 2S6 and OSA greater threats. But that probably does change if your main weapon is the AGM-65 and you are forced closer to the battlefield. I know with strafe attacks in the FRS1 that the Strelas and Ozelots are a pain in the arse to defend against

You do but its funny to say you don’t need it. I find its more fun to send US players back to the hanger with the A model when i find F-5E’s flying CAS in ground RB. Its pretty easy to bait E players i to using all their speed on a energy fight.

You don’t get to engage from too far away with the Viggen just because everything turns into a dark grey and lightish grey blob. You need to be able to see the target so its not a great thing. Also i find quite a few SPAA just shoot the AGM’s down.

Yeah, much harder for them to do that when you drop a 1000lb GBU down onto their heads from 25k ft

Yeah i bet thermals at 10.7 is pretty fun, eventually ill bother using my jaguar

It’s a joke about the weirdly low IR signature on F-5’s

But I will try your tactic if I get mirror matches, thank you

You own the Event F-5A on the US or the F-5C? I have the A since the camo on it was too good not to grab.

The nice orange and grey is very nice imo

Yeah it is, though they need to fix TIALD to be gen 2 and just fully converted the GR1A into the GR1B as all thats missing from the GR1B currently is the Digital RWR. The Phimat pods gave quite a decent boost.

In GSB, the Jaguar IS also finds value as its basically the same aircraft but you get the gen 2 thermals, an extra GBU and all-aspect IRs.

Im going to get the F-5E after the F-111 and A-7 probably

Fair, i have all of them and the F-5E is amazing. Its a huge gap in performance imo to the A and for only a .3 br

Id honestly kill for more strike aircraft in the 10.x range, its in a weird state where they are both OP and not OP. Guess it depends on uptier or downtier.

Yeah. One of the reasons Im hoping for a Hawk sooner rather than later. Been enjoying the AMX in GSB, would be nice to have the Hawk for GRB/GSB at that BR range

All depends on the snail and their balancing

Yeah, it does. Watch the Hawk 200 have less A2G than the AMX, but be a higher BR

I really doubt that. If it’s seriously that much worse, it’ll definitely be at a lower BR

You should see the F-15SA test livery then, USAF has best test livery imo, the orange and grey just works with everything

Dont forget to factor in Britian Tax.
