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

buddy the first ever RCH155 was realy just delivered to ukraine, by the point its added germany gonna have them themself either way, as of right now UK RCH155 exist as much as the german one
Germany could get it either way on the basis of an export, its not one designed for UK like the KF41 was for hungary, totaly different situations

I think it’s more that, 8 AMRAAMs plus a full A2G loadout was never really considered an important benchmark.

The Typhoon can do 4 AMRAAM/Meteor plus 2 ASRAAM/IRIS T, and carry a full A2G loadout, and it does it while remaining much more agile than the F-15EX does

6 missiles + ~12,000lbs of strike capability was, I think, considered plenty

and the best in class for like 15 years

someone say italian A-10?

purchased?? he he , nah we force fed them to japan XD

Spoiler

joking btw

Trial vehicles and gaijins reasoning for them is always a changing matter. If we go buy purchased it opens up even more cans of worms which again follows under trial, with that logic we get way more vehicles that dont need to be added just like the T80 U, Heavy tank 6 ect ect its a never ending rabbit hole

Pretty sure someone posted a link about them testing them a few months back

Advanced eagle from 2013, so more like 10 years. F-15E could do 4 amraams and full 20,000lb a2g when eurofighter was made though

And wouldn’t an advanced eagle be less affected by a2g loads than a eurofighter. It was made to handle such large amounts of extra weight

Who thinks Part 4 by next week?

who am I kidding? we’ll be half way through Part 4 after the trailer/teaser comes out

Back then, I thought Montana had been laid down- turns out it wasn’t, sadly xD

That being said; if that’s the only reason why you call the whole excel ‘terrible’… :')

Probably, trailer always adds a few thousand comments

Well if Italy tested then then I’m sure A-10 would be a good we forgive you package if it was added as a squadron vehicle : D

the UK has a official adopted the RCH155, none have been delivered yet, where as Germany hasn’t decided yet and might not go with it, at which point it would very much be like the KF41

imagine it gets to part 4 the second after the trailer drops XD

Or we give them the Saab A-38, it was a joint vehicle project before Italy dropped to work with Brazil.
