There is absolutely no need for the AIM-120C though

And is there absolutely a need for R-77-1?

Unless Gszabi says otherwise with their list, I don’t think the F-2 is out yet until we see the devstream tomorrow. I’m sure the devs will say something since everyone is getting something besides Japan otherwise.

I don’t think these are like for like but its addition is confusing given last years CM disclosure.

179

Its funny when you just time it right and nail them in the hull down position due to the spinning dart

I mean, you’ve read that one CM Covert Disclosure, didn’t you?
Gaijin said themselves that R-77s are lacking in performance and the R-77-1 (even though they didn’t consider it at the time) is the only real option right now.

At best I reckon F-2 isn’t initially on dev but comes later. I wouldn’t expect it this update unfortunately.

183

are the numbers for nation popularity public?

184

I love popping Leos with the Starstreaks

185

I know right has an effective range of 6.5km or a max range of 8km

186

Light tank (Light Tank Mk VIII, to be exact) is being given, and a British LT will have been released at a rate of one per update for the last three updates, much to the chagrin of BR 6.7-8.7 in particular.

Long may it continue.

187

I mean yeah, kinda

Also given Gaijins past statements and Russia’s actual usage the R-77-1 should replace all Russian R-77s, just remove the R-77 from the Russian tree entirely

Good job they didn’t just add a jet that can carry 12 of them to the game…

190

Ah, I see, thanks for the clarification, still good to me

191

AIM-120Bs are still gonna be better in most cases and you’ll be able to carry 10 of them on the Hornet

Britain with the meanest 2.3 line-ups tremble!

Depends on which plane and platform. The Su-30SM is already fine for 14.0 with normal R-77s.

However the F/A-18C is absolutely not 14.0 material with just 120A/B. It would already be average at best at 13.7.
