Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

USMC F/A-18C in 2014 ~ 2015 retain Litening AT or upgrade to Litening G4 targeting pod ?

I’m curious about this

J-10A (early service) equipped this Air-to-Surface missile ?

KH-59. I dont know anything about J-10 using it.

Not necessarily. It 's more that they added the aircraft/helicopters that carry more than one kind of missile and more than one kind of guidance type later on.

I don’t know what pods they use in real life and I’m not sure what pod they are gonna have ingame.
The Litening II ingame already has a better resolution ingame than something like the Litening AT would have IRL.

you forgot the Kifir C.2 and C.7

I believe this is what u are looking for.

i swear god if this thing gets added before the Spice bombs that are less powerfull me a more people is gonna lose the sanity

The destroyed friction on rocks? Very annoying.

Could be related to the rumored ‘Strategic Bombing’ mode or April Fool’s event. These icons look like turbojet-powered, long-range air-to-surface missiles – given their operational range, that’s my speculation.

Losing 2 AMRAAMs for 1 targeting pod?

I won’t say “delay” because they never “do it”…
So I’ll say: the update sucks so much that the snails are probably rethinking some things right now.

Sales are not going as well as expected?

it lost to the Typhoon

Or maybe the update wasn’t going to be released this week in the first place and they are still working according to their internal schedule, which has nothing to do with prior update releases

LOL no, the ship has sailed, they wont add anything more radical. if they are, they just gonna put in nexxt update.

I know and that’s good, even if not a universal solution (not to mention close working with infantry)

But arent all Kh-59s rocket powered

it have a micro jet engine tho its a damn cruise missile

They have a jet sustainer, and even if they’re commonly referred to as missiles some versions might end up being classified as guided bombs ingame for spawncost calculation purposes.

I wonder when we will get the Badger or alike from the 2025 decal, we now have everything except the AMV from the decal.

A lot of people still dont realize that Gaijin just makes a lot of stuff up without any research whatsoever. Like flight models, optic performance, vehicle dimensions, interiors, armor values, etc… can just have arbitrary values and you only really notice if you keep an eye on bug reports and see how so many details, like sooo many are messed up and only get fixed when a bug report is made, sometimes takes years for the players to notice especially with more obscure vehicles.

It’s really funny to me how much they dont care about doing research yet are so strict when it comes to bug reporting.
