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

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

are the numbers for nation popularity public?

I love popping Leos with the Starstreaks

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

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.

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

Meanwhile 10.5km OSA at 10.3

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

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

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.

Won’t it be a excellent munition killer though?

13.0 it can have Fox 3s as the Swedish viggen is 13.0 with fox 3s

I’m not expecting it either, given how popular of an aircraft it is to just suddenly sneak it into like a 2nd dev server or something.

But I’m also trying to look at all realistic possibilities given what we know and what we do know is that F-2 while unlikely is still in the realm of possible so until we see the dev stream tomorrow, no reason to get defeated and all that

Basic, isnt it? Just pick right nation…

No lmao, at least 13.3 with AMRAAMs

F-18C is not equal in performacne to the Viggen DI.

Yes and no an R-77-1 will be modelled to somewhat perform like a longer range MICA.

A Typhoon is never (i’m exaggerating a little) winning a BVR fight with a jet that has a better Radar and can essentially 2 for one your missiles.

Su-30 is going to be a menace in air and ground battles

Prob 13.7 would be finest place, if not even 13.3(theres su-34 with not much less ARH missiles, better top speed, maybe radar(depends on if gaijin will give it 79v4))
