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

at the end of the day they are a sub tree, they will come eventually its just how its gonna be, and when most of these “uktoids” asked for this stuff in the past it was due to literally every domestic option we asked for being denied, not to mention even if we stopped asking for Aussie or Canadian Hornets still a chance they will come since gaijin are already considering them

and if modelled correctly(which i had also stated) it shouldnt even reach mach 1. hell it takes ages to reach mach 1 with just 4 missiles…

META changing is still a big deal even if itself doesn’t define the BR entirely. The spitfire LFmk9 is the best dogfighter at 5.7 but that isn’t stopping dogfights there.

Centurion mk2 is the lowest tank with full stabilisation but doesn’t make everything else unusable either but it still affects how you play the game around them

Does your username have anything to do with F-15E?

Harriers do good and they cant reach mach 1 ever, that’s not that bad of a tradeoff in reality

again 10% more often then not its the US or Russia pushing the Meta also conveniently left out the F15E from the F15s I see

F-15E was meant to be counterpart to Su-34, with the -220 engines, but F-15I forced the meta farther since it got 229 from the start

Still get pwned by F15s a lot more than sukhois.

the F15E with 220s would still have been among the top dogs, with the 229 it just wasn’t a match

Gameplay wise the British tree is just as diverse/good as the German tree overal, which was what I meant.

A lot of people disagree, mainly also because the average fabled “really good British mains” aren’t as good at the game as most of them would like to admit.

What are you on? It’s what, 2 tons heavier than a regular F-15C when empty? It would be way worse at a2a

Only saving grace is the AIM-120

thats because of its br really. 10x aim120 is at 14.0

sigh you know what? lets try this another way

we have this in the game already:

hornet? at 14.0 has:

imagine engines so weak that your AB thrust is the same as another 14.0’s jet engines’ thrust at NON-AB

AND then you exacerbated the issue with 10+ missiles

I would agree on diverse not really good, dont get me wrong there are good tanks but baring maybe one line up in the UK I would take pretty much any german line up over a british one at the same br for competitiveness

(I can only speak up to 7.7 for germany but from what Ive seen and head the only line up the UK might have better is 8.3 and 7.7)

EFT and rafale made f-15e look normal looool and f-15e isnt even normal, it just looked normal in the face of EFT and rafale

F-15C but tons heavier if it wasn’t already slow enough

Exact same argument everyday.

I do get where youre coming from. However excluding the Harrier I cant think of a singular vehicle that hasn’t got an equal or better counterpart in the german tree. and once it gets to jets Germany has a vastly better time overall by every measurement.

I think it varies depending on BR, at least on the ground. Excluding all my event/premium/hidden vehicles (these are mostly ground vehicles):

  • Reserve to 4.7: I wouldn’t definitively pick one over the other. Both have their good vehicles and their stinkers.

  • 5.0 to 7.0: Germany wins easily.

  • 7.7 to 8.7: imo Britain is more fun and diverse here overall. Britain has a far better 7.7, 8.0 is pretty close, 8.3-8.7 go to Britain too.

  • 9.0+: Probably Germany, although Britain has some fun BRs.

Air tree I’m a bit less experienced with, still working my way through rank VI of the British tree.

yeah thats kinda how I feel about it as well, when it comes to the air tree ill defiantly say I think the UK is the better of the 2 not just because their top tier is a lot better but also I feel their props are a bit more user friendly relying more on turn time them rate fighting

I feel british 9.0+ would be a lot better if we got more of our Support tanks instead of just spaa lol
