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

We need these on the PC and Console version of the game

@Smin1080p_WT Two questions, which will be held in a friendly manner.

  1. Will the dev have a plan to rework how sub nations/trees are implemented into the game as it was mentioned in the dev notes that we would naturally see more.

  2. How come this update is so small I mean we usually have November updates that are bigger than this.

I mean to be fair the 1st update of the year is usually quite small - especially relative to the December patch.

I believe that we should not get Royal Oak as our R-class, as it would be better to keep capability parity with Arkhangelsk (Royal Sovereign) in the RU tree, which is in her 44’ fit.

Giving the UK TT something like Ramillies which saw the mid-war minor AA refits like the Royal Sovereign did would be best.

Hello.

At the moment, F/A-18A is not receiving AIM-7P but F/M.

Currently there are no plans to add it for F-14B, as its not clear it receives any datalink with its radar the way it does with F/A-18. If that can however be proven otherwise however, a new suggestion can be made: Community Bug Reporting System

Right now however, if added to the F-14B, it would be functionally no different to the AIM-7M.

Idk its an old picture

Anyword on further SHar/harrier stuff that is WIP like EEGS, IR sig reduction or sooty exhaust removal?

Currently there are no such plans.

This update is not small by any means and is around the average size of most majors. Conversely, the last couple of updates were just large. This update is already larger than Kings of Battle and Aerial Superiority. So im not sure by what metric its judged to be “small” other than a basic flat comparison of the number of vehicles with the previous couple of majors.

Is there any particular reason why this is the case? The F/A-18C Early and F/A-18A both have access to the AN/APG-65Q radar. Is there some difference between the avionics suite that causes these two planes to have access to different radar missiles?

so because russia lacks ships this has permanently locked us out of a ship, and even more so the Italians locking them out of 1 of 3 of the Conti De Caviour class. (I doubt we will see Leonardo da Vinci)

which is a massive shame for italy as the Giulio Cesare is arguably the more famous of the 2 sister ships, but we will never see her in italian colours now

Final HUD corrections for the Sea Harriers and also MAWS corrections for GR.7 are currently being worked on.

But does that include EEGS for the Sea Harrier FRS1?

Would make sense to come with the finalised HUD

IR Signature reduction is a bigger issue, but would be good to get the ball rolling on that using the F-117’s code. Espeically with the increase in thrust and therefore increase in “temp” this update.

Sooty exhaust should be easy to remove and the report is 9 months old now

There are multiple other versions of the Revenge Class possible without Sovereign. Rodney and Warspite are far more significant additions.

Is South Africa getting a SAM this year?
e.g. Cactus Crotale, SAHV-3 and Starstreak carriers

I mentioned the R-class but I more meant for the Conti De Caviour as its Italy’s top battleship at the moment and only leaves italy with at most 5 more battleships (assuming we get both Andrea Doria and the 3 Littorio sisters)

I hope there will be soon as many of us are starting to feel the choking effect it causing.
Like we have,

South Africa,
India,
Hungary,
Romania,
Belgium,
Netherlands,
Thailand,

That’s 7 subs and our playable is 10, I hope to see some solutions soon especially if we are getting more down the line.

What news on the heavy sam or removing top tier jets from ground

yeah that wont happen lol

Well subs don’t have to be unique, their goal is to be represented in away without adding a new nation that hasn’t got enough vehicles to fill some BR brackets.
