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

@YaSen @MuccoPazzino

do you guys have any sources to prove Italy has LJDAM? i made bug report for AV-8B and bunch of other jets to get them, but i would like something more concrete for Italian AV-8B

This thing is just too big to be competitive unless it have a decent engine. It also has a big ass lfp, consider how gaijin might implement it, it can severely limit its performance (FCS and turret drive)

@Il_Signor_Regio reported weapons for Marina Militare AV-8B+

anyone else get this bug on dev in the Su-30SM

Yeah it’s pretty big but I don’t think Gaijin with change it’s BR though. Comparing it to the CV90105 (BR 10.3) for example, it may be slower (should have an 884hp engine), but comparable short reload, harder hitting DTW2-105 APFSDS-T along with other 105mm rounds/missile, and a bit better armor. The real change will be the ZTQ15 with FY-4 ERA (maybe FY-5?) covering its LFP and turret cheeks that can resist modern high-caliber APFSDS-T rounds.

The F/A-18A should really get the AIM-7P as to not make the premium 100% better than the A. As it currently stands, it has better A2G and a better SARH missile, which really isnt that fair imo.

I also think the F-15A and F-14B would also benefit from recieving the AIM-7P (The F-14B also deserves AIM-9Ms but thats a whole 'nother discussion), as it has datalink, which would help these 2 jets out a lot.

Ngl tho the F/A-18C+ would also be baller.

Hi smin
Can u answer me if there is any plans to add something to israel in this update(exept cp premium)?
It can be that the nation that suffers the most is getting nothing
Like not a single spaa or even a merkava rework?

aim7p is navy only so f15a cant get it.

Fair enough. The AIM-7MH would be the best bet for the F-15A then.

There Is also the One about AGM65F.

Everything for Israel has already been shown this major.

F/A-18A in dev server config pre AIM-7P service and pre Operation El Dorado Canyon 86’s ~ Gulf War 91’s

F-14B receive AIM-7P Blk I or Blk II ?

Ah, BR 13.0 but lack AIM-9M

I expect unused aircraft miscellaneous another 3rd gen targeting pod after update dev server

There are plans for other nations who have not yet received one to receive them in the future yes.

Wow this is very disappointing
Well thx for the answer

So does Germany and Japan even more. So it’s a bit strange to single out Russia here, as both of those have even more Battleships possible.

FTFY

Another major update with broken balance and endless russian bias,
what a joke for a 2016 made SU30SM fights against 90s’ USAF and other countries

American aircraft in game have generally been superior since the release of aerial superiority. Russia does not in fact currently have a 14.0 aircraft too (until Su-30).

Date of introduction is a rather meaningless metric to judge by.
