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

did you know that TWS+ does not work well now,it often locked on the air instead of planes

All being American aircraft btw, your point being?

Why slat armor on the Abrams’s turret isn’t modelled as actual armor?

The F-16AM is the worst 13.7 Falcon after the F-16A OCU

Smin please, switch Su-30 to the SM2 so it can actually compete with F-15E and EFT in BVR. You can even give it nerfs to balance it even more

Where early Tracked Rapier with contact fuze for 9.3/9.7?
:(

insert smin: “going rabble rabble rabble doesnt actually fix anything”

We dont know what else to do smin!

You clearly have not played each nation’s MBT to think of such a thing, the Abrams even with the turret basket is gonna keep staying one of the best top tier MBTs

you can try to dodge the point if you want, but you know this is in coloration to the fact the Soviets have locked both the Italians and British out of a Battleship yet have more 7.0s then both nations combined

last I checked Germany and Japan also had rather Large navies compared to the soviets so its expected that they would have more ships, yet some how the Soviets have a larger top tier line up then, Britian, Italy, France and even the US. you quite literally named the only 2 nations that have more ships and their ships are their own not trophy ships.

Edit: Sorry even germany have less 7.0 the literal only nation with more tech tree 7.0s then the Soviets was Japan, the Soviets didnt need Royal Sovereign or Giulio Cesare

@Smin1080p_WT
Can we get the Harrier 1 virtual instructor to allow a reasonable AOA limit.

Right now it restricts the Harriers AOA by an unreasonable amount. It’s not fair or reasonable to restrict a fighter aircraft’s AOA to below buffet onset when other fighters can pull into heavy buffet with virtual instructor.

Trust me bro you dont want that, i would much rather have a towed Rapier with the stock proxy fuze missile and no Radar or Shorland S.53 with Starburst for 9.3/9.7

best 13.7 falcon: F-16AM (FR)

wouldnt dare to call Belgian F-16AM best 13.7 falcon
sure you are lighter because you are flying the A model, but you trade having an actual hmd for the radar and stronger engine, its as strong as the F-16C if anything

best 13.0 eagle: F-15J (JP)

meanwhile it has a bit faster 9M’s in its kit(which also means it turns a bit worse then 9m cause its going faster), you are trading the gbu-8’s for it, for air rb thats nothing but for other gamemodes it would be nice to have some kind of precision guided weapons.

best strike eagle: F-15I (IL)

E and I are basically identical, the only difference is literally the engine covers on I giving it like 1% reduced drag.

best phantom: F-4F KWS LV (DE)

by far not true when it comes to performance by br, would say isr F4E takes the cake for the best phantom having 9G’s instead of 9J’s like the american E, but both are still performing really well at their br’s

its better then having it condemned to the blackhole of 10.0 where there are far better SAMs

Far better ? it is arguably better than the Roland 3 that sits at 10.3, having all 8 missiles ready to fire, more g pull and faster speed, and the OSA is underbr’ed imo liker all soviet spaa (it should be 10.7/11.0 and the 2s6 and Strela should be 11.0/11.3)

while it has slightly better stats and the 8 missiles ready to go, due to its pitiful amounts of HE filler it rarely one shots, ive seen it take more often then not 3 shots to kill a mig17 then I have seen it one shot a mig17

I would much rather take the Stormer with its better tracking, faster Missiles, and at least the guarantee that it will one shot

The strela is under brd
Seeing that at 9.7 is annoying.

Hopefully it can still be done in the future… The current subtree system is heavily flawed and restrictive towards all countries involved.

I absolutely do want the early Tracked Rapier. I’ve tried the current Tracked Rapier on the devserver and it works like a treat, so I don’t see why one without proxy fuze wouldn’t work.

If trailer systems were an option or a Shorland with Starbursts didn’t require additional work I would be asking for those, but as it stands an early Tracked Rapier would be easiest and quickest solution.

The Strela is borderline overpowered and I am tired of pretending that it isn’t.

The model is there, so can be done on this. However a Shorland or something like that would be cool, it would take gaijin a year or 2 to add most likely.

As for good/bad, more options is always better imo, if peeps dont want to use it, dont use it ^^
