Hopefully once the update drops and new players nab it a terrible loss rate they will change their minds. I also imagine lack of BOL would get reported constantly on the bug report site.

Nah Deathmisser just doesn’t care since its not a nation he cares about so of course hes not gonna waste his time looking at what this effect actually means. Clearly we should be grateful we are getting the worst Hornet and if we wait 6 more updates when the F22 is here the MLU 2 will be here and the MLU 1 will be never seen…

Even with BOL its gonna underperform for a premium attacker, i dont see the AV8B(NA) doing exceptionally well (unless im in the seat, been popping off in that today)

Should go down to 11.0 with the SHAR Frs1 or get 2 BOL in the dedicated missile pylons (hopeful i say it enough times it becomes reality(im loosing my mind))

Ah, another Type 74

Its irritating to be talking about BOL constantly, but it must be done, the Phimat isn’t an acceptable replacement or alternative and the devs must be made aware of that fact.

Yeah I don’t know what his goal was, assuming I didn’t read Smin’s message when I clearly replied to it, finally someone who understands what anyone else would

Imma still wait for the French tier 7 premium, or whenever object 292 goes to crates and might as well grab the excelsior lol

Yeah adding the old Finnish Hornet that lacks HMD which is quite essential and make it a 14.0 while the American one gets all bells and whistles, really poor judgement, it doesn’t seem like they’ll add all 3 iterations of the Finnish Hornet, so maybe they’ll save MLU 1 as a premium to have us grind MLU 2 whenever that comes

Yeah absolutely. Phimat isnt even an option for airRB since it doesnt even fix harriers IR issues with more countermeasures, but also replaces a missile.

Just suffer with 60 countermeasures because “balance decisions”

when is the hornet sting update?

Yeah, the only advantage is that it allows you to run pure flares internally whilst still having chaff, but I doubt the need is overly great to have chaff in anything but a full uptier. in SB, I dont think its needed at all in 11.3/11.7 brackets as you can just exploit MP

I made a poll, its realistically the only thing we can do to try and get gaijin to change their minds, i know its a longshot but at this point anything is worth a try

But yeah, this BOL decision has changed my decision from pre-ordering the T.10 to waiting a while.

Yeah no thanks. Compared to the AV-8B(NA) - £60 for a worse FM, no BOL, worse gun, worse A-G weapons, only 3 missiles if you want to carry 60 flares which will do almost nothing against a rear aspect missile (even a 9B). Oh an also the same BR as the AV-8B(NA) AND it will now regularly face F/A-18A’s and F-16A’s in uptiers which 11.3BR almost always is.

But we get a title. Honestly I don’t think as it is currently it’s not worth it even on 50% sale. I wanted to get this after seeing it turn up in the files but with how mishandled it is I cannot justify buying it at all.

Im gonna be honest, with the flight model buffs itll be able to hold its own, im worried that those rouge IR missiles that you take defense action against and it STILL hits its going to just be annoying. Whereas BOL would allow you to preflare a lot more comfortably. And without it, ehhhh
