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

Im left wondering why they dont remove the CM pod from the AV-8A or AV-8S for balancing reasons that way those premiums match the Harrier Gr1

“b-b-b-but we cant do that! it wouldnt be fair!” eh at the end of the day ill never own it because its just worse then the AV8B NA, and I just dont see a point in going for something that is worse in every way compared to another plane that costs the same amount of money and is at the same BR

and A-10A late (missing 9M)
also ja37d and jas39a missing their 120s

Yeah, im going to wait, if the FRS1 fixes actually come this major update. Then the T.10 offers little that I dont already get from the FRS1.

Its already a chore playing radar-less aircraft in SB, but one with such a weak defensive kit on top of that…nah, Id rather run the Gr7 at 12.7. The gameplay will be the same and its free

Were not asking for weapons upgrade, that would require a higher BR,

Were asking for its countermeasures it used irl, just so it can have a reason to be at the same BR as the AV8B(NA)

Bomb tossing is quite fun

Or have a reason to exist the harriers are too hot.

New preorder packs do look fun, though I think I will be careful and wait for a sale for them. The joys of working for a company that could go under at any moment for years ha xD.

On the flip side, Rapier seems to have had its missiles improved I think? Follows the tracker better and the smoke issue on the missile launch is way less of an issue. Also its major issue is fixed, it is now a proud independent British missile that dont need no colony, it is no longer Canadian ;)

I do still hope we get a 2nd Rapier, impact fuse only at a lower BR with this reaction would require skill to use, but damn it could troll a few unsuspecting guys who think they are normally safe facing the UK to sit 3.5km away xD

All that dogfight stuff aside, the raptor will be the best ARH platform in the game

US players proceed to leave weapons bay open the whole match forgetting to close it, and lighting up on radar.

We don’t even have this update out yet. So we can confirm nothing about the next major right now.

It will probably open and close automatically

Le gasp!! There won’t be another update!!!11!!!1!!!

(/jk for those that need it)

Can you atleast confirm its coming this year? You guys had confirmed Gripen was confirmed to come in a certain year, and now Mitsubishi F-2, there’s probably other examples. Would be nice to get a confirmation that an air premium is coming for France, I think its been a long while since we had any confirmation ahead of time of something coming for France compared to other nations.

More likely just use the bomb-bay keybind, as that’s a system already in game

Gaijins balancing decisions are really some of the best I’ve ever seen lmao

  • Blatantly P2W premium vehicles (F/A-18c early and the Netz)
  • Not giving a vehicle more CMs despite it being worse than the competition in almost every way
  • Kh-38MT is a-okay, but Dual-Mode Brimstones limited to IR would be too OP, even if the amount was artificially limited. Can’t limit the USSR to Kh-38ML for some reason tho
  • No Pantsir nerfs in 2 years, despite it being the strongest AA by far
  • BR changes entirely based on SL earnings and overall player statistics instead of balancing earnings by changing the modifiers and the BRs based on vehicle and weapon specifications
  • Four SPAAs for Britain at effectively the same BR (Stormer AD can’t go down to 9.7 because Britain tax and an early Tracked Rapier wasn’t even being considered)
  • Balancing Stingers and Mistrals based on the performance of Iglas because they don’t believe those other manpads could be much better than Iglas
  • BR recompression
  • BR squish for CAS in top tier GRB
  • Brightest tracers known to man on the Starstreak
  • Smoky motors on certain smokeless SAMs

I could probably keep going for a while lol

Spoiler

Been waiting since yesterday to be able to post this, stupid server problems

It opens and closes really fast. When you press whatever to fire a missile, should just pop bay open, fire, and then close immediately
