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

balance would be reducing its BOL from 4 to 2 and realising off rip, its weaker in flight performance then the AV8B(NA) we need to give people a reason to buy this.

But i guess we dont know anything right??? we just play the game and use the vehicles for extended periods of time hahah. we cant POSSIBLY know what were talking about.

double also, my main appeal for buying the AV8B(NA) in the first place was having the Gau-12 at 11.3 in airRB (because gun fights are kind of common because the missiles are pretty basic) but the T.10 doesnt even get that luxury, among its other defects.

I can already see people complaining because we are complaining about the harrier, ive noticed a couple individuals really seem to have a hate boner for british players lol

real. america after getting another premium lowered in BR after complaining but british mains are the issue.

This is from someone who has BOTH USA and GB fully complete, along with all the premium jets in USA.

Not gonna lie, I would take the Adens over the GAU-12 any day, but otherwise yeah.

Apparently everyone turns into a god as soon as they start using a British vehicle, so the vehicles have to be nerfed or at a higher BR (or both lol)

they should give it M919 rounds lol

The Adens always 1 shot for sure, but ive still not got used to them.skill issue but lack of tracers always throws me off. im assuming since gunfights happen less in 12.3 and i never used it when it was lower. but the Gau12 is DEVASTATING as so fun to use.

im looking forward to using them for the suprise kills in the T.10 at 11.3 (when it gets BOL ofc)

If only they could figure out how to keep the sabot from flying into the intakes

I believe in Gau-12 supremacy

On both AV8B+ and LAV-AD

Hits so much harder than M61 Vulcan and reaches out further too.

why cant they make airplane compatible APFSDS :(

GAU-12 vs F4EJ

0.75km shot too haha

this should definitely get M919

Beautiful shot in both meanings of the word

Does the LAV-AD get the same ammo as the Stormer AD?
I’ve found the gun to be pretty lacklustre even against planes

FOD, foreign object damage :-)

Airplane engine doesn’t like to inhale bits of sabot

true, but they could for sure give LAV-AD M919

Yeah they get the same belts

I guess it depends on what the target is, Su25 for instance doesn’t seem like dying

I remember when the HVAP had ~91mm pen

Ah that was good times

Tbf ive hit su-25s with a tow before and done nothing so its not really an exclusive issue

Dunno, I seem to be mostly getting regular hits when using the HVAP belt and the SAPHEI/HEI belt lacks the punch of the 35mm SPAAs

Also, on a sidenote, it’s good to know that the LAV-AD has slightly better elevation and way more ammo ontop of having access to the Hydra rockets.

Why couldn’t we get the Stormer AD with the GAU-13? :(

they can add the APEX ammo made for F-35, that should work with GAU-12
