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

Understandable, again its a ****show every time he talks because he dodges our questions and blatantly tells us the the devs dont care. If we were to have him talk about it again like that day you’ll see him delete posts because he has to. He says one thing and it leads to more anger. Ask most of the active members in that conversation and they’ll tell you the same thing. Smin had to delete stuff because the entire thing is clearly a terrible decision but the snails gonna stand by it regardless.

Its again a pool of sharks and nothing except what we want to hear would actually make people happy.

Around Q2 or Q3 2014 for F/A-18C (USMC/USN)

F/A-18E Early (Block 1 standard) in early 2000’s (pre Iraq War), but the F/A-18E Late 2014 ~ 2017

Again for right now the only non deleted info is my questioning asking about both MLU 1 and 2 and Smin stating only one is planned along with his older reply that the next model will be one with A2G. You cant put MLU 1 between the MLU 2 and the 1994 model because theres no room without either the MLU 1 being the same BR as either the MLU 2 or the 1994

mhm, knowing gaijin they props thought they could string the Finnish hornets out over time rather adding a group all at once.

And my god it’s almost 6am, how come I’m not half dead yet lol

To be fair most of the deleted posts are him referring to the unique options are placed whenever possible which immediately turned into a cesspit of people calling him out.

The Mig 21 bis on Finland is just a basic Mig 21 Bis(without bombs for historical accuracy but other nations get bombs for balance… idk lmao)

If this whole logic of we try to add unique vehicles when possible was true we would’ve gotten MGBT with ECM pod/CM pod (just let it have extra CM’s and it had the ability to use AIM 9E. Yet again that wasn’t chosen so i get why he deleted his post because it was just a flat out lie lol.

Realistically gaijin essentially screwed Finland over because of compression the F-18C current should be 13.7 and the MLU 1 should be 14.0. MLU 2 could come later and gaijin could add foldered versions of the MLU 1 and 2 with and without 9X and late Fox 3 so that multiple gaps could be filled if they were actually worried about running out of vehicles for Finland. Since Gripen NG/E and F-35 are all thats left.

This is why I support Sweden becoming a regional nation rather than one country one sub, but it does seems like Norway is being on track to becoming a sub

Eh norge and danmark would only fill the (and a actual 5.x fighter for once in the entire TT god i would kill for a spitfire since it gets boring using 4.7’s at 5.7 in a full uptier) 8.x-9.x bracket which is regarded as essentially hell by most who’ve actually played the TT. Outside that we both use essentially the same F16’s with the Norwegians using Penguins. If sweden were to get a 5th airline a united line like Benelux with danmark and norge would make the most sense. Combine our vehicles and give both nations camos so one isnt left out. You would give sweden decent 9.x fighters and the beautiful CF-104 from Norway and the 13.x bracket would finally have an option between CAS and CAP since Gripen A only has AGM 65A for CAS and skyflash for CAP with 9m whereas the C has AGM65G and Aim 120. Would be a huge benefit but i see many people disliking that.

Realistically its more likely Sweden will get F 35 from Danmark and CF-104 from Norge as those are the more unique vehicles that fill gaps and a penguin firing F16 would be hated on by the US players. Ill take whatever honestly.

If that is the case it should have 65E2s i think it ends 2010. Which begs the question why is it considered a Late. But I digress

Do you guys think the update will drop this week or next week?

13th is my bet

I would prefer next week cause that would mean more ironing out. But in reality it will probably be this week.

I guess there could be a second dev server

unlikely, unless there is some hidden feature they haven’t told us about they want to test, it seems like we’ve seen everything, and it’s all working well enough to push to live I think

yeah I could see it as early as Tuesday tbf

yup, though Wednesday is my guess

Nah that won’t be my luck they always drop an update when I work at the farm lol

If Wednesday and Thursday are already taken, I’ll guess on the Tuesday.

Let’s see if I can keep up my streak of incorrectly guessing update release dates.

AGM-119A is currently an unused modification in the files, as per the datamines. I believe there is a good chance to see them on F-16s soon
