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

I mean ever since the Su-25s with R-73s moved down honestly the Su-24M2 with R-73s could be 11.7

I object! (No, not the Russian tank series)

I declare that it should go to Israel.

Y’all have your Christian marksman, and can get both the M60 Marksman and M48 Marskman all the same so you don’t need it when those other vehicles solve this issue all the same as it wouldn’t add anything to the techteee. Stawp being greedy, that’s the American mains job lmao. If you can get the M60 Marksman (which you literally already suggested) let us have this please 😭

Let us have a 8.3 SPAA that isn’t the extremely unreliable ZSU-23-4. We need a 35mm Radar SPAA more after all, and the hull’s historical ties from being a Magach 3 should be more than enough cause for gaijin to provide us said vehicle…
(I’m not saying you’re against it, just hoping gaijin gets the memo and someone sees this, if it goes to Britain for some reason I think I might lose it if I haven’t already by then)

But those are subsonic jets though. Su-24 may struggle to reach mach even with just 2 napalm, but it can still reach mach

US hull, British turret. interesting

That would actually be cool but they are never doing it sadly since gaijin hates interceptors like the Foxbat/hound and the US deltas

We dont even have Su-15 yet which would be a wonderful plane to have…

Counterpoint it would be .7 above the subsonics and would still be a bigger brick than even the tornados. I’d be fine with limiting it to 2x R-73 but having R-60Ms at that br and with how fat and slow it is makes it pretty much dead instantly which is fine for a bomber/strike aircraft but the br it sits at kills it.

Su-15, Tu-128 and a non-bomber Yak-28 would all be fine, just like the Delta interceptors, but I really struggle to see how they would balance the MiG-25 or 31 so they are not only fun to use, but also fun to play against

British company creation, as such it would go to Britain if added… (And the US won’t need it as we have the new SPAA coming this update that adds everything any of those vehicles would.) if they didn’t have anything else that could fill this slot I would be all for its addition to the US tree, but they don’t need it now.

Britain also has the Chieftain Marksman, which is a different hull so I don’t quite know how different it is from that M48/60 hull but maybe just enough to warrant its addition and prioritization of implementation over other vehicles. Simple to add after all, being copy and paste. The Magach 3 is different howeve, since instead of it being an US and Britain linked vehicle, this one’s Israeli and British linked, and that changes things.

Israel needs this vehicle more than Britain ever will, as they don’t have any 35mm SPAA vehicles and this would fill a place in the tech tree that couldn’t otherwise be filled. That’s why I suggest gaijin deviate from the norms of implantation and make an exception for the Magach Marksman. Israel needs it, Britain does not.

Gimme all the Marksmen, but most importantly, gimme the G6 Marksman and the Chally Marksman

It’s a shame because none have the funny spelling of the F-4J(UK) or F-5AG

i remembered it after posting lol. i dont think britian needs the m48/m60 one (what would even be different in gameplay?) but i want over a dozen F-15 for US so cant really talk

The most disappointed I’ve been in someone in game was when I flew the Hornet on the Dev server and typed THE PAIN in chat and they just didn’t get it

its still going

No. That’d be the American designations anyway.

Eagle F.1, Tomcat FG.1, Hornet FG.1 and Nighthawk GR.1

There’s just one small issue.

Don’t care
Chassis existed
Turret existed

Just combine them and bam, new vehicle
(That’s just as real as the Panther F we have ingame btw)

Spoiler

I know it’s only a model, I still want it, just like I still want the Rooikat HVM and G6 HVM

they sound better with their respective F-xx designation tbh

especially the F-117. that one rolls off the tongue nicely
