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

Eagle F-15, Tomcat F-14, Hornet F/A-18 and Nighthawk F-117?
Quite the mouthful each of them lol

F-15 Eagle, F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet, F-117 Nighthawk

Nah, Eagle F.1, Tomcat F.1, Hornet FG.1 and Nighthawk GR.1 sound cooler

its as real as FV215 tbh

shhhh, dont say that

Spoiler

it sets a precedent for the CL-1201 if they add G6 Marksman

True, none of them existed as finished products, not even the Panther F

not at all. G6 marksman and FV215 all had most nearly all parts made and ready. the CL1201 never left blueprints

its armament was real though. and apparently wouldve used a bunch of 747 engines or something for takeoff

seeing as Panther F is here and WT is running out of things to add, they should stop having the rule for only the germans and russians and let the laid down only vehicles of other nations start coming

not even close

yea the planes it carried were but that’s not the vehicle itself.

non-bespoke parts don’t count

but g6 and marksman turret were not specifically made to be put on each other no? so if g6 marksman is added, CL-1201 could follow in that precedent

Another thing that would fix the Su-24M and MiG-27s are an airspawn

@Smin1080p_WT With the 30km range of targeting pods now will we see cas spawn further away from the battlefield than 16km?

the difference is that the plan to actually marry the two parts together was next to a done deal. a nuclear powered aircraft which deploys phantoms was never going to happen because its only viability can be seen after a heavy dose of cocaine

We have 30km targeting distance now? Sweet!

from what I was testing yeah but honestly no one is gonna use it lmao people prefer fire and forget missiles over turbo long range shots (except for me)

This is the logic I use in my mind to ask gaijin to give us the Saladin FV601(R) 1 day xD

1 of the few times alvis/daimler didnt actually make a concept vehicle for their idea lol. Probably because they already had both the turret and hull as real things and didnt think they needed to actually put a CVRT/W turret on it.

Of all the strike aircraft in the game, why would the Su-24M and MiG-27s (not even designated as strike aircraft ingame) need airspawns?

The Su-24M and to a lesser extend the Tornados tend to struggle to get to bases due to their slow acceleration and meh top speed. Pretty much every match I have several fighters take the bases from all of the strike aircraft when I’m playing these aircraft. Even if they treat them how current air spawn maps work with strike aircraft where they spawn at 600 kmh.
