lol germany is always last

German Swiss F/A-18 is not worth stressing over if the leaks are to be believed.

With the Finnish one being 12.0 in GRB, it means gaijin didnt give it A2G load. So the Swiss one wouldn’t either meaning the only thing I could see a German player caring about, isn’t even gonna be on it.

Consistency.

It’s both, depending on the level of tea reserves, e.g.:

You see anything in the files about them fixing map rotations?

That’s entirely server-side.

Yeah… but it’s kind of getting old. Not to mention radars freezing up while trying to lock.

*Oto - Ansaldo, and what was inaccurate was the shell not the gun. Btw the guns of Soyouz were 406 mm based on and Italia 406 mm gun projects.

Tracked rapier inbound, I am very happy about this.

I hope dev stream shows off some good stuff because… these leaked ground vehicles are so underwhelming that it’s not even worth making fun of it.

one of the best additions is unironically the DF105 which is saying something because it’s both no longer needed, and should’ve been added 4 years ago when French players asked for it.

Yeah, it took gaijin almost 4 years to port over the DF105 to the french tree… let that sink in

With the size of the leak list I think that’s it.

i would welcome a f-18 with only a gun lol

if they dont add f-18 to germany, there is almost nothing free for germany in this update lol

Germany F-18, bottom of the priority list rn.

  • No A2G ordnance
    meaning it literally provides nothing for Germany currently. So it can be delayed (and likely will since Germany isn’t exactly blessed with an abundance of jets going forward)

the C-701 and C-704 could be added to the game 1 year ago without breaking the game its missiles have similar performance to the AGM 65, KH29 and TE

C-701 T/KD
mass - 117kg
max speed - 0.8 at 0.9 mach
max launch Range - 25 km
seeker - IR or TV
warhead - 30.5 kg SAPHE

C-704KD Missile info:
Missile weight:290kg
Max speed: 0.9 mach
Max launch Range: 35km
Propulsion system: Solid market engine
Seeker: IR or TV
Warhead Type:Blast-fragmentation warhead or penetration blast warhead
Warhead Weight: 165kg

(can be nerfed to have a 20 km lock range like the KH38MT)

Happens from time to time to different nations, nothing new.

Treat it as if we got the first dev server’s list of vehicles a day early.

Everytime I tell myself something along the lines of “this has to be the worst update for ground players” Gaijin tries to outdo themselfs a couple updates later.

I’d find it impressive if it wasn’t a bit worrying and somewhat depressing as a ground player
