13th
The Strasbourg event is until the 17th, so the two will overlap for a few days.
(They want the Fiat event out on the door before April Fools.)

Noted it seems to be a premium, rare to see for a rank V and up event vehicle. Nice.
iIRC usually the cut off is rank IV and below get premium stats, and even then not always.
Also like that you get reloads.
Still waiting for VT5’s armor update, it seems gaijin forget add a regular value for armor, which means it can be easily pen by .50cal or any 20mm cannon

Aim-120D - F-16V
R-77 - J-11A
R-77-1 - Su-35S
PL-15 - J-10B/C/C, J-16/D, J-15T, All stealth fighter etc
PL-17 - J-20, J-16
R-Darter - JF-17
(incomplete obviously, but a gist of the scale of the chinese missile usage in the future)
Vulcan is kinda overrated though

Hi is the Finnish F18C going to receive HMD like the other 18 version in the US tree? Currently on dev server i lacks this option.
The vulcan was THE nuclear bomber. Got past US defence and dropped a nuke, not once, but twice and the US never even detected it.
It was a force to be reconned with in the falklands!
Definitely not “overrated” as deserves any recognition it gets.

1st time yeah (even though there were B-47 dropping tons of chaff to mess with the early warning radars, but that doesn’t matter right)
2nd time they needed 3 out of the 4 Vulcans to jam and the last one got through.
Man i sure love arguing with people who are so sure they’re right on these forums about vehicles they’ve never even played.

No, confirmed by smin.
Eh… some debate whether the Blackbuck raids did… anything other than waste fuel. But was certainly a statement and a half for Britains commitment to retaking the Falklands
So is the B-52

So 1st time it got through… undetected
Second time, detected but unstoppable and… got nuked again
Skill issue, so much for an “overrated” aircraft
Also, never forget when patriot operators shot down the only GR.4 in the gulf war. Cant shoot down a Su-34 but sure as hell guaranteed to freindly fire

Yeah, it was, impressive feat of airmenship. But Sharkey Ward was livid :D.
His SHars could have done more damage in an hour
At one hand, yes, the invincible can bomb port stanley with its harriers, and other ships even bombed it with SAMs. On the other hand, there are only so much aircraft after atlantic conveyor fed the fishes, and hence more risk sending it even closer to the islands.
As much as I think the Vulcan is badass and definitely a great strategic bomber its role in the Falklands was purely political.
The RAF was trying to prove that they could “protect” the fleet at sea and get the funding taken from the fleet air arm.
Sharkey Ward calculated that with the money spent in fuel to get them there sea harriers could have dropped a few thousand 1000 pound bombs for the price of the 1 that the Vulcan actually landed on target.

I will not tolerate any disrespect towards the BUFF. (Mainly because i find it hilarious that it might out live most of the current aircraft in service XD)
