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

It wouldn’t be that low in GRB, it gets AIM-9L(I)s so it has to be at a higher BR even if it “only” gets AGM-65D/G over the F-4Fs AGM-65Bs

Germany was more heavily artillery focus (more or less since prussia) and after ww2 germany was reluctant to have bombers because they are mostly used agressively

Israel will probably get US copy paste 6th gen.

Yep, and given where the front line was. That makes far more sense from Germany’s perspective for defence.

The normal F-4F doesnt have aim9L. I see no real reason why this plane would get Lis. It would be a redundant to add in the first place

It’s an upgrade over the F-4F.
AGM-65D/G over AGM-65B
AIM-9L(I)s over AIM-9Js

The F-4F is 10.3 in GRB the F-4F ICE is 11.7. There is no reason to add this plane. It offers nothing new for ground rb. It would suck in Air RB. The only reason to add it is to make the grind harder. It could be squadron but germany already has 2 squadron planes. And germany definitely doesnt need another shitty bomber premium like the tornado and su-22

I’m of the belief nothing really suffices to be called 6th gen until it has accomplished the ability to have supersonic flight without fixed vertical stabilizers. That’s the only real big game changer.

Look at F-15QA demo for an idea of what the EX does

You act like they never add any vehicle variant that only gets slightly better weapons lmao.

I don’t see why the KWS LA shouldn’t be added and I feel like they should have added the Tornado ASSTA 3(.1) as well instead of adding that as a mod for the ASSTA 1

True heavy multirole is only done by the strike and advanced eagles.

because germany already has 3 F-4s? They could add an F-4 with only aim9bs at 10.0 and the historical F-4F with aim9Ls aswell, but that would just clutter up the german tree

They should rather add the 2 vtol prototypes for germany instead working on this plane. These planes would actually be unique

And? Have you seen the amounts of Spitfires, P-51s, Bf 109s, etc that are in the game?

Yeah and you can get these in a very short time unlike high tier planes. It would literally just change the missle.

If there needs to be another version of a jet then it should be an early german starfighter and not another F-4.

Folders exist for a reason.
There’s plenty of examples where the only changes between variants are only different weapons or a different engine, even in high tier.

Nah, they should get a late Starfighter MFG with Kormorans

The weapon which is bugged since it was introduced?

It still funny to have option

Yup, that one. I love AShMs.

I’d much rather see that than potentially another Starfighter at 9.3
