Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 5)

So su27 was actually A Historically nerfed same as the mig29 which was only rectified recently.

Due to US mains crying about the su27 and mig29s being OP when they werent op but were in fact competition for the US jets.

While the F15A got buffed, ans sat at a lower BR?

Where here does it make it change anytning about the USA dominating air in game for nearly 5 years.

Im sorry mate, but if you read up your wording shows the story as if britain wantef the better jas39c over sweden when in fact we wanted equality in it

How was the argument ever about that?

I really don’t know what you’re trying to get across here. The F-15A was worse than the Su-27 in everyway on the Air Superiority dev server, then US mains complained and it got “fixed” they still had the best missile in the game with a very good FM but at least our Radar worked now and the FM was much better.

Has everybody forgotten how good the R-27ER was?

Britain could only get the JAS-39C, and the only reason they got the C before Sweden is because they complained a lot.

They could have simply waited to get it alongside Sweden in Seek & Destroy.

All the er did was force people low to be food for gripen and f16c tho.

Just not the case lol the devs make the decisions

Yeah, so basically BVR was reserved to Russian mains now. It was really good, we should have gotten the Aim-7P with it, which would still have been worse. But somehow we only got it now.

Yeah because community complaints never influenced decision making, sure.

Hu… Surprised this thread wasn’t closed yet

Its time for it to close I have awoken the british mains now and they are angry at me please make it stop

Soooo is the update fully dropped or not?..

Nah… We wanted other aircraft to the Gripen. They were denied.

Sweden should have gotten the A in September alongside the F-16C and Mig-29SMT/G. Gaijin just screwed over Sweden not favoured Britain.

Given we had 11.3s to fight 12.0s.and then 12.3s…i think our complaining was justified for something and Britain had been rather neglected for a while at that point, which didn’t help.

How was this influenced by complaining when the Gripen came for Sweden and UK in the same update. Sure UK mains may have anticipated the addition of a South African gripen but they wouldn’t have know that Sweden wouldn’t get a C variant as well ?

MIG29G was delayed a patch as well tho.

Couldn’t remember which it dropped, but was then only 3 or 4 weeks. Still not the 12 weeks till the Gripen

I agree sweden should have gotten it earlier. But what could britain have gotten? Also whether the complaining was justified or not is not what I said. British mains just complain a LOT, I’m sure you’d agree with that.

Why did Britain get the Gripen C before Sweden? Because they complained enough that Gaijin gave them a Gripen. It just doesn’t make sense to add the A for Sweden, the nation which made the aircraft, and the C to britain which doesn’t even operate it directly.

Now, as morvran said they should have just added the Gripen A alongside the F-16C and MiG-29SMT, just as they should have added the F/A-18C alongside the EF-2000.

Hornet Sting? more like Hornet Stinks.

And yeah I did check integrity files, twice.

They added a SAAF Gripen, ZA is a subtree of the UK, ZA only operated the Gripen C.
Why Gaijin added an A to Sweden at the time? idk, but as it stands pretty much the only difference between the A & C in game is ARH missiles.

Would you rather Sweden not get a Finnish F-18 this update? The argument can go both ways.

lmfao my game crashed and i sent its report to developers lol its normal after each update. i know how much programming codes have been used in this game lol

I think we have a lot to complain about.

Our top tier MBTs are still basically unplayable and our TT ends at 10.7 for most

Our air tree is now reasonably solid, but in addition to no top tier in 2023. We got literally nothing else, not even good fillers. But the SHars added in 2022 have just gotten their placeholder HUDs replaced this update and it’s a major upgrade in SB…more buffs like EEGS are In the pipework. We also still get screwed over like Brimstones denied their IRL performance because they would be unfair Vs SPAA in the same update that added the Su-34.

Naval we are finally getting unscrewed with shell dispersal being fixed. It was 4x what it should have been. You literally couldn’t hit anything and we are finally playing catch-up. We had one of the smallest top tier naval lineups despite the royal navy being the biggest navy of the era. There was no excuse for that.

So, maybe we complain, but I don’t think any of it is unfounded and I think unlike some minor nations, we have just found our voice and won’t be ignored anymore
