Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Naval AI gunners have been replaced by AI bomber crews it seems

The first few days / weeks of this update are going to be so funny in GRB

All the nations getting new AA’s are understandably going to want to be spamming them to try them out, so it’s gonna be barely a handful of actual MBT’s fighting each other haha.

Scenes when US/ISR/GER/JPN/SWE are all on the same team, and they get steamroll GG’d in 1 minute because it was 10 guys in AA’s, and only 2 guys in clickbait’s vs a dozen BVM’s lmao.

That was bad, now AI naval gunner need glasses now…

No more immersion breaking than entire teams being scouted like its arcade every match lol.

Humvees will drive circles around them. They should have added 30mm or avenger Humvee as SHORAD option too

Some of our museums have them with side skirts but older photos show them without the skirts, clearly our museums saw them as too lewd with their side skirts lol.

regarding the band, it comes down to the classification used

Nato’s J band is the equivalent of IEEE X band

X is more equivalent to I. Ku is more to J.

Something I just remembered that I’m curious about: how would the F-5N work in-game (some textures for it were datamined)… they had the guns stripped out.

We already have jets without guns so that’s no deal breaker

The best thing about this update is after 2 years 7 months my CAS tactics are FINALLY obsolete.

Gonna be real interesting to see how CAS adapts to this new AA landscape.

(I get the feeling they won’t - they’ll just keep asking for more broken missiles until we get the same standoff slop meta we just escaped lol)

Yeah, even flying low won’t save you if the radar picks you up.

Spoiler

There’s a small overlap it seems

None of the Navy Phantoms have [internal] guns, and the Sea Vixen has no guns at all. As long as it has missiles its a dogfighter.

Can we get more information about the bol of Finnish F18mlu2 and other countries’ F18 bol?

the new spaas are still within expectation, the none escape zone is around 10km, so time changed back to when you need to stay away, fire and escape in maybe 15km away.
just be more careful about the non warning IR missile like SLM, it may catch up secretly.

and since it’s a VLS, you can park the launcher behind a building

Yes there is, but X is commonly associated with I, as it is the only one covering I, and Ku is with J, as it covers most of it.

No. When you do that, the missile goes for a very long vertical climb, and does a giant arc, making that tactic less than ideal.
