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

Honestly it kind of remains to be seen, you can actually frontally dodge the SLM if going fast, it doesn’t have enough overload to hit you, so the strategy of just front siding a Pantsir and dodging will work against an SLM as well.

What? 10km ??? No

I mean, at this point realistically can we admit that we’ve went too far with modern systems?

look at the SPAA thats needed to counter the cas that was not needed.

For me personally it’s just tedious, how are the sub sonic attacks like the etendard, frogfoots etc gonna actually do anything if you have them in even an 11.0 uptier.

GRBs highest BR is still only 12 so if you get an uptier with an 11.0 platform against one of these SPAA you are fk’ed completely

Oh I agree the plan is solid. I just think that the GBU-39 warhead is too small to reliably work against highly mobile and small vehicles like the Type 81 and Slamraam. Seeing as these new spaa have the same TWS like radar as the TOR/Pantsir, they will always know when and where the GBU-39s are launched and thus will have ample time to relocate.

Although a bigger GPS guided bomb could very well do the trick.

effective range, or a non escape zone, over that, you can just f-pole it like facing ARH missiles in ARB

Mk84 LJDAM/EGBU-24 if they ever get added to the F-15E

Yeah… Ive been semi enjoying 11.7 line up and using the Tornado Gr1 again because if you get a downtier, you stand a chance and was a struggle but maybe managable in an uptier if lucky.

Now… Not a chance. Pretty much all CAS below 12.0/12.3 probably needs a BR drop or these new SPAA need to be at 13.0

Full data mine not a single change to Typhoon, Radar left untouched fm changes left untouched, no new missiles or CAS options.

Gaijin content to let the Typhoon have the worst Radar at 14.0 and the worst payload in all game modes…Fantastic

Wait I just found a napkin doodle that proves Kh-38 is hypersonic and it can see through smoke and can’t be shot down…“Bug report accepted”

Yeah. So Grom-2 and FABs are probably gunna be the ultimate meta weapon.

But does depend how hard they are for these SAMs to intercept

GBU-39 might be dodgeable, but they wont be able to shoot down 28 of them

With the introduction of the slamraam could we potentially get the AN/TWQ-1 avenger at a lower BR?

gaijin on their way to add the Grom-1 back

Wouldnt be surprised. But at least that means the Typhoon can get Storm Shadow as a GPS stand off weapon

Or potentially amraam-er at higher BR?

US is already good as they have multiple planes with 500lb/2000lb gps guided bombs.

There are other nations in much more need.

That is true, but how much can they launch before the return missile comes. Seeing as it’s and F-15E/I it will have to start turning almost immediately after noticing the launch if it doesn’t want to headbutt a missile.

I just have yet to face a GBU-39 that I really struggled against, but maybe if I face someone in game that uses them well my opinion might change.

I think the meta is going to be to drop a bunch of Gbu-39s first then one or two Mavericks, very slim chance for any of the new sam systems to stop or dodge that, But then cas is going to have to waste all of its ordinance on spaa, which begs the question of why spawn cas in the future meta at all.

It’s unacceptable how they added LJDAMs and EGBU’s to Tornadoes before Strike Eagles.

Not to mention, it’s just a GPS+Laser GBU for both LJDAM and EGBU and they are already in game so it shouldn’t take much effort

a bit changed model and probably thats it.

It’s only unacceptable if you handicap yourself by playing only a single nation for bs reasons.

US made the thing, but had to wait for a while to only get it on the hornet

Not even done with US air or ground or helicopters or even naval now that they added the Iowas. I’ll play other countries stuff if it’s something I like.

Yeah. Its also unacceptable how they are adding Aim-120C5s to the F-15s and F-18s only and not everyone else
