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

Hopefully it’s to the A model since RAAF had F/A-18A’s

Or it’ll be an event like the Su-25BM with newgen IR’s down the road

Nah, not on a supersonic airframe. It would have to be something like an A-6 or A-10 with AIM-9Xs.

Maybe AV-8B had 9X?

True, perhaps the AV-8Bs carried 9Xs

@Smin1080p_WT
Is there a possibilty to answer this question, or is this something you can’t talk about? :)

Apparently there is plans for that. (Also to add HMD but can’t find anything definitive on that)

AV-8B Harrier II: History, Performance and Discussion - #115 by RazgrizLea

They have already been seen with AIM-120C so it’s not that far off.

Spoiler

With AIM-120C coming next update it would be cool to see a AV-8B+ (2020) with new missiles and HMD. Would definitely be a welcome addition.

[Edit] I did find a DCS Forum talking about HMD on the USMC Harrier 2’s. There’s apparently a request for information on arming them with HMCS and keeping them in service until 2029. But not sure if it went further since they are planned to be retired by 2027.

I don’t see why they would add this kind of bundle for air as well, but I could see them doing bundles that include a CAS plane

You are aware that skins mean nothing, right? Especially considering half of all skins, like many others, were put on the wrong vehicle.

Heck, Russia had a bunch of Indian skins, look where they are now.

This is like all other Moments of Valour, before it, skins on whatever vehicles they felt like, even if it’s the wrong variant. Which this one is filled with, so this does not deny the UK getting an F-18 that Gaijin has said is a possibility.

Adding to your comment, I’d like to see most existing premium vehicles become part of bundles. Existing owners would keep theirs and get a discount if they want to upgrade.

This way most premium users will have lineups to support their team

AV-8B(NA), Clickbait, RDFLT, AH-64A or RAH-66 bundle would be nice

I dread to see the high tier USSR bundle:
2S38
TURMS-T
A premium Strela
Su-25K

For reference, this skin:

Which was added to the US’s F-86F-35, flew the Canadair Sabre MK 5, which is in-game and has been for years.

So these skins are nothing more than a money grab to sell premiums when the Exact model was in game

Is the f18c early for USA worth for grinding? Does it get uptiers often? Or is it decent?

It’s pretty decent, 13.7 planes are pretty unpopular so you get more same-tier/downtier matches

Kinda ironic considering “Personal offer” exist and, thats the fun part, I got my 2S38 from it together with T-80UD (also Yak-38, but… lets not talk about it)

You wont see Su-30SM, typhoon, Rafale, or F-15E

God, I haven’t had a Personal Offer for months

So your saying, more Canadian vehicles in Germany?

They’ll need a premium to go with the 2A8
