I’m slightly surprised we aren’t also getting an F-102 as maybe a premium for the US and Italy (Turkey) to go along with the AIM-26.
i doubt F-102 is going to be a premium, at least the one that could be added, also Turkey got its F-102’s from the US which means the Turkish F-102 would go to the US
Not everything will go to it’s maker, stuff will get added where and when gaijin sees fit

As far as Turkey goes, all of its stuff so far has gone to its original owner. The reason why their F-104 is in the Italian tree is due to them purchasing it from italy

Just because it has in the past doesn’t always mean it will in the future I mean we even got double of the same vehicle in different trees, well in the case of this updates 3.
Turkish AMBT in US, the F-104’s were license Italian or something along those lines
Anyways there is no point for an f102 in italy
There is, so they can have a delta jet : )
Eurofighter Typhoon?
Also would like to mention that while the F-102 could carry the Aim-26, due to its size it could only carry exactly 1 of them and no other missiles
It better get the 250 ton warhead if it can only bring one
for the sake of WT, it would be the conventional warhead one
These can be placed at higher BR, I hope they both come with AGMs and Magics, while for lower tiers we can still have less armed variants with gunpods.
And not only Aermacchi

250 ton isn’t even all that much though. It’s the weakest they could add
What is your obsession with nuclear weapons?

The VFX are nice. Don’t get enough of those huge bright blasts in wt. I’d also like them to rework the GRB nuke effects they look a bit dated imo
That and they work really well against most targets
Plumbbob John test, firing AIR-2 from an F-89J. The only detonation of an air to air nuclear weapon. The warhead was over 6x stronger than that on the AIM-26A, and famously 5 USAF personell stood directly under the explosive to show nuclear weapons weren’t that dangerous
Lethal radius for the AIR-2 was apparently 300m, so less than a sixth of that means AIM-26A won’t be OP

Seeing as these new AA’s are all shaping up to be pretty useless at top tier, I really hope some of the custom battle mission makers out there create a euro truck simulator mode, so I can, if nothing else, larp as a big rig.
“Deliver golden eagles from Stanley to Goose Green” type missions ya know.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the new SPAA will be turbo effective against the people trying to fly CAP.
Too bad they didn’t add the FMTV SLAMRAAM
SLM might perhaps? The rest all look pretty cooked.
It’s titled DIRCM test video
