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

Right now no. Please report it tomorrow with the appropriate evidence and we can pass it on for review.

So FGA9 needs 2x Bug reports then. Correct AAM placement and another for Fuel tanks conflicting?

Wouldnt be an issue for the F6 if it was getting Fuel dumping… But oh well

Full details wlll be in the changelog about what gets what.

Just one for the missiles conflicting showing them on the further pylon. As this solves both issues.

Yeah its a shame to see them come in such a bad WIP state, even the IRIS-T barely cracked 30G sometimes

Right. I shall do that in the morning.

Thank you.

Any news on BOL?

Hi @Smin1080p_WT
the Datamine states that the AS-30 is being removed from the Mirage IIIS.
Could you say why this is the case, because it could carry it IRL and it had it on the dev-server.

Thanks

Genuinly would like to see the BOL nerf reverted

Yup and its impact is huge.

7/8 Rank VIII British aircraft are (for a lack of a better word) dependent on BOL. The only one that doesnt have BOL, could get BOL (and maybe should imo)

It would be huge to be fixed and not just for Britain. Problem child aircraft for multiple other nations like the Viggen D/Di would also get hugely buffed

We generally should get more BOL pods for jets that use them irl

Ignoring the rocket pylons, the hunter has 4 default stations: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The fuel tanks being added are the larger ones for stations 2 & 3, the F58 uses AAM rails on stations 1 & 4. SRAAM from what I can tell are mounted on stations 2 & 3 so that’s where the conflict arises.

SRAAM on a Hunter, note the dog tooth in the wing, which occurs just outboard of stations 2 & 3

The FGA.9’s have the AAMs mounted on a “new” station between the inboard and outboard stations as seen in the 2nd picture I sent earlier.

I guess we need to bug report the lack of the smaller 100 gal tanks? Though that might be a FAA thing?

Yeah. I do think a cap on the amount of BOL pods might be in order. the F-18 with 8x might screw over the chances for getting BOL fixed. But yeah. 2 being added to aircraft here and there wouldnt hurt

Yeah, was thinking that. those FGA9 pictures show a mini tank that would go I guess where the 1000lb bombs do alongside the SRAAM

Yeah a few could really benefit hard from it (tho i forgot the names of the jets ill be honest)

Dear Error 405 i hope your pillow is warm

some F-16s and F-15s mostly from what I understand

Yeah. Its been 2 weeks. Im surprised they ahvent fixed it yet

I think the F-15C could get BOLs, it doesnt necessarily need them, but it would be awesome to see. Not sure about the F15J and F15J(M) tho, would need to dig a bit

i know we have USS fletcher but could we see USS johnston ?
Destroyer Photo Index DD-557 USS JOHNSTON

all toptiers should recieve them for playability and balance reasons

Found this photo of a Jordanian F.6 with 100 gal tanks on the outboard

2nd picture down

source: Hawker Hunter F.6 (4) Page 01-960 Has a few more pictures of the 100 gal tank

Struggling to find anything else though

Yeah, I dont think 2 would hurt too much, but is tricky and I dont think Japan ever had BOL, but they might choose to be one of their cases of "F-15=F-15 and therefore if one can carry them, they all can.

Shame that doesnt apply to everyone, but alas…
