NGL speaking of getting stuff like JDAM-ERs/SPICEs, i hope we get the GCS-1’s lesser known big brother, the XGCS-2 (2000lb GNSS glide bomb conversion)

Guys, I heard an interesting rumor that the role of a fighter in GB will be determined by the mount it carries. That is, if you only carry air-to-air missiles, it will be an orange fighter, while if you carry ground weapons, it will be counted as an attack aircraft marked in green. Even if this is just a rumor, I think it would be an interesting change
I guess the only good thing is that with all new AAs except for the SLM being mediocre is that the top tier CAS situation will likely stay similar to how it currently is.
Which is a good thing for CAS enjoyers, not so good thing for Ground players.
Yep

kinda I do think over all this is really bad for the EFTs purely because they dont have a stand off weapon like literally everyone else, so they need to go with in the max range of all of these new SPAA to even have a hope of hitting anything
It depends on if you mean the maximum range or the maximum effective range?
Because the new Type 81 (not too sure about this one)
, Slamraam and Spyder are pretty much useless after 8-10km. So that should still be managable with some laser guided weapons.
In principle, those infrared guided anti-ship missiles, such as the one appearing on the Japanese F2 or the YJ83KH, should also be able to lock onto ground moving targets at closer distances, right? I heard that for example, the AIM9X air-to-air missile has tested attacking vehicles and speedboats, and there is no essential difference between the mechanical infrared signals and the infrared guidance

the issue is any shot past that with the brimstone takes almost 40 seconds to land and are pretty inaccurate for the pop down then back up strat, the most reliable strat is still to fly in close but with these new SPAA its gonna be near impossible to do as trying to dodge one will just result in being hit by a second one from a different angle
so in reality all this has really done is counter the main CAS of Italy, the UK and Germany which only one of those nations actually got an SPAA this update

Eh by the time the the missiles reach 10km the Derby-SR is already way below mach 1 and the AIM-120C-7 is just at mach 1.2. You have a permanent warning of these missiles as soon as they are fired and have about 20 seconds to get into a notch. It takes more skill to actually die to these missiles than it takes to dodge them at 10km.
Only scary ones are the SLM and maybe FB10A (haven’t seen them tested yet), mostly because they are IR guided.
Great, most of the new aa is barely able to counter current top tier cas, and gaijin already giving more buff for cas?? come on, are gaijin that allergic to ground player enjoying their ground vehicle

again which would be fine if brimstones werent super unreliable at 10km or well anything past 7km, it just seems like they are making it harder and harder for the EFTs to do what the F-15E, Refale and Su-30SM can do with just a couple of button presses

Well, it would be weirder if you did.

Has to be the most WT thing imaginable. Add a cool new thing to the dev server but have it not being usable for the entire 2 dev servers due to a bug.

As an Xbox user myself, can confirm. No WT pre-orders for us.
Typhoon going to get anything?
SAL Brimstone 1s are not adequate for 12.0 let alone 13.0
At a bare minimum we need SAL Brimstone 2s but ideally also GPS+SAL Spear 3s as we have 0 form of standoff weapon.
Also. As the Soviets have the Paper KH-38MT. The Typhoon missile should also be added
