Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I believe the written plan is for the Mk. 1. But there is no way the german MoD would choose an inferior radar. So i think they’re going to be the mk.2 when they get delivered in 2030+ but i might be wrong.

It has yes. That’ll be Mk.1 Step 2. AFAIK there’s also no plans to roll out pirate for more airframes currently

i’ts over 5 years into the future, and they will get the T5. It wouldnt surprise me if the had the mk.2 and Pirate being a tranche 5 which is the newest of the newest also with the f35 type cockpit

You don’t know our MoD well enough then. We wanted to use AN/APG-65 for the EFT even. We also don’t have PIRATE for cost reasons as well. They cut some really odd corners.

Hell, we don’t even have a stockpile of spare parts anymore and have outsourced some of our maintenance to cut costs

Also, where kh59 for my SM, couldnt care less if the russians didnt fit it on theirs

“kh-59 is just a gimmick” -Smin 2025
It’s literally way better than all mavericks

didnt Smin say about anything added was a gimmick

Great, so now we have 2 HMMWV’s in game, yet neither of them have any anti tank weapon of any sorts, just awesome. (This still isn’t what we meant by HMMWV’s in game by the way)

Why ask for humvee tow when you can ask for JLTV with jav and M230?

wtf is HMMWV’s

I don’t see it honestly. Mk.2 would mean we’d have to service two different radars that will fill largely the same role. And unless the PIRATE upgrade turns out really good, I doubt our parliament will be willing to authorise the purchase, they need a lot of convincing for anything defence related.

But not for pensions, they’re nore than happy to spend billions without a hint of reforms for the failed system

Jokes aside seeing the SM2 just be in the FILES makes me happy

Does anyone here know why i’m not able to fire both BMPT cannons at once, and why they dont have apfsds like the bmp2m that has the same 30mm
