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

Yeah AGM-142 could come to lots of stuff

let’s try to get rid of AIM-9L research medication on the Block II Super Hornet, for crying out loud Community Bug Reporting System

I dont see the point. All it does is make the mods at rank 1 cost more individually.

yes but X amount of rp is going to the 9L research modification when it could go somewhere else. Say you unlock 9L’s are you gonna trade 6 or whatever 9L’s for the default 2x9M & 2x120C5? and you’re gonna have to research the 9L to ge the 7P, 9M and 120B/C. Instead of just researching one tier I modification like chaff/flare, you have to research the 9L and chaff/flare.

Thats fair i suppose, but it also means that flare/chaff will be more expensive to research in the first place. At this rank its probably going to be a 2-3k rp difference.

yes but you would still be researching more RP worth of mods in Tier I if you had to research 9L and Chaff/Flare versus if you just had to research chaff/flare.

Hmm… whether they can be mounted on the outer of the 3 is unknown and I would be semi on the fence with that.

Probably at most 16, as there is mockups of SPICE-250 ER on the middle pylon for the Typhoon EK

But 8x Spice-250 is fine for now, though maybe SAL Brimstone 2s or GNSS Spear-3s on the other pylons would be useful

Idk. Those first few games without chaff are absolutely brutal at top tier. you’re basically food. Id rather have to research more in the long run than have to grind more for chaff in the beginning.

I saw that. talios is new.

Sips tea innocently when spading any Tornado IDS

But yeah, some stock chaff is probably overdue these days

yeah exactly, so now you can research chaff/flare then move on to Tier II mods, getting closer to AIM-120 mod, making you more effective

Wait the new elf girls in the silly upcoming event ARE FROM GRØNLAND!!?? the only time ill be able to hear another nordic language is freaking Grønland before Danish in warthunder FML

HEY! I noticed that on the sle. 1200 stock chaff.

Gotta love BOZ pods :D

  • JAS 39E:
    • countermeasures: 80x Split large countermeasures + 12x Large flare-only countermeasures → 80x Split large countermeasures
    • new loadout(s): 16x 500 lb GBU-49(V)1/B + 1x Infrared Tracker + 1x LITENING III
    • loadout changes: 4x RB 99 → 7x RB 99
    • custom loadout changes:
      • slots 2, 3, 6, 7 changed: added 1x 500 lb GBU-49(V)1/B option: has to be equipped together with: 1x LITENING III on slot 5
      • slot 4 changed: added 3x RB 99 option

Apparently 11 RB99, but not on the dev?

indeed. arent the pods on the d viggen boz?

AJS37, not the Viggen D, those are BOL

no

the gripen cant even mount 11 missiles

Unless wingtip AMRAAM (which there is some debate about) + digital renders from SAAB of dual AMRAAM on the outer underwing pylon.

but those are would highly doubt being added
