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

The IVEWS test airframe is 98-0004, which appears to be a Block 50 CJ/CM since it frequently carried HTS in photos before:

2025 - with IVEWS installed, and Litening
2022 - with HTS and Sniper
2012 - with HTS, Sniper, ALQ-131, and Have Glass V
2006 - with port-side HTS, and Sniper
2002 - with the original starboard-side HTS, HARM itself, and ALQ-184,

Not seen it with ALE-50, but there are other airframes at 85th TES that do

That’s fair, I’m just saying that those stats likely aren’t the final ones

And if the C-5s devserver history is anything to go by, the stats of the 120D could still change a lot

Whether it’s a change for the better or for worse remains to be seen lol

true i hope they at least turn on the ability for the datalink to reconnect that change alone would make it a good missile for WT

@Smin1080p_WT
Eithan IFV will be an IFLD operator (a version of IF that cannot intercept kinetics), or an IFLK (that can)?

That would definitely off-set the limited radar of the F-16 lol

If I was more optimistic, I’d consider the possibility of Gaijin giving the 120D the improvements that the C-5 already should have had, but their modeling of missiles always seems a bit random

There is something I haven’t noticed before, it seems Ro.43 Italian biplane from vessels can be accessed in air tech tree.

Sadly all the destroyers were low tier, no County class for UK yet.

I think that’s just a dev account thing

Yup. I’ve seen HTS with sniper and all of that. AFAIK or have seen none of the SEAD squadrons actually have Viper EW Suite specifically integrated though is what I was getting at compared to the AESA, etc.

The CM’s/CJ’s were a different program than POBIT or CCIP. Appreciate you taking the time to find that. Pretty sure all the CJ/CM’s that were previously in Japan are with the test wing now.

I wonder how ill survive the weekend, with all of the build up excitement.

Why did the new Centauro get spall liner when none of the Boxer family got its spall liner?

New Pantsir because the current Buk did not meet expectations and is the weakest top tier SAM according to server stats.

My brother in Christ the EldE 98 exists which is way worse…

Ah, yes. I’ve just checked previous update stream, it’s already been there.

For real, this is pretty sad

To be fair, you should be comparing the Buk to the NASAMS, but yeah, this reasoning seems rather silly

Nice to see the 40mm armed Me-210Ca-1, bit disappointing that it only has 12 rounds, I hoped for more

It should use LD, as thats what it used irl.

So my beloved Black Night won’t have a competitor yet ^__^

Same with Dragoon as well, no spall liners. I don’t even remember seeing an LWS, which I thought was just part of the MCT-30 system. No airburst as well. Time will tell.
