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

Fancy glide bomb

It’s ridiculous that there are no French tanks or aircraft for this update. At least could have worked on vehicles that’d make the game play more interesting, like the followings:

Amx-30 Javelot

VBC-90

ERC-90


CV-9035 with Spikes

and so on!

Ah, did a quick google, so an upgraded GBU39/B with different options for seeker heads?

Its nice to finally get one, and i’ll probably pick at it , but I kind hate that BR due to the shockingly bad state of APDS, so wont get played much.

Was hoping for ALARM and a County-Class destroyer. Instead we got a C&P F-18 and a filler coastal boat that is basically what we’ve already got in about 10 different variants already

AFAIK the GBU-53 has an All-In-One seeker head, so IIR, mmW and SAL in one seeker and all at the same time.

Basically Spice-250 until MMW is added, but the F-15E can carry something like 28 of them which Im somehow doubting would actually happen

yeah, at least if they won’t give F15SG into Israel they should give Rafale tbh

Adds Aim-120D to the F-16I and moves it to 14.3

Lets face it, thats definetly a gaijin move :P

f16i has suck radar, it is not aesa

Oh wow, yeah that might be a bit to advanced for WT at the moment, especially since it seems like it can do internal datafusion between its own seeker modes to get the best of all of them at the same time. Though adding it with only IR/Laser seeker might be reasonable if it’s selectable before launch (in the same way like VT HE shells that can select proxy or impact fuse before firing).

Gaijin can be a bit detached sometimes and what they say isn’t always how it will turn out. It’s very much possible that they actually believe this will be a significant upgrade, while it could end up hardly making a difference.

Keep in mind they still seem to think that 120C-5 are a flat out upgrade over the 120A/B.

Real question

If the Me-210’s are coming this patch. Is the existing Me-410’s are getting a rework, possibly new secondary armaments and/or custom loadouts?

Israel still not having a top tier spaa:
And no, just because gaijin put the SPYDER at 12.7 it doesn’t mean that it should be there

considering how absolutely broken the Gripen E was on launch with 16 SPICE-250s yeah no way they add 28 to the F-15E

completely new weapon, different company, it is just the next generation of small diameter bombs

they should add a way for the different seeker modes (except MMW) to be controlled in flight

Yup. Though it does mean that we dont need to worry about 18x FnF Brimstones on the Tornado/Typhoon

Could thay add a variant of brimstone only for gnss with a glide kit ?

Kinda want GBU39 equivalent.

SPEAR-3 is pretty much that but has a rocket motor, they did also give the AESA Typhoons SPICE-250 which defiantly helps
