They genuinely cooked with this level of ragebait, I am impressed Gaijin. US mains in shambles right now.

It’s not a POBIT aircraft. Part of a separate program for F-16CJ aircraft that gave it AESA among other things.

If you’d like to know more I explained further higher up in this thread.

Oh I agree, and imo it shouldn’t happen. I enjoy actually playing tanks too much to want such a CAS loadout for any nation.

Might be that the A/B are stock perhaps? Or are unlocked together with the C modification? There are other cases of a modification unlocking more than one variant of a munition (not sure about if there are any such cases with homing A2A missiles though).

Dev is also as always a work in progress, things can and do change before the update is live, the dev server isn’t even live yet. Imo there is no point in getting upset about things that aren’t even confirmed to be as intended yet.

My friend there is absolute 0 chance devs know that unless community reported.

Furthermore, the aircraft can come with PoBIT upgrades even though it did not have them in real life, for example Mirage 2000-5F or F-5C.

Or just give the Block 70. As if it is too advanced for the game. Or Block 60.

Another win for Russia

I don’t know of any case in-game where unlocking one modification of a missile provides you with more than 1 variant of said missile.

HOBS doesn’t have to mean close range. HOBS just means I can notch and fire the missile at a medium range target knowing it will track.

This is the correct answer, which takes some nuance that I think a lot of WT players lack

For what it’s worth, Gaijin seems to be pushing the J-15T, F/A-18F RAAF, and F-16 Block 52 as the headliners, as they’re the first new rank IX aircraft. The IFVs seem to be the headlining ground vehicles.

It’s the F-15I+ program to upgrade the Ra’am, in tandem with the F-15IA. It’s an attempt not just to mount a radar, but to bring them all to the IA standard. A similar thing was done for Saudi Arabia with their F-15S being upgraded to their F-15SA being dubbed F-15S+

Personally I am more interested in the GBT 155 and was kinda hoping for the Abbot over AS 90 lol.

Abbot would be a relatively unique SPG in that it would be able to throw HESH at people, but would likely require gaijin to do more tweaking to helping HESH actually you know… not be bad.

though it will ofc join my artillery lineup.

AVRE, GBT 155, G6, M109, AS-90 and ofc, strikemaster for fun too.

Can’t make any reports until dev is live so I’m doing the best I can here for now.

Just trying to spread awareness of what it is supposed to be more than anything right now until we reach that point where it’s possible to report stuff.

Depends on if it gets DL even when active and becomes a bugger to notch

But C5s can still be buffed

The issue with AMRAAM imo, is that they are too easy to defeat both kinematically and via notching

Played a game in the AVRE today, hit the turret of a M4/T26, only breached. Hit the cheek of an IS-2, oranged 2 crew. HESH just doesn’t over pressure sometimes and it makes absolutely zero sense, especially considering the AVRE’s shell is the equivalent of a 50lb bomb smacking your turret at about 250 m/s. I don’t know if there is some physics lesson I missed, or if it was Gaijin that missed it.

Do your really think they will? How long has the Mavs been under preforming?

Yeah…

What’s wrong with Mavericks?

They are shorted on range and heavily. So unless something has changed which I haven’t read anything on the change logs about them they are under preforming.
