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

If they are anything short of flying T-800’s the F-16C PoBIT is done for at top tier

The base 120Ds are kinematically identical to the 120C-5s, so unless they buff the seeker (which the 120C-5 already should have but gaijin nerfed it in dev server to be the same as 120A/B) and even then, only 6 of them don’t cut it when you’re facing Su-30s with 14 missiles, which 12 of those can be fox 3s, double your count, yeah right

if it dose end up being shit. They should give it the triple rack amraams.

Same pod as seen on the F-18F iirc?

also hope they add the AN/AAR-60 MILDS

That thing shouldn’t be any higher than 14.0, and even 14.0 is constant uptier hell to 14.7, the F-15EX would’ve made a whole lot more sense to help USA be competitive in the current meta, would it be the best jet in the game? No but sure as hell way more meta than this

Japan has a FnF helicopter and a lot more stuff with flares and missiles with more than 3.75km with actual penetration, I don’t see the comparison outside of the UH-1B which you can skip via ground research. Everything else is actually solid.

That is unless you have no idea what the HKP’s use which would explain your comment

The Hornet’s pod has the same sensor, but the pod itself is a modified drop tank.

The LEGION pod on the F-16 and F-15 is an actual pod like a SNIPER or LANTIRN. Smin denied Legion for the F-15 so I don’t think Legion is coming

Yeah what are they gonna add to sweden? Some Qatari Apache with FnF? Lol

Well you’re luckier than I am then because I sure as hell get uptiers 80% of the time

yea prob comes down to luck, been having good matches w it

Surely the mockup Ka-52 can be given

Or give them the Apache Guardian just because someone somewhere in Sweden happened to mention its existence

Real

Lwk though I can find absolutely nothing about something Sweden could get. I think there was one Scandinavian country which had Hellfires on their helis, but that’s the closest thing.

@quartas121 I told you to wait until the trailer before claiming that the “US suffers from being neglected” and look a new shiny F-16 for you

I know what the HKPs use

Japans tree is better, but still incredibly rough

Their AH-1s don’t get CMs either (except for the premium ones), the AH-1E has the same ATGMs as the HKP9A and the AH-1S has the same ATGMs as the HKP9A (FC), four more tho

Outside of sarcasm no, had gaijin bothered to spend any amount of time researching Nordic helicopters we could have had a actual solid prem helicopter instead of the MI-28.

As for toptier it’s not new for gaijin to give a vehicle a nation didn’t use equipment they never had. SAAF Gripen was given MS20 modifications so what’s to stop gaijin from adding our MH-60 especially now that we have the same rails which can mount JAGM.

as550c2-fennec-p-287

And it’s going to get touched in top tier, like everyone else has said. Its a tone deaf addition that solves nothing balance wise for US top tier

No we just bought the rails to use Hellfire which can also mount JAGM which fulfills gaijin own rule on equipment.
