Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

might be some kinda balancing for russia at least, russia having the best Sams in game and some of the longest range stand off weapons, where nato has far better pods to give them a chance to spot targets in the few seconds they have before they have to go defensive due to a pansir

Churchill Mk III hull at 2.7.

The thing will be nigh unkillable but needs to be next to anything to kill it.

i dont really need it, just asking cause it got thermals

however, you cant stabilise the sight currently, and i dunno if thats a bug, because if it isnt, then it will need it

no idea I would assume it has a stabiliser if not them thats a weird ass russian pod lol

Drive from cap to cap, clearing thé way. Just hope you don’t meet a 76mm M10 or anyone with a brain to shoot at your forehead.

I highly doubt Bison will get R-77s…

Same, but it carried them and when AIM-9B’s were first added they also added premiums with them so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibilities.

I mean the would require a partial up tier(and there is plenty threats there). As those are 3.3.

But like a said “nigh unlikable” well most things won’t be able to kill you but there is a handful that can.

AIM-9B =/= R-77
One is VERY dumb heat seeking missile and other is kind of an advanced active radar homing missile

R-77 will most likely (actually fairly certain) raise BR of Bison to 12.3 or even 12.7

EDIT: Also the first 9B/R-3S equipped jets didn’t show up until F-4C was a thing, at least that is the case for MiG-17AS. First jet premiums were that red Meteor, Sabre Skyblazers and MiG-15bis ISH

Lies, Germany too only has one Thermal pod on a Striker

Yeah they aren’t the same. I’m also not saying it’s a guarantee. Just saying the possibility is out there.
They were already mined as unused (unfinished) load out and modification so somewhere at Gaijin was/is thinking about it.

AFAIK there are also loadouts with R-73 for first MiG-29S but it doesn’t get them, so…
I dunno.

EDIT: Forgot important bit…

Now that u mention it lol xD

Again, not saying it’s a guarantee. Just a possibility.

R-73s were available on earlier MiG-29s indeed. However following the complaints gaijin did do the smart move and make them no longer available for players. I guess its just easier to hide them than delete them smh.

When is the update going live again?

expecting it personally Tuesday the 11th.

That, or this friday. I am more inclined to Tuesday, believing a second dev though, the CV9035DK and T-80UE-1 are yet to be completed, there should be a lower tier pre-order for French coastal besides the VLT too.

When did that ever stop gajin from implementing zheir update lol. Looking back at the atrocious state of the rank 8 ground introduction
