those F-16AM skins r cunny AF my god that’s pretty

[Thomas_Belgium]

So many beautiful Belgian camouflages, but no Dutch one for the F-104G?

[Atomorph]

The Italien one has also only 2 AIM 120.

[Bonrath]

exactly. dunno why that’s so difficult to fix or get right in the first place.
I mean, its logical for the US one, they gimp A-7s and then they gimp this. classic lol

[quartas121]

Don’t forget every nation except for Germany, UK Russia getting an F-16

[quartas121]

Does F-16C have maw?

[Shay]

Sweden isn’t.

[quartas121]

Forgot that one lol

[Ω梦幻列车长拉宾特]

So now we can look forward to these ❤ things that can be “MAGA” lmao , and maybe the latter will be the new Golden Eagle vehicle of US

Now there is a lack of new reconnaissance vehicles on the US ground, and the Bradley HSTV-L are all too old. This time, the US TT got the Harrier II, and in the future, it will get the F/A-18C and the following two light vehicles, which will become more competitive.

[_Renzo]

The M10 won’t be what will help the US at top tier. They already have enough light tanks in the form of the Abrams.

[Ω梦幻列车长拉宾特]

Joining as a light tank, which does not conflict, is placed behind the HSTV

[Firestarter]

@gszabi99

• Tornado F. Mk. 3 (AOP) – “black” – ZG757 / Demonstration camouflage with insignia of 43 Sqn. RAF

Most supreme camo, I mean look at it

[AblativeKitten]

They could though… Norwegian F-16 premium anyone? Can get the F-18 via Finland iirc too?

[_Renzo]

The problem that the US is facing at top tier is that they don’t have enough armor to contest cap zones.

The M10 looks great, but for in game purposes there is no real reason to ever use it. For scouting the HSTV-L is better due to it’s smaller profile and for a fire support light tank the Abrams pretty much fits the same role in game already.

[Shin_Kazama]

You’ve brought up an interesting topic: 4th Gen event aircraft

[Tristacomand]

@Ω梦幻列车长拉宾特

So now we can look forward to these

I think they would be very cool but I’m willing to bet they’re extremely underwhelming.

Not sure how people expect a glorified 105mm on tracks and a compressed 2S38 will actually perform ingame.

[Shay]

It shouldn’t, however.

[Deathmisser]

Since we are getting the camos now I say Thursday we get the update

[_Renzo]

The top 1 will be pretty underwhelming. The bottom one likely not as much.

A compressed 2S38 with actual gun depression and an APS (if we take the picture directly) seems like a pretty decent IFV.
