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

In the mean time the french are having an aneurysm about the DF105.
And the germans still are bedrudgingly waiting for a KF41 version

No, its literally a copy/paste, it looks like the only thing they did was translate the camo and cockpit

Fair enough :D

But my guess that they were waiting for AMRAAM seems to have been right though :P

I am going to do everything in my power to get it its APKWS and I think also its missing 2 amraams

Wait, it still is using FFARs?? That can’t be right either

God luck APWKS suck ass, we only got the small amount launcher. Tandem and proxy heads are missing in the game

Italy hasnt had any luck with that so far.

That’s all wrong too but Gaijin basically told me to F myself on the report.

The launchers modeled for the helicopters aren’t even the right branch. They’re navy launchers LOL (incompatible with Apaches)

Talking about italy, they stopped 2a8 orders because production wont be shifted to italy for certain parts.
Instead they are intrested in the KF51 maybe

Yeah it’s missing 2 AMRAAM’s for the inner pylons. Apparently it could also carry AIM-9 and AGM-122 on the outrigger pylon’s too but not too sure about it

I think that has been proven wrong or something. Harrier Gr7/9 can though, but they have a different pylon set up.

But the 4 AMRAAM I can beleive.

hey google how to tell if a document is still classified?

Huh? Can you send the article?

You got to wait until your house get’s raided and your pet it shot, then you will find out

Here the forum discussion he added an article latwr as well. Its from one of the main italy guys in the forum Italien Leopard 2A8 - #21 by Il_Signor_Regio

I’m pretty sure the manual people are saying proves it is classified but there are images of those pylons being used so Gaijin could use those instead. But there’s not much benefit to getting those pylons other than the obvious extra missiles. It will be perfectly fine without it but would be nice to see.

The 2 extra AMRAAM should definitely be added and would benefit both of the AV-8B’s

Yeah, though its BR placement might be affected.

Publicly available info says AIM-9 on stations 1-2, and 6-7

Also its missing Zunis. And A whole bunch of stuff is still using Mighty Mouse when it should be using Hydras (They are both 2.75 inch rockets)

If they add the missing AMRAAM’s then it might be fine at 12.3 but if they don’t it most likely would be alright going down to 12.0, same with the Shar FA.2. I think at 12.0 that thing would be alright at.

Yep, FA2 probably needs to be 12.0. Unless flames report for BOL + Twin rails goes through and we get that buff. Then it would be fine at 12.3.

AV-8B+ has the advantage of the Harrier II airframe and the ability to always have a gun. FA2 has to sacrifice that, with 2x Aim-9 and 4x AMRAAM + gun. Its in a very strong position. if it got 4x Aim-9 + 4x AMRAAM, i could actually see it move up.

So worth considering for balance.

but with no extra AMRAAM. yeah, 12.0 would suit it probably better
