Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Is there no way to give it a Aim-7M and move it up? Because at 12.7 with that many IRCCM missiles is a struggle for other jets at a lower BR.

Then why not give it the same treatment as the F-5C and give it stuff to improve it, that never had flares but it was added to improve it. The Harrier GR.1 has missiles that were only put on a prototype Harrier two seater. So there is historical precedent to give stuff that was intended but not actually fitted.

Alright that’s good to hear at least, thanks for the answer!

The F-5C flares were possible to fit to any F-5A family member as part of the upgrade program. Harrier received SRAAMs because again, they were designed to fit to aircraft systems. Harrier T.52 was the company demonstrator for many programs regarding GR.1 / GR.3. So there is no compatibility issue there.

If something is technically possible, then its open to consideration. The same would be true of Sniper. If there was evidence something was tested or technically possible, it would be open to consideration.

This variant didn’t have them. But if it is performing too well at its current BR, that would show at the next BR review.

@Smin1080p_WT Since the Oplot changed from P to M now, could we see an actual P in the near future perhaps with the official Pakistan tree ?

We dont plan anther one in the near future, thats for sure. Though as Ive already said, a suggestion topic is always welcome if people wish to see one and make a topic.

the data and statistics are useless in this game because the devs does not know how to balance the vehicles properly and if am wrong with this we shouldnt be seeing the rafale having a %68 almost %70 of win rate in ARB (one if the highest WR of all time in a top tier vehicle) meanwhile everything else below the rafale keeps getting claped in the cheeks, i still remember the time when the KFIR C7 have a good winrate and a bad overall performance due to not having radar, low CM quantity and 9G when almost everybody had radar, radar missiles and all aspect missiles, the devs thought that the Kfir was in a really good position due to its winrate because at that time the US teams were stomping the red team and we know that israel gets paired with us teams well this makes the plane easier to use when you have good teams but this does not mean that the aircraft itself is performing well this is why the Python-3 got denied for such a long time for the KFIR C7. PS: the average player knows how to use an IR missile is not that difficult to use an R-73, this is not a valid excuse if a player cant use an IR missile such as the R-73 that its even easier and more effective than an R-60 making it more enjoyable its because it dont have a single neuron active in the brain smin.

Okay to switch off that topic is there any chance we will see the F-4 getting the SUU-11/A gunpods added? They would be frankly a gimick, but tell me it would not be fun to run a full tracer belt with no new cannon mod

Also any info on the tech tree A-6 SWIP, it was mentioned that a tech tree A-6 would come, it has been nearly 3 years now, with no real mention of it.

Alright can you answer another question? If possible, why is that squadron F-16 at a lower BR than a techtree version F-16 with no magic 2s? F-16A At 13.0. Both within the french tree. It has no Fox1s either

Feel free to make a report if there isn’t already one. It can for sure be passed as a suggestion.

We dont have any news or plans to speak of for this currently.

Would be nice to have that tech tree pretty soon, I don’t know if I can call subs subs now since I can do this.

i thought gaijin didn’t do refunds?

They made an exception with me : P

Among other things, this one gains additional countermeasure pylons and has an expanded air-to-ground arsenal too.

You can call them whatever you wish too. They are still what they are before the flag cosmetic change. Nothing has changed there.

Sad to hear no news on the A-6, feels like it has been forgotten. By report do you mean on the bug report site? Community Bug Reporting System found a report on it that was accepted 1 year ago

Has there been any internal development about the ROC flag? Are we getting a national flag to use in the customization feature before the update goes live?

Yeah just my autism is having a midlife crisis on the logic of this new feature lol

But as I said earlier if I have my pure Finnish 1.7 line up and have the tech tree set to Finland will it be class as the Finnish tree ? Since the game thinks I’m playing as Finland in a research tree sense.

Something tanks or submarines is my guess.
