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

You’d be better if they added the Niki and the VL Humu at 2.3, super armor T50 with more armor than a 4.0 T34 (same turret weakness on the front) god i want the Niki

Whilst i can maybe see the issue of countermeasures being as a positive but thats only one. Whilst ground ordinance personally can be moved up for GRB in rating lol, it didnt have to be moved up for air to air. Or actually vice versa the squadron F-16 could have been lowered or remain for its GRB rating because thats where it will usually matter for its worser ordinance wise, whilst being moved up for Air RB. Like you guys do take into consideration how a jet performs statistically wise. This should be really eye opening seeing 6x Irccm missiles being too good. You know that exactly because thats what led to gripen quite frankly dominating everything back during its release. Even the su27s with multiple ERs couldnt handle that.

Tbf thats the same logic that has the F35 at 10.3 while the XS is also 10.3

F35 WDNS has a lot of missing CM but for now it has 24 flares and 44 chaff, with 2 missiles and is the heaviest Draken and the only one with a RWR but no radar. Also 180 rounds and two guns.

J35XS has 12 flares or chaff but only 12 CM total and 6 missiles, but has IRST and radar. No RWR and has one cannon with 140 rounds.

J35XS - 8140kg
F35 - 8390kg

Also can we please get the F 35 WDNS to a proper BR in ground its crazy its 10.7 when the British ohantoms can have PD, skyflash, and the samw level of bombs and more flares at the same BR or the Tornado at 10.0 with more CM’s and 2x 9Ls

(I get other nations have a skill issue but 10.7 it crazy lmao)

There are separate BR’s for ground and air battles, why does the expanded air-to-ground arsenal change air realistic BR? Countermeasure pods take up valuable missile pylons and are an unpopular pick. But even with that aside, it gets 4 superior missiles, which is more than a fair trade-off for losing the ability to bring countermeasure pods. In my opinion, these two aircraft should be at the same BR. Whether that’s 13.0 or 12.7 is, of course, up for debate.

If u want to use the Bol pods u have to give up A2A missiles.

The 16A ocu Is literally the same plane as the 16A but 12.7 with even better missiles

I saw the recent clarification that helicopters won’t be getting LOAL(F&F) missiles anytime soon—totally get the balance concerns there, especially with top-tier heli spam.
But what about ground vehicles? Specifically, the Spike missiles on platforms like the Puma or other Spike-equipped IFVs ?

In all fairness you could bolt the skin mount AN/ALE-40s onto anything…

With those arguments the French F-8 could get CMs because the American ones had it.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT
Can you mayby tell me what the purpose of the ITOW x2 modification on the Lahatut is?
We need to unlock the TOW modification to get it wich makes zero sense since everyone will be taking the ITOW x4 instead, it doesnt grand any SP reduction in a match to spawn the Heli with it and the only thing where it would make sense is to get them stock for easier grind (but they dont come stock).

Is this just some oversight and they are supposed to be available stock?

funnily gaijin tried to give the mi-28 propper blindspots but fell victim to their own spaghetti code and mirrored the LDIRCM zone

i smell a opertunity for a shameless plug

there is just another slight issue with the loadout of the 12.7 Mig-29’s and that is the fact that they were incapeable of carrying the r-27er

meh, guess the chally buff is cool. wouldve liked to see the kh59 on other planes by now

This model is Kazach so the Soviets surely

@Staliminium i’d see it best tested on a challenger street fighter as 1 missile at a time is the least over powered you can get for a loal, or anything with one missile launch at a time system

For Brimstones i totaly agree with you, you gave such a good idea.

I should have written my post better, i meant the LOAL feature of some of the Spike vehicle mounted missiles we have already in the game.

Quoted from Wiki: Some variants can make a top attack through a “fire, observe and update” method (essentially lock-on after launch); the operator tracking the target, or switching to another target, optically through the trailing fiber-optic wire (or RF link in the case of the vehicle-mounted, long-range NLOS variant) while the missile is climbing to altitude after launch

Basicly all of those armed with the Spike-LR II

Sorry if this is asked and answered but I haven’t been in the discussion this update. Just wondering is there a hope for any British naval this update? Haven’t seen any mentioned anywhere. Thanks.

@Smin1080p_WT while we can see that many nations are getting new helis with an Insane weapon mix, may I ask how high the priority for the Outer PARS pylons is for the Poor Tiger UHT?

Should I buy cope till next year or might I only need cope till Decenber?

Or do the Devs agree with us player that the UHT is an Deadhorse and we can exspect an mew Heli (H145M) Cope :)
