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

Don’t the 18C and EX both carry 12? And for super hornet, the extra 2 have to be 9X right?

Yeah i shouldve clarified total missiles, they both carry 12 arh missiles but the fa18e gets 2 more sidewinders on the wingtips for total of 14 missiles, same as su-35 and 2 more than the f-15 advanced eagles

yikes, that doesnt inspire hope in this update, got a feeling its gonna be a very boring update

Good to know you aren’t the average US main

I mean if gaijin really cared about if we should have gotten AESA on top preforming jets we would have gotten an earlier Rafale

Debatable, but the AMRAAM needs it’s AOA un-nerfed again, it’s not the dominant ARH anymore

The issue is, I’m pretty sure they only take 9X on the wingtips so that means it’ll be useless ingame, since they aren’t adding 9X

it definitely can (shaded means that it’s been demonstrated already)

My bad, I thought it meant it wasn’t possible

This is what I had in mind, Gaijin just blew their load this year on all the hype vehicles. There’s not much they could add in a month or two that would be that exciting, the focus this year was SPAA.

AESA Typhoon? Some cold-war curiosities? Nothing that exciting I can think of, I wish they would spend an entire update on just fixing existing bugs and adding new mechanics and bigger maps to the game instead.

Yes I know. I am joking. I asked them at least 3 times about it.

Can’t wait. It’s the only thing I was waiting for before I spend 500 bucks on naval and finally play it.

Unrealistic wish. Ask for a copy-paste top tier jet instead.
Maybe an Su-30 in green or something like that.

That’s because even if you can think of something unique they’re going to paywall it or not put it in.

For me, wait new APFSDS for 7 main battle tanks top tier. USAF Night fighter piston engine in the early cold war, USAF aircraft (BR 7.3) and lightweight aircraft (BR 6.0 ~ 6.3) for great britain tech tree

Block II ~ III fitted AESA radar

But first Block retain AN/APG-73 radar like legacy hornet

Gripen NG similar to Gripen C/D (MS19 upgrade) but fitted AESA radar

Quick question: Who again said, that the Hawk couldn’t have a radar because it has a pitot tube at the tip of its nose-cone? Ever saw the Gripen? The pitot tube seems to be no hindrance for a radar.

I don’t know, I’ve really lost all hope that Gaijin will fix the GFs, so the surprise will be some silly new vehicles (many premium ones), the correction of some insignificant bugs, and little else. The only things I’m hoping for, and which have already been announced, are the increased engine power of the Challenger 2, the (finally) adjustment of the Scimitar’s transmission, and the (realistic) reduction of the T-64A’s armor (when it should be on all tanks with textolite).

GFs?

Ground Forces.

Depends on the Gripen NG model, some NG’s are glorified C’s other are more like E models as they have the bigger size and basically only lack the EW kit

Early Gripen NG would be so DOA its not even funny, Sweden has needed the late NG for months now, almost a year

is there a picture comparing the size of the Gripen E to the Gripen C like this one:
