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

Honestly its been the opposite plus my biggest problem is the velocity and muzzle flash plus low firerate on the 40mm, the swedish ones specifically just feels terrible compared to the duster and such. Besides the 50 cal trucks are a unique SPAA type for sweden and would give a different flavor of SPAA for those like myself who dislike the 40mm

One underrated feature of the 40mm SPAAs is reach IMO. You can stretch out your hand and swat any CAS that is circling outside the immediate battle zone. Provided you know the gun well enough to give correct lead of course

But ideally a nation should have close range options aswell

I keep the B239 for that role lol. About the only good Fighter on sweden for a lot of BR’s

Though I agree on the muzzle flash, the rest i have to oppose. I feel as if this line of thinking is the same reason the subtrees are populated with mainly meta copy pastes. Different trees have different vehicles with different playstyles, not every tree needs nor should have a direct equivalent to each other, makes things boring it does.

Close range is where the 40mm’s shine in game though, easy hunting when low flying, especially when they attempt a head on.

My biggest gripe is the velocity, ammo, and muzzle, i know most of them can be fixed and there have been bug reports for years on them, at this point its easier to suggest something that already exists weapon wise than hope that the much wanted fixes come to pass.

@Abyss_Revenant sorry for a mid-night ping but are they actually accept it as a suggestion? We might have a chance to see an actual Golden Eagle instead of frankenplane.

Anyone wanna place bets on what they think Sweden and Jaoan will get as both were said to still have something in the works.

Japan gets a lowtier thingy and the AH64E, sweden? wouldnt be surprised if its something worthless

As Midakol said. The Japan thing is probably the AH-64E. A top tier FnF heli for a nation that didnt have one previously.

Sweden…

  • Hawk?
  • Gripen NG?
  • Coastal?

I dont know enough about Swedish ground to spitball ideas for it.

Idk i think apollo had it right, if it was something like a gripen it would’ve been in the trailer, so it’ll be here when we get the next EFT and rafale so probably a copy and paste vehicle

What hawk can they even get?

If I had to guess: Indonesian or Malaysian Hawk 200

Finland operated the Mk.51, Mk.51A, & ex-swiss Mk.66

Oh god swiss one lol

So does China have a new top AA?

Swedish rbs 15?😉 <3

NG was the first variant with normal mfds the E got the wide MFD thats the diff
