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

Eh, Penguin still cant lock onto ground vehicles, so unless they change it back it will be more of a niche weapon like it is on the F-5A(G)-40, hopefully gaijin decides to just give it universal weapons for ground so that it serves a purpose. Being stuck with just penguins as the only missile would make it immediately redundant for Ground which has been lacking an adequate CAS option for years

RB75 is the swedish designation, so why would a Norwegian F16 being carry RB75’s when it should be carrying AGM65’s using the swedish designation is just weird which is what i was pointing out.

That would be like me calling all the Aim 9L’s for other nations RB74. Its just not correct

Also we could get into semantics and assume that includes RB75T which is a swedish missile

It should be pretty good, basically take the Belgium F-16AM and add 4 AGM-119’s.

Does it have MAWs and the CM pods though?

I recon it uses the bol but not sure

I can use them, idk if norway brought any or not

Idk im not Norwegian lol, been to see some of their vehicles while visiting my father in Norway

I cant find anywhere if they actually fielded it but they had a contract for maws Sensors from Cassidian protect Norwegian F-16s - F-16.net

Best thing would be to combine Danish and Norwegian F16s together imo, or add a Danish F16 for air and Norwegian for ground imo

One of which is an EIGHTY (80)(!!!) dollar premium that Gaijin refuses to model the armor on correctly.

As if charging 80$ for rank 6 naval top tier just by the excuse of “But other top tiers cost that much too!!”, while at the same time justifying those others with “But 10$ per rank is fair!!” wasn’t already enough of a scam…

Naval has less vehicles per rank, and less ranks total, how did they get away with those prices? They’re literally overpriced compared to Gaijins own price system!

Specifically Singaporean Leopards? Or any Leopards?

But any ways … historically China had a Leopard 2-ish :

Why would they even need a Leopard 2 from another nation, when they themselves attempted at creating one, complete with 120mm smoothbore.

Honestly I do really like finally getting heli additions now (Mi-35P and now this are the first heli additions since the heli tree was added) and Kari looks like a really fun addition to 3.0 coastal.

The only real complaint from me this update is that Nagato is premium, they should’ve just chosen another ship like Atago/Takao (laid down but not finished Amagi class, functionally Amagi premium) instead of the only 8.3 candidate of the entire techtree and probably the best Japanese battleship for WT stype engagements (assuming they fix her armor layout).

I almost… nearly forgive the cost of top tier BBs (still too high, but at least it is actually top tier)

Its coastal that makes me rather mad

Fingers crossed for a Hawk 209

plz plz plz plz plz plz plz gaijin plzzzzzz

the dutch over here with zero f-16s or aircraft above 10.7 for that matter, even though we had a bigger f16 fleet than belgium that currently has 3 ingame. i really hope at some point gaijin adds a way to choose which operator nation you want when multiple countries share the same aircraft in the tree like how belgium and the netherlands share the f-16, or norway and denmark.

but i still hope gaijin adds some nice liveries for the norwegian f-16, since, like almost all european f-16 users, they have some really great schemes.

here are also a few dutch liveries that i hope will make their way into the game at some point.

Ive seen some of the Dutch camos they are very nice, i just wish gaijin would add subnation camos to vehicles if they share a vehicle so that both can be represented in the TT, the flag changes are nice but its still a long way from properly showing off subs imo.

coastal shouldnt be treated as anything other than a funny sidegrind or a means to cheese events
most of the vehicles barely qualify as filler and some trees dont even have anything resembling a reward for plowing through the drivel

but if i might offer some unsolicited advice, you can get the research bonus pretty easily by turbogrinding the very short (and not entirely awful) French tree
you probably got the free Amiens (if not, its currently less than a pint on the marketplace) that’ll help you get through the lower tiers, bit of a slog after that but nowhere near as bad as the other trees

fun little tidbit about that camo, it apparently still exists! at some point, the tail with the artwork was removed, and it’s now stored in the Nationaal Militair Museum.
