Major Update “Tusk Force” - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Just abandon Chinese tree already. It’s bvvd’s garbage bag

I assume they’re saving the J-10C for next update. Though, it has appeared in various bogus leak lists for over a year now. However, as a ground focused player, nothing will get me as excited as when they’ll add AFT-10 to the game.

“This time maybe,”

anyone else Excited for X4 to Join the Weapon selection of the Best Multirole below 10.0?

nobody?

really nobody?

thats awesome, Mistel 2 and Bomb torpedoes next please! @TheGuyThatMakesTheWWIIOrdenanceForWarTunga

and how about MG213C, that would be a nice mod also

Imagine Imagine: Fw190 with Revolver cannons similar to M39 or ADEN, 2 AAMs and a Whole Bomber with a 3600kg HEAT warhead as glide bomb at 5.0

Iam o/.
especially since iam going to use the X4 almost exclusivly against ground targets in Tank RB with its 20kg warhead. (at least if its possible)

F-16I Sufa is missing so many things…

you want to use a 20kg warhead with a 8m Radio Proxy fuse that shouldn’t Fuse on ground or tanks, and No Impact fuse, against tanks?

instead of a Literal SC1000 and Twin MK103s?

4 years old and they still don’t have any rank 1-3 vehicles? 4 years and there is still a gap in the tank destroyer line from 6.7-8.3, 8.3-11.3? A gap in the AA line from 4.3-7.0, 9.7-12.0? No 8.3 lineup for the Giraf? 6.3-7.7 on medium tank line? No other vehicles at 7.3 for Hovet? No light tanks from 7.7-11.3? But for the first update of the year, we’ll add only a premium jet, then for the second update of the year, we’ll add only an SPAA (which was needed, but based on what I read, doesn’t seem to be all that good), and for the third update, we’ll add only a jet.

Won’t work
Just tried it in protection analysis, it’s “coded” (i guess ?) as an AA missiles so it’s A LOT less efficient at killing ground units
Hitting a PT-76B in the engine won’t kill crew while an AS-20 (with 9kg less of TNT equivalent) vaporizes the entire crew up to the driver
Same thing with the T-34, direct hit with a AS.20 kills it while the X-4 does quite literally nothing

as of now it uses the Aim 9B flight model so we cant test it properly yet.
And protection analysis is always a bit yanky.

The flight model isn’t the problem, it’s the warhead
Dunno if the statcard is accurate to what the warhead actually is, though, and if it’s not just an AIM-9B warhead too

is it’s 8m Audio activated fuse modelled?

it should only fuse if it’s within 8m of a Star engine

It’s not mentionned on the statcard
Haven’t noticed a proximity fuze either on the limited amount of testing i’ve done with friends

then that’s still an AiM-9B model entirely, warhead included

it shouldn’t have an Impact fuse either

we’ll have to see how it is when it gets the real model lazer jn dev

we need to see if they actually go with a proxy fuze since in RL it was tuned to the B17 engines or if it will have just an impact fuze like the Aim 4s.

we need to wait till it gets its FM.

but i would assume that we will be able to use them against ground targets.

eeh i feel like the german SC 1000 bombs have failed me alot since the last time i used them and the twin mk 103 are good for sure but if i can use 2 meme mclos guided missiles against tanks then iam going to.

if it gets an Impact fuse I’ll report that because it never had an Impact fuse

unlike AiM-4s which never had a Proxy fuse

I’ll do my best to make sure in only fuses to engines also because that doesn’t lower it’s A-A abilities at this BR but it absolutely is a good reason to keep the aircraft in it’s BR range

well arguing over the potential uses of the X4 at this point isnt going anywhere since we still dont know how they will be modeld in the end.

so we can now only wait until they get updated and resume testing.

thank god they haven’t. It at least made the Israel grind a bit more bearable.

If given a proximity fuse it might end up modelled as either the AA.20s or the Rb05 and Vikhrs. The AA.20s fuses on the ground while the Rb05 and the Vikhrs have an impact fuse

It does actually have a proximity fuze, according to the missile spreadsheet
9m proxy
Said proxy range isn’t a copy-paste from the 9B
