It would be a really funky addition to the Hali tree for the USA. It would work most people who will play it would be for the desert storm vibe but Osprey is very large and a big target.
True, although it does have a full CM suite with Chaff and Flare dispensers, MAWS, DIRCM so it can have some defence against SPAA. It also gets the Intrepid Tiger II ECM system so if/when we do see EW in-game it could make use of that.
Normally Intrepid Tiger is an external pod the USMC uses on their AV-8B+, F/A-18A+/C/D, KC-130J, and UH-1Y but they integrated the system internally for the MV-22 since it lacks wing hardpoints necessary for it.

To be fair, we’ve got entire vehicles that didn’t even see production in the game so there really is no reason the tested Osprey weapons shouldn’t be added.

I think it should it would be funky and huge
will they also add a random chance for the gearbox to eat itself?

Naw cus then they would have to do it with every helicopter. Osprey has a bad reputation but just about every helicopter suffered from mechanical failures.
Came across a video of a live fire test of the APKWS rockets from the MV-22B.
Your gearbox though could be modelled to suck at taking any battle damage. Gearbox turns minion yellow and it’s a down hill from there.
any new news about this
Nothing. I don’t even think we got a helicopter this update.
Apparently Osprey is going to be the helicopter for the Trump Class Battleship (got atomic reactor now).
They passed the mv-22 in a different post for people who wanna take a look here is the link

Hope has been regained for the MV-22B to be added. I am surprised though that we may see it come from Nuclear Escalation rather than Infantry.

Yeah those all would be great additions.
Actually I have got a bunch of suggestions already made up and waiting for cargo aircraft to be added to submit them.

I agree it would an interesting thing but what for what use would it be in warthunder and the MV-22B ospreys weapons are used to defend it’s self please correct me if I’m wrong
The Remote Guardian Interim Defensive Weapon System is meant as a defensive weapon but mostly against enemy infantry.
But the APKWS/Hydra rockets and AGM-176 Griffin missiles that were trialed were meant for offensive attacks.
But it’s main use would be for transport, having the ability to land almost anywhere but fly faster than other helicopters, would work well with the cargo mission objectives BVV_d mentioned for NE but also for infantry transport in the infantry mode.

Ah thanks for correcting me cousin flys an osprey in the marines
I’ve only known them to be transport ospreys but yeah they’d be good to possibly use in infantry
