Yeah okay 😂 Gaijin clearly wants a repeat of F-14D
Surely that 2 will become a 3 in 6 minutes…
Surely…

A rafale with 530Ds and magic 2s would be a hilarious 13.7
we will all refresh in 6 mins to mini DoS YouTube /s

All roads lead to trailer on Thursday evening
Honestly not every vehicle under the sun should get this, only a select few that really need it or where it would create unique historically accurate configurations (like PL-8B and PL-11 only J-10A at 12.7 with stock PL-12 removed)

Hello
Whilst the F-14D is a great premium for air combat, the F/A-18D is a more multirole focused platform more suitable for Nuclear Escalation. It provides a counterpart to the Su-30MKK and MK2 for the US that offers Blue team players something similar in role and capabilities, whilst taking nothing away from the US air tree itself.
F/A-18s typically have some of the widest air-to-ground ordinance choices over the F-16 and 15 families. Making it a better choice for those looking for an NE premium.

Dumb question, but what’s the longest an update’s teaser trailer been? 5-6 mins? As in the video length.
EDIT: Just checked, a little over 3 mins (Apex Predator)

The F-15C and F-16C could enjoy this. Take them with sparrows only to larp ODS since the AMRAAM wasn’t in service yet
Malaysian twin seater is 14.0 but has AIM-120C-5s. US one might only have AIM-120Bs since they’re explicitly mentioned as being 120B in the devblog
Other than that, the only difference is targeting pods, where the US one can carry an extra AMRAAM with a pod because it’s Litening on the centreline rather than ATFLIR

I think the option to limit your own CAS capabilities to reduce the BRs of your planes/helis in GRB is the more important thing here

obv they will be limited by gaijin but imagine a like 13.0 or 13.3 super hornet with 12 Aim-9M and a mission
Ah true. Well that would need to be changed in some way I guess, otherwise it restricts many planes, for example the ADF could go to 12.7 without amraams
Well the F-14D sold excellently well early on, considering how top tier was flooded with them. They could just do the same, push a F-22 premium first and then a tech tree one quickly after. But that won’t happen because they still have some sort of standards
Ka-52 to 11.3 with atakas 🥹
Early Access in WT lmao
Would also be cool to see the F-15E with 7M and 9M only at 13.0, since the F-15E did not have the AMRAAM for quite a while and mostly operated without it before the 2000’s.

AH-64E to 12.7 with hellfires only
Unfortunately 530D is probably not possible. However, an early Rafale with PESA, no HMD and only 6 missiles could be at 14.3 like the Mirage 2000-5F, which would be really cool
Makes for a seperate jet really
Of course another big one here is the F-16 ADF, it would be fantastic to have the option to play the older 12.7 configuration without having the F-16AJ.
