Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

probably in this year-end patch there will be the F-18 Super Hornet, JAS 39 Gripen and the Su-27.

Well i hope they not gonna forget other nation that can have “similar” planes…

But doubt for F-18

this seems as the most reallistic option as of rn tbh

XF-2 Early

I wonder it might be MiG-29SMT (9-17) or MiG-29SM (9-13SM) or MiG-29M2 (9-67) ?

They are looking at the Esports christmas logo thingy and assuming it means something. It appears shows a super hornet

Yea the super hornet if too much the Hornets just slots in nicely.

Just because it’s a bit slower, that doesn’t make it “worse”.

Driver viewport weakspot is strengthened to the point where it becomes near inexistent (both in terms of resistance and weakspot surface area), mantlet is reinforced and smaller inner cheek weakspots (near inexistent), whole hull armor become EVEN stronger since the base armor is significantly better, turret roof armor is thicker and reinforced, 3rd gen commander thermals besides the 3rd gen gunner thermals BVM already has…

Is it a bit slower than BVM? Yes.
Does it have even thicker and better armor than BVM, which is already the best armored MBT? Yes, too.

Not a downgrade, not at all. A sidegrade, at most, if anything.

CF-18 have 6 pylons

So it will be even more unkillable in WT than BVM is?

Yep.

But just because it’s a bit slower, Russian mains refer to it as a “huge downgrade”.

Not only does its armor become significantly stronger, but it also covers more surface area, making its front weakspots even smaller than BVM’s already are.

Ah, which is why they want shells that will outperform or at least matches anything else in game…

Give me.

Gijian please put it in UK tree. It’s the best place for it right now.


Truthfully I’d like it in a Canada tree but I don’t see one coming until any time soon and at least one more nation before it likely.

Yep, because the 580mm pen 3BM60 struggles a lot against M1A2 SEP’s 355mm KE hull or Leopard 2’s 350-420mm KE armor.

It’s not a bit slower. It’s quite a lot slower.

And mobility has always been more powerfull than armor in game.

oh no not a slow tank bet it got great amour right

3 or 4 hp/ton, it is not that much of a difference

Not much more than T-72B3; and, in exchange, it is even better protected than T-80BVM or the Strv 122s.

Choice A) Armour

Choice B) Neither.

as a Brit, I know which choice is a 1000x better
