Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

feel like ive seen one on this forum tbh

The problem with the brimstone is that its either radar or laser guided. One would be too powerful (same reason we dont have AGM-114Ls) and the other would make it pretty bad, requiring lasing during the entire flight

GRB when Brimstone 3 get announced:

18 if all of the wing pylons (with the exception of the SRAAM one) are used (they all have identical wiring afaik), but irl it never will because there are other things it needs to carry;

  • StormShadow/TAURUS
  • fuel tanks
  • maybe LGBs.

they’ll definetly be dual mode, Im guessing they’ll just be like IIR guided AGM-65s in terms of performance and then the only OP thing could be the volume of fire.

Probably the only time it would carry so many is the same as the Tornado Gr4. When the target is purely something like a convoy that needs wiping out.

But this definetly wouldnt be OP. No one would complain about it :P

Yep, sounds right. Though you forgot the random mid flight self-destruct without cause

Might’ve, yea, but if we wanna be generous here, they’d likely self-detonate right after coming off the rail, taking the mother jet down in the process :D

Hmmm, looking at this article and the Germany vs France placement discussion, I guess that makes Britain rhe best option.

How are you liking that time exclusive F/A-18C that you were teasing people about here? Is it nice to fly?

I think june 2025 is a decent guesstimate.

Doubt we will see them for years to come unless heavily nerfed. I don’t see them just killing off top tier ground rb like that.

Subtrees don’t mean every vehicle of the subtree nation will be added, but also a subtree nation can only go to the tree it is added. This means a subtree vehicle that isn’t added, just won’t ever be in game, unless of course it is added.

Seems like a subtree specific rule on paper, but that statement probably means nothing more than what is the rule for any nation in game. Tech trees have very limited space, vehicles are plenty, so not every vehicle will be in game, as not every vehicle can be in game.

Generally I’d say unique vehicles like this are more likely to be preferred over others, but looking at some existing subtrees there is enough reasons to doubt that.

So almost everything can be integrated anywhere on these six pylons.

early enough

Yet even the unique stuff might not come because there is no room, considering how much Gaijin loves adding C&P over them.

I mean even then the C&P would at least fill some holes lol.
