IRIS-T only came with Tranche 2
How many premium/squadron ground vehicles does US have compared to say… France?

Still better than the 1 hellfire and defenceless the entire time you are guiding it onto target, but yeah…
Nearly every nation needs a heli upgrade at top tier
Yeah, they’re talking about the F/A-18A being skipped. the F/A-18C is most likely
What does the Tornado Gr4 offer that the others don’t have? Or is it a C&P Premium?
Okay so 2A6NL and 2A4NL and…
2A6EX Demo 2 SURELY I’M BEGGING YOU GAIJIN
Comapred to Gr1
- Mk103 engines
- Gen 3 Tpod (up from Gen 1)
- FLIR
- updated cockpit MFDs
- 12-18x Brimstone
- ASRAAM (Assume Aim-9M)
- Storm Shadow
- ePaveways (for GPS guided bombs)
- Maybe added with ALARMs?
- TERMA pod (for MAWS) (replaces a BOZ pod, but has 240 CMs as well)
- 2x BOL (also should be on the Gr1)
- HMS (ground weapons only, though maybe gaijin will forget that bit)
(even minus the Brimstones and Storm Shadow for now, that is quite a big upgrade, Especially if coupled with CBU, ARM, Ground radar and/or ECM update)
Hopefully not a premium, that would be better filled by the Saudi Tornado Gr1

ASRAAM was Tranche 1 for the RAF! Historical loadouts when ha ha
Why is it that every time that the U.S is brought up, it’s always a competition?
Regardless of numbers- in terms of MBTs, U.S hasn’t got a single real upgrade since M1A2 back in 2019.
M1A2 SEP is M1A2, but with better thermals.
M1A1 HC is M1A2, but without CITV.
M1A1 AIM is M1A2 SEP, but without CITV and with worse shell.
M1A2 SEP is M1A2 SEP, but slower because of forced TUSK II.
Literally the only upgrade U.S has got between 2019 and 2024 is… 2nd gen thermals instead of 1st gen ones.
Worst of all is, this isn’t because there are no options. SEPv2 is 99% certainly using upgraded hull armor and they could have implemented SEPv3 along with the 2A7s… but they didn’t.
And worst of all x2; SEP and SEPv2 are proved to have better turret armor, specially on the sides, and not even that did Gaijin bother to fix after all these years of primary sourced bug reports with values and all.
They couldn’t even make SEPv2’s an optional mod so at least it wouldn’t be just slower and heavier and therefore a downgrade to SEP, or at least give it M829A3 so that it actually feels like an upgrade in one way for the first time in years.
Sure France is in an even worse state, partially because they have less options to work with but mostly because of how neglected the Leclercs are, but… does this have to be a competition every time?

Seeing as F/A-18 Hornet would likely come to multiple nations at once and thus be the central addition, I’m gonna guess that the update name is “Hornet’s nest”

For sure, that’s my guess too.
If they add the Osa launcher as well it would fit the theme too

Such a cool name. That sounds like the most accurate guess for the update of the f-18s are coming
Yes she is mine

No luv for WW2 luchs?
I think its more likely to be either Colorado or SoDak 1920 (with barbette ammo-rack).

For the researchable tree rank 8 after aussie F-111C. I think
Yeah with those specs i’m not expecting it to be a premium. Thx for the clarification! Looks cool. Too bad i’m too far off research wise
