Jason Isaacs playing Zhukov was simply chefs kiss

I sadly can’t quote one of my favourite lines because of some profanity and the need/desire to not get flagged, but I’ll start anyway,
“I mean, I’m smiling, but…”

AI gunners already are nerfed to the point of being useless most of the time in realistic battles. They have like 200m firing range and 600m tracking range.

Meanwhile the AI gunners on ships start firing as soon as you spawn a plane.

AI gunners on planes are quite sh*t. Last time they killed someone, I cant remember.
Last time I killed someone with a rear gunner was a few days ago in my Ju-87G-2, when 3 tail sitters tried to steal bits of my plane from 20 meters away…
They felt pain.

they got nerfed into uselessness a couple of years ago

they used to be only slightly worse than using the guns manually but fighter players complained that bombers weren’t an easy kill and they got nerfed to what they are now

it’s the polar opposite to naval AA crews

The SKR-1 doesn’t have AI gunners. Would have been the player shooting at you.

edit - Unless it was an AI spawned ship, can’t remember if the AI ever spawns in skr1’s. But they’d be focused on other ships, so my bet is still on a player saw you.

switch your controller guns to any other and it’s main battery is controlled by bots

It only has the 1 gun type, you can’t switch.

A small off topic problem.Why there are over 1 trillion trophys for sale?

I knew .But 1 trillion is way to much anyway.

Dont Ask Questions Just Consume Product GIF
Gaijin, probably

The AI do sometimes spawn them. And ofc they switch to HE-VT. Which is fine if you know they’re firing at you, and you turn every so often. Just the closer you get the less chance you have.

And iirc, if they aren’t shooting at another ship, they instantly fire on you and won’t stop until they die.

I was surprised to find out that the cockpit on this drone isn’t just for testing but is intended to be optionally crewed for missions where AI doesn’t cut it.

It’s not in service yet but it’s relatively low performamce might mean we see it earlier in WT rather than later. Kinda like how we got A-10’s well before Gen 4 jets.

Northropp Grumman Vanguard specs:

Top speed Mach: 0.85
Payload: 1000lbs (2x AIM-120 mentioned)
He162 vibes: heavy!
Low observable of course.

It has a high bypass turbofan which gives it very good fuel eficiency. Don’t think the T/W will be very good but I might be wrong. Harriers get good T/W despite a similar engine but they need it for VTOL and this thing likely will just end up very underpowered. The high aspect ratio wing will prob still help it retain a good sustained turn rate me thinks.
Also comes with a low price tag, only like 6 million usd.
