Yeah. I would prefer stuff like the more unique t90; if it was just straight up a t90a with no differentiating features in the visual sense, I would definitely be a little more upset. But I just see it as a more modern version of like, the tigris or heavy tank no. 6.

There is a T-90W?
Also, I would prefer stuff that actually is unique like the Arjun, Zorawar, Kestrel and Catapult SPA instead of modified or straight up copy pasted soviet equipment
You know the ALE-37 exists, and is found on the AV-8A yes?
When mounted on the aircraft, the AN/ALE-37A has various patterns of chaff, decoy flares, or expendable jammers. The dispensing set is of modular construction, making maintenance easier and reducing turnaround time. Each dispensing pod contains two lightweight payload modules. Each payload module has a capacity of 120 rounds, providing a total capacity of 240 rounds. When empty, the pod weighs 180 pounds. When fully loaded, the pod weighs approximately 277 pounds.
Was that used on the US F/A-18s?
See i want the Fokker on Benelux but then Finland would literally have nothing unique available on the TT lol, gaijin should honestly add the Fokker and do a serious evaluation of the worst subtree ever devised lmao.
Also if Benelux Light tanks are premium and not tt ima cry, this includes fokker and other benelux air additions.
Yes.

Source?
Those could be BOL for all I know
Same placement for the Finnish BOL-500 exact same
Same rail and theres one on both sides making 4 total external pods

I mean we at least have some confirmation of CM pods on the US F/A-18C
And it does look like 2 linked pods in the graphic
Now we just have to hope it gets added with CAS and isn’t limited, remember they removed bombs off the Mig-21 because of historical accuracy and not balance, not that it means much but im prepared for it to be gimped lol
Yes because that graphic is probably using SAAB BOL-500 and not what he suggested, the CM pod he suggested is huge and id need to see pictures with F18’s using that specific pod, seems more likely it would be a belly mounted pod.

Worst case with MLU 2 is we just get JDAMs, but hopefully we get everything the US does, not that I’m all that hopeful
The suggestion for the F/A-18 does say that the US tested BOL in the late 90s however there isn’t a source I can see for it, just that claim
If it only gets JDAMS its worthless then. The Gripen A and C will still be better options, hell even the AJS37 will be a better option.
You know, I would say the AAM-4B might be too much, but given that AESA is just PD radar still with better TWS track? I think it’ll probably be fine too. That being said, it would just be nerfed so it could wait till after they unnerf the AAM-4 as is currently.
I hope March at the latest because it’s really overdue. Like the F-2 will not be better than the EFT just like the F-18C won’t be (however, the US has the F-22 which I suspect we’ll see December 2025).
It’ll be better F-16 which translates to something a little better than the Gripen (in theory anyway, upto Gaijin after all), trading some sustained turn rate for better low speed performance and better AoA (which is pretty competitive in its own right) however it might not even get HMD. The only thing holding it back was “AESA too stronk” and now that the Rafale is here, that’s not a factor.
To be fair, I would not be surprised the F-22 getting added before stealth mechanics are refined, just like the F-117 and as you pointed out, sensor fusion of modern fighter aircraft. Aircraft sells updates, the tech behind it unfortunately does not.

Thats what i believe is the main reason gaijin would use to add BOL. I dont believe they actually use them but rather tested BOL. Its more likely they have their own pod or just didn’t see the reason to add it.

Yup, really it needs mavericks and LGBs at the very least to be worthwhile, otherwise I think I’d rather just get MLU 1 for now, make it as good as possible at A2A with the striped down weight
I wouldn’t trust gaijin with weight, all finnish T34s have the add on armor weight from the soviet models but cant get rid of the weight. They should weigh less than the soviet models and yes i bug reported it months ago
120CMs standard is pretty much plenty IRL so you can see why, but 60 pops in War Thunder isn’t great, I don’t feel comfortable without 70 or so at least
Eh, i dont really care, BOL is worthless imo, i don’t notice the difference when i use a Su-27 vs the gripen or F14B or tornado
