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

I’ve looked at the F/A-18A/C/Es performance graphs by the US MoD and the only reason why I wouldn’t put it at 13.0 is the missile count

at 13.0 only one Aircraft would have a worse FM than the F/A-18 and that’s the AV8B+/SHar

from the numbers alone the F4F would win by a Power advantage, Kfir C.10 and J37D would win in both T/W and turnfights

but the Missile count is more of an advantage so it should be 0.3 higher

i would assume this weekend given the event starts tomorrow, But no date is given yet.

It should have better or equivalent FM to all 13.3 aircraft, while having more and/or better missiles than all of them, as well as HMD, all of which should be enough to put it at 13.7

Instead of asking where a certain vehicle is how about make the 3D model for it and feed it to the snail…

Likely candidates for the plane seem like

  • RAF, RAAF, or IAF (A-31) Vengeance Mk.II for Britain - others were lend-lease but Vengeance II was a direct purchase
  • Thai SB2C-5
  • Italian S2C-5

Seems pointless then. Would very much be DoA at that point. At best, it should be the addition that brings the 10 C-5/C-7s and early Block I 9Xs along with HARMs. Maybe even some SLAMERs.

They should just add the F/A-18C DS as a squadron vehicle at 12.7/13.0

If there is going to be a squadron F/A-18, then it should just be the F-18A Legacy Hornet.

It is a copypaste so presumably something existing in game. Same for the tank but its also explicitly stated that its leased so most likely western allies or soviet.

Yet there is already the homare 23 from a previous bp, less weapons but better air to air capabilities, largely the same

Bet the top vehicle is an Italian M47 or French upgraded M4

The A could only use TV guided weapons so Walleyes and Mavericks, a Desert Storm F/A-18C would be fine, it’s still a legacy hornet, it would just get LGBs and a better radar than the A, would still just have 9M and 7M for A2A though, it makes more sense than the A+ as well as that was 92 specifically to upgrade the As to use AMRAAMs so it would be weird to see them without, the C was used extensively before the AMRAAM saw service though so it would be fine.

Its not that neccessary to put the b7a2 upwards since they kinda rely on bomber spawn to really abuse their dogfighting potentials

I disagree on that part

it’s IRL Flight performance is so Sub par that I doubt Gaijn will make it overperfeom so heavily that they have to put it at 13.3

Gaijin to Japan:
Hahahaha sounds familiar
CAS players are dumping all over the games
Your tank could be next
That is unless you purchase the battle pass and
