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

Guys, in your opinion hypothetically what BR would the Folland Gnat be as an attack aircraft?

Love the new UI, but can i get Medals shown on the same screen as above ?

(Same as it used to be, in the Olden days)

Attack aircraft? The Gnat was a light fighter with only two additional hardpoints to either carry a small rocket pod or a 500 lb bomb each.
As for its BR, probably around 8.3/8.7

how many hard points total? if it’s just 2 I wouldn’t say any higher than 8.0 even if it has CCIP, but assuming it has 4 hard points (2 missiles 2 bombs/rocketpods?) 8.3 is reasonable

Medieval mode with ballistas, cannons and catapults as tanks and dragons as planes

alr, I’m asking because I’m tryna build an indian tech tree and I’m tryna put aproximate br
I say as an attacker because that’s what the gnat was mostly used for by india

Not gonna lie that would be hella cool.

It has its 2 30mm guns and the two hardpoints. That’s all, no missiles, only dumb bombs/rockets.

Mate, it only carries its guns and 2 bombs or 2 rocket pods at most, it shouldn’t be classed as an attacker ingame and its intended role has always been as a light fighter

No CCIP? Dang. I’d give it 8.0 max, depending on flight performance, considering I don’t know how it performs, but probably 7.X

it can’t even carry missiles

And?

idk tbh. But what makes sense however is it would be foldered with Ajeet which has two additional hardpoints for ground attack
Unless We just put Ajeet alone and no gnat

7.X would be too low. It’s quicker and much more nimble than most 7.X planes and it’s quicker than some 8.0/8.3s even

Ah, okay. like I said, I have no idea what its flight performance is like, so I guess I should shut my face and stop making a fool of myself lol

I asked Smin about this a while back and he said no. Its a shame really. I really dislike the new profiles still

They could be foldered, but if anything the Gnat is the one that should be added, the Ajeet is of less importance.
The additional hardpoints are only able to either carry rocket pods or drop tanks, no bombs afaik

Alright I guess
