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

Missile amount is also questionable considering the outer MRM stations were scrapped and the inner stations are unconfirmed for AAMs, so unless Gaijin find more on inner stations using AAMs (which would make it 6 BVR + 4 WVR) it’s limited to only 4 BVR missiles. Sure, it gets 4 WVR missiles with that, but couldn’t carry the 6 BVR missiles the F-16 can.

Then again I wouldn’t call it a straight downgrade for BVR still, since the J/APG-2 AESA radar would be superior to the F-16Cs AN/APG-68. With proper J/ARG-1 datalink system, the AAM-4 missiles would get full combined guidance from both the missile seeker and plane radar at the same time all the way to impact, which could actually make the F-2 the superior BVR plane for that reason again, but that is only if they implement it, which for the F-15J(M) they already forgot.

For WVR fights I’d say it’s more of a sidegrade. The added agility would come at a cost of energy retention (unless we get ME FCS mode) and it never used HMD. AAM-3 is superior to the AIM-9M, but the F-2 can only carry them on outer and wingtip stations for a total maximum of 4, and unless Gaijin get around to giving them their real IRCCM and maneuvering capabilities they’re not even much better in the first place.

god I hope not the UK doesnt need a Su30 or Mirage2k

5622

difference is japan needs the help the US really doesn’t, so instead of the majority of the possible additions just being skins they would be actual vics in a tree

5623

I think spain operates F/A-18Cs?

5624

Couldn’t get very creative

unironically some of those would be really fun, the BMD-2M, Panhard ERC and centauro 2 would all be fun light tanks

5626

need a tech tree BMD at this point((

also I feel the zorawar would be a very mid light tank, would only have a 105, and its max speed is 70km/h on road which is about as much as the average MBT at the br it would be, its cross country is a dreadful 40km/h where most actual mbts would be faster then it

5628

I think it depends on multiple factors. The VT-5 also “only” has a 105mm gun and is a really potent LT in game currently, which is why it’s moving up to 11.0.

5629

I don’t know too much about it but I assume it’s performance will depend on it’s BR. Though doesn’t seem like it will be as good as Chinese LT’s or CV90105/120.

5630

eh maybe I just dont see it it looks rather slow for a light tank, I also am not sure if its ATGMs are FnF or not if they arent thats a massive downside at top tier

5631

Replace that Boeing 737 with a MC-130H Combat Talon ll and you got yourself a deal.

5632

That doesn’t mean it should get SK they don’t have the relationship as the US and japan already has thailand.

5633

F-18C MLU is wrong btw, Smin has confirmed the MLU to not be added, rather MLU 2 is slated for the next addition but its not confirmed for next update.

Also missed chance to add the Stingray

5634

not to mention modern day stuff but ya know, and again the US really doesnt need it

I don’t think that’s happening

5636

Well its mobility should be doable for British standards, plus not every map is tibetan plateau where 90% of the tanks got their HP/T halved

5637

2nd, actually.
there was one like, almost a week ago.

5638

it doesnt change that most MBTs are still faster then it and the ones that arent match it, which for a light tank is really bad our best option would be the CTA-40 Boxer

5639

Did UK really need the F-111C or a 2nd subtree? Did France really need an F-16
