British engineering as always.
P-51, bad aircraft until a British engineer suggested installing the Rolls Royce Merlin Engine
B-52 nearing the end of its life, gettng new engines from Rolls Royce
If in doubt, buy British :P

The BR changes they recently announced are still a thing?
Wasn’t that designed by Lockheed with Rolls Royce?
Should’ve been 8 GE9X engines. Would’ve given it a TWR of a little under 2:1 at MTOW
Not sure where you got that idea. As it’s naturally false.
Just because not everything ever suggested has come does not mean a great deal has and that suggestions are actively viewed.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT Just wondering if anything is planned to fill the british spaa gap this year at high tier, our longest range SPAA is now the OSA-AK at 10.3br. I think we are in quite a desperate need for something more capable that brings us on par to the 15-20km ranged missile/spaa systems other nations have, thanks for any response.

I think gaijin in a QnA they did say everyone would be getting new sams this year (I wouldnt be surprised if russia is one of the first and everyone else is in december)
As we have already mentioned, we are indeed working on new top SPAAs this year. However there is nothing currently to announce at this exact moment on the who, what, when etc. You will have to stay tuned.

I am eagerly waiting for the new fly swatters.
Slamraam?
Speaking of new and old things, since the P-16 is returning as GE, is there any updates on the status for the Israeli “starter packs” ? Since it’s now impossible as a new player to start grinding Israel.
Wouldn’t suprise me since it can go to 2 nations
Ik US but what other
Norway, they were the ones to complete the vehicle and it was a joint project before the US pulled out.

Ahh ok that makes sense but it should still go to the US right
The basic model of Slamraam yes.
Norway should get Slamraam and NASAM High mobility (the finished model)

Honestly both should get the better one imho, we don’t need to have nations with lesser spaa anymore.
Given the stance US players have on this subject no, the US doesn’t need Norways model, they have their own vehicles they could add. Additionally NASAM High mobility is very unlikely since it carries Aim 9x also
