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

that is debatable

will say I actually had more fun playing russia the Mig23MLD is really good and most F15A and F18C players underestimate it

I swear that was there response for the mode thats been in hell for like 3 years not counting ASB I know they said it would be a bit but if there testing now we could see it end of year or February similarly to fox 3’s

At the moment, we are currently focused on feedback for the mode itself and the gameplay features shown within it.

Yeah, no wonder the Hamster kept dying, the game is struggling to cope with the reality that ground attackers can actually be useful if given something to do

I hope moir modern jets get it the fact they didnt allow an f18 to carry any is criminal even for an event.

I quite enjoyed some time in the 29 9-13 last night. As well as the 23 :)

a10c go brr, to be fair that thing is a heavily undertiered blackhole for jets at 11.7

Well first things first…

Open it up to all nations, not just 2.

Hard to actually given any meaningful feedback in the rubbish selection of default aircraft given

I sadly don’t have jets for russia or america so im slogging it in a Mig23MLD and F4E lol still normally make it to the top 3

although I agree if there purpose is just getting general feedback early on they don’t want to be spending an extra few months to add all the nations for a feedback test

however it definitly would have been better with 12 arm tornadoes 4 is not enough

im actually intrigued what harm options do most nations have for early 70’s does anyone know.

They could have easily added a handful other aircraft for testing this event though.

Like Tornado ASSTA1, already has nuke modeled as the nuke carrier for GRB. Uses AGM-88 IRL on the same mounts modeled for AS-34.

Would have been super easy to add for bluefor.

9 is the max for the GR1

one day I will see my sweet Gr1 with 9 ALARMS

damn i honestly dont know where i heard 12 now

to be fair im not sure about russia but if they have subsonic equivalent for there ARM carriers it would have been unfair.

what does russia get to carry ARM’s in the event other than the su25?

Britain:

Tornado GR1 / GR4 - ALARM
Buc S2B - AJ168
Tornado EF3 (I think this could maybe be added as a mod for the F3) - ALARM
Typhoon - ALARM (Gaijin discretion on this one)
Harrier Gr7 - ALARM

France:

Jaguar A/E - AJ168

Only one I know properly, Id assume the Mirage 2000Ds and maybe the Super Etendard would have an ARM option too

Germany and Italy

Tornado IDS - AGM-88
F-4 maybe too for Germany?

Japan is probably gunna be reliant on technical compatibilty for their US stuff. (A-7, F-4, F-16)

Sweden

No idea

China has native options I think, but would be slightly higher BRs

Israel I assume has options on their F-16s and co

Might be confusing it with teh Tornado GR4 running 4x ALARM and 12x Brimstone

Su-24?

(not looked at the redfor side)

it would kinda be funny if theretechtree just ends here they essentially have evrything other that ECM on their gripens right?

Yeah, at least they’ll get AGM-88 on the F-16s and F-18s, but I dont know if the ASJ37 had any form of ARM though.

oof only 2 lol

other than the obvious excuse of less work i wonder if 9 arms vs 2 on a supersonic swingwing fighter made them not do it, we better get it next update i want a reason to finally grind the german tornado line

also with how easily arms get intercepted this one is comically useless over the 6 bombs lol
