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

It’s going to go all to way until B-52Z and then wrap back around to B-52A.

Ngl, that’s just an excuse as they have most of it there. The only thing left is lights indicators modeled and some higher quality graphics.

I honestly can’t find anything about the AN/APQ-166. Does it have the ability to track ground targets or is it strictly terrain? If it’s the latter, Gaijin wasted time by adding it in unless they start doing terrain following/terrain mapping for targeting (which is negated by the map existing for CCRP).

I mean… it was a SRC radar. Unless the target was above the horizon, it isn’t going to work. What would help it more is if the Ai gunners weren’t knee capped to be worse than US ww2 training in capability.

I mean, there’s the AGM-142, a list of CBUs, AGM-86, etc. There’s plenty of options they could have added. Realistically, they should have given us an earlier variant of the B-52 since the game capability hard limits the H

B-52A1 when

Honestly it’s the one of the worst Hornets in game iirc I don’t even know why the yanks wanted 3 the same airframe while being worse then each other

Except Block 1, equipments Operation Enduring Freedom (early-2000’s) and similar to the legacy hornet from USMC

I suppose closer to the USN F/A-18E/F Block III

It would be good if it didnt have to face 13.7 EVERY match, its at best usable currently, wish they gave this one 120 CMs too

My two cents?
B-52s cockpit wasn’t fully ready in time for event
I’d give it one or two major updates before it gets fully modeled cockpit

fixed it for you

Spoiler

stupid forum didnt reply

Hopefully so, like what happened with the Comanche cockpit. (Although I still believe that was a result of them modelling it as the pilot sitting in the back instead of correctly being in the front so they had to just slap in a placeholder as they fixed it.)

60 CMs at 12.7 isn’t too bad, it can be a lot worse (cries in F-16A ADF, F-16A OCU, F-16AM (NOR) and J-15T).

How dare you take some room away from Indian top tier!

It is pretty bad when u essentially exclusively face 13.7 and have to decide if u take all flares and hug the ground or waste half your CMs to probably not even notch a fox3 because they are datalinking it from outer space lol (or servers decide to just die and u are already dead)

As someone who is not an air player found the CF-188 playable.

Tho it being an A model dose make it worse then the other two, and the fact it see jets far better then it every other game doesn’t help.

the american and british are the same except the CF doesnt get walleyes, the swiss one is a C with 120 CM and the better engines (and slightly better radar iirc)

I completely agree rename in the second major update

Just regular name

I love flying the Su-24M. One benefit of Air EC is that they are not forced to join fighting with others.

They should have added the F-111F to the event roster too.

AGM-142 is post '91 sadly so…

US one should still have the better engines as that what was what was a big part of the C variant.

i mean so should the CF188, with 9Ms and 120s (or literally all f18 premiums)

Sadly no, nether the IMP or HEP program upgrade the CF-188s engine to the ones used in the C or later variants.

So all the CF-188 get is better weapons and radar if we get the later upgrades. As the one we have is from the 1990s at lastest as it has nothing from even the IMP upgrades much less HEP.
