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

Just give both,

there is no reason why they should be reduced in quantity

or maybe say stock you’re stuck with a 50/50 mix, but you should still have the full amount

imagine like J-15T with like 25% CMs stock, that’d be 12 CMs, which isnt enough for anyone

The reason: you’re stock xD

What’s next, 2 ARH + 2 IR not enough, give full loadout? It’s fine though because muh Mirage 2000 only gets 4 (as an example)

Seriously though, I know the J-15T is… well, not ideal in that example you gave (it’s not alone) and the stock grind for that particular jet will always be pain regardless (until ECM is added).

F-16XL is going to be most similar to Mirage 4000.

I was first closer to having it at 13.0, at the tree with full AIM-9M loadout. Maybe with some AIM-7Ms. But if the thing is going to cause a conflict about AIM-120s, it should better be a squadron vehicle.

But something has to go to Rank VIII, so F-111F can be equipped with AIM-9Ms and go to 12.7 and its place can be filled with F-111D. Or with A-6E SWIP, at 12.0

Typo. Correcting rn

I can only take AIM-120A and AIM-9L. It couldn’t mount AIM-7’s as it used recessed pylons for the AIM-120’s and it was never seen with AIM-9M, only AIM-9L.

Isn’t this aircraft got out of use before AIM-120 ever entered service? Assuming AIM-9Ms for it would be more logical I suppose

What are the chances for a BeNeLux naval sub-TT this year?
If submarines are going to come this year, perhaps higher.

It was being developed with AIM-120 in mind. There’s numerous images of them carrying dummy AIM-120’s for testing.

It was also planned to use AIM-120 if it was to go into full production.

Ground attackers getting better A2A just because they can is rarely a good thing. Usually they just suffer more than they do currently.

Tornado GR4 for example is nearly unplayable with the current compression and its a real shame, because 6 months ago, it was kinda fun to mess around in. I would not, under any circumstances, want it to get ASRAAM and move up any further.

F-111F is likely waaaaay more healthy at 11.7 than it ever would be at 12.7

This is why I think something like modular BR’s are needed for some vehicles. Vehicles could get their historical weapons with a BR increase but allow for a lower BR with less potent missiles. Could tie it into vehicle mods so once you equip the mod the BR changes and you can use said equipment but when you remove the mod you can no longer use it but the BR also goes down to a more appropriate BR.

Yeah, a Dynamic BR system would resolve it, but Gaijin cant even get BRs right when vehicles have 1 BR, let alone 2.

It is more of a 12.7 - 13.3 problem than a Tornado problem.

Here is another aspect: The Italian tree has 3 nearly same Tornados with only difference being the generation of LGBs.

At the same GRB BR.

The first 2 yeah, the only difference is one has GBUs and the other doesnt. The RET8 though does gain a notable increase in CMs and MAWS. As well as more advanced A2G stuff.

1 is 10.0, the other 2 are 11.3 which is dumb.

The issue is that the game is designed to be bad for ground attackers in ARB, they are balanced poorly, the game actively punishes them through diminishing returns and there is no gameplay for them. An F-111F at 12.7 would be virtually unplayable imo

the F16C/D MSIP has a airborne self prot jammer?

Again the problem is not F-111 such as a platform. You cannot just dodge a missile by maneuvering at that BR.

The problem is that there are 12.7 pieces at 12.3 (F-18A), 13.0 pieces at 12.7 (F-15A), 13.3 pieces at 13.0 (F-18C), 13.7 pieces at 13.3 (Su-30MKK variants).

Basically any missile truck is placed at a lower BR because of money greed or like nobody ever plays? (F-18A or F-2A)

no, its just 12.7-13.3 is a horrid BR rn, jets with no fox 3s are constantly being up tiered and fighting jets WITH fox 3s, also why would the F111 go up in br? its fine as is if anything, it should get the PESA radar the F111F was gonna get

It might be, we also recently got the Boxer, so it might be for someone else. If it is though, it will be handy, because its an event I can ignore

I hope so!

I… NEED… TOP MBT…!

Although Arjun would apparently be on the 10.7-level range, but… hey, addition to the Challenger Mk.3 lineup!
