P much the emperor-king of deck gun fights between submarines rn, as one would expect. The excessive number of torpedo tubes and their generous firing angles are also above the pack when it comes to dealing w/ surface ships.
However, the noticeable dispersion and low RoF of the main cannons make them unreliable against even the smaller surface ships, and the massive combined bridge/conning tower/sail is a constantly exploitable weakness for SAP and HE while at periscope depth.
Seeing what we’ve already seen of them, they could come at pretty much any time. When they will, we don’t have any specific indicators for. But the " will they/will they not add submarines " question seems to have been obsoleted, in favour of " they will ".
ARH missiles and, while it’s not confirmed, there’s no logical reason that the Swedish JAS39C wouldn’t come. The F-4F ICE and either XF-2A or F-15J MSIP are also soft confirmed, since neither Germany nor Japan currently have an ARH missile carrier.
Aside from the Swe Gripen C, ARH’s for all nations and likely some stuff here and there to carry them for those that don’t have it yet…I am expecting atleast one more rank 8 premium. Possibly more to capitalise on people wanting ARH’s as soon as possible.
the problem is that germany just doesnt have any jets that would make them competitive until the EFT same as the uk if we didnt get Gripen which like you said earlier we had a mig23mld counterpart fighting Mig29SMTs and F16Cs, the sad truth is germany is just gonna be stuff as an underdog for a few patches like sweden and the uk were for over a year
I’m referring to what German air has gone through since Supersonic. The MiG-19S and both MiG-29s were added after the Russian equivalents, the F-4F, MiG-21bis-SAU, and MiG-23MLA were added ages after the F-4E, MiG-21bis, and MiG-23MLD, and the first two were added after event versions.
