Again, the SAAF Gripen shouldnt have gotten the Mavericks either.
However, if South Africa could afford to put Sidewinders, Mavericks, AMRAAMs, etc on their Gripens, they definitely would.
Switzerland deliberately decided against getting A2G ordnances for their Hornets. A large portion of Swiss people were against the purchase of the Hornet, their government deliberately decided against getting A2G ordnances for their planes.
The Swiss Hornet shouldn’t have access to A2G ordnances ingame.
Any new leaks/leak updates?
With the Napalm buff (2x napalm bombs destroying a base), I noticed China doesn’t really have much incendiary bombs.
Is this accurate, or simply hasn’t been added yet?
Sadly only German one has Litening II in WT. I enjoy AMX A-1 a lot because of better thermals, using guided bombs becomes way more enjoyable.
I mean, sure, it can do CAS if there are no SPAA’s and CAP jets to immediately shoot it down from the sky.
However that’s a tough request to fulfill when most nations get both CAS & CAP as a bundle (Gripen C [3 nations], F-16C [1 nation], and maybeee Mirage 2K?).
There’s also CAS jets that cannot be touched by any SPAA due to the excessive range of their weapons, so all they have to worry about are CAP capable jets (Su-25SM3).
Unironically the F-4F KWS is currently the most capable CAS jet Germany has at its disposal, which in itself is pretty pathetic as it gets only 2x65Gs and no TPOD so good luck distinguishing a destroyed AFV from an alive one at any range beyond 6km.
The Swiss Hornet shouldn’t have access to A2G ordnances ingame.
Gaijin will decide that, but they’ve given out ordnance(s) before that nations didn’t use/couldn’t use (or never even had) for the sake of preserving the game’s already shaky inter-nation balance.
That aside, the Swiss did purchase TPODs for their F-18Cs during the Upgrade 25 program, and Germany has had AGM-65D/Gs in their inventory; put the two together and viola :)
Main problem is, Gaijin doesn’t do balance either.
I mean, look at the 2A7s and Strv 122 being busted for 8-9 months now and the former even getting a buff next update. They have yet to do anything to bring the other nations up to par.
It’s not really capable of performing CAS duties. Unlike a fighter you can’t take any evasive to avoid SAMs because the Tornado is a bus.
Ehhhh… I died before. It aint that bad.
FFS… I was drinking coffee… Now im exhaling coffee😂😂😂
Dont worry, gaijin will eventually give every tree a leo with L55. Balance will be achieved.
Strv 122s have been busted ever since they were added man. Even with the spall liner nerfs, all that had changed was reverse the 122s to their “pre-buff” status when they were still busted (nearly unpenetrable frontally, M/95 that hits like a literal nuke…).
I’d also go as far as to say 2A7V isn’t nearly as busted as 122s because it can actually be perforated along most of its frontal arc (upper plate, weaker turret & hull etc), and with spall liners being no more than an aesthetic atm, you have to be extremely lucky to survive more than two hits.
Or change on your own page :)
With the recent talks about the Swiss and how they will add them, I think this could be the solution.
What are the planes leading up the the P-16?
While the Strv 122 is more busted, but in general the 2A7s and Strv 122s are all just on a different level compared to every other MBT.
The normal ones after the alpha jet, the only aircraft moved was the Tornado
The waiting game continues🍿
