Germany is already extremely lucky to get this aircraft in the first place, so I don’t think they would have much ground to complain on.
Let’s be honest, no matter how much you repeat “muh A-10C!!1!” To yourself, this is just a Germany/China glazing update (which I don’t really mind too much personally). So the rest of the community won’t be too coöperative/happy about it.
It’s gonna have A2G armament, just like the SA Gripen got its Sidewinders and Mavericks
Oh nvm I thought it was 10 for the 18E and 8 for the 18C, but it’s 12 for the 18E and 10 for the 18C.
its not confirmed yet the F/A 18C is coming this update just saying
Nope, just normal DF’s, I wish they had supertemps back then.
name one :D
i would suggest the F-14A can only carry 2 AIM-54, the F-15C can only carry 4, the Gripen is only allowed to take IR missiles. Su-27 it not allowed to use the R-27ER bc of reasons. there is no valid reason to hold it back lol.
other than just beeing salty its may not come for the US.
like i said there is no valid reason. The F-15C can already spam 8 AIM-120 and the F-15C is a better Plattform.
Fair, but let’s be honest. With how the leak is shaping up it looks ever more likely.
The main question is if they make it time exclusive to Germany or not (because leaks usually don’t cover everything).
it was a weird uk missle thats all i remembered
Though G’99 second recent edit shows it could be shown in less than 2 weeks.
My bet next Friday could be the dev stream
I would say the same.
First Devblog between wednesday and friday this week and teaser next thursday with devstream on friday
maybe, we will see
well with sub tree adiditon and the star factor it could very well happen
Yea it was the same for the last update iirc.
I know, which further supports my point that Germany is lucky to get it early and has no ground to complain if they happen to get worse IR missiles that it had irl.
Besides that, you mention it’s less work for Gaijin to just give it 9Ms, but how? If it’s the first and only 18C this update it’s just as much work to just C&P 9P-4 to it.
What is that last thing? Is that like AA rocket launcher?
How? AIM-9P5 is already in game and the Swiss used them so whats your point? And the P5 is worse than the 9M and 9Li anyway. They will most likely get the P5
My point exactly. I was arguing against that it should just get 9Ms just because.
i dont want a made up 9M it never had. The P5 is strong enough. there is no need for the 9M it never used.
AMX Javelot
Pretty funny AA prototype: 64 x 40mm rockets (~1kg mass for 400g explo at 1100 m/s) ready to be fire in different mode to saturate the sky.
Burst of 8, 16 or 32 rockets.
Rockets shotgun AA :D
Project for a close defense weapon, based on a spin stabilised 40mm
rocket with a length of 370mm and a range of 1500m. The magazine
was housing 64 rockets, that could be fired in salvoes of 8, 16, or 32 rockets,
aimed by the integral radar or an optical system.
The magazines could be replaced within 30 seconds, kill probabilty against a target in 1500m
was expected to be around 70%.
If those rockets would be a proxy…that would be interesting idea…tho i would be afraid of the spread.
Plus it reminds me of that late ww2 german prototype jet plane that also had rockets in nose
