Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Wtf? The thing can barely hit stationary helicopters at 5km, any other SPAA in the game from 10.3 or later can do that better than the OTOMATIC.

Hopefully we’ll get removeable wing tip tanks and optional drop tanks on all applicable aircraft someday

I am reported Banshee tanks. But F9F cannot remove them, they are part of the wing.

Even if you could, I’m not sure you’d want to, as the wingtip tanks increase the roll rate.

They are just ugly.

It appears it could actually be removed on the ground
They weren’t jettisonable in the air though

Fair nuff

I really like how the Cougar looks, partially for this reason

I’d actually trade some roll rate (and less fuel) for better looks
IMO Panther looks so clean and sleek without tip tanks

Don’t mix up the Cougar and Panther
Cougar is the swept wing one
Panther is straight wing one

EDIT: Wait… I may have misunderstood the point of post

I should’ve been more clear maybe, but what I really meant was: I prefer how the swept wing Cougar looks, partly because it doesn’t have the wing tanks of the straight wing Panther

Can’t uninstalled drop tank wingtips

Sadly, I don’t know F-84 Thunderjet installed or uninstalled wingtip fuel tank on modification

Check picture of blue one above
They can be removed on the ground but can’t be jettisoned in the air

F-84 can jettison its tanks in the air like F2H

Interesting fact: The wing tips on the A21’s arent just fuel but were also used to test carrying napalm which could be dropped. This suggestion has never been added.

Also on one of the US 7.x jets equiping rockets removes the wingtip fuel tanks, dont remember which one.
