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

It should at least also go to the US, but it should go to everyone who is granted to get it(at some point) at the same time, much like a number of other updates.

(So at least US, GER, SWE. but maybe we’d get lucky and get the others that could also get it)

i get the feeling it will, seems to be a similar situation after all.

Yeah everyone should get it if they can within reason. Making a vehicle exclusive to any nation in order to make people play that nation is pretty stupid. Like the AV-8B+ and JAS39C. All it serves to do is rile up parts of the playerbase. It’s not good for the game.

Honestly we will have to wait and see, as of now we don’t really have any hard evidence of anything regarding the F/A-18C.

All we know is that it might come to the German tree and there is 0 hard evidence that confirms if it will even end up in this update or if it will be an exclusive to Germany.

It’s always interesting reading rr&d month before the first leak list. Vehicles wishlisting, cool history tidbits and Deathmisser making guesses about next ingame nation.
And then leak list drops containing some controversial vehicle and everybody here just wants to kill each other.

It used to be even more interesting when the well known forum trolls weren’t banned

The sources used by naveweaps and wikipedia tend to indicate a reload time closer to 1.75 RPM for a 15° elevation, so around 34 seconds, but maybe i’m missing something ?

Hey, it’s not our fault that Gaijin makes such terrible decisions.
The leaks were especially rough this time around tho

Main problem is just that are a lot of people are getting ahead of themselfs and are jumping to conclusions.

US mains thinking that it’s confirmed already that they are not getting the F/A-18C, German mains acting like it’s already confirmed that they are getting it etc.

To be fair, Gaijins trackrecord very much supports these theorized outcomes

For the JAS39C all its done is lead to the Gripen C being poorly modeled and all models are just glorified A’s which are still missing their real armaments.

Gaijin couldve made the vehicle make sense if the A was never made to be what the C is. And had the C and A not been added at the same time. Thats a problem with gaijin and it makes me worry for how the F18 will be added.

There are more examples of nations getting their vehicles at the same time than examples of nations getting vehicles before the producing nation gets them.

However seeing as there are examples for both I won’t assume anything.

There are also examples of blatantly better vehicles coming at the same time as their lesser parts. Sometimes theres a trade off and other times there isn’t

Oh I know. The Strv 122s and 2A7s perfectly fit what you are saying for top tier ground.

Only 50 more until part 3 we can do it guys start arguing about some random trivial thing!

A Hornet is not something that was ever planned to come in the current major update, so any claims as such should not be taken as offical. We would also note an aircraft like the Hornet would not come to a 3rd party nation before it was ever added to America.
