Well, at least you have something that you are hyped about… The leaks are a major nothingburger yet again tbh
Ive been waiting for warspite for a few years at this point tbh
If we get F 35 this patch i will not care about literally anything else. I need my strike fighter
Gimme a Gnat, Hawk or any V-Bomber and I’ll be happy for the entire year
Would be a nice trainer aircraft update. Though i wonder if Gnat will get the Ariete treatment and be sent to 9.7 for its flight performance
F-18, Su-30SM and Strasbourg make sense given the " Looking Ahead 2025 " decal and the recent CM Disclosures post.
Tigre HAC for France is a little weird, iirc it wasn’t actually built ? Unless they plan to do it as the test article named as the production variant.
HMS Warspite coming is excellent ! ( yes I’ve seen the devblog, I’m not that far behind )
It seems to be the first WT Mobile -exclusive vehicle to be coming in a regular playable state to the base game, something that will likely continue as further end-of-end battleships are introduced. and submarines
2S19 is interesting, it 's in Modern Warfront Tanks - the Artstorm mobile game that Gaijin publishes the PC port of
Which @gszabi99 has been datamining plug
Very nice.
This does not appear to show that anti-radiation missiles are not planned. It 's more likely a continuation of the statements they’ve made in the past about ARM not being considered useful against player-controlled SAM systems, here and here.
Since we have also been seeing developments for the non-player static SAM systems, which the developer(s) consider to be useful targets for anti-radiation weapons according to their communications:
The S-75, MIM-23 Hawk, S-300 and Patriot complexes have been added to the files, along w/ some components of new mission objectives and layouts for them to be applied to. Also, the AGM-78 and LD-10 ARM have appeared in the files.
There 's also been leaks from Oliviia abt them.
So while it is true that Anti-radiation is not being considered for development wrt Ground modes, there are a number of indicators that they are being developed for Air.
Who would win?
Smol gunfighter vs AIM-9L/R-60M(K)
I’m kinda hoping for an aerobatics themed update, you’ve got the Blue Angels (F/A-18), Red Arrows (Gnat/Hawk) Russian Knights (SU-30SM) Frecce Tricolori (M346), and probably others, I think would make for a damn cool trailer and a solid set of plausible aircraft to be added
Personally,
F-15A and F-15C and all of their derivatives are not meta defining.
The F-15E on the other hand is very much on-meta right now. It’s not quite as strong as the EFT and Rafale but the F-15E is definitely competitive currently. As is the Ra’am.
Right now, USA, Israel, Italy, UK, Germany, and France all have very competitive top-tier aircraft in the form of the EFT, F-15E/Ra’am, and Rafale. So it’s Russia, Sweden, Japan, and China that need some assistance more than anybody else.
Russia and China have no shortage of advanced Flanker variants (and others) that can fill out those ranks. Sweden and Japan don’t have many options for the future. The Finnish F-18 will definitely be useful for Sweden, and the F-2 is the only real option for Japan.
Obviously almost everybody could get an F-35 when that time comes, and I think that will come sooner rather than later… but maybe not this year.
EDIT: Yeah the hornet is late to be on-meta… but that’s not really a problem? It’s like asking “why add a WW2 tank? It’s not meta” there are other BRs to play…
eh with how easy mavs are to shoot down? You’d trade mid for mid again.
Snail, the snail always wins because we’re the ones playing them. Also with no flares if were in the Gnat or Hawk we are definitely free food to Su-25 and A-10
wait… if thats the case wasnt the Badger on that decal…
At least there is a plethora of Hawk variants with dozens of weapons configurations
The Gnat on the other hand only has guns and that’s it
tho at this point id rather want le HVM that was leaked like uh last year
Depends on the Hawks, Finnish Hawks have no CM’s yet have R60 and Aim 9M…
Basic R-60s or R-60Ms?
Isn’t it just a Chinese version of the Su-27SM with its own kinks?
R-60 non all aspecr
With how strong the F-15E/I was on release, and how good is still arguably is, I would argue that it has been meta defining enough.
The problem with the hornet is that the F/A-18C is arguably already at best a sidegrade to the F-15C, let alone the F-15E.
Fun fact another looked over project was a super sonic gnat…
