Honestly i wouldn’t care if gaijin gave it to britain. Sweden air is already a dumpster fire and i dont play them anymore so what do i care lol. Id like people to actually try the air tree but again as you said. It has nothing to offer. Again its why i think people who willingly grind it are insane.
Gaijin went out of their way to kill my interest in their aircraft overs the past 3 years and every updates is just another reason not to bother. Thankfully sweden wasn’t my first air nation nor my main, that goes to the US because of high much i dont have to use my brain lol. Honestly i just dont have the time to grind through reserve props lol, way too slow. Ill wait till i get a new low BR prem plane for a nation
Yeah, Also most think ground is the only gamemode that matters and air is just there to support ground at which point Sweden gets brushed off as being a good nation with weak CAS and should just stop complaining. But in reality, the air is very weak
Id say sweden air bolsters their ground if their air wasnt only good at 8.7 and 13.0, tbf their ground only gets good at 8.0 and 8.7, then its dry until 10.3 and up. So a lotta garbage to sift through. Some gems like the Bkan and PBV 301 but everything else is meh
Besides the Light tanks are the only reason i ever even grinded the TT. Too bad they are so…slow… i love fast vehicles because i play very aggressive
Also i beg snail, make the 30mm bushmaster actually good, its so bad. My BMP 2’s 30mm has better accuracy and damge than this thing lmao.
Im actually haunted by the bushmasters gun sound…
@quartas121 have you used the 30mm bushmaster btw?
My main issue with next-gen Fox-2s is that I would prefer it if we were able to keep our distance from them with longer range Fox-3s.
I’m definitely looking forward to next-gen Fox-2s though, I’m not opposed to them. I just hope we get a minor step up in Fox-3 capabilities to complement the new Fox-2s.
It’s also worth noting that the R-73M and R-74 are not huge leaps in technology over the R-73. I would definitely like to see semi-equivalent missiles added alongside them though (like the AIM-9X Block 1, Python-4, etc.).
Smin1080p did also state that we’re far away from missiles like the IRIS-T, so I wonder if we’re going to get an “early” set of new IR missiles - specifically ignoring the IRIS-T, MICA-EM MICA-IR, AAM-5, PL-10, and AIM-9X Block 2, and just adding “early” next-gen Fox-2s.
Honestly any new missiles would be welcome imo, I just hope they can maintain balance for all nations.
Next Gen IR missiles are probably going to be added just like ARH missiles, in other words, every nation will get their equivalents at the same time. Which means just like how the AAM-4 is nerfed right now to be added. All those IR missiles will probably be nerfed and added (probably just not immune to chaff, so current IRCCM but better kinetic performance).
I also just don’t see them buffing it ever. The current game is balanced around being able to counter each other’s weapons and tactics. I don’t think they’ll ever add IR missiles that can’t be flared off even if that’s how they were IRL. Maybe with ECM, but since we don’t have those mechanics yet, it’s hard to say.
I’m actually wondering if Australia will integrate Spikes on their AH-64Es as well. I did read Australian pilots doing the initial training on the AH-64E in the US were also learning the Spike weapons system. But I don’t know if Australia plans on using them.
Yeah, it’s being integrated on the U.S. AH-64E Guardians until another system is developed. Israel does have it on its AH-64D’s though. Just note this missile isn’t the same as those (Spike ER) found on the Tiger or AH-60. They’re the Spike NLOS, a larger missile with significantly longer ranges and capabilities. I believe its listed range is 32km but could be higher.
