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

Maybe. I’m not 100% sure on that one.

Absolutely not no.

Nah, A+ with AMRAAMs wouldnt be a 13.0, at least 13.3
For the E it would really depend on the weapons, if they introduce new stuff it wouldn’t be 13.7

AIM-174!!!

Would be very funny

A was still used extensively in Desert Storm, so it should have used the M, there are also no comparability issues between L and M that I’m aware of

Idk, id say hes the 2nd most stubborn but considering the guy im thinking of isn’t as active ill give it to Quartas.

Also if i didn’t complain how could i be considered an average warthunder player? Smh i can either be the average or i can leak sekrit documents lmao

America - GUARANTEED to have a Tech Tree F/A-18 (because it’s their jet)
Sweden - Very good chance their F/A-18 is Tech Tree because the Finnish tree is missing a capstone, and Sweden as a whole isn’t boasting many top tier jets.
Germany - Coin toss
Britain - Coin toss
Italy - (unlikely to even get one, but if they do it’s a good chance at being a premium)

That is the most likely configuration for a plain F/A-18A

Why would Italy get one? Spain has nothing to do with Italy.

Wasn’t Spain controlled by the Roman Empire?

Fingers crossed, the 0.3BR increase from having the M over the L is so worth it, I’ve said it before but the Desert Storm Hornet is my most anticipated aircraft for this year

Right, top notch reason to give Italy Spain

How is Italy a legitimate successer of Rome? Like, the US might as well be more Roman, or even Imperial Russia.

You kinda cut off my quote so it looks like im saying it would be when i was asking a question but realistically it depends on if it has the same wonky UFO flight model the F15 has at low speed

Yeah 13.3 wouldn’t be surprising.

If they add in a bog standard initial production F/A-18E with APG-73, AIM-120B and 9M right now it would be 13.7

If they add the modern one with APG-79, AIM-120D and AIM-9X then we will be looking at 14.7 (this of course while the Typhoon is 15.7)

let me repeat this again
VERY UNLIKELY but not impossible. Spain hasn’t been mentioned as a potential tree, Spain has shown no signs of being added any time soon, Spain doesn’t have enough to warrant a separate tree, and the one Spanish vehicle in this entire game is in the Italian tech tree.

So while the odds are low as hell, they’re not zero. I listed it because god forbid you leave even the 1% chances out of the discussion, then people complain. But I guess people complain either way in this forum.

Spain technically was a member of the Axis, so minor Aixs stuff.

It was only over a 1000 year ago though!

Spoiler

Im gonna be sad if we dont get neat camos on all the hornets. I know the US will have a few but i doubt we’ll see any if the swiss or finnish tail art considering most export vehicles dont get alt camos

Doesn’t F-15 have lift body and big wing area + lighter weight on earlier variants? Makes sense to me

What would that Spanish vehicle be? Coz the Centauro is not Spanish.
