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

That is quite simply your opinion, and tbh I don’t put much value in it. Poland is very much like India where they develop domestic solutions with licenced production filling the gaps.

Some more notable developments Poland could bring is it’s collection WW2 designs, with the top tier being made up of modernised soviet designs (PT-16/17 etc), licensed production (K2PL) and imports (K2, M1, & Leopard 2A4 & 2A5).

Combined with Ukraine it would be competitive even at top of the BR range with very few capability gaps, over all a similar tree to China in terms of verity and such.

MQ-9B, MQ-9, MQ-1C ,and my favorite the MQ-20

Now that I think of it that could work pretty well

Wasn’t what I was getting at originally but good idea

Uh, guys… did you really get THAT disgusted by the sight of the Leopard 2A4 with Kontakt-1 ERA that it was necessary to flag-spam the post after 5 minutes?

I mean, I get that the thing looks odd, but… come on.

I mean it’d be a neat way of adding new strike drones to the game

A jet drone would be very interesting, for sure.
But I was thinking more about stuff like the Milkor 380 or the Elbit Hermes

Helicopters are a difficult topic, hahah.

On the one hand, fire-and-forget missiles are overpowered, plain and simple.

On the other hand, we DO already have some helicopters equipped with these.

Therefore, the only logical course of action is to provide every nation with helicopers equipped with such missiles for the sake of balance; because the only thing more unfair than an OP weapon, is for this weapon to be exclusive to a few nations only while others do not have anything equivalent.

That’s also why I support Brimstones getting a FnF mode too. Would they be OP? Maybe. But so are KH-38s and whatever Rafale’s weapon of doom is called, yet here they are. So it would be fairer if the Brimstone-equipped nations got something similar instead of what they have currently got.

That being said- all of this should only come ALONGSIDE with more capable SAM and SPAA systems for every nation. Last thing we need now is for C*S to get even more powerful while we still don’t have true land counters to these.

I don’t think there currently would be a way to give all of the nations in-game access to Helis with FnF

Though Gaijin could work on making the Hellfire Laser+IOG work properly…

Well;

Currently:
-Germany: PARS 3 LR
-Italy: Spike ER
-France: Spike ER
-Israel: Spike ER

Could receive:
-U.S: AGM-114L
-U.K: AGM-114L
-Japan: AGM-114L
-Sweden: AGM-114L
-China: AKD-21

I don’t know about Russia, but, honestly, Vikhrs are still quite oppressive and seem to be doing fine compared to AGM-114Ks, for example.

This tree would be crazy. I’d be so happy if they added it. Maybe one day…

You forgot about this guy.
Hint: Look at the tail

HJ-10 is ground launched wire guided, isn’t it?

There is the AKD-21 though

7 out of 10 is a good enough quota I guess

However, I’m pretty sure the AGM-114Ks could work fine if the Laser+IOG was better modelled

Only the AFT-10 variant is wire guided, but yeah, all HJ-10s are ground launched

That being said, it would be a massive disservice to the HJ-10 if it was modelled like a basic SACLOS or FnF ATGM, considering how many sensors and guidance methods it does support (though it wouldn’t be unusual for Gaijin to just butcher it)

Oh, maybe! Only started getting into Chinese weapons a couple of months ago, so it’s still new grounds to me and I may get stuff wrong until I am more familiar with it, hahah.

There is the LMUR for Russia, don’t know much of anything about it, just looking to fill in the gaps in that list through Wikipedia xD

I am not sure why you censor CAS lol, but yes, we need better SPAA.

However, I think the issue is actually we need cheaper CAP spawns. You should be able to at least first spawn in an aircraft with IR missiles, it should be that cheap.

We’re getting to a point where you can’t just not level and play aircraft at top tier. The best counter to CAS will always be CAP. I think that’s a good thing because it creates dynamic gameplay where planes fight planes just like tanks fight tanks.

You could probably add Japan too with AGM-114L

*Japan as well

8, actually! I just learned Japan’s AH-64JDP can use AGM-114L too.

Was just editing it indeed, hahahahah.

EDIT again: and Sweden too, so yep, only Russia left now!

The Blackhawk can carry the AGM-114 so in theory Sweden could get it, if the UH-60 was ever added
