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

If the A-6E SWIP comes would SEAD come along side it?

Wouldn’t that be better suited for the EA-6?

Not at all what i’m saying.
I’m a mid-tier enjoyer and I’m not even past 8.7, and I’m not planning on going past 10.7 atm, so 11.0+ doesn’t really exist to me.
I’m going to refrase and ask “Does anyone think Sweden TT will get a half-decent MID TO LOW TIER vehicle? preferably TT”

As much as RB EC is requested, I wouldn’t say it is correct to say “WE ALL” on this.

Some people just want to play a few quick casual matches without these being a multi-hour compromise where your imput to the match outcome is even smaller.

I personally would like to have RB EC, but I don’t think we should use the “we ALL” thing for subjective stuff like this because it takes away credibility from the point.

Doesnt the EA-6B only has SEAD? If so I doubt something like that would come

They don’t have to remove standard air rb

If SEAD was coming, the EA-6 would be perfect since it focuses on SEAD and wouldn’t influence other parts of the battle

I know, and I didn’t say they had or suggested that they should- I just think saying “we ALL” is not something that should be said so often for subjective topics.

That’s fair

I feel like the A-6E SWIP would be used over the EA-6B because of the fact it can do other missions outside of exclusively SEAD but then again we don’t know. I feel like the EA-6B would be more of an event vehicle.

I think EA-6B is more likely for that reason. It’s really good for testing SEAD out because that’s all it does. But it easily could be an event vehicle

I think it will more than likely be the next air event vehicle.

They cant make roadmaps for the game. They plan to release one for the eSportsReady though

11th march (tuesday), my guess

I never saw A-6W SWIP equipped laser targeting pod

Legacy Hornet (F/A-18A/B & F/A-18C/D), Super Hornet (F/A-18E/F) and F-16C/D (Block 50/52) operate SEAD

I know it’s been said time and time again that AGM-114Ls and fire and forget Brimstones will not be added because they are radar-guided. But is there any consideration of adding them in an altered format where they function like any other IR fire-and-forget missile?

They can add JAGM-MR and latest gen SPIKE NLOS to apache and AH-1Z, but only JAGM-MR for the AH-1

It was asked, we were told no, they dont add loadout options with placeholder configurations. Despite doing so on a number of other weapon systems like the AJ168 Martel

Its really frustrating how much effort they are putting into denying the Typhoon a competitve AGM but do nothing to mitigate the Rafale or Su-34

Its especially annoying that the Typhoon didnt even get its historically accurate Brimstone 2s

I love how the US makes no middle ground for FnF missile. It either feels like your throwing a brick at some ranges while things like the JAGM-MR would have to much range lol.

I mean if they gave every aircraft there complete ATG capability the F15E would team wipe with one spawn.

There is also AGM-114R-4. But I don’t know for sure if helicopters can use it, so far only MQ-9
