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

They could spare upgrade 25 until after the SH is release in the US tree, that would be my guess. Would not make sense to have old cockpit and avionics within the Upg25 model.

  • Standard - Regular TT, BR13.7, AIM-120A, AIM9P4 (This update)
  • Upgrade21 - Premium, BR14, AIM-120B, AIM9P5(M) (This Update)
  • Upgrade25 - Regular tech tree, AIM120C7 (Later)

Yeah, most probably due to the fact that these SPAAs are usually accompanied by other Spyders, planes, other AAs and powerful radars. Not to mention that the game doesn’t portray realism at its perfection (which is of course not a problem).

The tldr still is only you arent happy with the role the chinese spaa has been given and are searching for complaints for the other nations spaa and try to dismiss things as you want.
The type 625e still has important and great capability in interception of armament and ground flier defense
The minimum engangement range does matter atbthe end of the day. There is many maps where the type 625e would have thw advantage in defense there.
You wiuld need a completly flat map fpr the others to always be save

that’s your imagination. and I’ve also worried about SW IRIS-T SLS, which will have a much shorter effective range, which possibly can’t deal with planes in 8km away.

wowowow

that sound slightly overkill

I doubt they will release a premium hornet with amraams at 14.0 this update, like massive doubt.

If we see 2 swiss hornets this update it’s either 2 TT ones at 14.0 or a TT one with IR and ARH missiles and a premium version with only IR missiles.

Or gajin does the normal gsjin move of, it does have the ability to use this armament so it can get them. Even if switzerland never used sparrows. If switzerland gets sparrows, they might as well give it A2G armament.

Same justification used for EFTs, mig 29s etc

Gaijin has already shown that balance between new SPAA isn’t that much of a concern. Just look at the Elde 98 and CS/SA5 that were just announced. The CS/SA5 is already miles better.

Its very likely that GJ does not do what we hope that they would and we will ask ourselfs once more, why, why why GJ??

That would not make sense, but eventually it comes in worse. They only give it AIM9s. GJ is always good for a stunner. Look at Netz. All issues were fixed in a premium Netz.

U gotta remember, there is 2 hoenets. One top tier, 1 premium.

The premium is what we are discussing.
Gajin putting imaginary stuff there sounds normal. Specialy since germany is missing Cas multirole fighter aircraft

as long as one is an F/A-18D we ball. An IR only F/A-18 would be interesting but i cant imagine it being stellar at anywhere above 12.0 (especially only aim9p)

Going back at this, if the SLM with the 40 Km engagement range were to be added, the Spyder could technically be given the I-Derby ER which would technically give it a 40 Km engagement range. It is to be noted that it should be able to carry both Pythons and Derbys at the same time, so it’d be at the user’s discretion whether they went with more Derbys or more Pythons.

Why would we want an trainer 2 seater hornet?
Wont happen, if gajin can reuse models they will

The spyder aio csn only carry 4 missles at the same time.

Yes 4 not 8. 8 is only on models etc. It was never realised. Its a huge restrictipn if you wanna mix loadouts

Variation. Its cool to see the different versions, and the 2 seater hornet is pretty iconic imo.

I never said it could carry 8 missiles, however with 4, it can still do the combination of missiles.

Yeah wont happen, gajin doesnt realy do 2 seaters if it can be avoided

There was a bigger discussion about the number, thats why i said it.
But yeah still big restrion.
Would have to think hard about it

Yeah the only way a premium swiss hornet would work is either IR only or like you said IR+SARH.

ARH missiles would instantly make it 14.0 (seeing previous trends) which is (for now) off limits for premiums.
