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

@Morvran

But whilst the US got 3 new aircraft last major. The UK got 1 and France got none.

This major, its looking like neither Britian nor France is going to get a single new aircraft again.

britain and france still have arguably better fighters anyway though

[Deathmisser]

@StormRyder13

I normally agree with Death, and would if the convo was the US asking for almost anything else.

As I say I was teasing, my true option is Idrc about SPAA’s as they are the least played vehicles of mine

[quartas121]

Look at the amount of B-52 variants there are

[ItsOnyy]

You are not hitting anything with the VT-1 past 7-6 kilometers if the target is maneuvering, both are almost equal in that regard, the only tragedy here is the lack of a tracer on the MIM-146.

And the 50G pull is for the first 3 seconds of the motor burning, it drops to like 20g past 5km and 12g past 8km.

But the US, UK and many others need new SPAAs(and are justified in asking for some). So his point here doesn’t fit, as it’s not an area they got large numbers of, well, other nations were left out to dry despite there being possible additions.

i doubt SLAMRAAM is coming soon, probably winter event
they need to fix alot of old spaa regardless, new spaa doesnt mean old spaa getting neglected

[Morvran]

Eh… I dont know. I dont think it would be off by that much tbh. Maybe 2x but more because USAF and USN. But Britain made a lot too. If nothing else, there is certainly no need for some nations to go 2-3 updates with no aircraft and the US to get 4 or 5 aircraft over the same period of time because “they made mroe stuff”

Heck, if we applied that to naval. The UK would get 2 new ships every single major update

i actually CAN hit manuvering target at 6-7km with the MIM-146
thats if they dont sling kh-38mt at me

[PyroAddict]

@MrBombastic8

new spaa shouldn’t* mean old spaa getting neglected

Gaijin is actually capable to neglect big time

[Morvran]

@Pvt__Wade

britain and france still arguably have better fighters anyway though

So Britain cant get the Fairey Barracuda at BR 2.0 because we have the Typhoon at 14.0?

Thats a pretty weak arugment tbh,

And the US has the F-15C, F-15E, F-16C and F-18C. What more could they possibly want for Top tier. Whislt im still waiting for the Typhoon to get its placeholder radar replaced

[TheAceOfAces]

@Morvran

Like for a naval focused update, something like the Fairey Barracuda or Mosqutio

Or Sea Hornet N.F.21 my beloved

[Smugspite]

that does not change the VT-1 is better, the fact is germany shouldn’t be the only 40km SAM but here we are a far better option would have been to give everyone their SAMs that get to 20-25km to test these new features and then push the limit with a 40km SAM which most nations also have options for but instead gaijin has decide to jump straight to 40km which is a terrible idea

[MrBombastic8]

@PyroAddict

Gaijin is actually capable to neglect big time

exactly which is why im pissed, they add new spaa so they dont have to care about older spaa, because “grind new spaa so u dont have to deal with old spaa”

[Deathmisser]

@quartas121 & @PyroAddict as for an apology I may not offer my hand as I may not get it back, but sorry for that harsh tease

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

@Caernarvon02

lmaoo

I mean, is it not true that U.S just made more airframe options that can be implemented to the game?

In the same timeframe U.S made the F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22 and F-35 airframes, U.K made… Tornado, Harrier and Eurofighter.

[quartas121]

Yeah I’m not against other nations getting their real equipment

And 2 ships an update for UK is not a bad thing imo

[Pvt_Wade]

@Morvran

So Britain cant get the Fairey Barracuda at BR 2.0 because we have the Typhoon at 14.0?

also Boulton Paul Defiant and spiteful

[Morvran]

@TheAceOfAces

Sea Hornet

Yeah, a really solid WW2 era (or at least something that would be BR7.0 or below in naval) alongside Vanguard as a decent Naval CAS would be perfect. Its why Id be quite happy with the Mosqutio with the 4k lb Cookie

[Caernarvon02]

theres 8 variants. theres as many hawker hunter marks.

if we go off of marks and variations of aircraft that can be added America wont be that much further ahead than British and french aerospace offerings

[PlayedStatue626-live]

And several other bombers like the Avro Manchester

@MythicPi

Statistically, the ADATS performs better in KDR, which suggests its doing a better job at the AA role:

ADATS has a 1.10 KDR and Flakrad has a 1.31 KDR against AIR TARGETS. It literally gives you the separate air and ground kills in your charts, but you were too lazy to even do the math on that so picked the total KDR which included ground targets.
