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

The thing is, it doesn’t have to offer anything over the Australian one, as not both of them need to be 14.0.

They’ll likely be implemented exactly the same as the US Hornets. Australian base F/A-18A will likely be 12.3 like the US one, one of the CF-188 or F/A-18A(late) will likely be the 12.7 premium and the last remaining one will be the 14.0 DOA tech tree version (mostly C&P from the US 18C(late)).

There is no reason to believe that the commonwealth Hornets will be implemented any differently than this.

EDIT: An AESA equiped legacy Hornet would also kill any hype or need for the Super Hornet, which they can now add to both the US and UK trees, so that would be shooting themselfs in the foot big time.

It should have a 2 minute reload, but judging by the Sturmtigers unrealistic reload time, I would expect the M55 to have a ~60 second reload instead

4497

Pretty sure, yeah. Instead of getting stuff from the subtrees Gaijin would rather give us copy paste vehicles from filler nations.

Gonna love seeing stuff like the Cheetah and Tejas being denied because Britain has “too many vehicles” at that rank.

M107? It only fired HEAT and HESH, and T58 was built for low velocity, not sure it would even be able to fire M107.

4503

high chance they artificially nerf it

I mean even at 5 seconds reload it would be an absolute meme machine.

4505

100%, it will probably be closer to like 10.

I mean it is a premium so if anything that gives Gaijin more incentive to give it a decently fast reload.

Now if it was a tech tree vehicle I agree it would likely be nerfed harder.

4507

T180 is the same cannon as T7 used on T30, the only difference is a muzzle brake. In game T7 is capable of firing M107
And Hunnicutt states that it used HE with 43kg mass, which is VERY close to M107

And yes, HESH round has a different weight, so this HE is not HESH

It’s funny because I literally just read that it’s basically got a gun off a T30, that’s my bad.

Unfortunately, the recent changes with T29 kind of go against this idea.

Gaijin tends to not-nerf new premiums for a 1 or 2 major updates
T29 is like…9 years old?
And on it’s release there was a “mistake”. It had 0 chance to get ammo rack.

4511

The T29 was also stupidly strong, borderline overpowered even, how it was at 7.0.

It was either this reload nerf or a BR increase to 7.3.

4512

Are you aware of the timeline of the ATF program? the F-22 had several major changes in the air frame which often made it considered another aircraft from the YF-22. All prototypes at this stage was best effort and were not considered anything of a final product. Most in part because it was a last minute change for flying prototypes to be built that would fly and hit certain perimeters that would placate congress for development of an stealth fighter.

Northrop promised a lot of advanced changes for the actual fighter aircraft in their bid. While Lockheed bid a much more grounded and less likely to overrun in development.(Which it still did.)

At the end of the day I find this conversation weird for a discussion about an aircraft having 1 less missile capacity than the YF-22 competition.
