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

I think Gnes and Sevestapol have to be seriously discussed as well in relation to a potential HMS Nelson premium.

They both should have a 70 second reload if they are being historically accurate.

@Smin1080p_WT Will the F16A MLU be repaired more thoroughly? Gaijin gave it FOX 3s which is very good but it lacks a lot of air-to-air weapons

AIM 120 C
AIM 9M/P4

but especially air-to-ground weapons

AGM-84L
AGM 65 G
AGM 65 D
Paveway II GBU serie
LANTRIN POD

Now that the MLU is in 13.3 why is it not similar in CAS to the Belgian F16 AM

We know which BAE Prototype Smin really wants.

But im still just really wanting a proper Mosquito

this would push it into a br where you dont want it. simple as that

how about the canberra that tested an afterburner

That would be fun. Though AF spawn at 8.7 doesnt sound fun

it is in 13.3 with FOX 2 without IRCCM, At this level I prefer to have it in 13.7 like the F16C but with AIM 9M and AIM 120C + GBU

Likely due to the fact that the UK getting a Hornet was a request long before they came to the game.

And it was said by BVVD that they’d look at the possibility of the UK getting a hornet at a later date(they said the same thing about Germany)

Tho we don’t know if it will truly be two Horents. (or any at all, after all, leak lists are never guaranteed)


Albeit I’m one of the ones who want a Hornet. The CF-188 joining the UK tree would do a number of things for me.

then what would be the point of the 16C

and on top of that it’s lighter than the F16C and performs better in dogfights so 13.7 doesn’t bother me

Does have some awesome skins. So Im guessing it will come with none

As I said, Gaijin does math on Soyuz(which is not a clever move), and follow manual on Iowa(which includes barrel elevation time). That’s why.

Not actually, unfinished ships reload were usually based on its design, since when RN Comandante Margottini was first added.
Actually, current Soyuz is case what you’ve said, as it does not get 2.5 rpm, which is best figure on her design.

Jesus. I supposse we are almost blessed, then, lmao

One can only dream

May I ask- what differences are there between Nelson and Rodney? Any improvements, considering a late war fit?

@SPANISH_AVENGER Besides, experience on using both Iowa and Soyuz for this update makes my thought confident, that Soyuz’s protection is what makes her shine.

And while there are no clear clue and way to nerf Soyuz’s protection, there are very one way to buff Iowa’s surviability to Soyuz’s level. Removing the barbette fire.
Barbette fire critically reduce firepower of Iowa as exploding its shell room, and even more critical, threatening it’s life on Bismarck and Roma because fire spreads to magazine.

If this mechanism is not removed, nothing will change of fighting against Soyuz, as she could have chance of explode enemy ship in the long range, where her flat trajectory shines, whatever Soyuz’s reload become.

A LOT more AA and there were some armour upgrades I think, but im not the best to ask for that

Apparently several FB Mk VI had a search radar added in Norwegian service, at least F-AG (pictured) and KK-E.

Looks like it have lost its machine guns, but retain the ability to carry rockets. And possibly other secondary armaments.

well as much to give the real armament of the F16 MLU whether it is 13.3 or 13.7 like the F16C or the F16 AM, the MLU will always have its flare problem so as much to find alternatives to make it just more competitive FOX 2 IRCCM = AIM 9M like the F16 C and AM at the same Br 13.7 and for the disadvantage of flare they can give it the AIM 120 C + GBU to make it more versatile since it is in a Br where all the planes are very versatile

finally I make a whole explanation but just F16A MLU = AM I prefer to have it in 13.7 with fox 2 IRCCM than in 13.3 without IRCCM without GBU without AGM 65 IR etc

100% agreed. Soyuz sometimes feels straight up imprevious to damage.

And, as you said, Iowa’s biggest weakness is barbette fires blowing up the ammo before you can even shut them down.

In general, I would just be happy if Soyuz’s armor was made more grounded- giving it Rolled instead of Cemented values would be enough.

As of now, I just don’t see the point of playing any other ship that isn’t Soyuz, being Iowa the only and closest true counterpart. Bismarck? Yamato? Vanguard ROMA? All of those are just Soyuz fodder.
