I am betting on the new jet either being an F/A-18F or F-16C PoBit. Mostly an F/A-18F though.
The thing is, we don’t know if Gaijin just acts AIM-120D = 14.7.
Same way that we don’t know yet if they move the J-10C to 14.7 due to PL-12A.
“These would all be welcomed additions, especially the LAV-600, but the tanks you listed don’t fill the role the LAV-25 would. The LAV-600 would probably be an equal or higher BR than the stingray, seeing as how it mounted the stingray turret on a wheeled chassis. The LAV-300, V-150, and V-200 would all be unstabilized, 90mm heat slingers, and would fill a role more similar to the AML. The LAV-25 would be a first of its kind in the US TT in two ways. One being that it is a wheeled IFV, not yet seen in the US TT, and the other being, filling a BR gap in the light tank line of the US TT.”
So you want something that can’t destroy most tanks frontally over vehicles that can, just because it’s a wheeled IFV? I don’t follow. I suggested vehicles that would fit in the 7.0-9.0 range.
The LAV-600 doesn’t need to have the exact same ammunition as the Stingray (see: Vickers Mk11 as an example) and can slot in at a lower BR.
I doubt it’d be the F/A-18F, that one’s just a copy of the E so I don’t think they’d highlight it in the CM. Especially with the wording they used, I’d expect an actually new aircraft (a F-15EX or a F-16C PoBIT, most likely)
They’d probably just add the F to UK as well, so they wouldn’t say “American”

A new light IFV, hmmm, let’s use the process of elimination:
France recently got the EBRC
The UK just acquired the reconnaissance version of the Ajax, the CRV
Germany has plenty of advanced IFVs (PUMA Vilkas)
Italy also has a wealth of IFVs (Freccia ×2, Lynx)
Sweden also has many varieties of CV90
Israel has two Namers, and the IFV version of the Eitan is not yet in service
The US is severely lacking in advanced IFVs. The M3A3 is already too outdated, and the M2A4E1 equipped with APS should be one of the options. Although its performance in WT may not be outstanding, it… seems like there’s currently no really good choice?
The Dragoon only has a 30mm autocannon, the XM30 program has yet to yield results. Of course, if I could get a Griffin III, that would be fantastic, though that possibility seems very small… OvO
Russia hasn’t received a high-BR IFV for a long time. The BMDs we “recently” got are only 9.7 vehicles, and only one BMD-4M2 is available as Silver Lion. My BMP-2M is about to fall apart. Obviously, I guess Kurgenets is coming soon. It has two versions; the 57mm version is more “ferocious,” and the Kurgenets-25 is the basic model. I don’t know how they will be arranged, for example… Silver Lion ×1, Advanced Pack ×1? XD
I think the above two countries TT is the most likely
China also lacks advanced IFVs. The ZBD04A obviously cannot handle high-BR battles. I’m really looking forward to getting new ones, but I don’t know how the data can be ‘artificially fabricated’ lmao.
Japan doesn’t have any advanced IFVs with ATGMs. I can’t think of a suitable alternative for now. Indonesia’s Cobra (Pandur II) doesn’t have ATGMs, and the other IFVs in the tech tree are too outdated. How should this be dealt with。。。。

Gripen E’s radar also has longer range than the Typhoon too at the moment
and if its too strong, then they can add Meteor to balance things back out again.
Sorry if you’ve already answered it but with AIM-120D coming is it going to be locked specifically for the new US jet or will some other US aircraft get it too like the F-15C GE, F/A-18E, F-15E?
At the moment, we can say for sure that a new US jet coming to the game will have it. Beyond that nothing is fully final at this point in time.

That profile picture looks terrible.
Gaijin, idk who you contracted for this but i’d love to take a peek at their artstation to laugh my ass off.
Didn’t even bother cleaning up the text on the book (why is it a book??), jesus christ.
Yes and no. Most auto cannons can’t destroy things frontally, this is why they are typically mounted on mobile platforms. The LAV-25 has a top speed of 60mph I believe, so you would be using that speed to get around the enemy, not face them. We have a light tank at 9.7, 9.3, 8.7, 8.3, 8.0, and then there is a gap to 7.0. The idea would be to fill that gap, and provide a play style not yet found in the US TT.
I don’t like the idea of limiting a vehicles capabilities for the sake of putting it somewhere. I 100% understand why you would do this if you genuinely had nothing to put in that space, but there is also 100% another vehicle that would be as capable as an LAV-600 with fewer ammunition choices, without removing from its capabilities, that the US developed.
If your talking Enlisted that’s developed by a different company published by Gajin since it uses Gajin assets
200 vs 230km iirc
Best sources for the ECRS at the moment is just 200+, so in-game its 200
Iırc they nerfed the JAS39E’s radar range to 180km.
Hmm… In that case it would be less, i thought it was still 230
Nah i remember it was reported and got fixed pretty quick during dev server, when it was first added it was better than CAPTOR-E tho.
I thought the best available docs for the Raven (I think thats the right radar name?) was 230km.
Interesting
