Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Hawk T1.A, Typhoon T.3 (as an alternate to the FGR.4, like the 16D for israel) and harrier GR.9 are on my wishlist for UK aircraft

India, i dont want much, gnat PLEASE! SU-30MKI for being a “copy-paste”, Tejas for unique. Perhaps a MiG29K as a gap between the FA2 and F35B.

South africa, Cheatah C and D (D has a better engine and, ofc, looks better). perhaps a south africa modification of the hawk as well?!?!

Australia. F/A-18 OR, i would prefer the canadian CF-188 since its more unique. but UK doesnt have any claim too these 2, we can dream tho

Im glad i’ve already gotten the ADATS and managed to skip that grind entirely. I quite like the Stormer and so wouldnt use either anyway

At least it isn’t bumped to 4.0 as one poor boat. Most Frigates suck compared to destroyers, but this one is on another level.
Try to prove to Gaijin that it’s wrong they will never listen to feedback of naval player, especially about coastal fleet, while statistics will never show it, just because there are too few people playing them.
It’s also interesting if AI controlled vessels data is considered during BR changes, if it’s, then nations like France and Italy (Japan at lesser degree) have close to 0 chance for br to be changed, because even smart AI rarely (almost never, probably due to some assigned order) use vessels of these nations.

oh yeah Im glad I have the stormer HVM and the ADATS

Assuming that was identical the Mig-23BN in the German tree. I dont entirely see how. Considering we already have the Jaguar GR1 and could get the TSR2 for about that BR as well

For the 9.0-10.0 part of the tree. I think its actually not too bad, but in desperate need of bug fixes like the 2-3 year old reports for SRAAM.

After that, aircraft like the Gnat and Hawk would round that part of the tree out nicely.

The actual weakspot in the TT imo, is the lack of an F-5/Mig-21 equivalent supersonic dogfighter for 10.7 ish. But for that I would suggest something like the SA Mirage IIIE or SA Cheatah rather than anything from India. Either that or a SARH slinging Hawk as it would have PD but be sub-sonic at the lower BR

@Smin1080p_WT

Thank you for providing some feedback on the ongoing request for Air RB EC.

As the rumors and leaks rollout, one of the rumors is a “Strategic Bombing Mode” being researched. I feel like the addition of Air RB EC could also address Strategic bombers since EC can provide some room for these bombers to operate.

If i make some assumptions and attempt to read between the lines of what you said, I would imagine that Gaijin is considering adding Air RB EC as a “weekend only” event like Naval EC. That would be better than nothing but certainly not what many of us hoped for.

Thanks again for the response though. Hope to hear something more about RB EC in the future.

isnt that identical to the Mig-29 and therefore would be 12.7 and so lower than the FA2?

If you want a “naval” fighter to bridge that gap, you are better off with an F-18 from Canada or Australia.

No, its better than the Mig-29SMT, can carry up to x8 missiles, would be ~13.7.

MiG-29KR (9-41) from Russian Navy to soviet/russian naval aircraft line in the future

Oh, I completely forgot about them.
and seems a better idea than the Indian MiG-23BN.

And…

I also want TSR-2 badly but According to the current stance of Gaijin about us, I think we are not gonna get it.
Because TSR-2 can’t be C&P :/

This is what is also so maddening about “india”

South Africa is right there for Aircraft and actually unique aircraft not soviet C&P and yet… nothing but a badly modeled Gripen

Yeah… Unfortunately very true

Can’t wait for the moaning to start lol

The A+ and C should have nearly identical weapon loadouts (both can carry AMRAAMs). The C has better engines and depending on the version, better systems as well.

The E is larger, heavier, carries more fuel, has more hard points, stronger engines, and depending on Block could have more advanced systems than the C.

A few more SA vehicles they could have added. India should have been its own nation.

I think its worth avoiding the French C&P as much as possible, but yes, those I think would fit better than anything India has to offer and for the same reasons I think more Canadian and Australian vehicles should stick together so should South African stuff. Some people may very well want to use SA CAS/CAP alongside SA tanks

It also looks badass

mig29k-4

i really hope we get all the conversion trainers ingame, even if they are just worse version of the single seat ones.

We have an entire grind of vehicles that remove a single machine gun or change an engine and we grind though ranks and ranks of props. just to reach jets and get a single version of said jet. (T.7 hunter, T.4 lightning, T.4 harrier) these are just a VERY small few i could list. but this would diversify the aircraft and make room for swapping missiles out and changing up BRs for essentially the same vehicles (because loadout BR is very hard task)

I just think they look good, and would serve a purpose (br change because its got better / worse missiles or just dropping the BR because its got less guns (T.7 hunter ie)

I love the look of the Harrier T8
