Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

pantsir is not used for this IRL. It’s a SPAA used for defending targets from enemy missile/bombs. so they will buy others to defend planes.

@Smin1080p_WT Is the Clovis stabilized?

It appears stabilized in the video in the devblog but doesn’t mention in the article unless I missed it

Yeah, given F16Is had no trouble doing so, neither should J10CE with similar if not better equipment.

What chassis is that?

Probably Friday but it’s not confirmed

Hope this longer term ends soon, Isreal never had potent toptier spaa and u feel it more than ever with the lovely CAS powercreep last year.

Come to think about it…

Yesterday, we compared Modern vs WW2 ground additions in 2024; 7 vs 28. Huge disparity.

However, the disparity between Modern Ground vehicles and Top Tier jets is even more enormous. Let us compare:

Modern Top Tier (11.0-12.0) vehicles:
-Leopard 2A7HU
-Leopard 2A6NL
-Leopard 2A5NL
-Leopard 2A4M CAN
-Al-Khalid I
-Namer Trishkon
-HQ17
Total: 7

Modern jets (13.0-14.0):
-Kfir C.10
-SU-33
-Eurofighter Typhoon (x3)
-Rafale C F3
-JAS-39C (x3)
-JF-17
-J-10A
-F-16C Barak II
-F-14A IRAF
-SU-27SM
-J-11A
-F-16AM
-F-16A
-F-15J(M)
-F-15C MISP II
-Baz Meshupar
-F-4F KWS LV
-AV-8B+
-SU-25SM3
-MIG-29
Total: 24

Like… bro. Rank VIII Ground made its “big debut” in December 2023, and we’ve only got 5 Rank VIII vehicles (2 of which are copy-pastes of former Rank VIIs we had since 2019) since then; meanwhile, Air Top Tier has got 24!!! planes…

And it appears the first update of 2025 will once again be disproportionately focusing on Air Top Tier…

Low Tier Ground got 28 vehicles; Top Tier Air got 24… and Ground Rank VIII only 5 after its “big debut” back in 2023.

I believe it should be understandable that Ground Top Tier enthusiasts are beginning to feel frustrated about being shifted like this. Specially when, leaving aside new additions, 90% of the already ingame ones have bugs, issues and inaccuracies still unresolved after a very long time… it feels like it’s practically abandoned. Which is why I get triggered when I see people saying that “Gaijin put too much focus on Ground Top Tier”, because it’s just not true.

It never fails to surprise me the irony that can be had in the same post by some people, ask for unique stuff, also asks for C&P…
