Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

it depends on the variant the CTAS Boxer is probably closer to the EBRC being a wheeled platform with the 40mm and good ATGMs

You’ll take your UK-used M44 and will like it.

Gaijin please let the other that could get it, get it don’t keep it to just Japan

It’s a domestic South African missile, Gaijin originally planned on it being added a good bit ago but changed their minds. Now I guess they’ve changed their minds again.

huh at least its gonna bring the UK to the same range as most other nations top SAMs

And that only one of the 3 missiles.
Rest can be found here, or in my G6-HVM/Cactus (SAHV) suggestions.

Depends on the BR really, the effective range of the missile is 12km which puts it up with the 11.7 SAMs, but eh, I’m kinda hoping it comes in at 10.7 or so due to the not great maneuvering at alt (only 6g at 20k ft/6.1 km. Down from the low alt 40g), but then again there’s both SALCOS, IR, and ARH missile available for it, depending on how Gaijin feels so could go quite high.

~160 ish mm pen at 0, iirc two Spike adjacent ATGMs? should be pretty good all things considered. Although it’s quite big, I was kinda hoping the Jaguar would come first, eh what can you do.

I like the ranking vehicles stuff.

the only issue I see is that it only has 4 missiles, at least they should have a 12km range (maybe 14.5km if gaijin is feeling nice because it only gets 4 missiles)

Sexton had heat, right?

12 is the guaranteed launch range, 14,5 is the max range. Basically if it is launched within 12km it should kill, over that maybe.
Example in game.

Hold on, come to think of it- how likely is it that F/A-18C won’t come this update after all? It’s not on the list, but I know lists don’t always necessarily show everything.

Asking because, if F/A-18C isn’t coming after all, I may as well finally play F-15C again, hahah. I haven’t played it in months to save the modification research bonuses; but if F/A-18C isn’t coming this update, I’ll just spend the bonuses on the F-15E line instead.

I bet it will come. The only reason it wouldn’t come is something insane for US is coming instead.
