french mains, while annoyed, feel honoured by the recognition given to french made items by our bri’ish counterpart, which considering the perspective for homegrown material in the british tree, is somewhat understandable
(ok ok no bonk, i was just doing a little bit of trolling, as someone said earlier, old habits die hard, and british stuff ain’t that bad :P)
The last time this was advertised was by the Chinese, who claimed that their tank’s armor KE is 1000mm XD
No F-2 next uodate would be sin by gaijin.
It would, but it feels unlikely, really want the F-2 and J-11B next update
It being a bomb at the core doesn’t matter for the classification. For the game the important thing is that it is self propelled and guided. If it didn’t have the engine attached it would count as a guided gravity bomb, but it does have the engine, so it counts as an Air-to-Ground Missile.
No shit, the Mavericks and the new AASM Hammers don’t fly fast either and neither do regular glide bombs.
The Tornado GR.1 is at 11.3, which is appropriate for the kind of armament it has. If you want to use AGMs at a lower BR, there is the Buccaneer S.2B at 10.3 with its Martels.
if there is a ground focused update, given it has beeen a while, it becomes less likely otherwise its pretty certain.
Yeah, if we get an air focus then F/A-18C, SU-30SM, and F-2 would all make sense, but if it’s ground focused then we’ll be lucky to get any top tier aircraft at all, and I suspect it will be ground focused
I HOPE it is ground focused for once…
Would be nice if the update was gonna be focussed on fixing the CAS problems
You’re right. I vote to remove all SPAA in the game so CAS can go unopposed.
Finally someone who gets it
Because it’s a bomb, gaijin by default gives a reset limit of 1.0, at the same time, due to its modeling as an AGM, it was easily destroyed by AA until recently, but not by GBU-15 or AGM-62
Maverick doesn’t smoke because of the booster’s fast consumption, so it’s a bit harder to shoot it down
Hammer doesn’t fly straight at the target, but flies along its own trajectory, which makes it harder to intercept and notice
In addition, both have a reset limit of 1.4, not 1.0
Tornado is worse in armament than MiG-27M or F-4E with 11.0 and sits on the same BR with Su-24M and Kurnas-2000
and it flies worse than all these planes
11.0 would be fairer
Eh. PGM’s are alright if not a little too smoky. Still would like to see better lock range and better lofting characteristics.
I thought they didn’t loft because they’re just bombs with a small rocket to assist with glide slope, they don’t have the power to loft
How would that matter for GRB at all?
They do loft a little bit depending on the launch distance and angle
I mean air-to-surface weapons
What?
well yeah, so do GBUs if you throw them upwards, but the PGMs have a pretty low T/W for a missile, for the most part the rocket motor is only able to maintain a more sustained glide, but not actually to increase altitude any real amount without sacrificing significant range
what’s not clear?
Tornado flies worse and has worse weapons than Su-24M or Kurnas 2000, being on the same BR with them
