Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

20 GBU-39’s ingame, they made the GBU-53 (successor to GBU-39) which has GPS, MMW, IIR, LASER, and IOG guidance. The F-15E can also carry 28 of them.

I think we absolutely need them ASAP since 3 nations get 18x brimstone on a fighter, and 2 have high performance IR+IOG/GPS munitions

I forgot the 4 your right. And no we don’t need them ASAP we need better SPAA. I’ve went back to top tier ground this last patch for a little bit to be reminded why I don’t go there much anymore.

Well GBU53 is in the files so its probably not too far off from being added.

Ah shoot totally right, lemme fix that lmfao

You could fix the Heli grind pretty easily by:

  1. Significantly reducing RP requirements of Rank VI helicopters. 360k RP should be more like 200k.

  2. Foldering nearly identical vehicles. For example the only difference the Mi-24V and Mi-24P is that the P has a 30mm autocannon. They’re basically the same but it costs more than twice as much to progress to the Mi-35M/Ka-29 as a result.

  3. Make Heli PvE either an RB mode or simply increase the rewards gained. 15-20k RP a game sounds nice on paper until you realize it takes over an hour to get. This is low even compared to Gound RB (which has comparatively lower rewards than Air RB) where I have knocked out over 300k RP in a day.

If that’s true than Israel better get SPICE 250 ERs to compensate!

typical spice 250 is fine, ER has jet engine which unbalances it again

M1A2 SEPV3 with third layers of bricks maybe?

But that’s what makes it fun :)))

That or if they add helicopters to Air Sim they could add a button to put RP from planes in helicopters like what was done with tank RP going to helicopters.

If you get spice 250 er, we get AIM-260

That doesn’t exist yet… and it’s for air to air, not air to ground :)))

It’s been tested already, entering service this year, it 100% exists. If you want to talk a2g, then JASSM-ER for F-15E, spice 250 ER for israel

I would be surprised if the v3 comes next update. Although it is long overdue.

it’s APDS, all Chinese ground cannon uses APDS and no APFSDS, except the new 30mm cannon in the new 8X8 wheeled IFV(maybe also others, but not sure)

Honestly. Before they even think about adding new MBTs, they need to finish MBTs added 5 years ago and I think for the most part, MBTs arent really the problem, its everything else on the tree that needs additions first

What do you mean? The SEPv3 is the only way forward for US ground, what other additions would be more important for top tier

Top tier SAM, additional IFV options, maybe a better Heli?

Also, would the SEPv3 fix any of the fundemental issues with the any of the other Abrams? Or just be another vehicle awaiting the same fundemental issues to be fixed?

I forgot about SAM, your completely right about those.

But IFV? None of the possible ones off the top of my head would be top tier. As for heli’s, I think they should add early AIM-9X to AH-1Z instead of any fixed wing aircraft, they could add the AH-64E which would bring JAGM and new gen Spikes to US.

The SEPv3 has visibly more armor, and has trophy aps which will help it.
