Whatever they will be testing, it’s not going to be super obvious. So, even if they are testing mechanics for a new mode, the April Fools mode doesn’t have to resemble a SEAD, Strategic Bombing, World War mission or whatever mode.
Of course, if they have you take control of vehicles that have complex equipment on trailers it is going to be easy to tell what they are testing though.
However, there is also a possibility that they aren’t going to test anything this year, as not every April Fools event was also a test for something new. Or it could be something fairly insignificant, like last year.
The name “KAI-50” is strangely prevalent in the WT forums, and I remember laughing out loud when I saw the name “KAI-50” in a “leak” that someone had made using Discord and posted here.
I don’t know where you’d put this one tbh, it’s a harrier 2 without a TGP
The T.10 does everything this one would do with a TGP
I guess it could be a Shar FRS.1 (Late) equivalent at the same BR?
I’m really not sure why a Harrier GR.5A would even be added. Sure, it would be nice to have a Harrier II between the GR.3 and the GR.7, but the GR.5A, at least to me, is too limited in its capabilities.
I would rather see them remodel the current GR.7 to the GR.7A and add another GR.7 with more limited load out options (AIM-9Ls instead of Ms, less advanced Mavericks, less BOL like they did for the T.10)
though I would quite like to see them swap the T.10s Mk107 engine out for the Mk105 (which would be a nerf) but swap the Gr7 out for the Gr7A just for the Mk107. I think the higher BR version should have the better engine. Not the other way round.
That being said. the Mk107 engine would also be a core part of the Gr9A. So would be good to leave it.
The T.10 is a premium. There is nothing wrong with a TT vehicle being basically the same.
About the engine, I absolutely believe that a 12.3 Harrier deserved to have the Mk 107. The GR.9 might be less special then, but they have other things they can do to make it a notable upgrade over the GR.7A.
seeing as we have a T.10 in the game filling this spot now, we dont need any others filing the same spot (or worse). In a perfect world i would love that, but Hawk T1.A and Gnat should be added next!!!
If the T.10 wasn’t a premium I would agree, but it sadly is a premium.
The Hawks and Gnats should come either way, but the Harriers have a special spot due to their ability to land and rearm at heli pads.
That’s a F-111A ish equivalent that would probably be about 9.7/10.0
Maybe? But given we already have the FRS1 as an SQV near that BR, it doesnt make sense. Maybe as an event vehicle, but I think there is a gap in the tree for it.
Yeah… Im on the fence whether we should be strapping ARH to another sub-sonic just for the sake of it. Kinda hope they restrict the Hawk’s loadout to keep them below 11.3 ish for a good long while and then maybe explore adding one with C5s and ASRAAM
9.0 version with no missiles but 30mm gun (Hawk T.1A early)
10.7 version with 2 aim9L and 30mm gun (amx counterpart) (Hawk T.1A Late)
13.0 version with ASRAAM (Hawk T.2)
13.0 single seat with Aim120 and radar (Hawk 200)
