Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

No, I don’t think so

Don’t all other US options not really have enough range?

I doubt it, but iirc, the pilot/ground crew could issue a signal for it to self distruct if it were going for the wrong target

God I hope, why do we have the worst A4 in the TT

Does anyone know if the 4m proxy fuze radius on the Tracked Rapier is correct? Surely they wouldn’t put such a massive trigger radius on a missile with such a tiny warhead (it has like 115g of TNT equivalent more than the Stinger, just 655g, but a 400% larger trigger radius…)

You can pitbull the missile if you don’t have a radar. Technically you can do with a radar as well.

Feels like the damage of the Rapier missile is bugged in general at the moment, because it’s just super inconsistent.

I think the general theory is that the missiles are exploding too far away and thus doing basically no damage, which is what Khorne is asking about, whether the 4m Prox fuse is actually correct

I have researched it and in the test drive either it takes 4+ missiles to kill the IL-28 or the same IL-28 just dies in 1 missile.

It’s either one or the other with no inbetween, which is what I meant with inconsistent damage.

Yup, the heli is even harder to destroy with the Rapiers lol
My high score for hits on the IL-28 was 6 so far

Oh, and shoutouts to the missiles that randomly decide that they want to be dumbfire rockets instead

  • The F-86 with AIM-9B from USAF

  • F4D-1 & F11F-1 (early) to researchable tree

  • USN fighter aircraft 8.7 ~ 9.0 in the early rank VI before F3H-2 Demon

And the early domestic USN 1st gen fighter aircraft 6.7 ~ 7.0 before F2H-2

Battle rating 7.7 or 8.0 ? I’m not sure about it

Fill gap between F3D-1 and F-84F, maybe

At least 2 variants before F3H-2

AIM-120C-3 & AIM-120C-4 for 4 american fighter aircraft rank VIII

You kinda need to sneak the missile in avoiding the tail, wings, or rotors, preferably in such a way to reduce the distance at detonation. Easiest way is to get the target to fly into the missile.

India is with Britain

And that hardly makes any sense in the modern world. Speaking military, India is much closer to Israel than UK

Well it’s been confirmed like over 10 times at this point so it’s true

We still can hope… Also keep in mind France was in britain premiums before being a nation, there’s still some of their tech tree planes in the britain premiums
Things can change

Well as we understand subs, they are married into the parent nation i.e Britain can can’t be separated nor split between nations after an announcement

Yeah well india is a separate nation and doesn’t have more to do in the britain tree than in the israel tree. And Israel needs a tech tree waaaaay more
