Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

They should bring back the radar gunsights for planes that have rangefinding radars.
I don’t get why they got rid of that mechanic anyways

Also, it was the only alternative to F-111K

They easily could’ve added it to US later but they gave it to UK because of the F-111K

What’s gonna be the Fools Event?
WW1 tanks?

Middle east sub for the US lol

It’s impossible to guess, but my dream event would be either an improved version of the mech/walker mode or a medieval fantasy mode with catapults, ballistas, trebuchets and cannons as tanks and dragons as planes

Would be a real shame if someone set fire to that wooden contraption

look, US can get this:

actually made in 'Murica! … yes its real … can move … has been identified as a tank … there’s footage of it shooting

and ‘yes’ to below:

Half of those 8.0s shouldn’t even be at 8.0. And the other half of 8.0s and even 7.7s would fly circles around the F3D, because they’re Sabres and MiG-15s.
The Swift F.7 shouldn’t be at 8.7 either, that’s ridiculous. There’s no plausible reason to put a fat tub like the F3D above 8.0 unless you’re just being malicious. No, being theoretically capable of reaching 500 knots doesn’t justify putting it at the same battle rating as the A-4 Skyhawk. Which is better than the F3D in every conceivable way.
8.0 is the highest it should go, no matter what. Any higher is just adding a plane that’s beyond DoA for the sake of punishing anyone who was excited for it.

I mean, fair, but I’m just going off of what the BRs currently look like, even if they are extremely compressed and outdated

why is the F-84F 8.3 in air battles

Because Gaijin

I’ve got an even better question: Why do the Saab 105G/OE and the US F-84F deserve to keep their airspawns when all the other strike planes at or above 8.3 lost their airspawns?

Aye, I suppose that’s fair. I’m not thinking the Gaijin way. Asinine tech trees and battle ratings are their specialty, I could never hope to match them.

Rank, what would you put in place of the saabs for their rank? Move the saabs down in rank makes them completely irrelevant considering they are the worst striker fighters since they are a trainer aircraft. Move their effective research down would make them essentially more irrelevant to air players than they already are.

(If you lose in a fighter to a 105 or SK60 its a severe case of skill issue)

Is this asymmetric bomber spawn a bug?

Spoiler

That’s the thing. The rank shouldn’t determine wether or not a plane deserves an airspawn.

The US F-84F gets an airspawn, but all the other F-84Fs don’t.
The Vautour IIN (Late) gets an airspawn because it is the only aircraft in the game designated as a Jet Fighter/Interceptor (it even gets a unique colour for its marker, symbol and designation), but the bomber Vautours have to take off from the airfield.
The Buccaneer S.1, which struggles to even take off from the airfield when it is loaded can’t get an airspawn either, just because it is above rank 5.

They really should rethink the way they distribute airspawns and maybe give more planes the Jet Interceptor designation while they are at it.

I noticed that too. But didnt recheck. Felt like it was the last 2 or 3 just didnt guide

Tbf if you have played it it suffers from being slower than F84 so getting to a base to do your main job is almost impossible additionally you aren’t good at fighting or running away. Its essentially got one strong point imo its not worth playing for air considering id rather play literally anything but tonado part 2 but worse.

Ill add though i dont agree with the system to remove rank considering the many other bombers that get screwed over and the system needs to be reworked entirely.

It’s definitely not always the last ones, from my experience it usually happens to the 6th and 7th ones
