For mid to high tier it was the best option, for top tier, there is already a native option that we’ve already discussed is way overdue.
So yea, telling Japan no F-2 for you, we have Gripen at home is kinda annoying, especially on the same update that introduced AESA fighters/gen 4.5 fighters.
I don’t want to really get into it since we’ve all talked about it before, but maybe in an update or two we’ll finally get our domestic CAS option (that I really only want to use for CAP anyway).
Good that it is gone. Next on the list is Ho-Ris which looks silly but cool. Hopefully they are gone by the end of the year alongside AJ.
Perhaps, still, would be nice to get one of the main 3 British IFV options first.
But yes, the DW is a poor counterpart to those found on other trees at the moment
almost made me feel like it was completely deleted off the game and not just pulled from research
dont forget the KH-38MT lol
I honestly wonder how they plan to do that… I always thought they’d replace it with the Type 99, now we have that and it’s still here.
I’m genuinely out of ideas how to replace it, considering the real Ho-Ri is much more in line with a ~6.3/6.7 BR, so that wouldn’t work either…
Maybe simply more 7.3 vehicles in general?
At least the prototype is simple though, plenty of 6.7 premium options like STA-1B/2B/4 or some Type 61 models.
They could probably go for a semi-historical Thai F-16A Block 10. They were bought for parts, but at least they got Thai camos and it’s the closest Thailand has.
For more a realistic one maybe Singaporean F-16A-30 could do it too since they basically had the same armament minus the SARH missiles. Or An early service Indonesian F-16A if Singapore’s too controversial.
It can be like the MLU, where one has limited weaponry and one in practice - similar to Chinese TT where the one that Taiwan actually operates isnt in the game - as the late one. Still a better choice than the OCU IMO.
As of heavy armor, I have no idea. But Sweden wasnt much better as well before kungstiger. Id suppose more support-oriented vehicles like jeeps with type 79 ATGM, a heavy but slow missile etc.
The Kungstiger was a cheap and easy way for gaijin to say yeah. We don’t care about Finland being accurate because Germany has it, so to call it even heres some tiger 2 that doesn’t bolster a lineup thats actually played. Enjoy, it never should have been added and its an insult to Germany and Finland to deny the KV-1B which would’ve given the 4.x lineup some much needed versatility over the TD but 16x scope on a Panzer 38t chassis, TD but worse than Sturer Emile and at a higher BR, and TD disguised as an SPAA that cant play as an SPAA, and a TD that is basically a gambling simulator as to whether your round nukes the vehicle or you get machined gun to death by a brisk breeze.
The OCU would be amazing with historical loadouts, 13.0 BR without AMRAAMs and some of the missing air to ground armaments. As soon as the ADF took the dedicated interceptor role, the Thai OCU became essentially a dedicated attack variant which is pretty unique.
Though with the OCU here I’d prefer not to see an identical OCU with less weapons at a lower BR. At least the parts bin Block 10s would be a bit different.
That’s why I prefer the Singaporean F-16s, they are unique since they’re the heavier and reinforced Block 30 airframe fitted to Block 15 spec, and with brake chutes. They’d be the worst early F-16 performance wise, but at least interesting. Similar for Indonesia, they also have break chutes, but still just regular Block 15 airframes.
Yeah, I’d just give up on armor. The Type 99 was a good SPG replacement, but for armor there’s nothing to go to 7.3
Personally I’d say Gaijin should just prepare some new 7.3 or two, not necessarily armored, just vehicles to make sure there’s still a lineup, and a realistic Ho-Ri for a lower BR and announce the replacement. We can wait for the perfect heavy TD to replace it, but then we’d wait forever.
Don’t worry, the snail will grant you the F-2… but without an engine or wings since we believe those are marketing lies. Also, USSR gets a new missile that uses wormhole technology to get to it’s target :]
Any new leak list?(not the one with the 737)
No, probably still 2 to 3 weeks out from any leaks
Any guesses on whats on for discount during the VE day sale? Besides the WW2 aces bundle ofc.
OCU loadouts currently are genuinely so weird. GBU setup is an utter mess, likely arbitrary as well. Why wouldn’t it be able to sustain >500lb GBU’s in the wing root pylon? I don’t understand.
What you don’t believe we are possibly getting a 737?
We gonna get the 737 as an awacs, trust ^^
Next week is VE day so we’re probably going to get a Legends of Victory event. So expect another soviet vehicle that was in service during the war. The event cycle does indicate the next one will be naval but I could see them doing a plane or ground vehicle anyway. The KV-1 (1942) that was in some leaks and datamines could be it tbh.
Tbf id really like some more flame tank. KV-8 seems like a good one, not that the L-11 is much better than 45mm.
Where my F14D (Day 999 of asking)
Soon tm
