No triple mav racks, sadly. USN/USMC never used them.
I believe just 2-4x Mavericks on the wing pylons (one per each), tops.
Shame I know Israel’s A-4F did mount triple racks.
Also wasn’t the reason USN/USMC never used triple racks because they never used AGM-65Ds.
Yeah. USMC/USN only ever used the AGM-65E (mid-80s) and AGM-65F (I think late-80s to early 1990s).
There was also the AGM-65C, but that was a prototype and never entered service (and was also laser-guided)
Yeah the warheads on those are too heavy for LAU-88s I am sure.

That one was actually compatible with the A-4M, as far as I know it was too heavy for the outer wing pylons but could take them on the inner wing quite easily. Mav Bs are also an option.
(Consider the fact that AGM-65E is nearly the same weight class as 65F by the way, which, in addition to the fire control solution with the newer cockpit of the A-4M, is perfectly doable)

Speaking of which- it’s basically the same as AGM-65G, right?
There’s most likely not going to be a vehicle reward
Victory in Europe (VE) Day is usually the first big 50% sale every year
They also tested more advanced wheel damage models in that one
When can we expect leaks for the upcoming update?
Usually there is something to talk about…
Summer update is going to be big and wild.
Lets hope for the F-2 and a North-Korean sub-TT for China.
Well, Olivias leaks happen very sporadically and aren’t necessarily about the next update in line and the other trusted leaks usually seem to happen a couple of days before the first devblog.
I wouldn’t expect any big leaks until late April/early May.
Yeah… sadgely.
I do hope the next update will fix some issues… Like a 14.0 aircraft for Japan, more and better SPAA and hopefully expanding the current sub-TT’s; like actual domestic BeNeLux, Finnish and Hungarian vehicles instead of the C&P.
What i do find weird is that France currently has BeNeLux, but Sweden has the most domestic BeNeLux vehicles… The BeNeLux sub-TT doesn’t even have the Fokker D.XXI variants yet, eventhough the Swedish TT has a few - same can be said about the Dutch K-2 ship in the German TT.
I mean, the K-2 ship is in the German TT because the Germany captured all three of the Dutch K-Class ships before they were even finished. The K-3 would be the only option for the French TT, as that one was recaptured and actually operated by the Dutch after the war.
There being more BeNeLux vehicles in the Swedish tree is because the Swedish tech tree is a lot older than the BeNeLux subtree and because Finland operated Fokker stuff.
The thing I am hoping for and kind of expecting are the promised new Anti Air vehicles.
Depending on whether or not we see lots of multi-part vehicles in the April Fools event tomorrow we might be able to gauge if those new AA vehicles will arrive in the next update or in the Summer update.

Leaks for the next update should come around early-mid May. The leeks for Seek & Destroy last summer came out on the 5th of May so I’d guess around the same-ish time this year.
We should also hear about the April Fools event tomorrow and then 2 weeks after we should hear about the next battlepass and probably the next vehicle event around then which should be an aircraft of lower BR.

really wonder what we can get for futur updates , considering it was confirmed no new tech-tree will come this year , and i dont really se a lot of really hype vehicle on the orizon individually

I would think we would get more sub trees this year I mean they did confirm that iirc
New Anti Air systems in form of multi-component vehicles is a big one.
One update will be centered around the Thai ground subtree for Japan, maybe there will be a Pakistani subtree for China as well.
The Indian subtree had no proper introduction update yet, so maybe one will come in the future, hopefully bringing some actually Indian vehicles with it (HAL Tejas, Rudra, Prachand, Marut, DRDO Arjun, etc).
As for hype vehicles, I could definitely see Gaijin adding an early F-22A this year and while the hype for LCAs (Light Combat Aircraft), Advanced Trainers and Strategic Bombers may not be as big as for something like the F-14, those would also include many, much anticipated aircraft.
For ground people seem to be rather hyped for the Oplot and K-2 and heck, maybe Gaijin is gonna go for the Armata, AbramsX and other such unproven designs soon. After all, they don’t model modern MBTs realistically anyways, so guesstimated specs on unproven tanks wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
And well, there also are some helicopters left to be added that would definitely be hyped up in form of the Wildcat, Comanche, Cheyenne and H135M/EC635 (or whatever it is called now)

I do doubt it to be honest. I think there’s still quite a few 4 - 4.5 gen aircraft left to be added before we start to see 5th gen, even if that 5th gen is an early/gimped version. We have stuff like F/A-18E, F-15EX, F-16E/V or 70/72, F-14D which I think will probably be added before we see 5th gen. But who knows really?
Stuff like Hawks, Gnat, A-4M, A-37, Yak-130 etc hopefully we will see some of these or things like these this year. They are long overdue right now and would be very welcome additions.
Yeah loads of helicopters that possibly can be added this year. The ACH-47A that was passed to the devs a while ago, the H145M, and in the last leak list including the AH-56 Cheyenne as an event vehicle so there’s a pretty strong chance for it coming this year.
I mean, I’m not saying that they should be adding the F-22A this early, just that I wouldn’t put it past Gaijin to release it in a similar way to how they released the F-14A lol
They definitely should be focussing on older stuff, but that’s not how Gaijin sees it apparently
Honestly when we do get to the stage where they add the F-22 I can see Gaijin doing something similar to the F/A-18C. Adding an Early version as a premium.
