can have and should have are 2 different things, a lot of Phantoms can carry 9Ls doesn’t meant they should have them

but they have something in return they were never able to carry

the r-27er which alot of ppl in the community have issues with (the r-27er as a weapon, not it being on the mig29)

yeah I would argue one of the best IRCM IR missiles in the game is better then the R-27ER purely for the fact the R-27ER is kinda handicapped on most mig29s due to the normally terrible radars

i heard ppl say before that it is the 2nd best radar below 13.0

Never, we are now permanently stuck on Spearhead

Hold the next update ransom until the Chinese can accept the Thai VT-4 & VN-1C

@Smin1080p_WT Since Russia has gotten now 2 BTR’s, is there any chance the US can get its LAV-25’s? Kind of a bit overdue now id say especially since numerous other nations have gotten their wheeled IFV’s

Gaijin doesn’t think so apparently, they probably think we mean this and are confused.

Spoiler

Where would the LAV-25 even get placed? I feel like you can’t place it below 9.0 because that is where the badger is, but there are also already considerably better wheeled autocannon vehicles at 9.3-9.7.

base LAV-25 can easily go to 7.3 or 7.7 because it only has APDS as its top AP ammo. LAV-25A2 tho can go to 8.7 or 9.0 since it has thermals, darts, and HMG resistant armor but no missiles. Now the LAV-25 with TOW’s can go to 10.0 or 10,3 since it would be firing TOW-2’s

Seems like that is at least 9.0 material since the Badger is worse than that at 9.0.

Fair enough, guess it’s BR is similar to the Type 87 RCV(P) or whatever it’s called.

id mention the LAV-25A1, but thats pretty much just the base LAV-25 with HMG resistant armor, that one is honestly more fit to be a premium than a TT vehicle since its a sidegrade since you get protection at the cost of mobility

LAV AT would prolly be like 9.7 tops because its just a worse wiesel 1a2.

If it carries the same missiles as the M901, it probably would be 9.0 with the mobility being the only reason for the higher BR

The LAV-25 with TOW’s i was meaning isnt the LAV-AT, im meaning the LAV-25 that has a pair of TOW launchers on the sides of its turret that was developed for the US Marines and tested by them and the Aussies

Pretty sure it uses tow 2 and even tow2b, so prolly not quite as low as 901 with itow.

I have yet to see anything more than a 3d model mockup of that project personally.

9.3 would be reasonable for one with TOW 2s, the Wiesel only has that 9.7 BR because of its tiny size
