Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Basically.

IR/EO+SAL+GNSS, same warhead as from the Brimstone/Spear I think. So a smaller warhead than Spice-250s

Do you know if the us could get any ir glide bomb that is similar to spice-250??

GBU-53s maybe?

Do you think we can see them in the future or are they to op? I don’t know but i think ir bombs are so much cooler than ir missiles

Anything is possible. I think CAS is due an upgrade and AGM-65s dont really cut it anymore.

The only issue comes in quantity mitigation

What tree would it get added to? US?

Edit: nvm i didn’t read your text properly

Only nation it could is Sweden. They made the vehicle and Italy has no ties to a Gripen from Brazil, same with the US

Doesn’t stop people from coping though

I actually reckon it would go no where until such time we see a home for LATAM stuff

Thats my hope, it would be best for a LATM tree, id rather it not arrive until then but you know gaijin

Feels like it would be copy and past tho. Or am i wrong?

Different loadout from the swedish airforce. Different missiles and ground strike. Sweden lacks proper A2G going forward so this would be the best bet unless gaijin gives sweden the ability to use all compatible equipment but i doubt lol.

CAS is anything but due for an upgrade

The FnF helis pushed the balance in favour of CAS again

I meant that if they added a latin american tech tree it would be copy and pasted vehicles. I don’t know anything about vehicles made from south america

Helis though aren’t all CAS.

Fixed wing is a bit rough imo, at least without KH38s. AGM-65s have been due for an upgrade for a while if nothing else.

I don’t think ARM or more FNF glide bombs would be unreasonable at the moment.

Though I would just settle with them fixing GBUs for now

So you’re telling me I’m meant to take your comment serious when I read these two together ?

Problem is just sweden air is going to be lacking a lot going forward Gripen E without ECM will be like having a worse EFT (more like F15E as its going to be worse at turning.) at the same BR as the next gen EFT’s coming. If gaijin wants people grind sweden the Gripen E will need to stay exclusive to sweden. As soon as it goes to another nation they wont have anything unique left at top tier.

Genuine question, do you even play top tier GRB?

Pretty sure they couldn’t give it its nuke round, but it most certainly could have its practice round, which I’m pretty sure is just a HE shell with 16lbs of comp b and a velocity of like 120 m/s

Genuine question, why in the world would I do that?
