Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I’ve read all of your kind and supportive messages, and I wanted to thank all you! They warmed up my heart ^^

Since some of you asked me to keep you updated;

I spent a day and half at ER. Myocarditis and pericarditis, along with other issues. Turns out I had been dragging them for some time, but I have been brute-forcing through it (I had gone to the doctor before, but they thought it was “just some contracture”) until it got way too unbearable and I became unable to move, so I drove to ER as best as I could, where I was told the pain was equivalent to a heart attack.

The doctors wanted me to stay for “at least a whole month”! So I was like…. lol no. I have a mother to take care of and many other things I can not leave unattended for so long. Plus that hospital had eternal wait times for all relevant tests and monitorisation and I had to share room with 15 other people who were ill with infectious diseases which could actually have finished me off had I got any of them, so I figured it would be best for me to just take care of myself at home (I’m a pharmacy tech, so I’m something of a drug whiz myself) and go regularly to the doctor and cardyologist for check-ups.

If they had told me to stay for 3, 4, or even 7 days, I could have… accepted. But a whole month, not viable. It is now my intention to recover ASAFP. I’ve got a few new meds which should help my heart and other things get back on track and I will be doing the groceries online as to not have to move even for that.

So… I’m back home! The condition remains serious and evolution is uncertain, but I’m optimistic. I technically can’t exit home at all or drive, but… welp. I will be hanging over here as usual, maybe a little less for now, as I may be spending some more time in bed.

But… anyway, it’s good to be back! And, again, thanks to all those of you who wrote those nice and caring messages ^^

That’s very clearly an F-15C, likely some demo for F-15G… Which is already well known to not use ARMs… especially since no F-15C in service even has a 2nd pair of wing pylons…

Even still the whole point was to say the british tornado will probably carry the most ARMs of any plane in game since the F16 and EF-18 can only carry 4 each, german tornados only carry 4 HARMs as well im assuming most soviet aircraft only carry 2 to 6 ARMs and even then that takes most of their hard points

Well duh, that’s obvious.

Either way F-15s can’t use ARMs (besides 15SA iirc), that’s all I was saying.

Is it just me, or are 1776 and 1314 days of waiting an appropriately long period of time to be able to request a new airplane or ground vehicle for Japan from WWII, which will be a Tech Tree vehicle?

Well, it’s been 3,511 days since ATGM’s were first introduced to the game, and the US still doesn’t have a missile carrier in its TT, so I would buckle up.

Haven’t you heard BvvD response in the Q&A about how there enough WW2 or something like that ?

3,511 days is more than enough to get M901 w/ squadron points ))))))

What do you mean the US still doesn’t have a missile carrier?

yeah probably, closest thing is super hornet with 6 ARM

you understand that there is a lot of commonality with the F-15’s right?

Read again.

Not in its TT, no.

If we wanted to have one WWII aircraft for example per year for each nation that is only two WWII aircraft per update, or 5-6 per update if we count subtree nations (that for the most part will run out much sooner than major developing nations too).
This is not unreasonable considering that WWII vehicles make up a large majority of vehicles missing from the game.

One each year per techtree nation should be the absolute minimum, no nation should go multiple years without WWII techtree addition unless they ran out entirely, which is a point most of us won’t see in our lifetime anyways.

Yeah, 18E and all late flankers (30/34/35) can do 6 ARMs.

you understand that there is a lot of commonality with the F-15’s right?

while yeah that’s true I don’t really like using that argument since that’s how you end up with F-15C Golden Eagle having GBU-8s…

Jokes really go everywhere but the intended target these days huh

Also, the M901 has the stupid turret mechanics where it has to fold down when driving. It’s also stupid how China has 2 vehicles in its TT whose primary armament are TOW’s, while the US doesn’t have a single one, despite literally creating the system.

Yeah it happens a lot, same thing happened with TOR till the latest update… was pretty funny

or like how nobody else has their Strela-2/igla launchers modeled on their ships besides a singular GERMAN coastal, not even a single Soviet/Russian one despite the fact they built it.

I took your joke as a serious, Gaijin level answer, so yes, it did go over my head. That’s my bad.
