Mirgage 2000N and Rafale, both carrying ASMP, which is a mach 3, ± 500km range, Ramjet, nuclear armed missile

But since they are nuclear missile and not bombs, that would render the balancing part tricky, to say the least

Gaijin could always strap an older bomb to mirage 2000 or just go with a Benelux F-16 i guess

Also

Insert “FINALLY” meme here

my question is now will it be placed on all that had it or is the Super Entandard left out

Exocet you mean ?

Some lower tier aircrafts have similar missiles (like tornado or that random japanese premium with sea eagles)

so i don’t see why not

This might relate to what some of the unused map icons we saw in the first test 's files are planned for:

DON’T GET HUNG UP ON THE “_ussr” TAG. THESE ICONS ARE USED BY BOTH TEAMS, AND THEY DO NOT IMPLY THAT ALL SHIP TYPES THEY MENTION WILL BE AVAILABLE TO EACH.

Anyway, my assumption is that many of these will be coming from Mobile again, since they already have missile cruisers from the 60’s/70’s and modern missile-armed ships that are currently in service ( and in one instance, in the process of entering service ).

It’ll be interesting to see if there will be greater variation in the size of the naval vehicles being added, the previous NE tests have mostly had ships on the larger end of the scale.

Kirov-class confirmed?

It sure is

but not like that

They might also just add an A2N mode and no A2G mode for the radar.

Will be good on British ships first :P

The air to surface mode itself detects both sea and ground targets luckily, so no need for a separate mode.

As is the same on other aircraft, like the Typhoon, but instead they model it as 2 different modes, (though only the A2G mode actually made it to the live game)

Some new things confirmed by BVV_d that could be added:

Spoiler

RCS modelling for munitions planned for this year.

NE potentially permanently in the game autumn.

Vietnam era test for NE planned for the summer.

CNS Fujian, USS Nimitz, and more modern aircraft carriers planned for this year.

Exocet planned for next major update.

Repairing and capturing airfield mechanic planned for NE, no timeframe for it.

RBS-15 planned, no timeframe but likely for next major update.

Trolling aside, i guess they’ll get it when ships have missiles equipped
Funnily enough the french tree does not get its own naval Exocet slinger, so your prediction might become true X)

Yep, Leander-Class Frigates, Type 21/22 Frigates and County-Class Batch 2 Destroyers were equipped with them. Type 42s (the class that HMS Sheffield was, were equipped with them by Argentina who operated 2x Type 42s)

We actually had quite a good idea of how they functioned before/just after the Falklands started though:

Harrier 809

Yep, guessing a Seaslug slinger first though.

But just remember, I was joking about the premium aircraft being an F-16 too :P

Are you talking in game ?
Cause IRL, the George Leygues used the MM38, and some later used the MM40

As for the other MM40 users you have :
FREMM/FDA
FDI
La fayette

Gib Taurus:
GPS/IOG/RADALT/MITL/IR and is a Tandem SAP :3
Would have a VERY Funny Pen Value too :D

Is it actually MITL?

Kinda, it has DL + we have a Video of the Bundeswehr were they say if the Taurus goes Off its Programmed Course they can take action and make an controled Crash Manually, it depends how Gaijin feels on that day

Got anything stating it has datalink?
