The only answer I can think of is that beginners buying the F4S pack to join ground battles makes its combat efficiency relatively low, so it got a decrease in BR, whereas the ADV can’t achieve this because there isn’t a pack released for it.
what nations count as blue side as china and sweden iirc were on both sides?
Are there any plans to add a 14.7 jet for the US in the coming Fall patches (or even December patch) at all? The only plausible option that comes to mind (for me at least) is the F-15EX, which surpasses the RMP in capabilities.
If we aren’t getting an RMP soon, that makes me worry we’re either not getting the EX this year at all, or we’re skipping the RMP.
I’m also not exactly looking forward to 5th gens getting shoehorned into the game when the game itself is nowhere near ready, if that’s the “plan” for this year. Hopefully we don’t see those this year…
which of the planes in the british tech tree can use the AARGM-ER? I assume the hornets
you would be correct, the F/A-18F by technical compatibility
not the legacy hornets though
tbh 5th gens will probably barely make a difference, most 5th gens carry less missiles (assuming you want to maintain stealth) and generally are less manurable then 4.5+ gen jets
you are kinda handy capping yourself for a gimmick that probably wont be very effective in warthunder
I think there is also something about the AARGM-ER being integrated on the EFT as well as germany’s next gen ARM but with the fact HOSBO is locked to the german EFT it will probably be another thing locked to the german EFT (ignore the fact that their Trenche 2 shouldn’t be able to carry brimstones as it was only introduced in Trenche 3 for the German and Italian EFTs but hey)
you are confusing it with the AGM-88E AARGM. Germany has not pursued AARGM-ER and doesnt really show any signs that they will
funny thing is, in the Grumman brochure for the ER, the EF is listed a future operator, my best guess is that they are banking on us procuring it for the EF EK at some point or someone else integrating it, only other AARGM operator is italy iirc
finland is getting AARGM-ER iirc. its the premier ARM for the F-35



Oh, looks like I need to switch topics. Maybe deliberately ignoring my posts?,Is Gaijin planning to equip the Bushmaster2 MK44 autocannon with the Mk 310 PABM-T programmable airburst round so they can effectively target reconnaissance drones? Just like the Germans use the PMC308, because right now NATO’s 30mm cannons can’t really threaten recon drones due to rate of fire issues.
I won’t mention low-BR 30mm guns like on the VBCI2 type24(25), because optical lock programmable airburst rounds pose a devastating threat to helicopters firing TOW, HOT, or even AS11 missiles.
So essentially the nations already lacking Anti radiation are gonna be even more useless going forward? Neat
Big whoop if you use a F16 or F18 legacy as your only form of ARM and don’t get the new missile

best part of this update. you can 1 shot BMPT’s by shooting their missile now, first good thing the devs have done in a while lol
It’s not consistent though
Yeah like Sean said it’s pretty inconsistent, not worth imo going for it if you can attempt to disable to turret especially if you’re in one of the overtiered LTs at top tier with no resistance to APDS at any distance
I am also wondering why a detonation of the bmpt missile or the belt doesn’t directly disable the vertical traverse or gun breeches since they are in close vicinity. It’s not like that for nato ifv’s, I wonder why that is
Nah Nato stuff has its missiles destroyed the entire vehicle deatomizes itself, hell even if I don’t have a missile reloaded the game still acts like I have ammo in there mid reload despite nothing being there
its been quite consistent with me, either kills them or fully disables them. maybe im just lucky lmao
Wasn’t the Spiteful mentioned by the devs?
