Fair
People that use the CS/SA5 for its intended purpose are true heroes
If they can’t be bothered to add a bunch of seperate CIWS capable vehicles, they could at the very least add a Skyguard or that mobile Phalanx and give every Blufor nation access to that, similar to how the UCAVs work
Redfor can get a CS/SA5-like as their “free” vehicle
lowkey hate how they did its missiles tho, absolute bangers of dogshit.
modeled so well they entire model might be wrong
is there any ww2 German bomber fanatic over here that knows a lot of stuff about the Ju-290s?
The OP of this suggestion, probably
Hhhhmmm, I think the end 4.5’s next Gen IR and ECM/EW for Oct/Nov update. Next Gen Fox 3 will be for Christmas with the 5th Gens!
Huge doubt for EW, maybe a tiny bit of more modern ECM (probably towed decoys soon).
Personally, I’m not expecting IIR A2A missiles for this update, but if they are coming, I sure hope they won’t be made available at 13.0 and below…
Spoiler
Also still not sure who to believe when it comes to the R-74s “realness”
That I think was confirmed by both sides to have shot down a MiG 29 at some insane distance! Sooo it probably fits this category of next Gen Fox 3…though the R77M probably more so
Exactly this. These missiles used by the S-300, BUK M3, SAMP/T, and Type 03 all cost tens of millions of dollars. They should not be machine gunning them willy nilly at everything in the sky. They should only fire if:
- The target is a high priority
- The target is close to, or within the NEZ
- The target has already been up high for a minumum length of time
- The target is above a certain altitude
- The missile has a high PK
- All of these would have 2 exceptions:
- The target has already beeen fired at (so they won’t just abandon a missile after it is already fired)
- The target is inside a certain range of the SAM site, and maybe also within a certain range of specific assets like the EWRs that are supposed to be given a function soon (this would represent a top priority target that must be destroyed)
This would stop the long range SAMs from shooting someone who just took off or is making a fast popup attack (for something like an S-300, there is no point at shooting someone who is popping up for a short period of time because they will quickly get back down to the ground and break LOS)
It should be compatible with any aircraft that can fire AMRAAMs, since its meant to replace them. It even shares the same dimensions.
It is an SM-6, just without the large booster.
I think Proto-EW/ECM (really basic implementation, just laying the framework) could be this coming major

can anyone identify the plane in the back?
Don’t forget the Sargent Stout. It would probably be one of the better ones since it has proxy ammo and a hemispherical aesa radar like the Spyder AIO with 360x65 degree scanning angles.
kinda reminds me of a Wellington
The data min about the towed decoy I think is a dead give away
Looks like a Wellington, dunno what else it could be
If we restrict the SAMs to be more realistic, shouldn’t we also restrict the players?
I don’t think the militaries would put full loads of A2A missiles on planes or let them fly with only A2G and no A2A weapons
It wasn’t even just a datamine, there were controls added to the dev server for firing towed decoys and similar things. Though that was probably a mistake, I don’t think they meant to reveal that so early.
