Hey Smin, what did you give to the devs to make them treat britain so well for the past few updates???
No we need a German auf1 based on leopard 1 ;3
Never why do that when you can add gimped vehicles people want also that way it’s a lose lose for us regardless
Perhaps someday. But not for now.

@Smin1080p_WT Is the F-104 that was shown in the teaser considered to be added or was it to make the pass look cooler?
Also any plans to add the AIM-26B for the F-102A?
I mean why not. It serves as a lower BR 155mm, and is quite unique
And that is the issue. For the S-300 sites you want something like the SPICE-250, GBU-53, or GBU-39. The HARMs are not effective against those because you cannot get close enough without getting shot down. And if you launch them from further away, they will be super slow by the time they even get close so it makes them a super easy intercept. And that’s assuming the SAM site doesn’t detect the launch from far out an switch it’s radar off.
The HARMs are most effective against the SHORAD systems.
Yeah and that’s amazing, I was super happy to see it. But I can’t see how it will be playable at 10.3 with no flares, 10.0 is already difficult in full uptiers… I know it didn’t get countermeasures in service irl, but can’t there be a compromise like with the F-5A/C?
F-5C gets flares it never had. That’s not an option for us, again the XS holds the same missiles and more that the J does so again they are just keeping the best Draken a prem and reinforcing that logic

ARM against SHORAD, and saturation of the long range sites seems to be the main META, unless you have kh31
Not even upset for no F15EX and Su35S…the game modes being made permanent is AMAZING…Bullet Hell as well 🫡
Yep, it’s super frustrating. I still cope a little for ahistorical flares copied on the XS
That doesnt make any sense.
being subsonic within 12km to use the glide bombs is safer than using AGM-88C whilst supersonic from further away?
Yeah at the start of each match, I would take 8x GBU-39s and 2x HARMs and I could use the GBU-39s to clear out all 5 frontline S-300 sites in about 20 minutes or so, and then I could use the HARMs on any Tunguskas that popped up
At which point you’re forced into hitting long range AA because gaijin refused to correct for the limitations of their munition selection.
And so we get one vehicle that’s worse than a premium? How about Finnish hawks, we’ve been asking since Finland was added to add their more iconic vehicles. Even the Sturmi is missing or are the devs just keeping them to sell to us like every other Finnish vehicle?
when’s dev opening??
@Smin1080p_WT Turkish skin for F-102? We do not see a vehicle at least represented in skins by all historical operators much, this could be an example
You don’t have to be inside 12km to use the glide bombs. And while it’s not necessarily safer, it’s significantly more effective to use the glide bombs because of the pseudo-RCS mechanic. If you want, I can send you a video I made for someone in here on how to effectively deal with the S-300 sites.
At least you have a large choice of different ARM across multiple vehicles as well if you want to go for shorter range SAM
