+1 for Britain
Wouldn’t it just be a modification you could equip on the existing AIM?
I think it should come separately from the F-14D Super Tomcat. Should be F-14D Technology Test Bed (TTB) since its a specific version tailored for AIM-120A’s from what I understand. Either way though, it’s sick.

So, can someone explain to me why the hell we’re again getting so much top tier stuff this patch?
( Badger is reasonably close so it also counts)
These “filler” patches are getting more and more stale every time…

Aside from the boat, they showed 2 things

Well we all saw the “fake” list by gszabi and so far it looks like nothing but top tier.
And trust me, probably not much else.
Tbf, that list (which are very accurate from Gszabi and Mike) has only 9 viewable things and almost half of them are WWII-ish battleships (which are top tier but needed). Likely have another 10-20 vehicles left that we don’t know about.

but what country will Altay go to? Germany, Italy or others
The only country it should, Türkiye (when it gets added as its own) 😎
Probably not for another year or so unless they make it a sub-tree of like Italy which doesn’t seem ‘too’ likely. So far its just stuff Italy and Türkiye co-developed but who knows. It is Gaijin’s ‘Year of the Sub-tree’
Nope all F-14D’s could use the Aim-120 :)
Well yes but those are top tier.
I mean, naval is still far from being anywhere close to complete but top tier tends to be a pretty awful experience regardless of the mode, mostly due to powercreep (RIP 5.7/6.0 cruisers btw)
10-20 more vehicles is a pretty bold one though. I guess we’ll see what the cook up but imma giga sleep till then)
Also I thought I was in the R&R thread when I posted my original comment, that’s a big mistake from me, sorry y’all.

Fancy, so they were all software/hardware updated for it but never was mounted in combat?
Yup. They never integrated the AMRAAM in service unfortunately. Fleetwide, they decided against it in favor of the Laser Pod. There might be some software needed for when it went service-wide, but that’s to be expected. And since it already had the ARH capability, they decided to forgo the Aim-120 until later. Later turned into never sadly…

Tbf, the past year or two have been very top tier air heavy, but top tier ground (which is seemingly getting attention this update) has been stagnant for quite some time.
The heavy focus on top tier air has left almost everyone’s years old top AA woefully obsolete, so if this update does shape up to rectify that as it seems to be doing thus far, then it’ll be great for gameplay health in that area of the game.
Top tier gameplay health will not be fixed by simply adding more SPAA. It needs a range of changes and overhauls.
It’s a real shame because WW2 and Cold War era BR’s (even up to like BR 11.0) are mostly ignored… apart from Gaijin shoehorning in modern, post year 2000 artillery pieces in the inter-war/early Cold War BR’s.
