So the americans will finally let britain integrate Meteor on their F-35 fleet lol, now officially the best stealth fighters in the world
Give it to American F-35s in the future
These are the kind of rewards I want to see from the BP, interesting enough to be worth grinding for, but not entire vehicles that can be missed, or modifications that are actually needed in their respective tree.

Y tho lol
They have their own missiles, for better or for worse.
Meteor is a European missile, for European fighters, and in this case most likely German, Italian and British F-35s
coz M6 was cool and Maus was cooler

you gotta have a backup
The M40 GMC was used in the Korean War, where enemy forces were often fortified among the hills and mountains. I assume a recoilless rifle of any sort would be useful if they ended up returning fire from such visible positions.
But you also have a 6 inch howitzer
With a long reload time, and little to no armor, not to mention the time it would take to aim and calibrate such a large howitzer.
I’m also wondering how often “peaking” tactics work, in which you engage the enemy immediately after they fire and are now in the middle of a reload.
A howitzer shouldnt be that close to the enemy in a convention war anyway. Thetrs a reason this didnt get adopted.
I hope this means JNAAM for British and Japanese F-35s, since Meteor is now officially compatible.
If only the French didn’t interfere with JNAAM…
Well yeah, it didn’t get adopted of course, but the US military had clearly enough experience with mobile artillery to take it into consideration, which is why other SPGs were trialled with recoilless rifles as well.
The reason it was trialled was for additional offensive capabilities if push came to shove, but clearly that was found to be more of an issue at the doctrinal level, which is why it was dropped.
As always after every patch. Gaijin, gib F-2A

Not really a wish, but Strategic Bombers might genuinely be coming soon. Also Atomic Ace shows a B-52 (possible hint?)
Mods keep deleting any thread I make about this info sadly
A while back after the CM disclosures where they talked about Multi-Vehicle SAM systems I posted something in the last thread for the MIM-23.
And that just got a little bit closer :)
3km Minimum, 50km Maximum Range for anyone who didn’t know. It also has a mobile trailer.

If it’s player-controlled then it would have to be on the M548 chassis as the standard trailer need to be deployed before firing no?
Yep, the Radar can be added onto the back for the trailer part.
This disk is the illuminator for the search radar

The integration stuff usually happens in the US (Edwards AFB probably). On an American F-35 maybe, if you know what I’m getting at
