Sons of Attila - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

@JohnOverKill

I can only find that it held the Meteor, AIM-120, and MICA along with AIM-9L, IRIS-T, and DARTER. So maybe they could limit it to 6x AIM-9L and HMD?

I guess Swedish Air Force order helmet mounted display (HMD) from BAE Systems for Gripen C

@AlvisWisla

I’ll take 4 9Ls over ERs any day.
You could add exclusively 9Ls to Mig-29 and I’d use them over ERs, cause people still aren’t use to a Mig-29 on their tail.
F-16A NETZ with an HMD would be just flat out better.
Sweden already has a SPAA at 10.0 with an arrow & guidance, but it also has a search radar.
Yeah, and 2 - 3 Abrams are 11.3 with identical armor to M1A2, which exceeds every Soviet 11.3’s armor.
And “muh weakspot” is true of all tanks, and the third person perspective as well as aim down barrel is what causes it the most.
Also BVM is the only Soviet tank with gen 3 thermals.
The rest are gen 1 or 2, like Abrams.

With ALL of this said, F-15C is another step of dogfight performance that I’m expecting soon.
And one that Soviets won’t have an answer to until Su-30SM far into the future.

Lil bro thinks War Thunder is a realistic war games simulator. Lol, lmao even.

It is. Among the best flight models in the industry, most accurate armor & ammunition characteristics, and will likely improve further.
Next major update we could see superior APCBC simulation to catch up with APCR, APDS, APFSDS, HEF, and HESH.

What could we see as counters to the confirmed Gripen ?

With AMRAAMs? F-16, F-4F ICE, Tornado with AMRAAMs…
Without AMRAAMS: F-15, potentially Su-27 or Mig-29 with R-73s…

@JohnOverKill
F-15J is the current only F-15 I care about, which is also the one with the highest chance of being added since, it’s F-15C which means it can be added to 3 tech trees at once.
Aim-9Ls & Aim-7F/Ms.
As for Su-27 out-classing F-15… I dunno. Radar & airframe F-15 has it beat. Time will tell.
I don’t use “MSIP” cause I don’t even know what that abbreviation means. Not something I looked into.

@JohnOverKill

Wait south africa used them :0 that would be awesome then!

One of Britain’s government training agencies also owns a Gripen C or D they use.
Equipped with 9Ls & AMRAAMs to justify a 12.3 BR instead of 11.7 without AMRAAMs.

You guess this quarter dev could add PL-8 on J-7E & J-8B and increase higher 11.0 ?

I look forward modern 3rd gen aircraft from SAAF to UK tech tree

F-16A Netz addtion of support for DASH HMD ? now chinese tech tree never had aircraft CAS high tier & toptier better Q-5L almost 2 years

And might hope gaijin might consider new attack aircraft 12.0 or 12.3 toptier under A-7E for USA tech tree at rank VIII this quarter

[AlvisWisla]

I’d much prefer a new J-7 variant than J-7E getting PL-8.
And no, F-16A Netz does not support HMDs.
HMD support was Block 50 forward for Cs, and the ML Upgrade package for As.

I do think this will happen sooner or later.

@oom1992

now chinese tech tree never had aircraft CAS high tier & toptier better Q-5L almost 2 years

JH-7 or JH-17 could fit that role but we have no info on that coming anytime soon sadly

[Martin3825]

Fully stabilized and sur armored tank like xm1 and T64B against non stabilized, non armored tank like french amx 30, where is the balance gaijin ? Really a great work this stupid modification of br

[JohnOverKill]

I’m still waiting for Gaijin to give the Mirage 2000-5F its HMD

[ZVO_гайлинн ひ]

what are you drinking the eurofighter is not coming any time soon.

[JohnOverKill]

Again they are talking about the earliest variant thr DA.2 which could be added with Skyflash and AIM-9Ls meaning it could easily come soon

[Lord_Prism]

Not to mention it used Tornado engines

[TyphoonCro]

I thought DA.2 didn’t have any offensive avionics (radar and such)
Not to mention lack of countermeasures and RWR

[02ded]

new forum allows users to flag posts as off topic, those then get hidden(sadly not fully) which means it takes off some load for smin

@AlvisWisla

I’ve never had an Aim-7F self-detonate, so I wouldn’t know that experience.

I would recommend you to try it again. Self detonation is pretty common with AIM-7F even with a proper lock.

[AlvisWisla]

I do, always tracks. Cause I lead well and only launch when it’s ready.

[Miraz05]

It does track well but it also randomly explodes even with a good lock

[oom1992]

@AlvisWisla

I’d much prefer a new J-7 variant than J-7E getting PL-8.
And no, F-16A Netz does not support HMDs.
HMD support was Block 50 forward for Cs, and the ML Upgrade package for As.

I guess new Chengdu J-7 equipped helmet mounted sight, carry PL-5E & new PL-8 with IRCCM

You guess early 4th gen fighter aircraft rank 8 from PLAAF with SARH BVR for china tech tree coming to Q3 or Q4 ?

F-16A Netz without helmet mounted display ? ah ok.

I just know that now Israel no early fighter aircraft with SARH 12.0 in rank 8

In the future gajin might consider lightweight attack aircraft not VTOL for great britain tech tree ?

@Volxar

some “kids” playground

There he goes playing the mature card.

btw you can’t really call this a kids playground as a kid is aged between 1 to 12.
And as you should know the age limit is 12+ for this game :D

[Miraz05]

BAE Hawk could be a good option for Britain

[Miraz05]

Looks like smin is back😀

[02ded]

it was a joke

[Deathmisser]

Run F run :0

[Miraz05]

Hehe😬
