Sons of Attila - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

eh u mean spike er 2 16km range, or might have been lr to but those arent notable

god they sure did an upgrade over the Early Gatling one

ERs work too

German helicopter development is…odd to say the least

yes, don’t get me started on the NH-90 project, that one was odd too

The rumors are that the Bundeswehr are waiting on the US light attack heli competition to finish before seeing if the winner could be exported

revival of the PAH groups would be fitting into the current times

Like every government, they are looking at the kerfuffle in the east rather closely

I’d say looking closely is a little underestimating their panic

we’ll see the previously thought to be impossible F-35 with their Roundels

which is nice because that means they can add it to Warthunder

Well the leaders are certainly laser focused, but at least this got the penny pinchers at Koblenz to get their butts moving

true

you wanted to be proven as a clown so I’ll oblige
here’s a snippet from a 2015 article about the A-129D complete with an image of a Spike ER installed on it as well.

and 2015 is 3 years before ER2 was even unveiled

but i’m sure you’re ready to explain how Italy must have created time travel to fit your narrative

nup no clown, i gave you facts easy as that, you have known shown it is capable so it is ok easy as that. You are reading way to much into this. I dont care realy.
Still ER might reach 10km launch from air and i am against it as long as japan, italy isreael i am not sure with the new one coming, doesnt have spaas that can reach 10km themself

Heck even a Mi-8T of Hungary can be added (with slight model differences) but gaijin wanted full throttle copy pasting

The R-60M was a crap missile at 12.0, and needed to be addressed. Sparrow is still the king of the medium range engagement (volume + radar), and the AIM-9M is an even better version of the the 9L which had the energy to out range the 60M. Now the balance of power is Dogfight+BVR vs. Short-range+Medium-range.

A little lateral movement for actual BVR shots (30km away) and it will usually break off too. I watch my launches when I shoot them, and just 1 90 turn can ruin the shot.

Is there any major differences between the AIM-9L and AIM-9M in game?

The 9M has IRCCM

Upgrade for T2.
Atleast something “new” for JP air

Oh, thats finally something good. AIM-9E are kinda garbage and 9P would be much better
