Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

We’ll have to see, I can see them limiting it to 6x IR and 4x BVR.

But even with 6x BVR loadout, that still gives the F-15s 2x more AMRAAM that is no small advantage in a long range slinging match

yeah, and we can get an advanced eagle if that actually comes down the road

Probably what it would take to get it fixed, but then defo no reason for the F-15 to get AESA with 500+ CMs

Sorta? Personally, I was thinking tags be more international organizations.

Let’s use modern-day Canada for example, it would have 3 tags:

  • Commonwealth
  • NORAD
  • NATO

Basically, it won’t be hard to make a line-up with two nations, but as soon as you add a third(or more) they all need to share at least 1 tag. (AKA, you can’t add any non-NATO member commonwealth nation into a NATO line-up and vice versa. so US-UK can be used to build a line-up as they are NATO members but a UK-US-ZA line-up wouldn’t be possible.)

Side note, but certain tags should only be active at certain BRs/ranks(and that varies by nation), I think the highest BR vehicle should dictate what tags are active. Tho this breaks down tags into two types: permanent(things that won’t go away) and temporary(typically this is different alliances for different conflicts).

For example, WW2 Canada(as I used them as an example earlier) would have these tags:

  • Commonwealth
  • Allies

I sorta made an edit to my original post with this exact thing:

I’m expecting something more along the lines of this:

Again this has the possibility of getting a 6/2 loadout of 120B/9Ms

you assume we wont get an R-class (they only chose this because none of them have any significant AA)

I don’t think so, because the f15 has unlimited countermeasures, better gun, more aamrams, it’s pretty good. Eurofighter is probably more evenly rounded for both BVR and WVR. Therefore I think that’s balanced

F-15E could get four more AMRAAMs?

Edit - Ohhh, never mind, completely misinterpreted. You meant two more, not twice as many

That diagram completely ignores the outer pylon. NVM was looking at ground options

Yeah, I’m sure King George V will be included in the patch, 1911 KGV that is.

ah ok, understood

I’d prefer one of those because they are notably different or better than what we’ve got currently.

R-Class is just a sidegrade HMS Repulse.

Thanks for explaining that to me, bro

For a moment, I was like, Has F-15 been able to carry 12 AMRAAM’s this entire time, and I’ve only been taking 8 like an idiot ?? 😂

tbh the way I see it this is how the jets SHOULD ideally stack up based on what they EXCEL at (not to say they cant do both, this is just their best category)

BVR
1 - Eurofighter Typhoon
2 - J-11B

WVR
1 - Rafale C
2 - J-10B

there is a chance of 6/6 as well

UK/GER/ITA Typhoons should all be relatively identical in ability this update right?

It’s not going to be a one better / worse than others kind of situation?
