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

israel could receive two kfirs,one for tech tree and one squadron (like how the swedes got the two new viggens)

Even though the R-27EA could theoretically exist, it requires the same radars that R-77 requires, so I really don’t see the point in adding it, other than that the missile could in theory, joust with the AIM-120A/B’s better than the R-77’s.

Whole community is going to lose their shit over it because it will be basically a textbook “sekrit dokuments/Russian bias” moment, even though it has about as much information available to justify it coming to the game as any other weapon that was proposed or produced in low numbers.

i mean Lavi was a thing as well wasnt it?

Today im finish Chinese air tech tree, buy jh7a. Waiting J-11B, and Christmas sale, for buy al-khalid. I want grinding Chinese ground tech tree

“Could”

verb

used to indicate possibility.

“Should”

verb

used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness of someone’s actions.

learn the difference please

We only have 1 kfir in the technological treel. It seems like a joke.

Me when I read

Exactly, and the IRIS-T SPAA and the NASAM and the Spyder and whatever else people keep talking about are not really intended to function as SPAA’s, and their ranges would now out range USSR/Ru SPAA to the degree that it would require another USSR/Ru SPAA. All I can really think at that point is an early S-300 or a Buk of some kind, and then again, we’re getting back to the whole integrated AD system, not an SPAA.

I gotta finish up rank 7 and than try to get through the J-11A line as fast I can

Yeah, I don’t think that immobile set up SAMs really work for war thunder; it’s a shame the US never developed anything similar to Pantsir because the Pantsir is pretty cool but with no counterpart it’s bad for the game.

we could use a new top tier premium or squadron plane for israel .there is like 3 variants of the kfir c10 so there wont be a problem for 1 to be a squadron with the rest falling just under the netz in the tech tree

to be fair they’re working on a Boxer based IRIS-T SLS system but that one will have a shorter range than the SLM we’ve seen used so far so it may fit in game

the problem of it being an unflarable 100G overload TVC missile is still there tho

Again, the R-77-1 would be equivalent to the AIM-120C-5.

The R-77-1 should end up with similar range to the 120A/B while being more maneuverable.

The AIM-120C-5 would get slighly slightly less drag and fin AOA (smaller fins) but it would get ~10-20% more range.

The R-77-1 trades a small amount of range (compared to the 120C-5) in exchange for maneuverability. Without the 120C-5 as a counter, the R-77-1 would just be outright better than the AMRAAMs present in game.

3 tornados for Germany, 2 are prem/event ;)

Good luck

I do not appreciate being misquoted is all, I want you to present one instance where I said it “should” be added

And that was hyperbole, however it was you that originally accused me of coping and begging which is insulting when we were having a perfectly decent discussion.

Just ignore him lol. He pretty clearly isnt hear to argue in good faith.

I remember there was a spreadsheet showing that it was worse, at least if added ingame.

Or they add these systems, and the Russia gets a chance to see how it feels when your SPAA is leagues ahead of any others ;D

**as its been since Sky Guardians March 2023

Oh yeah, it is in the missile spreadsheet, basically the only difference is in the motor, it has a boost and sustain but overall, only about 100m/s more delta V so it’s hard to say how big a difference that makes.

Also its heavier b quite a bit
