Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

I mean it’s a 64D without the radar. It’s pretty much a AH-64A

wow, they bought an an apache longbow but without the longbow radar?

I’m fine with it as i stated before i was under the impression of what was mentioned in dev stream in min 40:12 " easier to lock onto various targets" . I misunderstood it. I thought it was gonna be able to lock more than one target at the same time.

just gajin being gajin and not implementing them

Oh yeah, but spamming the spawn where SPAA lurks, like the GBU-39’s, should be quite helpful.

That is the case currently, but its also possible that gaijin just threw them in a folder to make working on them easier.

While the radar is nice. Without the 114L it doesn’t mean much. But i am also opposed to the 114 L being added.

Laughs in British

i sincerely hope not
i really like the look of them as a christmas present

Not the crates

Why are the F-15C not at 14.0 They are comparable in armament and capabilities to the F-15E in Air Combat

false. f15A Baz,f15C Baz Meshupar, f16D/c barak can carry the popeye

They have worse engines.

Can’t wait to see what’s wrong with her. Anyone taking bets? Sitting too high in the water and unreasonably slow RoF are my guesses.

They are GNSS, so it’s as precise as any other global positioning system.

UMPK adds GNSS navigation, but it’s not in the nose-cone. It’s in the strut with the diamond-faced head forward from the wings that you can see here:

Spoiler

FAB-500 UMPK

So assuming they’re modelled correctly, they’ll have GNSS. The interesting bomb, which I haven’t seen used, nor heard of, IRL, is the FAB-500T (UMPK). That would work, I assume, as GNSS+TV guidance, so you’d probably be locking something with the TV seeker and it would guide towards the target.

GNSS is crucial to the system, but it’s mostly for adjusting the control surfaces, so I don’t think it would be a pure TV guided munition, strictly speaking, although I’d assume it functions, and would be coded to be a gliding TV guided bomb essentially. Point is the stat card should read something like “TV Guided + GNSS”.

Afaik, Su-30SM/SM2 can carry the smaller ones, I’d assume they could carry a 1500kg on the centerline like they can the regular KAB-1500’s, but nonetheless they should be able to carry at least one, if not two per wing for the 500kg variants.

I’m very interested to see if the Su-24M gets some UMPK’s as well, they’ve been seen in flights with 3 1500kg UMPK’s before.

As a Japan main I’m telling you, we want Japanese vehicles first to take priority over any sub vehicle. The only exception is when there isn’t any to add for that respective BR. They shouldn’t have added a whole line. Should have just added the mid tier and high tier stuff like the Alpha Jet and F-5. Top tier CAS is covered by F-2 already…

The sub tree obsession adding more copy and paste isn’t a good thing for the game in the long run.

I hope so but Gaijin is being silent about it and I worry it won’t come soon even if Gaijin also stated it will with other comparable aircraft at the same time (which obviously did not happen).
