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

IRL the AAM-4 is an AIM-120C-5 counterpart. In game, it’s worse than the AIM-120A/B.

This whole F-2 discourse reminds me of all people who voiced concern over the Hungarian subtree being added since it meant less priority would be placed on domestic Italian vehicles.

And in response gaijins statement:tm: on the matter was that “they will get added soon:tm: we promise”

I am sure the Italian players are happy playing their line of Aermacchi jets and Centauro II among other domestic Italian Vehicles that have been added in the last 2 or so years since Hungary was added.

Just like i am sure the French players are happy with all the Domestic light tanks that gaijin has added…

Oh wait

Lol. Talk about ugly, a plane only a mother brit could love. Lol.

The AAM-4B is an AAM-4 with an AESA seeker and a few other changes. It has nothing to do with the AIM-120B.

And… wasn’t this initially a thing with South African tanks?
Not that it matters particularly, since the SA Subtree is possibly the only Subtree that is actually vaguely unique (with the obvious exception of the Gripen)

She’s a beautiful girl, what do you mean.

I mean, I’ll grant you she’s slightly less pretty when you can see some smoke trails (or someone’s rocket motor) racing away from the wings, aimed directly at your face, but still.

Vulcan with 12x Aim-54.

I dont think anyone would complain if it was around 9.0 ish? With air spawn of course

Oh god, That thing.

Seriously, I know we’ve had some daft ideas, but who concocted that particular plan?

Of 10km, because why the bloody hell not?

Does anyone have the Ostwind prem picture on hand?

Yep, otherwise it would be unfair given the large size of the Vulcan :P

Does it even have a radar??

Yea that’s what I’m saying, this obsession with sub-trees is dangerous. It’s one thing to specific vehicles that a native nation doesn’t have, but another to put a whole slew of unnecessary C&P vehicles

The proposal was to give it a very large radar.

also, the climbing performance under the weight of that volley would also be restrictive, I think we need a 15,000m airspawn instead. just to balance it out.

Did it ever fly though?

The Vulcan? Yes

But the proposal to make the ultimate bomber hunter. No never got off the drawing board. But a Vulcan with 12x Aim-54 and a massive radar. Is just an hilarious thought

christ sir, do you not have any sense of humour 😄

And Gaijin has said that next year will be dedicated to them, also. Gaijin isn’t doing a very good job of showing that they don’t just take the path of least effort.
