Super Étendard

Thanks Gaijin for the lame Super Etendard 😐

Yeh hopefully we get a second in the future

We don’t play with hopes, just with what we have 🙄

If you think about it, most of the old 10.0 tanks that you would of had a line up around are now 10.3, so adding AS.30Ls wouldn’t make a huge difference to the plane anyway. Could sill easily be 10.0 with 30Ls IMO.

Gaijin begs to differ.

Would be nice if the plane could be 9.3 or 9.7 since it won’t have AS30LS missiles as an option.

Well without:
AM.39
MAGIC-II
AS.30L

I don’t see how the single use of GBU-12 is making this aircraft a 10.0 BR.

The Current Etendard IVM is an 9.0 aircraft, on which it is normal to see,…

The new one is 10.0 only because Magic-I and GBU-12, in which BR 2x AS.30L loadout already exists,… and so we would have good use for it.

Even more considering the low amount of weapons, in comparison to counterparts such as A-6 /A-10 /Su-25’s having IR All-Aspect missile (“them”)

I don’t ming the Super-Etendard being 10.3or 10.7 IF they add the Magic-II on it.

It currently have no need to change of BR if AM.39 Exocet is added to it.

The weapons carry on the Super Etendard, in the current state on the dev serv, is simply a bad joke.
Could this all be due to BR 10?
9 GBU-12 on A-6E
4 GBU-12 on Super Etendard
Same BR…

the thing we lack is missile destroyers/frigate

a bit sad the super E lacks the feature that made it famous

It also faster and has an internal gun unlike the A-6.

Game changer?

The A-6 can carry more guided bombs even if you take a gun pod, and has an internal TGP (SEM requires belly mounted ATLIS pod which would remove the guns in real life). If both planes forgo guns, the A-6 also carries more potent missiles that have longer range, and are all aspect.

There’d be no changes tho… it’d be the same capabilities.
AS-30s, anti-ship missiles, Magic 1s, GBUs at 10.0.

The Super Modernised is using Magic-2’s which are the only weapon that can requires to move it up to 10.7 as minimum

I don’t think giving it Magic 2s which would now make it 11.0+ due to IRCCM, is a good idea when it makes the aircraft useless in ground & naval, while borderline useless for air.

yeah that’s the thing with this plane, we lack the whole environment in which it should be used : cold war ships

for anti air it’s just going to be in that odd spot where the airframe is too weak for the weapons it carry.

I don’t see any reason to hold the as30l back however

A7-E is uselless too?

For the most part, yes.

Well,… so only russian and Us have the right to have fun with their new missiles in to low BR

Also, considering that the Super Étendard only have 2 of those Magic-2’s and have no SARH

At 11.0 , many aircrafts start to use SARH missiles, while also having a lot more speed (mach 2), and having at least 4 missiles (apart maybe Mirage 3 variants).

Also considering A-10/A-6 have 4 missiles at a lower BR than what i just proposed. I feel like it is a correct BR for a potential Magic-2’s Super Étendard.

I also agree to have a quick BR change up to 11.0 if it’s showing to much results within the first 2 months.

You forgot France, Britain, and Italy.
And they’re not too low of a BR.
A-10 has 9Ls, not 9Ms.

You just want 9Ms at 10.7.
In which case, sure, add 9Ms to A-10 if you want their equivalent on Super Etendard.
