Has the Sea Eagle ranging on the radar being wrong been reported yet?

This shot is apparently well beyond its rMax but hit just fine

Are the almighty ItO-90Ms that intercept anything with even a hint of radial velocity not good enough for you?

Should be “decent” enough I think :P

A few SAMs located near the AFs is really not a lot.

Im talking about Radar installations and extra SAM sites scattered about the map. Maybe even as dedicated new objectives. Ideally also some new heavily defended bases made of buildings (like the deep strike event) that require both SEAD and a decent bomb load to attack effectively

That requires very good coordination. Ideally, there should also be a ground observer to perform calibration and launch attacks on the SPAA from the ground.

Good idea, but this is only really ideal on a map like Tropical Coast (Nuclear Thunder) and larger. Trying that on current maps would be hell

Im mostly thinking Air Sim and not necessarily the current ARB, Though radar installations (that dont really do anything other than give a target for ARMs) I dont see as being unreasonable for the current ARB maps.

Whilst the Nuclear Thunder map was much much larger, only a small portion was really used, so a handful of SAM sites, wouldnt be that big of a deal in ASB. Especially if marked on the map

Ah you meant just radar and nothing else. Well I mean, sure, but that would get boring fast because nothing is coming your way. It’s more fun when there’s danger, no?

In Air Sim, there should definetly be SAMs. But in ARB… I think it would be a bit too messy until such time that we get a more thorough PvE overhaul

Nuclear Thunder sucked a bit imo, because of the sheer density of the SAMs (and their overtuned nature). As well as the fairly fast respawns.

Yes. The map has been practically divided into no-fly zones. One of the ways to eliminate these no-fly zones is by using nuclear bombs. Conventional methods are extremely inefficient, but Gaijin has increased the nuclear bomb score.

The problem is that whatever gets past the IRIS-T or the Tor ends up being intercepted by the Gepards. I suspect that out of a salvo of 9 ALARMs, not a single one would make it to the airfield.

Do we know if Britain is getting any new vehicles in this next update?

I did see a leak list a few weeks ago that had a British Aussie M1A2 on it - But I find it hard to believe

Washington B.1 and Welkin, maybe more to turn up

That leak list also had a NZ Abrams. NZ hasn’t had an MBT since like the 60s or 70s.

Its a good question. 0 hint to what or even if we are getting anything for naval or ground this major from the Teaser

I’d forgot about those two entirely, mainly because the Washington will be DOA

and what the bloody hell is Welkin

Imagine Whirlwind, with longer wings, More ammo for its hispanos, and Merlins instead of peregrines

Does this mean we can use the Washington in place of the B-29 as our nuke bomber?

Made a report for the Sea eagle radar ranging issue

I dont think the Washington ever carried nukes.

Is that not the point we got them? To fill a capability gap?
