Community Update No.10: Starting The Year Off!

Ignoring the 120D - its nice to see the PL-12A finally, I hope we will also see later Chinese Flankers sooner than later (J-15T, J-16…).

As for the IFV part; I hope there are at least some modern ATGM carrying IFVs for Japan / ASEAN tech tree, these are long overdue.

Looking at my IRIS-T SLM, I doubt that you will noticed GNNS

No, C-7 use a new one. “Beginning with the AIM-120C-7 the missile has an enhanced motor with an additional 5 inches of propellant and is commonly referred to as the “+5 rocket motor”.”

When has it been in Gaijin’s interest in reviving naval when they’re just trying to keep the old players from leaving right now lol

Considering US players cant break KD of 1 on F-16C for Jan 2026, i doubt 120D will make a difference.

Being rolled out across the entire USN Super Hornet fleet.

IRL =/= in-game, fairly certain the only difference in-game with the C7s is the name.

The datamines support that

That is a mistake. The AIM-120C-5 is what added the +5 rocket motor. That source is incorrect.

Well their plane is a big fat BVR slinger that can do nothing when at least half of the players know how to notch missiles, even worse for AMRAAM and when it WVR against the current top tier meta being Rafale and EF, there is nothing Eagle can do to survive. F-16C is bleak due to it missile loadout and Hornet/Super Hornet are just flies that annoys you.

God no, give Block 72. There are far better introductory options for the end-line Vipers that offer more unique attributes.

You mean peak, right?

F-16C is a fun plane to use
not amazing, but fun as hell
definitely peak imo

That source is from US Air Combat Command sheet so you tell me.

Ive spaded it in the last two weeks and its my new favorite.

Was and never will be with it loadout and CM count which is guh.

Block 72 is a Block 70 with Pratt & Whitney engine. It will be worse in-game

Not gonna lie, they should have added aam4B if they’re adding aim120d. F15jm and F2a can use a buff rn

Yeah, quite literally the entire point of the A-5 → A-10 upgrade was to introduce the -220

Revival or not, they mention many changes & additions to the mode that are upcoming, the torpedo travking is a QoL change along with the crew depletion tabs.
