Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

doubt it

october update is to small for a new carrier mechanic

eh no idea what that means

hopefuly at least not russians, they got their missle launcher last update

well seems intresting, but not sure if it is the first choice between all the missing US planes

War Thunder has this for every aircraft if you enable mouse aim basically.

Yes, but they are all different. GJ has emulated the FBW to the best of their ability and did a great job imo. That is why I can fly circles all day in the Blk 50 & stay G-locked and lose little speed. Placing the same artificial “hand holding” on the Mig29 would be wrong as it’s a fighter reliant solely on the pilot’s own skill and should be that way.

It’s just held back in areas already mentioned and why it does not perform where it should.

Its really not. Players keep trying to rate fight a jet that was designed to not lose energy when GJ gave the Mig29 the best missiles, so they do not have to.

The M2K is supported by a great FBW but it cannot rate with the F16. Does really good though. It will always be hindered by its delta configuration. Dassault stuck with the delta as it has its benefits the F16 does not. Extremely aerodynamic and lighter not requiring an insanely high thrust heavy engine & amazing straight line speed performance. Also, higher alpha performance. But rate performance goes to the traditional winged tail design of the F16.

Oh, and delta winged fighters are physically stronger too. Longer service life.

that would be good

or Gnat/Alpha jet

Whether they modeled FBW in or not, you still don’t fly the aircraft, you tell it what to do with mouse aim. It’s basically an auto pilot where you select heading and pitch with the input being your mouse rather than dial knobs on a regular autopilot.

Atleast, flying under auto pilot are valid flying hours but this is in relation to the Israeli pilot considering FBW “telling your aircraft what to do”.

Laat year there was an 10 year anniversary event with the Sturmtiger as prize. 11 year anniversary sounds a bit less spectacular but still, anyone expecting another event?

i mentionned one circle, not rate fighting.
Also FBW would limit the f16 to 9 or 11G. Correct me if i’m wrong, but i think it can pull much more right now

the delta acts as a giant airbrake at high aoa, so you can bleed your speed to turn on a dime basically. Then in a one circle what’s important is staying slow, and the delta does a great job.
As you mentioned, delta struggles in 2 circles

J-10 this update?
Or maybe Aspides to the J-8F?

I’m not even a french main, Rafale is just a cool plane and arguably the best of the can*rd fighters. I’d love to see it.

Why, just why did you do that?

It couldn’t use Aspides.

some people have an Irrational hatred for everything with Canards

Canards are sexy, though.

Any circle depends on how good a fighters turn rate and radius is.

Personally, I think F-16A MLU in china tech tree it might be F-16A Block 20 MLU (late)

I secretly hoping gaijin consider add sensor and another Air-to-Ground armament on F-16A MLU this month because currently missing LANTIRN Sharpshooter & Pathfinder, GBU-10 & GBU-12 Paveway II LGB, BLU-1B&E 750lb fire bomb and AGM-65G-2 Maverick, and migth hope gaijin consider AIM-9M-9 replacement AIM-9L & AIM-9P replace by AIM-9P-4 next major update

I guess december gaijin could add AIM-120C-3 & increase Air RB & Air SB BR. to 12.7

Currently USA tech tree no lightweight fighter 11.0, 11.3 & 11.7 fill gap F-5E & F-16A Block 10, attack aircraft 11.7, lack heavy 4th gen fighter aircraft, lightweight multirole fighter from USN/USMC and missing aircraft 10.3-11.3 in bomber line

But I guess F-20A Tigershark not in folder with F-5E because better F-5E 74% and could add before F-16A Block 10 & Block 15 ADF in rank VIII

Oh I forgot to mention. I think it the J10 will be coming along with the other Delta Canards. Probably 2 in a cool patch.

Everyone gets one (except the British)
