Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 3)

Indeed.

I’m not afraid of the M4K as premium, it would be sad, BUT i would jump on it since i’m sad of the French premium jet states…

What i’m afraid of is it’s coming as event or other thing i would NEVER have the time to grind it.

There was only one ever made, so there won’t be a premium or event version, fortunately.

Welp gripen is doa and f15 will be mid af without aim120.

We will see, i hope ^^

But we could have an early and a late variant with planned things… x)

And with aim-9L’s and aims-7

Could the radar guide MICAs? If so, I can see them adding a “late” version some time down the line after it.

If you mean gripen, then still doa. f15 wont be doa because the airframe is so good, but to think it will in any way compete with r73 and r27er/et on su27 is laughable.

I don’t think the Gripen is DoA.

I think it’s like the M2K-5F :

A capable plane that’s gonna shine the day we have fox3.

No, i mean F-15

It’s the first Euro-canard, and that’s all that matters for me.

Unless we get aim120, there wont be a point to playing anything that isn’t the f16c or the su27. Unless they fix the f16 fm which isn’t likely.

why is everyone saying gripen will be doa

The F-15 will likely be a bit better than the F-16C.

No radar missiles.

F15 might be a great airframe, but it feels like you’re gonna just have to hide in a corner if you ever want to abuse it’s performance. The F16 will still be the only option imo

With the current f16 fm, I doubt it lol.

Perhaps because people strongly think it was on par with other European canards (EF/Rafales) planes and think it would lead the meta ?

Honestly I’d even be happy with an F15A Early and an F15C, I’d happily grind two vehicles if it meant I’d have something capable of playing the game

Those extra missiles really make a difference.
