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

AMRAAMs in one of 2 next patches in 2024

Well, I hope someone can post some solid evidence regarding the Gripen A vs C. Really hoping something good enough comes to the UK.

Excited for tomorrow!

That reminds me, anyone know if they’re going to give the 90M 3bm59?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but do you happen to know how this compares to the Gripen, MiG-29SMT/G and F-16C?

it’s likely, but don’t expect it to make a huge difference

They might as well, it has barely more penetration than 3BM60 so it wouldn’t make a difference.

3BM59 is around equal to M829A1.

Du offers quite the improvement over tungsten. Sure it’s not going to spike it into 700mm or anything like that but it should add at least another 20mm or sm

Incorrect. Flares on the F-15A are proof it is an MSIP aircraft, which fielded the AN/APG-63(V)1 from the 90s.

The AN/APG-68(V)7 on the F-16C is from the late 80s.

The APG-63 series is also significantly larger, meaning it requires more power but can be much more accurate and powerful.

The one in the trailer was the Strv 122B+

the difference is not massive, but the F-15 should be a little bit better than the F-16 IIRC

What is wanted or not is subjective. This update is very much wanted by personally me because I don’t care about the lower BR stuff.

I’m 100% ready for the SEPv2, F’15 and what I assume to be the 2A7V.

Im really hoping we get the dev stream tomorrow, it staying awake means it will just take me longer to find out

I’m kinda curious why people want the Abrams hull upgrade. Like yeah sure it’s better than no armor but it’s gonna make you slower and no one shoots these things in the hull front anyways, pretty much always the turret ring

I kill 90% on my Abrams through the hull

Typically pure instinct to shoot center mass

why
Center of mass is pretty much the turret ring on that thing

Also if the improved hull really only provides 520-550mm vsKE it won’t make much of a difference at top tier.

@Smin1080p From what I know japanese f-15 can not carry aim9m so it will left behind meta with aim9m and r73. I heard “devs saying AAM-3 for japan is better aim9m so it is not coming soon” can you confirm that’s true or not and if there is a chance for AAM-3 soon?

Yikes, yeah I’m gonna enjoy my friends meltdown when he finds out about that

I see, russia main instinct, huh?
judgemental look
