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

So what missiles do we think the Su-27, F-15A and Gripen are getting.

I assume R-73 and R-27ER/ET for Su-27, AIM-9M and AIM-7M for F-15A and AIM-9M and very maybe skyflashes for the Gripen? At least with current information?

That would not be the ussue really.
But is that thing really capable of carrying 4 small fueltanks?

yea, i know

Did that with the march update this year, because the friday was on a certain date that was better to avoid.

I think that’s basically it. If we are gonna see Fox-3’s this update, they might only be for planes that already had the ability to carry them…

Japanese f-15 getting only 9L and 7f\m unless there will be AAM-3

That it BS to add a M4k that never made it out of prototype while other stuff remains unfinished or bugged

You should look in the Mirage 2000 thread
Yes they were talking about the 4000 in the 2000 thread

@soviet_MoonMan looks like the earliest 27 to get the 150 would be the SM, so unless that’s what we’re getting I wouldn’t hold your breath for it

True, but those were exceptional circumstances

Trailer had no ARH and a ir only gripen so it seems it will be ir only unless ARH are added

Well I ask about the Chinese as I believe they already had access to better RWR’s by the time of manufacturing the first J-11’s so it would seem weird to me that they would make them with worse RWR’s than previous jets they had

The J-11 is a copy of the 27SK, which is just an export S with some radar changes that don’t matter since that largely involves air to ground modes which we don’t get anyways for whatever reason

Could be used as a balancing way. The F-15J being based on the F-15C with the improved engines but with worse IR missiles.

I guess we’ll see then, but probably no it sounds like…

Jp got worse thermals(1gen) for type81(c) which was made ~5 years after type93(3gen) so everything is possible

what about this picture then ?
It can carry more than six Magics.
I did not know that the graph referred the the MICAs though

Just enjoy the sexy white paint job

Is this game ready to receive hybrid IR missiles?
