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

I think you might have missed this:

A dev stated this:

In reference to the Tornado WTD. Which implies either:

  1. Its 10.7 or lower
  2. F-16s are going up in BR

If it is the first one, then essentially identical aircraft like the Tornado MFG, no longer have justification for 11.0 and even other Tornados could have justifcation for 11.0. At least for now.

The other option is the WTD will have some kind of major handicap. Like significantly weaker engines, but it would still likely be supersonic.

Have you got “what about italy/what’s italy getting?” yet? Maybe even a “where’s DRACO” on that RR bingo list? Cause if you do, I’ll help out and ask, is Italy to get a rank 8 in this coming update?

R-73 is short range.

Do you mean Aim-120Bs?

italy literaly got the most attention the whole last year lol

My brain thought I typed 120B.

And I loved it, it was so nice that they finally got a bit of love

Which is why Mytho mentioned R-73s…

But I think like R-27ER vs Skyflash ST vs Aim-7M. The winner will be the one with A) the better seeker and B) the one that is faster.

Range rarely has any impact in WT, especially as most will be firing at the same range

was very confused cause im sure the R77 outranges a early sidewinder so i knew you missed typed just got what on wrong

And? US and Russia is getting loved every year

F4F ICE next…

and U.K.

Oh? We doin updates by nation per year instead of blanket across the board? I mean sure they got the Hungarian branch, but I want Italian vehicles added to the Italian tech tree, seeing there are many that would nicely fill many of the existing gaps in the tech tree.

f-16 and tornado in the same update, they got the tornado adv as well, freccia first tech tree with spike missles, next update they got a whole other tech tree line with KF41 another IFV with spikes. Lets not forget the AV-8B out of nowhere as well

EDIT: oh yeah forgot the new heli AH-129D as well

But I just hope that we dont get fillers instead of domestic stuff, like later Tornados or Harriers and I just hope we arent still asking for even a Prototype Typhoon this time next year whilst fighting 13.3s in the 12.3 we get this year (assuming we even get a 12.3 this year, or even next year)

They also got to skip the dark days of the early Tornado F3. Those 3 months were brutal. That F3 could have been 10.3 and still underperformed
