but retain LANTIRN AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod like F-15E in the desert storm

From the Iraqi freedom but before integraded AIM-9X Sidewinder and Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)

F-15E in 2003 drop GBU-31(V)1/B only

Rockwell GBU-15 another variant but newer and better GBU-15(V)1/B & GBU-15(V)2/B

Spoiler
  • GBU-15(V)31/B
  • GBU-15(V)32/B
  • GBU-15(V)1C/B
  • GBU-15(V)2C/B

Boeing (Rockwell) AGM-130. my guess

Hey guys, if there are no Chinese planes in the leaked picture, does that mean there are no Chinese aircraft updates for this version?

No. Leaks rarely contain even 2/3 of the additions. The reliable leak list that I’m personally trusting has only a handful of vehicles on it

That being said. October updates have been historically light on aircraft and with the last few updates being quite heavily air focused, I could see ground getting the majority of additions along with a few good naval additions.

Last year that was the F111A, JH-7A and Mig-29G. That was it for aircraft.

You lot just had the J-10 and the JF-17 so I would expect some lower aircraft count for China this update

What do you think, do we have a chance to get a teaser today?

No, next best chance is thursday

israel should def get the IAI Lavi

i dont see why the israeli f15e or f15I will not be added as its name is literlly “Ra’am” or in english “Thunder”

It’s possible that aircraft like the Tornado GR.4 and Mirage 2000D RMV might get more advanced IIR missiles; after all, there was a MICA IR in the files.

It’s possible, and GR4 would be my guess for the first aircraft to get them, but I think it’s a tad too early this update. But soon™

For which tree?

I know this may be unrelated but how do I report bugs/glitches in warthunder, the bug being the ability to create a weapon preset with the R-23T while being not researched on the Mig-23M
