So based on the R-77-1 in that leak…is Gaijin walking back their statement in the CM Disclosure No.4 about the R-77-1???
this was never going to happen but it would’ve been absolutely hilarious and made more sense than F-16AJ
Brakeet is sort of being used as a trainer now iirc now that the Barak (F-16C) has been retired, although i believe the IAF is still flying combat sorties with the D alongside the I
Certainly looks that way, silly Russians they just open themselves up for the Western power creep
Its the T-80U and Leopard 2A5 all over again.
No idea, but maybe they wanted to get the hornets out first and just didn’t have time.
Still, there’s obviously a good degree of confidence it is coming to even put it on the leak list, otherwise why not wait till the last minute. Either way we’ll see tomorrow.
Well yeah, now it might be used as a trainer, but they were full combat aircraft when Israel received them

Yeah ofc, the chassis is based around the trainer version, especially the A7K. They are combat capable like 90% of the trainers.
Good question.
Yeah they have only been used as operational conversion trainers very recently
So the next question is will their R-77-1 be comparable to the AIM-120B??? Or will the AIM-120C5 be added???
nope
The R-77-1 won’t be much of an upgrade outside of increased range. There is no reason for NATO nations to get AIM-120C-5 just because the USSR suddenly has a bit more range.

It will be AIM-120B equivalent in the best case scenario.
Likely it will end up in between MICA and PL-12 range, likely on the higher end. AIM-120C-5 is not needed.
The R-77-1 should be the standard counterpart to the AIM-120A/B really

Would be useful if we could see nation popularity and winrates as then the community could push for things in a better way
French Coastal might just be saved with the coming update:
From Olivia’s leaks:
🇫🇷 Flower Class Aconit - 2.3/2.3/2.3 - after fr_mtb96_vosper
🇫🇷 Marne Class Marne - 3.0/3.0/3.0 - after LCG (M) L9059
🇫🇷 VTB-12 mod - 1.0/1.0/1.0 - new start of tree
🇫🇷 VTB-18 - 1.0/1.0/1.0 - after VTB-12mod
and
The Following ships have been removed from the trees unless you already own them
(…)
🇫🇷 VTB-8, VTB-11, VTB-14
Depending if the 2 new rank I boats will get better armament than the VTB-8, 11 and 14, this might actually prove to be a great update for anyone starting with French coastal ships. The addition of the 2.3 Flower Class and the 3.0 Marne class is also very nice to see, as France really lacks decent line-ups at the lower BR’s of Coastal.
The absolute removal of these reserve ships is saddening, so maybe we could see them as separate vehicles from the tech tree instead?

It’s tough because players no longer play a singular nation they play the flavour of the week. Which is the Rafale right now.
But next update it will be the Su-30

Come on Gaijin, stop hiding vehicles
I mean there isn’t much left to add in terms of mbt’s outside of tech demonstrators and maybe an Abrams variant or two, but I completely get it. Not getting content for your prefered game mode for years sucks.
They could ‘free’ them and make them optional. Like some French and Japanese tanks in rank I.
Edit: seems like they will do exactly that!
