Oh fair. I was going off the example of the Taiwanese Mirage 2k. Which started off at 12.0 because it had no cas weaponry, but got moved to 12.7 pretty quickly after release.

it might change. Technically Finland did eventually fit their F-18s with A2G ordnance, so maybe if gaijin shows Sweden some mercy they add it and this thing goes to 12.7

The A models could and did use the 9M.
I cant get over the fact that the DF105 took 4 years to arrive in the french ground tree…

Since it’ll be 12.7 and not 13.0, as well as before the F-14A, it won’t be getting AIM-9Ms.
The F-22 has insanely powerful engines it’s gonna be a beast. It’s realistic to expect from December 2025 and on, as nothing else can be added.

Do you mean there’s nothing to be added between the next update and the F-22?
I mean there’s no new airframe left to be added for the usually biggest update of the year that brings the new airframes.
The F/A-18E would be a new airframe.
Guess what will not come after they add another Soviet magicship that nobody knew how it would be:
Yes, 7.3 BR. Because somehow my light cruiser has to face it and cannot pen anywhere
It’s still an F/A-18, and since it was in this update’s leak list I’d say it’s realistic to think it will drop next update.
Honestly, an early F-22 can be added even rn. Like yes, it’s better in dogfights than almost/everything else. But it would lacks of HMD
Radar… Su-30SM would be surely better, just because of how gaijin models AESA and PESA and better gimbal limits
As for BVR - if leak with 77-1 true - su30sm would be better, just due theyre performs same as 120A in range, but can maneuvr way better, aswell as more of them
Only advantage of raptor - RCS
Hmm, maybe you’re right. I’d still say the stealth of the F-22 would be the real game changer here. But yeah the Su-30SM is probably going to dominate the Meta rn, I’m saying the F-22 can drop in December and not earlier because it’s usually the super hyped and biggest update of the year so if gaijin were to drop 5th Gens they’d probably choose this one.
atleast that lineup can still see 11.0
at the regular full uptier f18 still can fight them cause it still is a 14.0 plane
and in the rare case of downtier (still see plenty 12.0 and 12.3 match when playing my 11.3 lineup, so it musn’t be that rare) i can enjoy my time fighting cas br 11.7 and under
This leak list…
How have we gone 21 consecutive major updates without adding a single top tier AA to Israel.
Why in anno domini two thousand and twenty five, am i still ‘fighting’ (more like helplessly spectating) 14.0’s in a 9.7.
Can snail start a gofundme so we can speed up the modelling of HVSD/ADAMS or Spyder please? I’ll gladly contribute.
