I can’t recall tbh… I just hope it comes tomorrow, I’ve got a day off so let me tell you I will spade that F/A-18C lol

After this major update, I want add 3 camouflages (200 GE) in the second quarter

Harrier GR.5A equivalent ?

J-11BH (PLAAF) camouflages

But, J-11BH fitted type 1493 like J-11B & J-15 or type 1474 ?

I still feel conflicted about the 18C late. On one side imo it looks sooo ugly and performance wise it looks pretty mid, but it also looks fun to fly in certain situations.

Well, I’m gonna be unlocking the Tracked Rapier, just so I can be mad at Gaijin for screwing it up, then give the Harry Hopkins a go, so people can call me a loser for playing at such a low BR and then I’ll wait for the 2S19M2 to unlock while grinding for that Fiat Firos

This is also my plan, though I plan to use the Rapier to unlock the fiat, I do hope to have a fun time using the rapier.

The most enjoyable part is gonna be trying to kill tanks with it. Probably not gonna be nearly as much fun as popping MBTs with Starstreaks though

Too bad they couldn’t be bothered to add the fricken MG tho…

It is very unlikely that J-15 or J-11BH is using the so-called Type 1474, because that is not how the Chinese radar designations work.

The 9 in 1493 is the diameter of the radar. Why would the J-15 and J-11BH use a smaller 700mm array compared to the 900mm one?

I believe J-15 and J-11BH is using 1493 or at least a variant of it with more air-to-ground or air-to-surface modes for anti-ship purpose.

1474 if it exists might be the designation for the ESA radar on the J-10B, but that’s just my speculation of course.

When can i await the Update?

You’ll know when they post a maintenance announcement

That’s a screenshot from the dev server. You have to download and install a separate dev server client and it’s only available for a limited period of time in the lead-up to a major update.

Also lack of the dual purpose missile is a shame too. Then again I have never seen any data around it so cant say if it would be useful or not.

You can await the update now if you like :)

FR though, strong chance tomorrow, the new skins being added generally is an indication of a patch the next day/2 days.
