Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

[Antezscar]

i tried the same with the Gripens. dosnt seem he even wanna send it to the devs for concideration.

Suggestion for the armament on the JAS 39A and JAS 39C

Suggestion for updating the armament on the JAS 39A and JAS 39C now that we get AIM 120C-5 Because right now it feels like you are downgrading yourself if you go from the JA37DI to the JAS 39A. So my idea is to add AIM-120B to JAS 39A and raise its BR to 13.7 and AIM-120C5 or C-8 to JAS 39C and raise its BR to 14.0. I, and likley many more are fully willing to let the JAS 39A and JAS 39C get a jump up in BR if this happens. According to Arms transfer database Sweden bought a batch of 53 Ai…

Also uhhh, hi there i’m the writer of that report. And i just wanna say that uhh, no, the F-2 does not use AoA manuevering IRL. It uses a G-maneuvering system, the AoA system is solely for the deployment of flaperons/leading edges.

Hey. Its not been claimed the F-2 uses AoA manoeuvring IRL. I was referring to the feature as it is in game. Not the induvial systems each particular aircraft uses.

[Xeno_quaza]

Ahh i see, my bad.

Because it has already been considered and the answer has been provided by the devs that its currently just for the 14.0s. We cannot pass something that has already been considered.

@Smin1080p_WT Hi, I’m taking advantage of the fact that you’re talking about the Phimat, in the server dev the Mirage F1s received the Phimat but only on its starboard side but irl it can also use it on the port side (it is possible to carry two pods simultaneously). I’ve made several bug reports but none have been noticed so far, would it be possible to foward it ?

@Smin1080p_WT

We cannot pass something that has already been considered.

So the F-15J(M) was already considered to receive AIM-120C-5?

Because it’s somewhat obscure information that Japan even had the C-5 it seems like something the devs might not have thought of but would be interested to consider with the current lack of 14.0 for Japan.

can also just… you know… fix the AAM-4

[MAUSWAFFE]

Would be nice, but also not quite the same.

Fixed AAM-4 would have similar range still, but lower seeker range (15km vs 16km now), lower G load (25G vs 32G now), with the main improvements being the improved datalink and frequency modulation. It can also still only be carried on the fuselage, which would mean the average ARB lineup still uses 2 AMRAAMs.

So personally I’d like to see both. Shouldn’t be an issue at 14.0 anyways

@artan24

it seems US Army had its own mobile version of MIM-23 lol

The bottom one is Israeli last I checked, I don’t believe it derives from an American made system.

Correction, it is an Israeli variant, but the US Army did test this variant, maybe even used it. It might even be a similar or the same system as shown above. However it wasn’t created by the US, but rather for them, and the Israelis ended up using them it seems.

Shenav has let me down countless times, will not grind

Hi smin. What are the news of restoring 100% capabilities of the PL-12s?

[noobnooby657]

what if we just go back to aim 9b and r3

[artan24]

chatgpt response:

The MiG-29 Sniper, the unique Romanian-Israeli upgrade of the MiG-29, was enhanced to carry a more advanced and versatile weapons loadout compared to the original MiG-29. Here’s a rundown of the types of weapons it could carry:

Air-to-Air Missiles

• R-73 (AA-11 Archer): Highly maneuverable short-range infrared-guided missile.
• R-27 (AA-10 Alamo): Medium to long-range missile, available in infrared and semi-active radar homing variants.
• Potential for other upgraded missile types due to modernization, but primarily these Soviet-standard missiles.

Air-to-Ground Weapons

• Kh-29 (AS-14 Kedge): Large, precision air-to-ground missile for attacking fortified targets.
• Kh-25 (AS-10 Karen): Smaller, precision-guided missile for ground attack roles.
• Various guided bombs and unguided rockets could also be carried, depending on mission requirements.

Guns

• The standard 30mm GSh-30-1 cannon, internally mounted on the MiG-29 airframe.

Additional Upgrades

• Integration of modern Israeli avionics and targeting systems allowed for improved targeting accuracy, enabling the Sniper to deploy these weapons more effectively.

Hi smin. What are the news of restoring 100% capabilities of the PL-12s?

Im not sure spesifically what you mean by this, but as with all matters of this kind, if you have valid public sources that show something is incorrect, you can report it here: Community Bug Reporting System

Ai detected, opinion rejected

[Surbaissemaxxing]

Once again, chatgpt or any AI is not a valid source

Romania never even had Kh-29’s

[Shin_Kazama]

Hey @Smin1080p_WT , sorry to bother you again with this, but are there any plans to add the 275 gallon drop tanks from the Swiss F-5E to any other F-5E and the F-20?

[Smin1080p_WT]

Hey. Not that im currently aware, but if they are cross compatible, it can be reported as other aircraft have been.

[MatrixRupture]

Hello @Smin1080p_WT

Are there any plans to finish the Sea Harrier HUD and the FRS.1 eegs?

There are many features incorrect and still missing.

What about the massive lack of flight performance in the harriers as well?

There are many CBR in that are several months old.

[Shin_Kazama]

Understandable. It would be absolutely wonderful if they could at least be brought over to the F-20.

I do currently have a bug report that was acknowledged/accepted regarding the F-20’s missing 275 gallon tanks, so I’m not sure I could submit another without it being seen as a duplicate.
