Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Nah, that’s the older version of the LANCE turret used on the demonstrator and Block 1 CRVs.
Block 2 turret is different if you look at the shroud over the barrel and the optics (LANCE 2 turret has SEOSS-2), plus where the SPIKE launchers are located

So we need to call it: Boxer CRV Block II (P)

I guess germany has a lot of paper tanks :/ if we are counting things removed anyway

Are pre-italian props paper too then? We should count those too

Some aircraft will move up, for Japan that’s probably the Malaysian Su-30MKM. Then there’s the Indonesian Rafale B F.4 for the future (probably when the French C F.4 is added too or maybe an update later) and some existing aircraft can either get new armament or new variants with new armament added too.

So waiting for the Gripen E should be fine

They have one left and I’m pretty sure they’re planning to replace that eventually. The R2Y2s were relics of the same time as the Panther II, Tiger 105 and Flakpanzer 341 and have already been removed. Back then these were the only options, now they are not anymore.

I don’t think we’ll see any more new paper additions in the game, at most we’ll see some unfinished prototype (like Yak-141) style additions once 5th gens come to break up the monotony of F-35 vs F-35.

Something like the 26DMU, A-12 and XFV-12, but even then those are probably still at least a year off.

i mean they could just rename it to demonstrator/block I rather than having to do model changes

it’s a good choice, you have soviets while you started playing Italy, so you have soviets, have sweds, have eurofighter, it’s already good enough, I would even say too much, it would be good if you had only nato jets

Peak! hopefully next year

If they want to add it within the next year or so they’re also forced to make another twin seat aircraft which is nice.

No, not really. The first MiG-29s arrived in Malaysia in April 1995, and the last car was delivered on June 5 of the same year.Of the 18 migs, named Миг-29Н (MiG-29N) and Миг-29НУБ (MJG-29NUB), the 17th and 19th squadrons of the Malaysian Air Force were formed. On the MiG-29N, the instrument scales are graded in the English numeral system, all technical labels are made in English, and the Rita voice warning system also works in English. The on-board equipment includes AN/ARN-139 TACAN radio navigation system equipment, and a GPS satellite navigation system receiver.
By the spring of 1998, the modernization of the first Malaysian MiG-29 was completed through the joint efforts of Malaysian and Russian engineers. He received engines with an increased resource and an in-flight fuel refueling system. The flight of the modified machine was carried out by the test pilot of the MAPO MIG, R.P.Taskaev, on April 8, 1998. At the next stage of modernization, it was planned to bring the Malaysian Migs to the MiG-29SD standard, equipping them with the Topaz radar sighting system and RVV-AE missiles. But the improvements were not completed.

Thus, if it is the Mig-29N in the game, then there can be no question of any new radar. If it is already a Mig-29SD, then you need to change the name in the game. But RVV-AE missiles, for example, cannot be in any way, they have not been upgraded to such a level.

no it would be french under algeria obviously

@Smin1080p_WT may I ask with the New planes like the AESA Eurofighter or new Su-30SM2, are the devs considering about increasing the max Air BR again this update or not?

Probably the most needed one too considering how the Israeli air tree is set up right now

That would be the sensible thing to do, I think. Just call it Boxer CRV (P) or some variation of Boxer LAND 400-P2 (TD)
The whole “Block 2” thing is primarily what’s wrong with it. Not that it’s representing Aus
