It’s like playing grand chess just to get a fictional weapon removed in a ‘realistic’ game lol

For cool stuff, I’d say the USSR by far with the Foxbat and BMPT. But for meta, any of the AESA typhoon nations or China with the J-10C

Im obviously answering in the context of the topic which is for fixed wing aviation.
We have had ground launched or helicopter launched versions of missiles in game long before fixed wing.
Not this major.

Speaking of which, is there a possibility of the AH-1Z getting 9X soon?
Okay, thanks! Monday dev updates are usually light, hahah. We will have to see over the week!
I think it would be neat if they continued adding physics to tanks, just as they started. No new physics, still missing Merkava chains, and new tanks coming without physics (M1A2T has flappy mudguards that aren’t implemented so far) makes me fear they may have canned the new physics :'(
Nothing to currently report.

Curious to see what the final features of the Rosy system is going to be implemented on the Abrams, seeing as it’s non functional right now aside from smoke launchers
With the introduction of the new SAMS will we be seeing airfields pushed back even further in ground RB and SIM? Theres been too many cases of aircraft taking off and INSTANTLY being shot down by the new SAM systems which is rather stupid.
Also now we have theses SAMs, is there any news on SEAD/ DEAD weaponry like ARM and CBUs?
Thanks for the clarification, and i get why it’s not this major, but i feel like it should be by the next major since 5th gen are expected in the second half of 2026. Also these new AESA jets are all lacking their IRL domestically produced missiles (especially for european aircraft that are carrying 30+ year old american weaponry but whatever). Also the IRIS-T and Aim-9x have been in the game for almost half a year soon, so i feel like they have been balance tested thoroughly atleast for ground launched variants.
How about on the new EFs?
Maybe an new Weapon or an possibly folderred EF ?

Any news regarding giving the AESA Typhoons just a little extra to make the grind feel more worthwhile and to better distinguish them from their previous M-Scan version? (Striker II, Litening V, better A2G, Better DASS, etc etc)

Yes, because we dont have them on fixed wing aviation currently. For reasons already explained.
which SAM can “INSTANTLY” shoot down an aircraft taking off from 20 km’s away? The iris-t got massively nerfed in terms of lock range and all other sams are useless since they are ARH and get fooled by the ground way too easily.
I get that, but are there any plans to have them on fixed wings in the near future? (next 1-2 majors)??
these missiles are IIR, and cannot be flared, unless you want the entire gamemode of Air RB to break this is a very very bad idea, that’s why ECM/LDIRCM/EW is required with longer ranged ARHs to prevent the monstrosity which is IIR unflareable gameplay. also the R-73 is not game-breakingly more overpowered than the other counterparts like PL-5EII, Magic 2 and 9M
BVVD said on stream ECM/EW would come before 5th gen fighters so personally i think we’ll see IIRs near the time we get 5th generation aircraft
Why is that? The brochure does not specify whether it refers to the Irkutsk or KnAAPO variant; it only mentions the Su-30MK. I don’t think the Russians would intentionally favor KnAAPO in this regard.
Im personally guessing that, assuming its something they want to have in place before or with 5th gens, which could be as early as June update Shudders
Though I think it is quite clear they are setting the stage for them. F-16I, AESA Typhoons, F-18E. All aircraft ideally placed to recieve them
“Cannot be flared” is a massive overstatement. The elde 98 (which is the exact same missile as the air launched IRIS-T) gets easily flared and has basically no energy. Also yes, the r-73 is not massively overpowered but it is the only thrust vectoring IRCCM 50g missile in the game. So adding a better variant for everyone would be quite welcome. And decompression also exists so that aircraft with these munitions would be a much higher BR if you wanted to play lower tier with the typhoon for example.
it could, but we all know gaijin won’t drop 5th generations on minor updates like october and november, my guess is December of 2026, before that we’ll definitely see modern ARHs/EW/ECM
