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

And they said Monday today, but maybe if they’re gracious enough they’ll open it earlier today.

So like…

All ESA radars nerfed by 4 times (they were actually functional and bearable unlike mscan and we can’t have working radars in this game)

WS-10B worse than AL-31at every speed except 0 kmh

AIM-120D and PL-12A are copy pastes with no iog drift, these missiles change nothing

Without a doubt, the Su-57 will be the strongest next-generation fighter in this game lol

BUT au F-18F should be
13,387 kg basic weight
29,900 kg maximum take-off weight
F/A-18F Super Hornet | Air Force

How what happened

When was the server suposed to launch

They never gave us a time, but usually it opens in 4.5 hours from now.

dev server in 20 minutes (no im just coping)

they butchered radar updates, it’s 4x slower now for ESAs

Yeah but it’s just that from experience that speed is next to unachievable for J-10. There is a point when WS-10B pulls away, and that point is hard to get to on most maps. I am still running through a list of alts, but most alts it’s either worse or literally the same.

The curve is what I’m talking about. They copied it and just chucked 1.8t more thrust on every part which is not how it works. I’m looking into what evidence we can get.

How to solve balancing problem between mech-scan vs ESA:
Add more AESA-equipped fighters for nations that lack them (no)
BR decompression (no)
Nerf all AESA radars (yes)

The Gaijin way.

Refresh rate on fastTWS nerfed by 4 times afaik, some people say it’s because of a report nerfing the refresh rate on the bars that got applied globally but I have no idea how true that is so I’ll assume that’s not the case

Irbis DL targets also halved, among other things

Good luck on sources, Allen.

@IsurusOxyrinchus
WS-10B is better than AL-31AT at all speeds below 1270kph near sea level.*
Unless you’re claiming Statshark’s wrong.

We don’t know the tangible differences in ESA scan changes, we just see numbers; and we don’t even know if they’re intended until comment from devs.

I’m going to wait for videos, personally.

how is PL-12A looking like compared to PL-12?

Please noooo

Possibly will be the same only diff is the better seeker

I’m still building my new pc so I don’t think I’ll be able to get on dev today… I wonder if I could make bug reports on my phone

So PL-12A is copy paste of PL-12 effectively…

Looking at gszabi datamine and running code through text compare:

-longer guidance time 80 → 120s
-360 launch capability
-reworked guidance table, but what that actually means I have no idea

you will get two premiums in the tree, neither unique. One SQDN vehicle, not unique. Oh and two SPAAs that are not unique, wanted or needed in the tree
