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

I was lucky i grinded france and germany a couple months befor the su302 or f15c ge cause if I will still stuck only there I would have had an aneurysm like the US isnt mistreated in the slightest but goddamn are the devs really lost when it comes to desired additions, like they were 90% of the way there this update if we ggot the pobit lol.

This squadron in South Carolina is the only squadron that operates the Block 52CM in the entire Airforce in the SEAD role.

I don’t think so. It should be fine once all the missing bits like PIDS (with missiles and in general), extra mavericks, etc are implemented properly. The eventual HARM and ECM integration will also help with this. Right now it’s a matter of what the devs decide to give it off the bat not necessarily what it’s capable of as an aircraft itself.

I suggest we get it changed before they ignore it and screw up the name given the numerous examples that if you don’t get it changed early on it will never be changed.

You have a procrastinators view of this and this thinking will lead to it being borked

back in the day having only the usa or russia was fine and you’d be set for every update, now the usa is looking like a minor nation with how horrible the recent additions have been

my legitimate question is more why this and not the damn pobit lets use the upgrade to test things instead of just the upgrade like why??? how many times are they gonna force me to grind 400k rp

the worst part is I cant even be fully mad cause were not abandoned like israel air, we get constant air vehicles they just add the worst options. its like how bad and barely working internet is more painful than simply no wifi

dev server “delayed”?

Mid update* somehow gets even more mid.

*from what we’ve seen so far

If its a picture of the compartment showing the ammo then yes, I don’t see why not.

Usa top tier air fell off after f15e

Because this fulfills a different role that the POBIT cannot which is SEAD/DEAD. This is not meant to be a POBIT replacement but a step in that direction. Once it is given HARM and ECM it should be more worth the grind. Until then it is only as good as it can be with what the devs have given/are willing to give it.

The F-16CJ/CM from the 157th FS, 179th FS, 480th FS, and the 3 squadrons at Shaw AFB (55th FS, 77th FS, and the 79th FS) are the only squadrons that operated the 16 in the SEAD role. With only a few others doing SEAD in the F-35.

The 13th FS in Japan has retired their CJ/CM’s and have transitioned to the F-35

Out of these the 157th FS (default skin in game) is the only operator of the Block 52 and their main mission is SEAD.

probably come together with the EX

if it was any other nation than israel id care, but i couldnt care less about israel if im being honest lol. at least theyve got a better f15e than we do

man that was a good month before the eft and rafale

tbh theyll probably add it this update and leave us with the new f16

Last time the US ate real good at top tier, it’s been a slow fall downhill ever since.

sadly no ammo mounted on it yet, but it was confirmed during the presentation to be an ammo compartment

we had a good run w the 15e for a month, they do NOT like us having fun

But at which tech tree?

Yeah I was really expecting the ex this time man

Maybe summer with su35s + f15ex + j11bg/16
