Eh
I could see it being TT, with the reshuffle and all that
Wheeled vehicle enjoyer are eating well with this update. Dragoon, BTR-3, Boxer, Eitan and Centauro II.
I’m lowkey excited for a bunch of these, hell maybe even for all of them.

Also something that is interesting is that the J-15T does not have the PL-12 as a modification or anything of that sort. It seems like there are provisions for future PL-10 and PL-15 modifications in the modification tree with gaps left for them in Rank II and IV respectively.
So not sure if anyone has gone over what BVVD said about the 120D…but just watching some youtube videos it sounds like his explanation of the 120D will be more accurate at long range. Sounds like it may even have less G pull then the C5 in the initial flight phase to conserve energy for long distance.
😑 Dev on monday is a kick in the pants

what about GBU-53/B StormBreaker for USA?

I believe the current AIM-120D stats are identical to the stats from the previous dev server. So I can tell you what’s different if it doesn’t change;
Battery life: 120 → 150 seconds
INS drift: 2 → 0 (GNSS/GPS)
Maximum launch angle: 55 → 180 degrees
Reworked guidance/PID at high altitudes (Think 10k meters), identical at lower altitudes

Gaijin making the same mistake that they made with the 120C-5 again with the 120D would be hilarious.
“Surely if we make the 120D even worse up close to be slightly better at range a second time it will work. Trust me bro it can’t possibly fail again.”

The Centauro II being a 5 second wheelie boy with DM53 will be nice.

If you’d like to take a look at the AIM-120D from the last dev server for yourself:
Probably going to be very powerful.
Is it just me or does the WM-21 Sólyom in-game look more like the WM-16B Budapest II?
This is the WM-16B Budapest II irl:
And this is the WM-21 Sólyom irl:
Do we think this is a mistake?

Nope here one without the “stuka” coverings

Who’s gonna get AIM-120D except new F-16 and F/A-18?

It’s identical at close range, but honestly the margins at long range are yet again 2-4% at most. It’s just “more efficient” PID at extremely high altitudes and a longer battery life. It’s identical to the AIM-120C5 in 99.9% of situations.
The AIM-120A is superior, and the F-16C PoBIT doesn’t even get it as a modification.

Oh, so maybe it’s an earlier variant?
If so, I think a later variant with the wheel covers would be more recognisable and easier to distinguish from the WM-16.
I belieave so
Those are, if we are to believe BVVD, the placeholder stats
considering the devlog states the only difference is gnss the seeker is likely to be the only difference between the 2 missiles

I looked into it a bit more:
-From the lack of wheel coverings it looks like an early variant
-From the WM K-14B engine and the 380 top speed it’s a late variant
-The camo is late variant
-The bomb load is the smaller 120 kg load of the early variant (rather than the ~300 kg load of the late variant)
So it seems to be a mismatch?
