yep better off flying the 13.7 one, at least you wont have to face planes that are astronomically better than you as often

223

It’s only so long that you can upgrade a platform that isn’t suited for the current rules of engagement.

224

I don’t know why you were even expecting ARMs and MMW stuff

You really have a lot of optimism left for this game lol

225

i think the d is probably gonna be a very minor upgrade but itll bring the f18e and f15ge up to 14.7, then theyll get stomped even more. the ex is all that i can see being a strong option for the us tree, until 5th gens tbh

226

Are ARMs even a consideration, didn’t they literally made an entire blogpost yapping about how bad ARMs would be if they were added to the game some time ago?

227

My only hope for it is for Have Glass to be modelled but I doubt they will bother with it.

I was genuinely excited for the PoBIT even though it would be mid at best because I love F-16’s but it’s just looking awful right now.

i remember them saying they would be added in the first half of the year, was hoping that would be this update, along s300s and patriots, but ig not

229

I don’t remember them ever talking about ARMs after the CM post that mentioned better SAMs to be in the works

And in that CM post they did say that ARMs were no a priority and that they would work on ESM (Electronical support measures, related to ECM) instead

230

would be cool but even with lower rcs im afraid that thing is still beyond doa, having 6 missiles at anything above 14.0 will absolutely kill the thing

231

ARM they literally said was coming first half of this year, with June update probably going to be something bigger, ARM would be a sensible thing this major update.

MMW is needed ASAP, quantity isnt even an issue anymore with 16x FNF present on aircraft

232

Yes they talked that in the first half of 2026 we will get them I think it was in the Q&A

233

Knowing the current state of laziness it will probably be missing the correct HMD. (It should have a HMD similar or better to the A10C, with ground and air “visual IFF” and other cool options).

Ah, if it was in the Q&A I’m not surprised that I don’t remember it lol

Could “Ninth Wave” name mean something special for navy (frigats spawn o_O?) or it’s just about rank IX for planes?

237

I didn’t need a link to the vid to believe you guys, but thanks anyways
