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

and thats the thing, the buk isnt weak. just not overpowered like the rest of the russian vehicles
but thats not enough for them

@Smin1080p_WT

Is there any word on a South African MB-326K for the British tech tree?

It has been included in the Italian Tech tree, and I am wondering when we would get the normal treatment that was stated by BVVD

If Tornado F.3 moved to rank VII, will it lose the stock missile?

SAAF planes for Britain?
In this game?

Are you crazy?

Holding back the F-15EX to release with the Su-35S when the Su-30SM2 is basically a Su-35 right now is diabolical.

they’ll probably save both so that Su-35 gets R-37M and/or R-77M and F-15EX gets AIM-120D-3

AFAIK Su-30SM2 doesn’t have R-77M or R-37M capability

will probably add meteors on Rafale C F4 with meteor at the same time, and Meteor coming to Aesaphoons at the same time, probably J-16 with PL-15 at the same time too

that’s what i’m thinking atleast (modern IRs at the same time too please gaijin?, I want my ASRAAMS)

Update is looking great, with Shhh…(W)hite rock fortress back on constant rotation for top tier.
Pantsir upgrade that can carry more missiles than aircraft have ordinance and the fastest missile in game with no counter. BUK is so bad to hear BVVD it will be 11.7 in no time
Aim120D - Another toilet missile, has some kind of fancy guidance system to maintain energy, well with all due respect Gaijin your coders cannot replicate a correct top attack down missile, or a realistic lofting profile, literally no one has faith this missile will be good…Can we all just have an R-77-1 and pretend it’s an Aim120D?

AS-90 is nice as is the Centaro 2

Forsee no meaningful fixes (UV tint for Typhoon, stretched HUD) and look forward to the Stormer being completely broken after the update for a few weeks.

Can take a nice long break from this

Good, screw CAS

Is there a time frame for when the announcement is? Like around 11 UTC or so?

Yeah, the time frame is Monday lol

Just do not see a world where Gaijin adds Meteor, I don’t see how they will model a variable thrust motor. It will be terrible at close range and average at long ranges. I see how Gaijin has made the IRIS-T painfully average.

R-37M will also be Godly despite it only being useful against jets with an RWR from the 80s.
MICA EM range buff seems plausible and that will be on the cards.
Aim 120D3 and Meteor range is a little below what the others can offer. You want a missile that can compete in range with a PL-15 and R-37M we are in the 174B category.

nothing specific, and tbh, dev server opening time has never been specific, its usually been 1-4 hours after dev stream ends, but there is no dev stream to base on tomorrow

my guess is probably at noon GMT considering they have planned this properly (hopefully)

Screw all CAS but Russian, that Pantsir wont save you from Mi-28 LMURS or Kh-38s :(

It does have r37m

Just not r77m.

Yeah no bud 174 have max mach4 speed.

Others are at 5 or 6

Plus f18 airframe. Yeah good luck lmao

I can see AIM-120D being changed into D-3 this dev

No, screw ALL CAS, it’s not up to me to decide who gets better anti air, but every anti air that is a proper threat to CAS is a step in the right direction

Did we already forget that Japan also has Kh-38s now?

Watch all nations get atleast 3%more win rate because of the new pantsir against dircm heli
