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

Damn I was hoping that this might tell me what it was, cause it has half glass in the skin at least, has the sabr and has the pobit cockpit but that might be identical to the modernised CM f16’s.

like the only thing separating the POBIT and CM now is just the RWR and pisu rails since both either should have scorpion or the jhms 2.

they essentially have the option right now to just give it the 360 RWR and just call it the POBIT dont understand why not especially since SEAD hasn’t been fully introduced yet. they could just make a foldered copy or something most air players ima assume arnt using it just for cas and would like a half capable fighter over a 3rd toptier cas jet.

also for the love of god please just give the f15 the legion pod gaijin you essentially have the legion pod already in game

Not yet. Yesterdays update was at 14UTC, aka potentially in 3 hours ±

I believe that one might have Have Glass III coating.

Notice the 3rd F-16, F-16CM-50 91-0396 I believe, has Have Glass III whereas the rest have Have Glass V. HG V is usually a darker, metallic colour painted all over except for on the nose cone whereas HG III is a lighter, 3 tone paint scheme with a lighter section around the cockpit and a slightly darker nose cone.

As long as it gets HARM + ECM, 9X, GBU-53, and the rest of its missing ordnance at some point I’ll be happy. It would be a massive shame to have a Swamp Fox jet without the ability to do SEAD.

I like “dovserver”

Pretty sure our CM’s at least have the updated cockpit. I remember reading something about a new MFD. It’s a hard thing to fact check unfortunately.

@Smin1080p_WT Will the Mig29 (9-12) and (9-13) be foldered in the russian TT? I’d like to know it so I can start researching the mig29Smt if I need to.

CJ/CM F-16s were to first to be given Have Glass, since their job is to attack radar sites and other air-defences.

For what?
Some nations barelly have their helicopters represented in the game, would be nice to have more of them, including variants, as well as improvements of PVE mode, so you have a place to spade them.
New rank for helicopters is probably the last thing they need imo.

Or even some RP reductions for helis.

this is needed, 3 9.0 helis in a row, each 400k rp, with the exact same missiles is not fun

I hope for either an RP reduction and foldering or for them to allow researching helicopters with aircraft. They’ve already allowed them to be researched by tanks but seeing as how you can unlock helicopters by having rank 5 in aircraft it would make sense to also have that option.

i completely agree, but to research with aircraft they should rework the helicopter ranks, because researching a lynx that is still in service with 1960s tanks doesn’t make much sense

Here I am, the big complainer. I come to complain.

Only 5 days left until the 5th anniversary of the addition of the last pre-1946 Japanese Tech Tree aircraft. Exactly 1825 days ago (4 years, 11 months, and 27 days ago), the Mitsubishi A6M5 Hei was added. It was the last Japanese WW2 Tech Tree aircraft added to the game.

Could you please add a new Japanese aircraft to the Tech Tree from before 1946? For example, the long-awaited Kawasaki Ki-64 or Mitsubishi Ki-51?
