Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

An F-18 of some description is my theory for Sep/Oct. Would fit the timeline for Typhoon in December

The difference between the AGM-122 and other HARM missiles is that the AGM-122 was specifically designed to deal with short range mobile SSPAs iirc meaning it might be the only one (initially) that they allow to blast Pantsir S1 with lol

True. Though Id hope all nations get an equal HARM capability. Need to sling those 9x ALARM from the Tornado Gr1

Exactly, add a non-AMRAAM hornet September/October then an AMRAAM capable hornet with stuff like the Eurofighter and possibly the Rafale

Typhoon + Rafale is almost certain for the same update. We may even see the Gripen E in the same update.

Doubt the gripen E, will be added, gaijin will milk the C for as long as possible.

I don’t think there are any differences between Italian AV-8B+ and USMC AV-8B+, apart from the skin

Probably. But there is hope at least. A proper Euro-Delta update would be cool. Even if it was the Gripen NG (I know its basically the same as the Gripen E) with some minor nerfs/tweaks to split the gap between the C and E

Exactly which makes it so stupid that they weren’t added together and why it seems really likely that with the skin now in the game files that we could see it this update

It’s the repeat of the F-5 addition
It was added to china tech tree first, then two updates later it was added to US tree

Bare in mind, Italy has had very few addiitons (outside the full Hungarian line) in the past year. US has had loads.

To all the Chinese players, Gaijin made the J-11A now one of the worst BVR platforms. The radar of the J-11A will only be able to guide 1 missile at a time.

If AV-8B+ is indeed added, that will quite likely be the first thing I will be researching in next major update

Again doubt. Itll be another 3 or more updates with nothing, maybe another gripen C with some minor changes with no flight performance or armament difference.

That being said. Finnish F-18 is quite likely. If they come

Oh yeah

That depends on if gaijin adds the MLU 2 or the A model without CAS functionality or if itll be a hybrid of the MLU for the CAS side.

Maybe Sweden will get the F-18C and the US only the F-18A :D

Maybe an update or more after everyone else as it depends on what gaijin wants to add. The only way i see the nordic tree getting more stuff is if they add Norway and Denmark as the 5th air line. Even then its not much but f16’s.

Not likely, finlands f18’s arent C’s
