True but there is potential for more if we are talking only on top tier additions then, i think Gripen E is still fair game as they can just copy and paste it and then when the Thai version is finally in service if there is anything different (which i doubt there will be) they can just remodel it. Thai F-16MLU, and if the Indonesia MI-35P is any indication then that opens the doors for even more such as Indonesian Rafale F.4, KF-21, SU-30/27, more F-16s and eventually Turkish KAAN fighter.

Tho even Japan itself still has the F-2 ADTW (F-X radar) upgrade, F-15J IRST and more new missiles and missile buffs and eventually F-15JSI and of course F-35A/B.

Have some mercy for my keyboard

Too much keybinds already X)

Just expose yourself to radiation and grow some extra arms. :P

Tusk Force will probably be next week, as others have said, Tuesday and Wednesday are likely (but not guaranteed of course).

As for the next update after that (2.51), probably late November

Probably not late november, last year was because it was heavily delayed. But its usually end of October (at least it was in 2022 and 2023)

Visited some civilian nuclear facility a few years back, but they used boring stuff such a radiation shields and contained primary circuits, so no extra arms for me :(

Spoiler

Can confirm enriched Uranium is dense as f*** though, 1 candy sized pellet still has some weight to it

Getting back on topic, i think some CTAI 40 gun was spotted in the files almost a year ago and i’m hoping we get some news regarding that interesting weapon

You’ve got a good point, whatever they’re adding probably isn’t as problematic as DX12 and raytracing

Yep, Only thing they could add that would probably end up causing major delays is either ARMs, CBUs or Subs

… well those are pretty likely headline additions for the next update:

Gszabi’s leaks say ARMs would come after everybody got new SAMs (we’re getting that in Tusk Force)

BVVD says there will be news about subs before the next major update

I agree, they are big-ticket items that will be more complex to implement. But at least with subs, Gaijin has been laying the groundwork for a long time… we’ll see before too long.

Still would be willing to bet we’ll get issues like Subs get stuck underground or something

Wonder how this is going to resolve, considering the recent declaration.

No planned F-4D, “Late” F-4E or F-4G makes this pretty difficult to resolve.

Its also interesting given that is exactly what the Italian Tornado IDSs are.

A generic one and then a late version from a specific date. So clearly they can and will do it

notching the irbis e for example you would have to be within 5m/s or ±1.25 degrees… for context radars in game to be in the notch you would have to be within 20m/s or around ±4 degrees…
so it would be around 4x harder or 200% lmao

Rly?

Updates are typically Tuesday or Thursday, and the last devblog stated the update was soon[1], knowing my luck it’ll be Thursday though.

Still enough time to slip in an FV101 wink wink nudge nudge

I think I’ve seen people say the Australian AIM should have KEWA1, but I have no idea if that is correct. Either way, ammo is a balancing factor, Gaijin will give the M1A2T what ever they want to make it fit at what ever BR they want it at.
