Next Major Update - "Eagle's Shadow" Rumour Roundup & Discussion (Part 2)

Only thing left to do is to either remove that sad ass otomatic or reduce its br . Its 2026 there are multiple large calibre autocannobs in game

would be nice for the ALARM on the tornado GR1 lol

ASRAAM’s motor burns for just over 3 seconds. If you think the motor is responsible for the heat then how is ASRAAM so much hotter than Meteor which has a motor that burns for well over a minute. It seems likely to me that the numbers being referred to are aerodynamic heating. Especially given the following slides are dedicated to ASRAAM’s and Meteor’s heat shields and how they responded to external heating (basically immersing the motors in a 900° flame and seeing how long they last - ASRAAM survived for around 1 minute in 900°C flames before the case started to weaken and the fuel ignited).

ASRAAM’s motor uses SSL laminate (strips of ultra high strength steel) for it’s structural strength. The inside is coated with a thin layer of rubber to protect the SSL from the burning fuel (which last 3 seconds). The SSL motor case is then protect on the outside by a dual layer cork and GRP heat shield to protect from aero heating. It seems they were more concerned with aero heating then the temperature of the internal fuel burning (consider that missiles like MICA do not have a dedicated external heat shield - just an internal lining)

Gaijin can add the Romanian Skyranger 35 after the otomatic

@Smin1080p_WT may I ask if a Flywheel Generator counts as APU?

Not really, MICAs have a very short range against maneuvering targets, and are extremely easy to accidentally dodge past like 30km.

They do. Renders of a vehicle isn’t enough lmao 🤷‍♀️

F15IA moment or something idk I’m just scrolling and skimming through all the comments lol

Same way the eurofighter aesas were added. What’s your point here.

same same but different

Not quite the same.

CAPTOR-E Mk0 (functionally identical to the Mk2 in game currently) has been in service with Kuwait and Qatar since 2021 ish and test aircraft for the Mk1 and Mk2 being around for a few years.

Same exact addition just a f15

Eurofighter with the Mk1 radar didn’t fly until months after. Mk2 won’t fly for another like 2 years

Sure… if Israelis weren’t in the habit of modifying literally almost every aircraft they get 🫠 We don’t even know the final config of the F-15IA, but we do know of the Eurofighters (aka literally just the radar)

Rumor has it that bvvd was spotted outside FSB headquarters
