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

So clusters are coming, does anyone think maybe the BK90 / DWS -24 is going to come too?

Fairly certain that is an OOOOOOOLD school burke

Edit, I was wrong.

That isn’t the EX

its not a EX but the F-15 platform can all share it, the only thing that would be unique to the EX that can’t go on the C or E is its conformal fuel tanks, as those have been made special to the EX but outside of that, anything that can fit on a C or E would fit on the EX, as all the rail and rail systems are the same

Hey, I have a question about the new dynamic BR mechanic. It’s definitely good for outdated airframes that carry modern missiles, but how do we deal with better aircraft deliberately weakening their loadouts to fight at a lower BR?
For example, if the MiG-23ML doesn’t bring R-24s, would its BR drop all the way to 11.0? Then it just carries two napalm bombs and rushes bases, and other planes can barely catch it.
Or take the F-4E — if it skips the AIM-7E-2 and only carries AIM-7Es, would it drop to 11.0 and push the F-4EJ out of its niche, forcing the F-4EJ to also strip its loadout and downtier to squeeze the F-4C out of its space?

i think youre worrying about it too much, if a mig23ml is too strong at 11.0 without r24s then it would go up in BR same way the game has always worked

plus its not a feature coming to everything yet

If big content american aircraft coming to this major update

I hope winter update (mid december) 2026 american aircraft from mid 1940’s (post WW2) or mid 50’s or early 70’s return

I hope they can at least carry 1 missile on each, that way you can carry aim9M’s without losing overall missile count.

For those who don’t know currently you can’t carry aim9M on the doble stack pylon without losing 2 missiles since the fins collide.

Yeah no, that’s still a California, otherwise some form of AN/SPY-1 would be visible at least not to mention the Burke has never had a bridge that short and if it were a Block 1 it would have a very visible Phalanx in front of that bridge. I think the new ai ships are mainly so China’s J-15 actually can be used on a Chinese carrier plus some appropriate escort for it and the Gerald R Ford was added since Forestal is an older super carrier, though that’s just my guess.

you should be, as technically speaking the outer pylons have been there since the A/B but caused too much flutter during testing to keep so the wiring was ripped out but the mounting points stayed, so its one of those things of, it should as it was originally meant to, but upon the look for any testing images for it i found this image of the testing squadron

equip only the aim4s and play an f15 at 11.0 with the new changes lol

well you could only equip AIM-9Ls and enjoy that as what’s soon to come

nah with only aim9L itd still be like 12.3 with the f16a blk10

i think it would end up at 12.0 due to only having 4 and being slightly less maneuverable (still can turn on a dime if you know how to use it)

kurnass 2000 is 12.3

with python 4s, which although shorter range, is pretty much better than the 9L, and 6 of each

I wish you could saw my and my friends reaction lol
I was in a game of Deadlock still waiting for the trailer at almost 2am and when my friend came to VC and said “trailer is out” i rushed to watch it in every possible time window what the game gives me, when i saw the EX and especially after a phrase “i like to dominate” i forget how to play a game xD

python 3 not 4, also its quite definitively a sidegrade, the netz is the same BR as the f16a blk10

around what times in GMT does the Dev Stream go live??? If anyone knows off the top?

around 1-2pm gmt i think
