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

Afaik it is to be seen but I’d say that it is unreasonable to say that a nation will be left out this patch.

Me personally, I am more looking forward to the CBU-97 even if it won't be available in GRB ;)

would be cool if they actually make the JP223 and MW-1 good at killing bases since ya know it was the point of them or well airfields

I feel like most planes that can carry dumb bombs past 8.0 could probably carry some form of cluster bombs


Am i doing something wrong and the chute doesn’t work?

@Smin1080p_WT Hi may i ask, sweden planned to receive cluster munition?

If it seems that the dev servers won’t be adding the Su‑35S, then it looks like we shouldn’t expect a 5th‑generation aircraft in the winter update? Or maybe they’ll just skip the Su‑35S because it won’t be that different compared to the Su‑30SM2 in full configuration? Or maybe they’ll add both the Su‑35S and the Su‑57 (but that would be strange)?

Well, I’m really curious now about what will happen in the winter, but I still think we’ll get the 5th generation at the beginning of 2027.

This bug has been present since forever

if you equip the ECLAIR mod (MAW) it’ll delete the drag chute where it sits, you need to untick it at the cost of lower CM count

this is the case on both C-S5 and 5F

also removes the carrier/STOL hook lol

Not a chance, it is the most iconic jet of the modern RUaf so I don’t see a reality where they skip it, it’s likely being delayed to december to be the poster child for next gen IR missile (R-74M) and improved EW technology

It get’s 4 Otomatics as it’s AA, plus A missile launcher, for anti-air. Running that, along with the two main guns. Not even the Bravy Lutjens. or Adamas, have that well of anti-air defense.

That’s 4 out of 8 nations to have Bluewater Missile ships, but 3 out of 8 for costal. We are slowly getting there, just Italy, has the true anti-missile ship, with the one in Costal

Between the bombs that are in the dev server files: CBU-87, CBU-57, RBK-500, BL-755, and BLG-66 I think every nation has planes that historically used at least one of those bombs.

The only one I’m not 100% sure about is Sweden/Finland/Norway.
But I’m not really familiar with Swedish cluster munitions other than the BK90 stand-off dispenser.
Finland has never used, manufactured or exported cluster munitions.
I know Norway used CBU-100/Mk.20 Rockeye on their CF-104s but neither the bomb nor the plane are in game at the moment. RNoAF F-16As are technically compatible with BL-755 (used on F-16A in Belgium and the Netherlands) and CBU-87.

A december update with only 1 flagship new top tier jet? small chance lol.

I wouldn’t be suprised if we see F-35 for a bunch of nations in december and next gen ARH missiles for a bunch of 4.5th gen (including the Su-35) for them to keep up.

They can even start with the F-35B or C given how those are the more limited ones.

Pretty certain it’s not unique to Su-35 , we just haven’t seen it mounted on 30SM2 ( yet ) but that means peanuts considering 30SM2 and 35 share the same radar and avionics .

By the way has there been a definitive answer from Gaijin in regards to the Su-35S for this update ?

BVVD silence in the Russian dev-stream was suspicious considering the massive wave of questions in regards to Su-35 …

while I agree on that both japan and the uk lack any missile ships, with both having pretty easy additions that could fill those gaps

with how IRCM IR missiles were added, and with how ARH missiles were added that wont happen lmao, next gen missiles will come on the brand new jets and the old ones might be lucky to get them but more then likely anything that isnt at the very top will be left with the same loadouts they have now

@Smin1080p_WT Hey, what is up with thrust depended on altitude and lift coefficient depended on mach number? Will there be other missiles that will get those? And is new R-98MR/MT modeled in accordance with those features?
