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

Thanks, I’m just asking because the A184 and A244 are guided—I just wanted to know if that was currently planned or not. Thanks you for the answer.

Who cares. We already have stuff like the PARS and the typhoon radar dillema.
It’s not like we are getting something like the TA-183 which will never exist.

whats the issue with them? atleast they actually exist and have proof to them the IA has paper, thats it

Yeah and november updates are known to be generally smaller updates in terms of vehicle additions.

December is the big one every year except once.

Well, the PARS is more in the ballpark with the M247, where they exist, but didn’t actually work.

Regarding the typhoon, as far as I remember only the brits did some tests with the CAPTOR-E. But that’s about it.

Challenger 3 is coming trust

PARS was mass produced, ECRS has been flying on testbed EF´s for around a decade and the german ECRS MK1 did its PFAT recently bruh

Well then, major air update for both China and Russia.
Problem solved.

I just dont see them adding the F-35’s without the J-20 and Su-57

were probably not getting 5TH gens this year and neither china or russia need any new top tier jets atm

I would love to see that thing in game.

However with the last couple of years, having only 1 new flagship plane in december isn’t going to go down great, no matter what ground and naval additions they are adding.

Like I said, recipe for dissapointment for Gaijin.

J-35?

F-35 and J-35 are more advanced than their larger counterparts, i don’t see the point of adding them first

Well yeah. though the mk1 and mk2 still aren’t on actual production line jets. Kinda like the sm2 situation where test runs with the irbis and al-41 are being conducted, but it’s not yet on production variants.

Yeah, mass-produced. And then tests in the US showed that’s it’s seeker is prone to failure. After which the PARS went into long-storage and the germans just bought spikes

More advanced sure, but also less capable in flight performance, missile loads and radar when it comes to the different big 5th gens.

You conveniently missed the most important part of the argument :

Anyways …

Please at least educate yourself on the matter before expressing opinions :

well, the F-35 will come anyway, otherwise only 3 nations will have 5th gen

AL-41s confirmed delivered now, Irbis is still uncertain

leakers seem to think this will happen, only big 3 are proposed to get their stealth

so would i and my cope isnt completely unrealistic just hear me out

Heavy Cavalry - brought the americans next generation of domestic MBT (SEP-V3) and Russias next generation of domestic MBT (T90M ARENA)

Sky Odyssey - brought Germany and France next generation domestic-ish MBT (EMBT even though they kinda suck)

Eagles Shadow - brings in the Leopard 2A8 being germany main next generation Domestic MBT and the 2A8NO for sweden

(December update name) - brings the next gen MBT for Britain and maybe italy or something?

reasoning for this is order of the tech trees ingame its goes America then Germany then Russia then britain and america germany and russia have all recieved there domestic MBT’s and the Challenger 3 EPSOM was passed to the devs earlier this year (along with the SEPV3 which has now been added)

Spoiler

I suppose the J-35 and F-35C will have their own update together as navalised variants
J-35A will come whenever the F-35A does, as their role and categorisation are identical

The flight performance of the F-35 is arguably not that great. The stealth of the Aircraft is also reportedly worse than the F-22. I could see them adding it first. I am just not sure how they would handle China. The J-35 reportedly outperforms the F-35 and J-20 in Stealth amongst other things. However the even the base J-20 could be a little too good against the F-35 unless they give it the Russian engines I guess. WOuld be nice to hear from @Smin1080p_WT if we should expect any non us 5th gens this year.
