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

aim424 was also excluded from this poll why?

We’ve only known about its existence for like a month

I have seen a leak list that presents vehicles such as F-15E AESA, Su-37, Su-15, Tornado ECR etc, could anyone verify have they seen similar contents an its credibility?

I could have added that too, just to show the absurdity of people thinking the AIM-424, AIM-174B and AIM-260 would all come at the same time since they’re all part of the same “next gen” radar missiles according to some people.

Yeah 0_0 that thing is going to be a DEMON 😈 😳

No

same amount of info we have on pl17 soooo they are just metal 20 foot sticks for us both of them but I think aim424 is more compact its in a f35 weapons bay

Quite a few vehicles are younger than war thunder, take out the obvious ones such as pantsir SMSV or booker, there are still plenty like M1A2T, eitan, etc

Looking at the datamines, PL15 doesn’t really look promising compared to even PL12A.

Cause it aint correct or finished

Likely undertuned, I don’t see it lasting like that and also coming with other missiles of next-generation if the guess list is true about next-generation AAMs.

I would hope so, but people say that a lot only for said thing to release exactly how it is currently.

So I’ll trust it when I see gaijin make the changes.

Does PL-15 have duel pulse??? If so it definitely will be better then the 12A

Sure

It does but itll prolly have a slightly worse motor then pl-12A

I just meant that it is “just an improved R-77” in pretty much name only. It is more comparable to something like the AIM-120D vs AIM-260. A nearly completely new missile made to fit in the same or similar footprint, optimized for longer ranges and able to fit inside internal weapons bays.

No?

Dual pulse trades higher average speed for high impact speeds via the second burn. Pl-15 by all metrics should be comparable motor wise atleast to the PL-12A.

Aerodynamically the PL-15 should be better then the PL-12A yeah but you cant compare either it or the R77M to the base R77 or R27

Wait, the French are complaining about Swiss tanks in Germany that most of them are German, I’m sorry but this proves that gaijin shouldn’t be listening to them especially when the hypocrisy got a sub of their own that already has German tanks in their tree.

so It should just behave as a pl12A with a moter than kicks in for 1 second giving it a bit more range that sounds boring tbh…
