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

it would at least be something unique and domestic and not fully paper as well major components were built unlike F-15IA which doesn’t exist lol

Completely different airframe though, at least F-15I and IA are related

as a big 103c fan, i’d love to see the strv 2k, it’s definitely the most unique mbt mockup I’m aware of besides the really fringe soviet stuff

How good would it be in terms of engine thrust, weight, sensors, and armament.

Also it probably won’t be added since Japan would already have a 5th gen

Agreed.

I’d rather take sensors from the aircraft that already have ELISRA produced defensive suites than assume the Israelis would leave it with an ancient RWR instead

100%. 0 chance it comes without something drastic but damn if it isn’t a funny concept

watch the 40mm coax keep the silly 24 round ammo rack

Russia tho doesn’t have modern prototypes, the Armata is a 15 years old, the Object 195 is from the 90s except if i am missing something

I gotta say owning and having played the Moderna, it would be incredibly potent at close range lmao

when most people think of next gen MBT prototypes, the conversation typically includes the Obj 195, Obj 640, T-14 and now these newer european things, and the abrams x

Uhh btw EX will get 16 missiles not 16 arh tho

So 4x ir and 12x arh

Personally I think if we take a grain of salt in terms of feasibility Black Eagle is an instant yes

they are 30 years old tho, you cant compare a KF-51 with a 90s tank

I’d be curious to see how the ERA compares to Relikt as we see it in game, but it’s basically a BVM with it’s major issues fixed besides gun depression, would be very cool to see amongst the first 13.7 MBTs

idk, the 152mm first cropped up in the 90s and it’s the best dart in game rn, all the components for a good mbt by wt standards exists in these 90s protos so don’t underestimate them

the Black Eagle isnt worth 13.7

While yes, that is true…tanks don’t typically have tangible advancements that are nearly as drastic as aircraft when achieved in a similar timeframe, minus things like FCS and Thermals and to a degree the level of protection, they’re pretty similar and could co-exist

Hm, that makes it officially the jet with most overall missiles.

why does gaijin hate the US and IL
