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

it will be nerfed dont worry every time a biritsh tank has had a good breach its nerfed before live

Not sure if you replied to the right post, but the F-22’s IRST is in actual testing and not just render. Saabs dual meteor racks would need to be tested first.

I didn’t lmao sorry about that

For our Suggestion requirements (again we operate separately to the Developers), unless a significant unique part is built, then the F5 is essentially a no. I don’t believe our (Suggestion Team) rules would even allow a F-15IA suggestion considering one hasn’t been built and all of its components offered or planned are (as far as I’m aware) not unique. So that comparison doesn’t make sense. Again, we operate separately to the developers.

I guess Gripen Maritime is technically feasible as it’s just the Gripen E with a Arrestor hook on the back

I think they will still be able to be defeated seeker-wise, and we should have other forms of CMs added into the game like spectral flares which a lot of NATO aircraft have. But the question should be if you can detect the launches to defeat it, not necessarily whether it can be defeated.

Yeah. Which honestly probably isnt going to have a super big impact in the long run, if anything it will just be one of those annoying things you learn to work around.

We know the chances of getting any sort of pylon based sensors at the moment though 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Real, I do hope they give them the LWS for the time as just a patch work fix until the German models irl get their domestic LWS

next gen IR is cooked… especially jets like f15EX and f18E with 12 aim9X

I mean not just the super hornets but the F/A-18C and the HUGs 2 iirc

F-15EX with 4 AIM-9X + 12 120D is the real monster, since you are forced to carry IR on the outer pylons it means you don’t have to give up your long range missiles

No NG IR AAMs until we have DEWs in WT to zap them out the sky. Easy

F-15EX being a strike aircraft and perhaps better than f15GE is just peak

60G missiles from 30km at 12.0 lol

technically it would be 16 Meteors as they should be mountable on the same rails as AMRAAMs meaning we can also have the out duel pylon so 16 Meteors and 2 IRIST

Mirage 2000 MAW should be pylon specific for example (even if it’s still active in game if you don’t carry the pylons, but who actually flies without them)

F-16 has the pylon based MAW, so it’s possible for that at least. Assuming it’s because it’s a newer addition and someone had the foresight for that? 🤷

I also think a report was made before the f16 and was rejected for some reason, don’t quote me on that tho. Since then no one has actually reported it

this reminds me of how the US actually wanted the UK to buy into the F-117 programme even offering a domestic version called the F-117C but thatcher didnt want to buy into a black book project encase of it getting out to the public if i remember right
