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

Doesn’t make the 34 any less decent, just preference as to which goes in your lineup.

I still take SM2 and 34 because i like the fullback conceptually + the 3 ton UMPK is cool

Still very much pointless in air battles, There is genuinely 0 reason to use it

It’s a bomber?

You can choose to fight or bomb a base (or 3) with current weapons. IIRC you won’t be able to get 3 with Grom-1, might be wrong

Hi Smin, I tagged you in the EX discussion thread but not sure if you read pings outside of this thread at the moment.

F-15EX - Missing optional AN/AAQ-13 LANTIRN navigation pod // Gaijin.net // Issues

This report was denied for the incorrect reason - it should just be a visual change, the navigation pod is present on the F-15E & F-15EX no matter the targeting pod used as it keeps the center of mass in the center. Could we get it either reopened or (ideally) accepted please? There would be literally no function of it ingame as WT does not (and probably never will have) those mechanics, so the engine limitation issue does not hold true.

now all we need is MAW on F-15EX and its the best plane in the game (might already lowk be)

Sure, when it has it ☺️☺️

Hey. This pod isn’t planned for now. So its not a bug / suggestion to be accepted.

Given it’s just a visual change and is carried on all strike F-15s it feels different in my opinion (i.e it’s part of the targeting configuration), but fair enough.

Any chance of getting the CMs fixed before the major too? Only bothering you given it’s Thursday and it’d be nice to have it fixed before it’s too late 🙂

Never too late

Too late for the Gripen’s RWR it seems 😵‍💫

@Smin1080p_WT So what are the new requirements now for a NE premium over say a standard premium for RB ?

They’re all one jet. If it can carry anything warranting a BR bump (like ARH or even IIR missiles), BR gets bumped up. At least, this is my interpretation based on what’s known about the premium F/A-18D.

2 pods is peak

I might have underestimated the progress…

Drag entered the chat

It’s a requirement for chin targeting pod carriage :(

20 bombs should give it more drag than a extra pod (in this photos case those 2 fuel tanks are worse for drag)


also what’s that thing in the middle

Somehow I don’t think the insanely powerful engines really care that much about the tiny bit of drag caused by a sensor pod

You say that now because pylon drag isnt modelled lol

At that point engine power isnt the limiting factor, the airframe is

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping but I haven’t gotten an answer from you or Stona on if the change log Pansarbil is supposed to be the Danish model or Swedish could you tell me what nation it’s supposed to be from?
