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

Im not really sure what the question is here. There is already a superior version of the Q-5A and D in game with the Q-5L.

Im again unsure what a prototype has to do with this. Premiums dont have to be prototypes, many of them are not. A prototype Q-5 would be closer to the Q-5 early and not at the range the Q-5D is being added to fill a gap for in the premium roster of vehicle choices.

The “marketing department” has nothing to do with the section of premium vehicles like the Q-5D or vehicles in general. They market the game. Again, im unsure of the relevance to the question here

Gaijin themselves have said it!

That post still says R-27.

R-27er buff is crazy

It’s available for all advanced eagle versions but it’s up to Gaijin whether to give it to the IA.

a rework doesnt necessarily have to be a buff

Probably not coming to the IA as a way to appease the america mains, similarly to how mavericks were excluded from the I even after better engines got added to the E

they removed the MAW tho, IRST for MAW is a good trade

And where are the PL-5s for the Q-5L? The missing feature has been accepted 3 years ago…

Not really. It’s kinda overdue tbh
The rework anyway

Balance

That is assuming the F-15IA is getting said IRST.

and the iris-t gets left out

What balance? the A-5C has them and now with the dynamic BRs you can implement missing features.

IMO should’ve kept/added it on both

F-15EX based on QA, it has MAW, but the actual system itself taken out but as I understand it could always be put back.

TLDR technical compatibility for both to get MAW via F-15QA being identical to both based on in game configurations*

Israeli F-15IA being a bit iffy considering it’s a F-15EX copy based on a render, but still

Looks like a primarily air to air IR missile (exceptions being the R-2xR missiles, based on the tweet) rework, but maybe it includes it as well (you know, because next gen/new missiles might be introduced next update)

Let’s use the planes of the same country alongside the tanks of the same country in arcade-style tank battles. It should not be used with vehicles from different countries. For example; Italian tanks and Italian aircraft. And in order to use them; let’s acquire those aircraft…

Will it be fully released before January 2027?

Not appeasement, no evidence for Tiger Eyes on IA afaik
Picture of EX with Tiger Eyes here

Of course, because december 31st is in fact the end of this year.

Why is Gaijin releasing the Q-5D with a loadout that ONLY encourages base bombing? We already have the A-5C which is a good multirole aircraft (although egregiously overtiered…)

All the Q-5D is going to do, is create more competition for bases. The A-5C already fills any role the Q-5D would have.

Greed has once again sacrificed match integrity.
