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

Just postpone this, not like MITL is gonna change anything, but actually properly make it, because its such a terrible way to go about it.

Make it a equippable modification like here for BR reasons (which i personally disagree as mostly useless)

and just not give you the optic for this

TLDR;

  • Helis got separate mod for their MITL-capable weapons (you will have 1 that has it and the other doesn’t)
  • F-111, F-14, Tornado, Su-24 - ???, probably X-ray-related
  • Eurofighter Typhoon (all), Rafale (all) - fixed wingspan length
  • J-16 - new MLWS sound
  • Su-24M - same as above
  • JAS39E - PAWS2 warning sound updated
  • Slight change to flares (looks like visuals only)

Aaaand the rest is pretty much boring bits

Boring bits
  • HMS Duke of York - flooding and damage-model adjustments; increased maximum heel angle.

  • Stingray - engine torque and transmission configuration updated.

  • KV-85 / KV-122 - steering model changed.

  • Pantsir-SM-SV - updated stat-card configuration.

  • IRCM - new ray visualisation parameters (8 km).

  • Torpedoes - new magnetic-fuse sensitivity and dive-depth parameters.

  • Barrel heating - emitter intensity significantly reduced. (a hot barrel doesnt have as high an IR signature)

  • Takao / Le Hardi - minor naval configuration and damage-related adjustments.

  • UI / infantry – various interface, camera and spawning changes.

  • Events – minor event and localisation updates.

j-15 and j-16 is just new sensors to have different sounds

more like broken because they took a value that includes wingtip missiles and also it spins out at low speed now

Based on this report, so idk what or why the sudden change (maybe they count the missile as part of the wings now?) because I saw other similar reports for other aircraft

just needs a wee bit aerodynamic adjustment to its FM I think

a person is holding a sword with the words perfectly balanced as all things should be|833x434.721875

(Jokes aside, could you video it?)

that is such an odd list, like why the Bison??

Do we yet know what French plane will be added this patch?

Because they’ve given it the R-77/RVV-AE missiles that were a massively important part of the real life Bison upgrade, but that puts it at a BR a lot higher than the airframe is really suitable for.

The dynamic BR thing basically means you have the option not to uptier yourself to Fox 3 hell, by not taking R-77s

They somehow made it worse lmao

Well… tomorrow, Dev Server ends and DOA-39’s armor still wasn’t fixed.

Way to kill any hype I had for it.

Bismarck’s successor has Nassau level survivability and is meant to be a Soyuz counterpart.

Lol, they’re really going to add another NATO top tier aircraft in the form of F-15EX and not give it internal ESM.

While some vehicles get added post dev server (2s38 comes to mind), this means that

  1. it is most likely delayed to the next update

  2. it could be a premium reskin of an existing French plane which wouldn’t warrant Dev Server testing. Less likely given a skin probably wouldn’t stop it being added in.

  3. finally it could a slight variant of an imported design, there are still a number of BeNeLux aviation that are “low effort” additions. Remember that the premium Belgian F-16 was changed to a Dutch variant based on Dev Server feedback, so that change also didn’t warrant dev server testing.
