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

DDG-97 USS Halsey

@Smin1080p_WT may I ask if APUs are also planned for AAs or only Lights/MBTs for now?

Hey. As we already mentioned, the F/A-18D will have some skins. They were not ready before the end of dev to show.

Alrighty, I just wanted to check in with you again. Appreciate it. Hopefully these made it in!

Just wondering, since we got F15IA, is there any chance we could get F15 JSI

Technically probably yes, but I think a lot of people are going to be dissapointed by how it turns out due to expectations.

Just as a followup, is it because a “Late” variant would be added as a separate tech tree vehicle, or it is simply not planned to add any variant of the newer AH-1Z? I think it would be a shame to deny the US their best helicopter.

OTOMATIC, ItPsV, Marksman, type 87, ecc got one

Yeah I think it’s been missold to a lot of people as an EX-equivalent rather than a GE-equivalent

Better Radar and RWR but with F-15C engines and lacking a lot of the improvements made to the airframe and armament on the Eagle IIs

Hi @Smin1080p_WT , I was wondering about when 5th gen inevitably comes. Since it was confirmed last year that there’s no plans for them not to come, I wanted to ask about how they’ll be modeled.
For 5th-gen aircraft like the F-22, Su-57, F-35, etc., will niche gimmicks such as countermeasure doors be modeled? Specifically, will we see the physical deployment delays and their temporary RCS increase while the doors are open?

Isn’t this already modelled with the F-117?

Still waiting on gaijin to stop having MITL be inverted on controller. 2 months since they did this.

Its different from opening weapons bays since its a countermeasure door f117 doesnt have countermeasures nor the rah66

does that mean we have a more concrete list of planes for the first wave?

the list would be in the changelog, and it seems like the update is soon considering dev has closed
(jfc, i don’t know when the update is)

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping but can we expect the model and all skins for the PV-10 (M39) to be redone alongside the name change since it had still yet to receive a single thing that makes it Danish rather than the Swedish model Pansarbil M/39?

Cause as it stood on the dev it’s a fictional vehicle that never existed

[DEV] pbil M39 wrong name

these are quite literally different turrets and vehicles
