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

It’s not as bad as you’re thinking. Not every next gen missile is like the Fakour on steroids. Some have better battery life, most with slightly or completely different type of propulsion, etc. They have more range yes, but they’re not dangerous in those long shots if you defend properly. It’s the medium ranges where they’ll be annoying. For context, by “medium ranges” I mean 50-60 km. No one is gonna fire from 70+ km and get consistent results.

Is it still possible at those ranges where there is a solid chance it might hit? Yes.

If you’re flying straight of course it will lmao

Most next gen (and even current) missiles to be launched from far are AFK check missiles. If you die to them it’s genuinely because you weren’t paying attention.

I personally wouldn’t try multipathing AIM-174B or R-37M or any beefy missile. That’s a recipe for disaster.

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping, however. I have seen (and purchased) update packs on the Microsoft store. This has happened twice before and it normally means the update has been pushed back, am I correct in assuming this is the same case?

Day of or day after. Some packs normally show up a week after if we have a big update, the Rooivalk was like this.

Up to 48 hours before before the update release is what it used to be.

such a funny definition, because it would mean the IL-10(1945) and Il-2 Type 3 are the same plane, but IL-10(1946) and IL-10(1945) aren’t, since 1946 can headon and defend itself more fiercely.

On Microsoft store, it it normally a few hours after the patch actually drops when they show up, usually hidden for 48hrs before yeah.

not surprised. this update is usually time crunched

so how would one preorder a pack

Xbox has a “grace period” of 1-3 weeks after the patch to buy it and get full preorder bonuses.

Huh. The more you know lmao

Spoiler

Microsoft > Sony

It is still not very well known about and people literally miss out on the bonuses, especially the new players. I have 0 clue if Sony do the same.

I could be wrong, but iirc playstation players have a similar grace period. Pre order packs also usually only appear at most 48 hours before update release in the PS store.

Those are all C&P anyways because they look similar and all start with “Il-”
