Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

I still don’t think this will happen, the USSR fighter lines are still organized by manufacturer and aircraft like the 29K being carrier-capable probably wouldn’t change that.

W/ the unused weapons in the files for the Yak-141, I think the plan for it 's branch is to have it continue to be it 's end-of-line, but at some higher BR than it 's currently rated for.

Tell that to the fighter line that hasn’t received an aircraft for 5 years

You were talking about the Su-30MK2 before, which is just as advanced as the Typhoon.

Then why is your first thought a Russian jet?

is it though

It would, cause otherwise it’d be cluttered with Mig-29M, 35, etc.

Yes.

No my first thought was south African one

Cluttered how ? We have folders for even end-of-line vehicles now.

Why go for a South African Gripen when there is the ETPS one?

Absolutely. I’d imagine it’d be a slower AJ and be unmatched in maneuverability, at least from what I know/read.

Even with folders, that’s 3 rows for Mig-29s, 4 if 29K is put there.

Cause that according to gajin is a private company

No, it’s not. It’s owned by the MoD.

i said according to gajin it is not that it actually is cause it is partially owned by the us the MoD

The first thought of most of these people is the CF-18/188. that or an SA plane.

When did Gaijin talk specifically about the JAS39D and not just in general?

I know it won’t happen, and talk about “paper vehicles” but it’d be interesting to see the avro arrow.

Isn’t the company defunct now ?

Where are you getting that many more ( vertical ) locations for M29 's from ?
