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

True. But thats relatively minor compared to Britain which is “get a new vehicle that is significantly worse than the US and USSR’s latest aircraft in the update after them”

Don’t have it, but I’ve heard the 29G has slightly better flight performance than SMT - although it ultimately doesn’t make a noticeable difference in actual air RB battles.

It’s not a brick, so it does in fact make quite the difference.

At least you got them for us it’s ether a Phantom or a Tornado that is

A support fighter & 2 Multi role.

I never said that Britain isn’t suffering more.

As far as I know. Its just a C&P of the first 2 Mig-29s but with R-73s. Where as the Soviet Mig-29 with R-73s is heavier, thus lower performance in a turn. But both outclass most other nations

And R-27ET.

Forgot about those, but they are still broken right?

Broken as in good or bad?

Bad, dont they have like 1/10th the range they should have or something

It has slightly less range than the ER due to being less aerodynamic. The range problem comes from it being IR, and thus needing to be closer to get a lock.

Same can be applied to F15, no confirmation or proof to my knowledge but yet everyone is still talking about it like it has been confirmed.

So Germany has one of the best top tiers, maybe for the first time since CL-13B Mk.6.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how long this lasts.

Well, it has been a whole 2 months by the time of the next update since the US got a new aircraft, and they’ve barely gotten anything at top tier for air this year. So its expected they’ll get something. The F-15 is the most logical next addition for them as a 12.7

That’s true.

Now that you mention it, I have no idea where that came from.

But the Gripen was confirmed though ?
And that was by 5 gaijin different sources

They’ll get F4F-ICE next which will probably be fairly DOA and then have to wait a year+ for anything else at top tier until the Typhoon. Once Typhoon gets added, so long as its not nerfed through the floor and other nations arent in the F-22/Su-57 then the Typhoon should be pretty competitive. For all 3 nations that run it

It will be yes, not sure where you got that document.
Germany never received or tested Flankers. Also The Military Balance isn’t really a good source.

M8 you do realise that Germany can get like 6 jets by using the Swedish reason : D

This one, I believe.

It’s not the most official confirmation I’ve seen, but close enough.
