Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

if the leak is 100% right (which they never are) then this update is smaller than the last

at least a decent few images I have seen i dont see any additional armour on the hull, and then others I seen this block on the front plate but it doesnt look like the Strv 122 package

You weren’t looking at the 2A7V, then. I just looked and found quite a few images of it with the add on armour.

then you saw a 2A7 and not a 2A7V

no I am just saying that I doubt gaijin will be smart enough to actually add ARH missiles slowly to older airframes, instead it will be like when they added IRCCM and just give it to the top fighters making them even better

IRCCM IR missiles aren’t as impactful as capable Fox-3s will be.

doesn’t change the fact that they could have came on older airframes to balance them first but no they came on the best airframes in game, so yeah no i wont hold my breath on gaijin being smart about the addition of ARH missiles

Completely ignoring what I said, I see.

what? no I listened to it, your argument is because they would have more of an impact that they would be smart enough to added them to older airframes, which I agree they should do that but my argument is if they were going to do that why not treat every advancement in missiles technology like that to keep underpowered airframes still competitive?

they were not that much of a difference compared to 9L and your forgot that they

did get added to older airframes first, Su-25BM got R-73 an update before 9M and R-73 were added to capable airframes

And IRCCM IR missiles aren’t as impactful as capable Fox-3s will be, yet you are acting as though they are, so the only logical explanation is that you are ignoring what I am saying.

I guess your not listening to what im saying, but okay im just gonna drop this as I dont feel like wasting my time on a brick wall

I am listening perfectly well, and am saying that they are not the same and thus should not be treated as such.

tbh i completely forgot the Su-25BM came out as I took a break when that event was going on so I never knew it got R73s my bad

they were changed a few times during the Su-25 Monopoly on IRCCM missiles

I can only guess this was done to refine the technology and well, test how bad they really are

with AV8B+ alreads being in the game and them adding 2 new top jets last Major whose main Missile are AMRAAM and R-77 I can only believe they’ll test it either on an AV8B or with number restrictions on the F-16C and MiG-29SMT

Update before last, and the AV-8B+ was added in that update also.

if they actually only came on the AV8B and FA2 then sure that would be fine, but I still think them coming to the current top airframes would just be way to busted

the difference to the situation with ARH missiles is that we already have had them for a bit more than a year on the F-14s

which is also why people fear AMRAAM as the AiM-54s were very much supressinf everything at top tier for a few months when the F-14 was new

I think they will give it the same add on as the Strv 122, but will keep the hull composite itself the same as the 2A6.

Yes.
