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

Maybe, but I think it’s more likely for Gaijin to just through in the EX before an F-15E with AESA.

But also realistically would we need an F-15E RMP? I feel like instead of the RMP we could get something a bit more unique like F-15E1, the Silent Eagle tech demonstrator, which supposedly did trial an AESA radar along with RAM coating and could still carry the same armament as the regular F-15E. It would feel like a more worthwhile addition rather than just the same F-15E but with AESA and missing weapons.

I think it’s more likely for the EX to go after the E as there wouldn’t be anything to go in that line for rank 9 otherwise.

Personally I think it’s going to look something like this.

@Smin1080p_WT is there any news on Us ww2 Ground? (I will not read 805 messeges)

with the F22A does this mean the new F22B with iris-t pods and stealth drop tanks will be coming?

It’s still the F-22A, it’s not a separate variant. There was a proposed twin seat version called the F-22B but was cancelled in the mid 90’s.

wouldnt the designation for that be the f22c as b variants are almost always 2 seat trainers?

So where’s the B-1?

ive seen people call it F22 2.0 or F22B or just upgraded F22A and i didnt know which was correct

i think its neither or the 3rd one cause B variants are trainers with 2 seats and 2.0 has never been used

Isn’t it the FB-22, Or was that a different program?

On what about it?

for the next major update? is there anything planned?

well the usaf hasnt given it an official name yet but my guess is it will be called the F22C

We just had a major update a week ago. Nothing is going to be announced yet for the next one for some time.

That’s the B-1B, not the B-1A are you sure a supersonic low RCS airframe; SNIPER-XR TGP + 24x 2000lb JDAM-ERs carried internally (and more externally), is worth a 10.0 rating, seems a tad low.

It’d be slightly more reasonable for a B-1A or B-1R. But not a B-1B with up to date stores.

Good morning Smininator.

Why would it have a new name though? It’s just new drop tanks and IRST pods. I don’t think there’s any other differences.
