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

theres no other EXTERNAL differences

Ok, but when can i ask abuot it? Druring the Next Major update (Update Name) round up and rumor?

we’ve only had guesses about the upgrades with only a few photos of the raptor, we have no idea if the internals have been upgraded, and even lockheed is calling it raptor 2,0

Im calling it now there gonna call it the F22C and its gonna have upgraded internal avionics along with the external pylons

right now it has the stealth drop tanks, stealth iris-t and the new stealth external pylons which have been in dev for years, but the USAF and lockheed said upgrading the internals and electronics of the f22 would cost too much, and was a reason why they stopped production

The BR’s are for air battles (and at that just there so I can organise it better).

It’s also got no air-to-air armament and no gun. I put it there since it would essentially be like playing the F-111A but only taking the bombs.

Obviously for ground battles it would be higher BR.

how would they work bombers, most if not all modern bombers dont have defensive turrets or a-a weapons, would we get AI escorts? or relay on our team to escort the bombers, or would they have their own game mode with AI escorts and AI fighters or a mix of AI fighters, AI escorts and real players

probably rely on the team. I can only imagine modern bombers being nuke carriers if anything, rather than something researchable.

They could use the base system that was tested in the Deep Strike test done a while back. Have a big target with individual destructible components.

Maybe scatter a few of them around for EC sized maps or even add in some more of the usual bases for more targets.

if we have to rely on the team bombers would be uselss, no? i mean in ARB/ASB or GRB friendlies dont escort bombers, they all focus on A-A kills or A-G kills

Or, more likely, IIR seekers won’t be modelled accurately to real life to make sure that they aren’t death sentences for anyone being tracked by one within range.

They’d be no different to any other ground attacker already in-game with no A2A.

Just likely with a BR appropriate defensive suite

Well, it would force people to stay a couple more kilometers further away from the enemy giving Gen 5 jets the edge they would simply not have in the current missile environment

In case you don’t know that there is really a helicopter in P401 hangar

Bombers themselves would be useless anyways, none of the game modes promote any other playstyle but A2A. Base bombing and AI Targets are only useful when you can do nothing else and are secondary to fighting for most jets anyways. Modern bombers thrive in environments WITHOUT 12-16 modern enemy fighters. Base bombing doesn’t win you a match, neither does AI targets unless you need a few more points for a win.

so they’d be DOA?

i hate using that term, but unless something changes, they will be DOA in ARB/ASB imo

This thing is both cool and disappointing.

So essentially there is an HMS Peacock spawning alongside destroyers instead of boats, while occupying a place before Saetta that can be better covered with another Lampo class or this thing:

the type 81 AA with its mad dog missles again would be nice. it even had its own dev block about being able to fire the missles with out a radar and u could use it to kill tanks BUT NOT ANYMORE. it was silently removed…
