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

Early Typhoons would only have AIM-120Bs and AIM9L/Is (AIM9Ms for the british one)

l just cannot find any proof of a production aircraft using the AIM-9 under British use.

I feel like the MiG-29M wouldn’t bring much to the table. Su-33 or Su-30SM/M2 would be preferable. The MiG-29K (Product 9.31) would also be a good choice, it has the ability to use TopSight-E which may give the MiG and new heads up display and cueing.

That is significantly inferior to the Su-30SM.

I know it is.

What gaijin should really do in the next update is give me ur HSTV-L its turret basket back that it had when it was added.

SU-33 would be horribly dead on arrival, the MIG-29KR is the most preferable and expected naval aircraft, the SU-30M2 would be a copy and paste SU-27SM, and the Su-30SM would likely be added with a plethora of other PESA/AESA capable jets for all countries.

Personally, I think the R-27EM would carry it, that’s why I mentioned it.

The SU-33 would only be able to guide a single R-27EM at a time to pitbull (with a largely terrible radar,) and that is only if it were to get them, which is highly unlikely.

wouldnt matter gaijin can give it to them, the plane could mount aim9s and britain had 9Ls L/Is and Ms all in stock pile

I suppose that is true, similar to how the R-77s were added to the SU-27SM instead of the correct R-77-1s

Lul?
Thats literally an 27ER with a bit different SARH seeker

In some places the R-27EM is ARH, but in others it says TSARH

Depends on what sources you use, most sources I’ve come across say it uses a 9B-1101K seeker which is the exact one the EA uses, it might have some other guidance features though.

УПРАВЛЯЕМЫЕ РАКЕТЫ КЛАССА "ВОЗДУХ-ВОЗДУХ" - СВВАУЛ states SARH

Spoiler

Source must be quite trustable, because thats official website of military flight school

True, but at the same time, it along with the R-27EA and R-27EP have next to no information regarding their existence and specifications.

Mig29k is just the mig29m but for naval use afaik.

Watch them soft nerf it with only Python 4 and Derby, and not Python 5 and Derby-ER lmao.
Not to mention there’s not really a guarantee we’ll get the HSVD-ADAMS, really depends on if gaijins in a Yak-141 kinda mood ig.

The Pantsir-S1 has stabilizing legs, but those don’t function so I’d assume that’s a nope for now.
