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

we already knew it was gonna be a smaller update so eh

ah. another dev season, another migraine for just about everyone involved. good day boys, what are we wishing for this time?

Yeah exactly. Not unheard of. Has happened in the past.
Hope you’re right!

nothing really, since most of the things I really want I already know wont be in this update, only thing that might make it is ARM and even then I have a feeling gaijin would forget about the uk having them

AIM-4 FALCONS!
But doubt they’ll come. So far the LL didn’t have anything I particular want aside from SEAD.
F-117 and F-22 would be great further down the line but not expecting those now.

cant wait for gaijin to give america the F22 in the same update the EFT comes to just completely overshadow it

i did suffer a minor stroke when i saw F-22 but there is no way gaijin is already considering that… right?

i honestly feel like theyre just testing lower observability, think rafale and Su-35 with the coatings and such

Looks like a tank for these two:

I mean how else is gaijin gonna keep the US on top when we get into 4.5 gen jets since things like the EFT and Rafale will probably mop the floor with F18s and F15s

There was a leak yesterday about long term developments where the F22A is marked as “being worked on”.

That thing looks wild I might play American tanks for it

i saw it. i dont exactly believe it though, the economy changes for example also turned out to be completely false

I’m pretty sure 5th gen is being worked on. I’m also pretty sure it’s at least 2-3 years away.

Did they?

They are probably already working on it to a certain extend. Given how long it takes to implement new vehicles from scratch.

i mean its possible i guess but i dont really see gaijin as the kind of dev to start work on something early, let alone years early. for now ill just stand by the idea that they might be testing ram coatings for later gen 4 aircraft using some 22 model or whatever. its a leak list after all, doesnt need to be perfectly spot on

Doubt it. “Being worked on” likely means it comes earliest end of 2025 but am personally not expecting it before 2026. Might even come later.

None of what was in the leak was confirmed, but I believe that it did show Gaijin’s thinking. And obviously they can change their mind on things.

On the case of the f-22 being leaked I believe it was just them testing stealth and smaller radar cross sectional area functionality

Nah. Teaser on 24th
