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

I already knew it was nerfed, but I’d be interested to see the specifics, for sure

It’s also worth noting AIM-9L, AIM-9M, Magic-II and R-73 are all underperforming their IRL IRCCM capabilities as well.

Python-4 and Python-5 does not have Thrust Vectoring capabilities mate, the Python-4 makes use of carefully designed aerodynamics that give the missile a large amount of lift in all profiles of flight. A cruciform fixed canard is mounted on the nose to stabilize high angle of attack airflow over the cruciform canard control surfaces, which are used for pitch and yaw control, a technique used by a number of existing WVR AAMs. Rolling is achieved through paddle vanes behind the control surfaces, and the swept tail surfaces are designed to swivel about the fuselage to reduce lift-induced rolling during high-alpha turning, it have a unique engagement pattern the missile does not go into a ‘pure pursuit’ mode while chasing a turning target, but instead goes wide (lag pursuit) of the target’s turn and pulls into the target at the end of the turn, when the missile has the energy but the target is sapped. again this is what i said above: More pull = more energy bleeding = less effective range. and also some people are not taking in count the speed of the target that it passed by soo… be carefull with this factor because it means a lot for the missile to hit.

Right now Python 4 in the game files has both FOV shrinking and Seeker shut off IRCCM

The AAM-3 and Magic II getting dual axis manoeuvring would be nice.

Wouldn’t be the first time they add the best version of a jet as a premium.

British mains: “Yeah the Typhoon is so good, it’ll beat [insert most powerful plane] in BVR, while also easily outperforming it in WVR. It’s just that strong.”

Also British mains: “Damn I don’t understand why Gaijin hasn’t given us the Typhoon.”

with how amazing some people seem to think rafales and eurofighters are, they might as well add NGAD with them lol

no way they add a squadron is-7

and please tell me we get the Iowa class to deal with yamato lol

The fact that it says F/A-18A for Swiss(they didn’t have the A) and Germany getting the Polish 10TP unfortunately makes it fake.

Otherwise to me, this would have been a hype list.

Squadron IS-7 lol

That looks like a fairly large update, and I’m interested as to how much of that will actually come.

would be super funny if yamato was real but we got gulf war refit iowa class

the clue for me is the US only getting SPAAGs again (RDF/LT would probaby be a battle pass reward or the next event vic, literally either a T-92 or HSTV-L clone depnding on the variant.)

sorry for typos the Gnome OSK suuuucks
