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

The F. GR. designation really is starting to grind my gears

It’s just wrong

Given US doesn’t have any planes listed which would be crazy, as usual not everything in the update is on the list. However, if F-2 is coming, it’s surprising it wouldn’t be there, especially if EFT and Rafales are supposed to be there.

Who knows honestly.

The BTR-82 is also possible.

There is a very slight possibility of the TOS-1A buratino, but I doubt its going to do much.

Considering the inconsistency with the FAW designation for British aircraft in game, it’s not surprising.

Well maybe if they waited to add the F-2 with EF and Rafale maybe its flight perfomance in game will just be that good :D

(Biggest cope of my life)

I believe…

And before its not being added simply because of AESA…

Possibly. However it seems like the biggest difference are a 300hp engine and not much else. For a vehicle that cant tank 50cal, spall liners doesnt mean anything.

Adding Rafael and EF but not the F-2A is just a big middle finger to all Japan players honestly

Idk, is Gaijin allergic to airborne fighter AESA radars?
Keep in mind that this might not be the full datamine just yet. Gzsabi might find more in the coming days.

Gaijin is not foreign to unnecessarily padding Russian lineups, however.

Not a surprising one, however.

I’m not surprised, but I’m still disappointed

yeah

Eh, nothing for Finland huge rip(not surprisingin the slightest), at least my Japanese lineups could be getting bigger with some new toys

There’s not much about updates these days that I’m not disappointed with.

These are the Thai F-5s.

I’m hoping that they start working more on WW2, Cold War and Korean War content next year, if we actually do end up with Eurofighters for christmas, but I guess those hopes will be dashed by them going overdrive with copy paste subtrees
