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

It wasnt in development it was said iirc that testing with it was being done

eh t3 and 4 typhoon with asraam/iris-t and metoer are fair fight against f22 with aim 120d and 9x from what ive heard on forums

though tbf f22 was made to revolutionize a2a combat while typhoon refines some 4th gen methods

the plane, or some of its features?

Mostly stealth

Id imagine ofc

Regardless we wont see the Raptor until 2026 at the earliest

i am hoping for some advanced eagle series aircraft to come to USA between F-15E and EX if raptor cant come earlier

Considering its been a year since the Gripen C was added and we dont even have the Typhoon/Rafale yet… Id guess atleast another year after T1 Typhoon for T2 Typhoon. Then another year or so for T3.

Now US do typically get things WAY earlier than would strictly be fair. But Id guess 2026-2027 for T3 Typhoons and its equals like the F-22

The early 5th gen fighter aircraft for USA tech tree coming to winter 2026, maybe

Gaijin could add early 4+ gen fighter aircraft with AESA radar before early domestic american 5th gen fighter aircraft, my guess

wouldnt mind that tbh

idk they might deceide to add t1 typhoon first 2025 major or the june update, with t3 and f22 december.

the fact is, with f18 almost definitely coming this winter major, we have run out of the yearly new US fighter airframes of teen series/4th gen

From what we know, the Typhoon was originally planned for next update a while ago but was pushed back, so yeah, one of the first two updates of next sounds about right for the first Typhoons. The Typhoon T3 and F-22 being added any earlier than late 2026 makes no sense whatsoever, however.

idk, the jump from F-15A to C in half a year is pretty huge, from C to E not as much but still significant and keeping with tradition of yearly new airframe the f18 is gonna be the end of 2024 addition, from there logical step is the 22 for 2025. i expect f18c winter, then super hornet june with f14d first 2025 major

ohno america will have to be like everyone else and have to wait to be the top of the meta again

say what you will lol but yearly new airframes, especially for winter update is a recorded phenomenon for not just USA. the next big jump would be to 22 but they might drag it out with 4+/++ jets for another year

i am biased towards it, it is imo by far the absolute best looking 5th gen by a landslide. mostly because it looks like an evolution of the f15 (which it kinda is) which is my overall favorite jet ever

look at an f15c and an f22 side by side and you can see it

The jump from the F-15A to the F-15C is not even half as big as that of the Typhoon T1 to the F-22. It’d be a stretch to say it’s even a quarter.

That’s all we need to know.

t3 typhoon considered equivalent by some, so its about as much difference as t1 to t3 in terms of effectiveness in game apparently, though i think t3 upgraded or t4 would be fairer bc f22 just that good, though an f22 with only aim120c and aim9m-8 or 9 and no hmd could be balanced with regular t3 typhoon

All these Britain mains complaining for some reason.
Britain does NOT suffer at all.
With around 5 top tier tanks, SPAA at almost every br, 5 vehicles per update, a big navy and getting more and more sub-tt’s.

Gaijin Hates 4 four nations (Japan, Italy, Israël and France) and Britain is definitely NOT one of them.

baised towards it in hoping it gets added soon

And also making you think that it’ll be added soon despite having every reason to believe it won’t.

Quantity doesn’t matter nearly as much as quality.

Ditto.

At best, not on average.
