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

US aircraft carried AIM-120D1-3s. C-7 and C-8 are export missiles

Wasn’t C-7 US service and C-8 is the export one?

Pretty much, mainly seeker stuff is where the main differences lie iirc.

That looks like too much to me, but ill be pleasantly surprised if im wrong.

One thing I hope is to get the map rotation working, god knows how many times I’ve been on afghanistan

Logically speaking, it’s compatible with such aircraft and Israel has the weapon. Therefore it can be used on such aircraft, even if we don’t have sources or mentions of it being mounted on them.

Or at the very least, add some more map bans.

Which is interesting because Japan has basically made their own few years before JNAAM iirc…either way maybe its an option?

I mean how since the map rotation is broken to begin with lol

True, though I find I get the maps I hate back to back.

Like Afghanistan which I had two matches in a row now

Yeah. They could do with a cap.

At a minimum, it should favour MMing you into a map different to your last one. But it should also be locked from giving you the same map 3 times in a row. Combine with say 1 Ban for F2P players and an Additional 2 if you have premium, for a total of 3. Then the MM would be so much better

3rd time now

There no information on this missiles performance, willing to bet it’s fake.

because its a special acess project and theyre not just posting numbers??

and there is info, it is reported to be at the very least double the range of an aim 120D

I’m sure it is

the range we have atm is around 200km which is still the max range of a meteor so eh? the biggest thing is its mach 5

the UK and japan at least also have the JNAAM program

I want to believe but yea, just no AESA is a red flag since that was the whole reason they didn’t add it yet.

I doubt many of these leakers and wishlisters even know the XF-2A exists.

On the other hand, as @maxidaxy_ネコ mentioned, XF-2A would kind of be DoA. I think it could still be added later, especially as an event or premium aircraft.

I am worried with all these Thai F-5s showing up that we’ll get a lackluster update and be told to be happy because “Japan got something!”.

200km number only comes from the thing that caused the program, the pl-15

Yep, statements like that drive me nuts.
