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

is Kfir C.10 (Block 60) Colombian? And does it have AESA? Does J-10B have AESA?

They will get the Finnish MiG-29 which totally exists

I wonder why the Kfir Block 60 is on the list if this is the case

remember leak lists are not every addition

Unknown PESA iirc, late J-10A(H)s and J-10C got AESA.

As I talked before this is possibly the tier 8 premium. The F-20, BISON, JA37DI are all upgraded legacy airframes with fox3 capabilities, so is the kfir blk60/C.10.

I guess it’s lack of CM and missiles balance it out, however I’m not entirely informed on what it’s equipped with besides what missiles it would probably get, also it’s possible that this could still not balance it

ok the lack of F-2A is confusing, maybe it just wasn’t leaked copium

Not true, the Trophy on the Namer IFV is turret mounted

J-10B is using a PESA radar. It was not widely adopted because J-10C with AESA was ready much sooner than originally thought.

As a USA/Sweden main i will join you in your oof

Looking at the suggestion it seems reasonably good in terms of weapons

Pretty much my point.
There are a lot of steps that need to occur to prep War Thunder for AESA fixed-wing aircraft.
Right now Gaijin has a helicopter they can test code with.
They have Su-34 for PESA work.

I want F-2 more than most, and I also know that work needs to be done. Its equivalents aren’t coming yet.

We’ve had to deal with F-15C/JM/E/I not having their equivalents.
Been waiting over 12 years for any game to implement F-2, and I don’t want F-2 to be seen as the F-15E is seen currently.

@maxidaxy_ネコ
The F-2 sadly lacks CAS options.

Oh yeah, could be another test platform for AESA. After all, F-2 is a guaranteed next year item [latest] regardless.
I’d expect Kfir C10 to be over-BR’d due to Gaijin’s concerns about AESA as well as AESA being in a work-in-progress state.

Dont tell this guy how OP the derbys are lmao /s

Kfir C10 is a bit of an oddity due to it’s kit & radar.

The fact it’s most likely going to be Colombian makes me think premium?, but the kit feels like its too… ‘top tier’ to be premium?

That’s crazy.

But maybe it also leads credence to the possibility of F-2 because they figured EFT, Rafale, etc would balance out the radar, just in case.
