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

Probably something like “hornets nest” if they add the F-18 :P

LMFAO right… That’s why I’m going to have a Rafale and EF-2000 whenever I want after the patch.

na there are more EFTs coming then F18s so it wont be named after the F18 like starfighters were named after the F104

?

You do know that all Britain got last year was the Tornado F3 (which has only recently been fixed to the point of actually being fun) and the Sea Harrier FRS1e which is just a C&P of the SQV we got 9 months earlier.

June, September and October we got essentially nothing

It needs a big mouth to swallow all the tears of the jets it vanquishes

it will be interesting to see how the tables turn when US mains realise they are pretty much out of better aircraft until the F15EX and the F22/F35

Nah, they’ll be asking for Aim-9X, Aim-120C5+ and F-18Es by the first of January

lol ive already seen the odd person asking about 9Xs but even then most nations have better missiles (ASRAAM, I-RIST) same with AMRAAMs

Are they really?

We still have the F/A-18 Legacy and Super Hornets, late model F-15s with APG-63(V)2/3 and more advanced weapons as well as F-16Vs only to name a few.

I don’t think there will ever really be something they have no equivalent for.

Yep, my interpretation is that Aim-9X is a jack of all trades. its okay at everything, but not great at any one thing.

IRIS-T will dminmate in CQB
ASRAAM and MICA IR will be a menace at long range
Python 5 is overall better than the Aim-9X is most regards.

Talking about Britain.

We got Repulse, which was a notable downgrade over Hood or either 7.0 event ships.

Whilst our average is 1 new top tier ship every 2 years. I would hope that we’d either get R-Class in the same update as the soviets or an appropriate top tier ships like QE/Warpsite, KGV or Rodney.

oh yeah the uk is just kinda screwed no tech tree QE and russia is getting a revenge class before the uk which is the successor to the QE class…

I mean, there might be times they won’t have the absolute best, especially when their AMRAAMs and 9X compete with Meteor and IRIS-T/ASRAAM and equivalent, but they will always have something competetive at least.
