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

Sorry, maybe Gen was not the right word, I meant like the next iteration of this gen.

So better 9M, P4 etc etc

I remember having discussions with you where you thought it would actually be good lol.

Could be wrong though.

if compared to ASRAAM, IRIS-T, Mica IR and R-73M then 9X sounds like a bad Joke of a missile

yeah much likely that we´ll see Python-4, PL-8B maybe the AAM-3 Being upgraded more to its real performance.

if we were to add a “New” P series sidewinder to the game then P5 would be needed

it still wouldn’t be even remotely competitive tho

and neither would a later 9M if you’re adding new missiles to other nations too

I wouldn’t put it past Gaijin to repeat the Danger Zone situation lol

However, I do hope we don’t even enter that generation of AAMs

Well obviously

we are well on track to reach unflareable 100G TVC LOAL SRAAM territory

you can’t deny it

I never expected we would get modern ARH missiles either, yet here we are

You’re right, a man can still hope tho lol

does the aim 120 count as modern arh?

Are they going to separate the 9m blocks?

I just want my AAM-5

Just to clarify, when I said ‘P4’, I’m talking about Python-4. Not AIM-9P-4/5.

My bet is that they will add the later blocks like the aim 9m-8 alongside the phyton 4, pl8b, r73m and maybe and upgrade to the seekers of the magic 2 and aam3, before they add the IIR things like the asraam or irist

I really, really struggle to see how these last gen IR’s would work in WT.

Gonna have to see this 16v16 slop become like 5v5 for it to be even remotely manageable.

Idk that would mean they would have to rename the 9M in game. Not much effort but seems off trend. Can we even point to what block 9M is in game?

iirc it is a block 3 or 4, that being said i really doubt that naming would actually be a problem at all to begin with they can just add a (Late) or just adding the -8 for the new one like they did with the aim 9p4

What evidence puts it at 3 or 4? Late would be a terrible nameing convention with all the different subtypes so plz god no.

The last three updates of the year all come within a four month window, yeah.

It doesnt really matters which exact block is, what is clear is that it is an early block, and the thing they can easily add a a new one with a better irccm and then name it what ever they like.
