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

the Su-30 would be their only saving grace that wouldn’t overstep like the Su-35 or Mig-35 would

eh the 29M might work too but tbh that thing wouldn’t be anything outstanding

I mean neither Su-35 or Mig-35 would be overstepping if they degimped the US F-15’s

yeah here’s the thing.

  1. That “gimped” F-15 has been grabbing top tier by the throat and dragging it through the dirt as is
  2. I don’t think they should “ungimp” aircraft while they still face jets that already cant fight their “gimped” form

More like wait half year more until more modern version, block 1-2 had only a2a

Not likely. PL-10s are MICA/IRIST level of missiles. Way too early.

PL-8B is more reasonable. While it’d be the best IR missile easily, it’s not such an extreme leap as to cause issues. It’s more or less akin to the gap between R-73s on release and other missiles. Where “yeah this missile is better, but I can work with this at least”

Yeah, they add su35 and Mig-35, then they ungimp.

Tbh eft coming is reason enough to ungimp

no it isnt lol

It’s a Tranche 1 EFT. Unless it gets new weapons, the 15E is gonna handle them just fine

Weapons aren’t what needs degimping, it’s the sensors, radar is early 1990s on the C and 80’s on the E, C should get APG-63v3 and E should get 82v1 or keep it’s apg-70 and leave at 13.7.

Also both should get BOL. F-15C is slightly underperforming too iirc

let me help you here because you seem to misunderstand the situation… the 15E… as it currently exists. Outperforms the other 13.7s by a HILARIOUS margin as is. You’re saying with a straight face that it needs a buff to go up from the BR it’s already dominating with impunity.

The tranche 1 EFT can do what the F-15E can do but better and being more agile

They’ll probably add the F/A-18C for US/Sweden this update together with the EFT/Rafale.

That should distract the US mains for a bit, until they come to realize that it gets absolutely clowned on by the EFT, Rafale and F-15E/I in the current top tier air meta.

Well aware lol, it’ll be decently capable in CAS though.

Tbh f-18c is 13.3 or 13.7 worthy in air

It shouldn’t be 13.3. The problem with 13.7 air, just like with 12.0 ground, is that there are like 4 BR steps worth of vehicles being compressed into a single BR step.

I mean after max BR is 14.0, the f-18c is 13.7 material

Leave it to the US mains to downplay how ridiculous their current aircraft are.

Saying the 15E needs a buff is like if I were to say the Mig-29 in its prime needs a buff when it’s the top dog of air as is.

First and foremost this is a game. I don´t think adding better stuff than Pantsir would make the gameplay better. Especially on such tiny maps built for WW2 and 10 year old game modes.

If you want to kill off GRB, this is exactly what you´d do. I would argue more than a half of WT players plays GRB for the planes. Main reason being that ARB for the past several years is a steaming pile of garbage and GRB is the next best thing to play planes in WT. You make it impossible to play planes in GRB, then you will end up with a naval battle queue type situation.

Ever wondered why next to noone plays GSB? yeah…

You could probably spread current 13.7 planes all the way out to 14.7 already with how compressed that BR is.

My understanding is that they pass suggestions, at least in some cases, after theyve already decided to make that vehicle on their own.

I hope my takes are the worst 💪

But its hard when razorvon/alvis exists…
