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

Yeah… If it comes with non-placeholder radar and HUD I’ll be impressed

I’d be nearly willing to bet it will have the tornado F3 HUD and blue vixen radar.

War crime !

Just kidding, welcome to the R&R chat ( but be prepared >:) )

Not forgot Python 4 for F-15I Ra’am, Baz Meshupar and F-16C/D Block 40 Barak too

The early production with Litening II targeting pod, IR missile AIM-9L & Python 4, AIM-120B & AIM-120C-3 AMRAAM (from F-15I Ra’am), GBU-31(V)2/B & GBU-38(V)1/B JDAM, SPICE 2000 and Delilah 2

Personally, F-16I (Early) balance. but before integrated Python 5, domestic israel cruise missile Rampage, AIM-120C-7 and SPICE 1000, 250 & 250 ER

dont forget a broken (in a bad way) flight model

Hopefully Gunjob and flame are ready for that. But what I fear is the BOL + high TWR

Im willing to bet the EFT has been over hyped to hell and will now come and be worse then things like the F15E due to its insane engines

It almost certainly is. I think typhoon Vs F-15e is a more fair fight than most realise

I can remember them being 5p… sad

Knowing Gaijin they’ll give it Gripen FM with more thrust.

Or at least have the gripens limitations like the canard issues

Gripen with more thrust is not a huge thing since its more leathal the slower it goes, but if its like a j-10 with more weapons it would be very formidable. The EFTs are smaller than J-10s but they get more weaponries and its variety.

im gonna be honest I have no hope of gaijin not breaking the EFT or arterially nerfing it so its worse then the top planes already in game

I predict J-11BH from PLANAF same J-11B Early (Block 2) but different landing gear and camouflage

Yeah… I fear what they will do.

At a minimum I’m expecting CM issues and A2G limitations.

J11B should match F15C if things goes to plan. F15E, well we need a better missile.

Everyone arguing here needs to chill a bit and touch some grass.

That’s if Gaijin is generous enough to give WS-10A, and the 700kg of weight reduction.
J-16 is a match for F-15E in flight performance, but that is probably at least two major updates away.

huh? realise what?
