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

That’s what the truck is for.

Those weren’t autonomous though, afaik they simply disrupted drones that were receiving commands, but a fully self-contained system would not have the issue of relying on command inputs.

J-7E (late) with PL-8s when gaijin?

J-7G with PL-8Bs when gaijin?

itll break down before leaving the city/suburbs it came from lol

What does the PL-8B have over the one in game?

Much better motor and a 4 element IRCCM seeker

Think R-27T with Python 4 IRCCM

Simply go into 0°C temperatures

She’ll install a gasoline generator for herself Lol

so guys, with AESA rafale, when will we get AESA F-15C, F-15E, and F-16C?

Probably with the ASEA EF

So a Python 3 with a better motor and IRCCM…

Never 😃

Bingo

Didn’t someone data mine PL-8bs a while back?

eh, EF doesnt need an AESA to compete against rafale, id say the F-16 and F-15 need it more

thats only on very late EF versions too

CAPTOR-E Mk 2 beats all of them (it entered service like last week)

an APG-82v1 can probably beat it in power and range and T/R count though (its a big radar)

let alone the mythical APG-85

Considering that CAPTOR-E beat out the R*fale’s PESA radar I’d like to think the Typhoon is still better.

Maybe, I’m not sure but they would likely come with the J-10B and J-11B along with Python 4s.

I think they were planned for dance of dragons and than everything went off the rails when Gaijin found out about the 4 element seeker.

Interesting fact:

The PL-8 we have in game is actually a PL-8A with a PL-8B visual model and is somehow named the PL-8.

PESA was old gen radar, would be more fair against rafale AESA
