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

I think their problem will be ground vehicles, biting this giraffe neck

I think doctrine is 2 missiles per target, but only for 2 targets

It looks like the S1 can only do 2 targets max though, it was with the S1M that it could now engage 4

And it was 3 radar, 1 EO target engaged, that’s what had me confused I think

Imagine seeing that thing rise over the treeline, and everybody on your team fires on it

Easy to create in mind, not surprising at all, I think this will be pain in ass for those new SPAAs

Yeah, they’re practically begging to get destroyed lol

They of course can try to add Buk-M3 without all these things… with just its own fixed array, but we all know what would happen to a SPAA without good search radar

I’ll have to brush back up on it. Been a while since I researched it maybe I am confusing it with the S1M.

From what I’ve read the original could engage 1 target each with its radar antenna and EO system, then for the M they added two extra antennae for a total of 4 targets engaged

Just read this post:

Seems like we haven’t met the F-22 talk quotas there…

Agreed

F-22 vs bug fixed EFT and rafale?

BAE Tempest when?

Doesn’t even exist in an addition state yet lol

and?

By the time we are talking about adding F-22s to the game, it will probably have had its first flight. CR3 was added at that stage, no reason why it would be any different for the Tempest.

Except there is no actual info on what it can do that’s specific or concrete enough to add it to game

We know F-22 can supercruise above mach 1.7 (some say 1.76), we know it’s top speed is Mach 2.2, we know it can carry 6 amraam and 2 aim-9, we know it has 2 35,000lb thrust engines

We know none of that for tempest

And?

Same could be said for the F-22. Most of what is known is pure speculation

Not really, we know quite a bit about it, only exception is specifics for sensors, and RCS figures

Ah, they’ll just do the Typhoon pass on it then, just give it the AN/APG-70 mechanical radar and the RCS of an F-16

They might go off estimates for it tbh, so like 515km range for radar and almost instant scan time

RCS lower than F-117 which is already in game

We tried that for CAPTOR-M, we’ve gotten Blue Vixen so far
