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

I guess same time, the only reason stopped adding F-18 is that US has too many to add, and Gaijin can’t add too much in 1 TT in short time, this is some kind of equalness.
Like how Smin denied China’s J-10B/11B this update, China has get 2 planes in last 2 update, and 3 continuous update is even too much for the BIG 3 TT.

Id realistically say Germany isn’t a part of that when it comes to air. Top tier is mainly US and RU, aside from subtrees i domt even know what nation got the least amount of aircraft the last 6 updates

They are gonna need something more impressive to save their TT than a f18 lol

japan maybe? only get F-15J(M) which granted was the best F-15 in the game until the E and I

I don’t know enough about their vehicles to comment on their F15. Thai Gripen could be upgraded to MS20 and sent to 15.0 same with HUN and SWE

armament was about equal, F-15JM was lighter and had slightly more powerful engines vs F-15C so better FM

I thought AIM 4 or whatever their missiles were called were better than the US ones. I mean maybe it could be 14.0 worthy, idk i haven’t played it.

I mean it wouldn’t cause japan to lose a br vehicle since the Gripen is 13.7 though i would rather see F2 come in for 14.0

yeah, China is replacing German becoming the new BIG 3 TT in air.

MICA VL for france would be the closest equivalent

not too sure about the russian one, pantsir SM is in this range area but not F&F

  • Su-27SM up to 14.0 with new WVR Air-to-Air Missile R-73M

  • I might hope gajin add R-73M & R-77-1 on MiG-29SMT (9-19) and increase BR to 14.0 for the first major update or second major update next year

  • Increase max BR to 14.0 and AIM-120B replace with AIM-120C-5 for RTAF Gripen C Q1 or Q2 next year

Legacy hornet 80’s coming to USA & British after the second major update 2025 before legacy hornet with AIM-120

USA lack the early USN fighter aircraft 6.7 ~ 7.0 in rank 5

Not a good idea I think, new loadouts can come with MIG-29M/M2 or MIG-35, current SMT is not good in FM and can’t go higher.

Leak when?

Two months.

i’m wondering to how many more updates they will delay the F-2 for.
I sure hope it comes in march with the F-18, Gripen, J-10B etc… Otherwise Japan will be the only nation without a top tier plane.

I predict now MiG-29SMT izdeliye 9-19 lack R-73M

The ultimate fulcrum for soviet/russia tech tree

I suppose MiG-35S battle rating 14.7 or 15.0 minimum

But russian air force service ?

After MiG-29SMT (9-19) ?

MiG-29M2 armed with R-74M and R-77-1, right ?

It’s slightly lighter, but the engines are the same since they were also upgraded to 220E (equal to the 220s in the F-15C).
Not enough to be as good at F-15E, but enough to be slightly superior to the current F-15C.

Is that a British vehicle candidate?!

Laughs in British

I can easily see an F/A-18A limted to AIM-7Ms as a prem or squadron at like 13.0 for the US. I can also just as easily see the F-14D being one or the other as well.

F-14D would be good as a squadron vehicle but I hope it doesn’t come as premium. We don’t need another of the best version of an aircraft locked as a premium. (F-4S) Also the best MiG-21 in the game is the a premium. (Bison)

How is the F-4J worse than the F-4S? I thought they were the same.
