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

Would keep with trend of niche vehicles to test new mechanics

I wouldn’t call EW a niche and I don’t see why they would add specialized EW aircraft before working on ECM on the planes we already have

I am surprised the B2 never made it to the suggestion page.

The EA-6 and EF-111 are pretty nice vehicles, I don’t mean EW in general. Could also have EA-6B or F-16CJ for SEAD

Go big or go home, EA-3A.

SEAD? With the current CAS situation?

Bro…

On an A-6 airframe won’t be that bad. F-16 maybe. They will add better spaa though, maybe once those are added

Probably because it would have seemed extremely unlikely to even be considered by the devs until recently

True. But with its lack of being suggested I have my doubts about it coming this next update or any this year.

The airframe doesn’t matter mate, SEAD has no place in this game until they find a way to properly balance regular CAS

It would have been more logical to put a Belgian M46 in the battle pass and then put the French M46 in the tech tree.

Make a suggestion for it then. I’ve just recently started making suggestions for things and it’s surprising that they’ve been approved (some WW1 aircraft + the MV-22) and it’s relatively easy to make one, the suggestion mods I’ve spoke too helped me a ton with fixing any issues and just general questions.

Making suggestions for stuff ultimately help improve the chances of it being added and also help gauge how many people would actually want it. Any B2 suggestion I would immediately support and I’m sure many others would too.

Well if you think hard about it, earlier Anti-Radiation Missiles, can’t target non-radiating targets. So it’s a net reduction to effective ordnance carried, so is in a way beneficial.

The key thing that needs to happen is to revise upwards the SP cost of guided ordnance as part of an overhaul.

While I think it would be a neat and novel aircraft to have sitting in my hangar in WT that’s all it would be. With the size and maneuverability it will be more cannon fodderish than the 117. I can only imagine the hoops gaijin would have to jump through to find a br for it. For that reason I am not going to suggest it.

J10 is also under heavy nerf. After all Gripen is a small jet. PL12 performance also worse than AMRAAM and 72 CM is barely enough.

But it’s armament will be insane. Would need missiles stock to be playable though

It’s armament is what will push it above 8.0 then it will die to every super sonic fighter under the sun. Picture something almost 3 times the size of the B-57 with about 6 times the payload and only going about 50kmh faster. It would have to go higher then 8.3 alone and you have F-104s at 9.3 that would love to see the big dorito.

While cool I don’t see it working in WT.

Launch AGM-86 or JASSM’s from runway though

The GROM-1 was removed cause of how broken that was. I don’t see it right or likely the B2 will have those.

Was only broken because it was on a solid airframe. All the B-2 has is cruise missiles and stealth.
