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

Only the Strike Eagle, Typhoon, and Rafale are 14.0, the Su-27SM isn’t that good

Did you mean to reply to me?

The most important thing is getting Chinese missiles on the Flanker, that’ll make it a decent bit better already, even better if we get the J-15 for canards and more hardpoints

I would argue J-11B would still be better than the J-15 despite the J-15 having two more hardpoints, tbh

So what kind of situation will you consider providing BR change and BR extension? As you mentioned the BR changes are scheduled, so does it mean that will like the update which have stable times in each year? The Navy now is stuck in 7.0 while the developer is considering adding stronger AI, it could seriously damage full up-tier cruiser players. Do you have any BR extended plan for naval battle?

F-15C/E are the same aircraft for air RB, and Su-27SM is a slightly better F-15C in overall airframe performance. They’re all equivalents

When they’re literally the same weapons and within 30 seconds in time to climb while having identical energy retention at speed; To claim that F-15E is superior to F-15C for air RB is the only obviously malicious thing that could be said, so I hope you don’t claim that.

Ah ok, then J-11B (early) at 13.7 or 14.0, and J-11BG with APG-63V3 F-15C later

No? F15C is 13.7, F15E/I is 14.0. Su27SM vs F15C is debatable, but ok I’ll give u the 4 extra missiles and MAWs, but R77 leaves sth to be desired.

It isn’t J11B (early), just J11B as it is standard J11B. Later ones are called BG, and then there is dual seat (BS) (lol), naval (BH), naval dual seat (BSH). BG and BGH also exists.

Pretty much, I guess.
J-15 early might be 13.3/13.7, depending on how Gaijin models its weight.

What radar does J-15 have?

Early ones same as J11B in theory.

Same unit as J-11B, but with more modes for anti-ship missions.

That seems more likely

Yes, the F-15C is under-BR’d as I said.
And yeah, R-77 has issues, so does MICA EM yet people use MICA EM very well and people have argued it’s the best AMRAHM in the game.

Either way the J-11A and J-10A are balanced for 13.7, and with the airframe and engines buffs Su-27SM got, it’s easily 14.0 capable as it’s slightly faster than F-15C in time to climb while having almost identical energy retention/sustained turn.

My complaints about Su-27SM for 14.0 went from 3+ to 1 complaint “radar scan rate isn’t ideal” which is barely a complaint for an aircraft when it’s still fast enough.
Especially if I choose to HMD R-77s like I do MICA EMs.

I went from never intending to crew the Su-27SM to actively grinding for it for the purposes of expert crewing it just from the FM and engine changes alone.

Then it could come with F/A-18C (AN/APG-73 RUG II/III) as both are naval jets

J-11B Early (Block 2) and J-11BH (PLANAF)

I predict that J-11BG from PLAAF avionics & engine better J-11B Early (Block 2 standard) and J-11B Late (Block 9)

Air-to-Air armaments on J-11BG (PLAAF)/J-11BHG (PLANAF) like J-10C, but battle rating higher 14.3

J-11B (Block 9) better J-15 but inferior to J-11BG/J-11BHG and J-15T

It might MLU upgrade J-11B Block 9

Both J-11BH (PLANAF) J-11B (Block 2) battle rating 14.0

J-11BH/J-11B Block 2 to 14.0 but J-11B Block 9 would be 14.3

So according to you the SU-27SM is better than the F-15E? is there a reason you seem to be the only person who knows this?

Maybe he has snail powers like Smin, okay i leave now
