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

Lack of care.

I would have figured the potential profits would overcome their profound distaste of adding new things.

We know the F-2A is coming this year from BVVD’s comments in the Russian livestream.

Yeah, they say a lot of things. I’ll believe it when I see it. As of right now I don’t believe it’ll come this year, they seem dead set on adding anything but the F-2.

Gaijin has a track record of adding the absolute bare minimum to Japan, so the F-2A not being in game already is not at all surprising.

I’m just hoping we get a filler update or two this year (preferably with an A-4M late for the US tree)

There are countless interesting entirely new vehicles and mostly unique vehicle variants left to be added.

Hopefully we will see some interesting older designs this year. I’d love to see stuff like the the F3D-2M Skyknight, the F5D-1 Skylancer, F7U Cutlass, the remaining Century Series planes, the Tu-128 Fiddler, the Yak 28P Firebar, the Gnat, the Hawks or really any advanced trainer/light combat aircraft.

Even moreso hoping to see some general gameplay improvements, the return of ARB EC, more interesting maps for both ARB (more complex terrain, better natural cover, more maps with carriers and ships, less ridiculously large trees) and GRB (less corridor maps, less maps that severely limit the viability of SPAAs and SAMs) and finally those new Anti Air systems.

This would be better with a radar trailer

I think you can pitbull the AMRAAM, and since they could be later models the seeker is probably improved and even better range than AIM-120A/B

Does amraam have IFF for its own radar?

You can but it should come with multi vehicle SPAAs

No, I don’t think so

Don’t all other US options not really have enough range?

I doubt it, but iirc, the pilot/ground crew could issue a signal for it to self distruct if it were going for the wrong target

God I hope, why do we have the worst A4 in the TT

Does anyone know if the 4m proxy fuze radius on the Tracked Rapier is correct? Surely they wouldn’t put such a massive trigger radius on a missile with such a tiny warhead (it has like 115g of TNT equivalent more than the Stinger, just 655g, but a 400% larger trigger radius…)

You can pitbull the missile if you don’t have a radar. Technically you can do with a radar as well.

Feels like the damage of the Rapier missile is bugged in general at the moment, because it’s just super inconsistent.

I think the general theory is that the missiles are exploding too far away and thus doing basically no damage, which is what Khorne is asking about, whether the 4m Prox fuse is actually correct
