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

Are there any top tier SPAA planned for Italy?.. I can now play their top tier and the OTOMATIC is funny when it works, but it’s not consistent.

Also generally what are the rumors for the next update? I’m out of the loop

From what we know, there are a few vehicles confirmed for this year: mitsubishi F-2, badger IFV and MN Richeilieu. Beyond that will be your own guesses. J-10B? Sure. F-16I? Maybe. T-80BVM Obr.23? Nyehhh maybe. Researchable UCAVs? Not possible but perhaps.

If they don’t add researchable UAV, I hope they at least add MQ-1C, MQ-9, and MQ-20 to replace MQ-1 at top tier

Oh I mean stuff like you know, valkyries, basically the same CAS potentials as other top tiers

Ah ok. They are a pretty big downgrade from manned jets but still more capable overall than current UAV

Also, they can be trailer launched. I wonder if they will try implementing that

F-2A Early could be a new Japanese premium with F-2A Late being in the tech tree. Would make sense with how they did F/A-18C early premium and late tech tree for US

Or F-15DJ premium

Dunno about that because at least with F-2 early they can justify no ARH missiles.

I guess they could pick a really early variant of the F-15D but I feel like an F-2 would be more of a draw for the Japanese tech tree as opposed to a non-domestic aircraft (also CAS).

Consider We do have JA37DI, F4EJ KAI with aam4 is also an option, and C&P is their favorite.

Maybe, though I feel like it’s a waste because we already have an EJ phantom. It’d be like adding another T-2 with 9J/Ps instead.

Though, AFAIK, EJ Kai cannot use AAM-4 as it lacks J/ARG-1. I think it was only used for testing with mounting and stuff like that.

It has a test, but I am not sure if AAM4 is the prototype, which may be worse.

There is a topic that discusses if F4EJ KAI already test AAM4 or not, but at least it can take aam3

Yea it can take AAM-3, but yea it’s not really appealing as we already have a premium phantom. I think an XF-2A or F-2A early would be more interesting and get people to buy into top tier these days.

The ADTW tested the XAAM-4 on their EJ Kais afaik. Which would be pretty cool to have, XAAM-4 and AAM-3 on a premium EJ Kai, or even a TT one.
Not like they’d ever do something good for Japan outside of naval in the first place.

I think April fools event would be something which will allow to test control over multiple chassis systems, so they can use it later to implement such SPAA systems which they mentioned there:

I forgot that was coming up. Really curious as to what exactly it’ll be.

To what extent I don’t think we know, but given it’s the same radar on the EJ Kai without TWS or anything to support ARH missiles and no mention of J/ARG-1 which is required for AAM-4

in last passed suggestion, there are many T-33, I guess we will get it next patch.

A new T-80BVM? Huh… I never thought about that. It would be cool.

it would be better to add OBJECT 219M than just C&P

Took only a minute to find. It’s not C&P. As for the Object 219M, maybe as an event vehicle. I’d very much like to see the newer T-80BVM added to the game as part of Russia’s researchable top tier.
