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

That would be a more reasonable addition over an F-22 which sounds like a total balancing nightmare, Though I also dont think the US would suffer if they got nothing this next major and instead we saw aircraft like the F-2, J-10B and Gripen E instead. A long with much needed overhauls to TWS+ and other aspects of top tier ARB / ASB

Perhaps, but I still dont think aircraft like the F-15E necessarily suffer though. Unlike previous match-ups like the Tornado F3 haivng to try and dogfight Mig-29s and F-16s with 100m MP and inferior weapons, the F-15E is barely behind the competition, and maybe even ahead of it in some areas.

Its just a different playstyle to what the US is use to

F22 is completely unnecessary id far prefer a updated F15 as F16C loses to eurofighter in most dogfights
F15-E FM wise only advantage over most planes is speed as its faster than most canard fighters it does fall far behind in a gun fight compared to eurofighter which is why a later F15 model would be nice for most customs and things

F18 bleeds speed far to fast to be good counter aswell

and maybe F-14-D at some point to as thats a plane that should be in by now

F-14D wouldn’t really add that much other than a radar that actually works. Same engines as F-14B. Still would be nice though.

4996

Would also have IRST depending on how Gaijin wants to take it. AIM-120s were tested on it and approved but was later dropped cause the Navy already put an EOL for the aircraft and didn’t want to waste the money on integration. Apparently the F-14D also had used 9Xs in it’s life time according to a pilot but idk.

I guess if you removed the what ifs though yeah it just a better F-14B.

4997

They got enough left to sustain a year of updates that’s just F-15

4998

No not F-15QA, that’s a step away from the EX. An upgraded C, E or even F-15SA to match Su-30SM ARH counts is far more reasonable

We have enough left to add all Meteor variants to last us all year, but will they do it ?

No, why ?

Because if 6 Meteors are good enough for us then 6 F-15s are more than enough for you.

You said it yourself, Britain has 6 meteor, but USA only has 3 F-15

5003

Nuh uh, S-300

5004

Why not Nike Hercules for 20kt SAM

Or S-3000

5005

So does that mean we can also ask for 5 more Tyhoon variant too ?

5006

Absolutely yes

5007

Then it’s time to claim gaijin hates Britain since we only got one variant of the Typhoon when we should had two more. Since the US had three Hornets

5008

That’s fair, there were earlier versions they skipped. I think they would pair very nicely with decompression since if they were added right now they would be 14.0 as well

5009

Doesn’t seem like just a radar upgrade

5010

Here’s something Gaijin can do. Make the forums easier to browse while on mobile.

I was talking about the Russian one, not the Indian one.

Not far off.

  • New Radar (not a lot different from other top tier M-Scan radars)
  • Replace the Aim-9L and Aim-54s with Aim-9M and Aim-120
  • Add IRST (wont have 110km range in game, none of them have their IRL range)

Thats it

There is no ECM/EW in game and I dont think the DFCS would be modeled
