Base version no, but I think there is an extended range version as well thats like 40km.
A bit like ASRAAM / CAMM —> CAMM-ER —> CAMM-MR
I dont know about that actually, either way, Id expect them to be identical in game.
I think they will the same in air and ground but neither will be anything like IRL and instead will be IRCCM+ rather than IIR

I’m mostly a ground player so the new things just look meh.
-
The map and vehicle model visual updates are always great, won’t ever complain about those.
-
The new SAMs are a needed, but still pretty boring, addition. Although their capabilities are pretty much still a bit controversial imo.
-
2A4NL and proto Leclerc are eh for me, already have most of the French ground tree done anyway.
Stuff like the Leclerc XLR (with a better round) and SEPv3 could come in as semi counterparts to the 2A7s/122s.
After that it’s 1-2 more rounds of more modern MBTs and there are a bunch of crazy 80s/90s MBT prototypes.
Yeah the Type 625 looks like one of the more fun new spaas.

Ah yeah, Air and Naval are my main gamemodes, so as much as I want things like Ajax, Warrior VerdI II or CR2 overhauls. Id be happier with Typhoon and Harrier Overhauls and new features like ECM.

Which reminds me, with Falklands map coming, I think I need to double down on getting Coastal sorted just in case they add a Type 21 Frigate alongside it
yeah but its so pain especially the british costal
Yeah, it is rough
Great, more 2020’s vehicles…
as much as I like the look of the Type 12Is they are so bad
I think it is exceedingly rare in the case of electronics manufacturing, especially military parts, to continuously manufacture exactly the same part for several decades.
I don’t see a reason the seeker of a first batch iris-t would be the same as a batch from whenever the ground launched variant was offered.
But that’s just a suspicion on my part.
I hope so. I think having a lock range far outside the NEZ is probably quite bad for gameplay, although maybe the option would be nice.
But I think with the more advanced seekers that are practically impossible to flare (anything more advanced than the current AIM-9M) are going to be seriously detrimental to gameplay unless directional heat sensitivity (like you say about the harrier) is added or some serious overhaul of seeker and countermeasure mechanics.
Although I do wish for pre-nerf R-27ET seeker back. Would like that missile to be more useful.
Any Su-34 buff for air to air would be appreciated also.
What do you mean

I am betting on it being some form of TOR or BUK myself
R-77-1 or something would be nice.
Or take away the R-77 entirely and move it down in air BR.
Being a radar boat with a few bad missiles is horrid.

Exciting day for news, now we know that for the next update these are coming
New Top Tier Battleships
Leclerc MSC
Leopard 2A4NL (Premium)
IRIS-T SLS
Type 625E
T-34-85 (STP-S-53)
For the next 2 events we likely will have:
HF-24 (or another Kurt Tank design, Fw 187, Fw 190 variant, etc). I would like the Fw 187 but I think the HF-24 is more likely so they can space out the 2 WW2 events with a higher tier one.
There weren’t many different US ground vehicles that could be added on D-Day. So I think it’s a safe bet that it will be a 75mm armed Sherman variant (Dozer, Rhino, M4A3, Wading Gear, etc).
