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

And? Not every plane is going to be cookie cutter equivalent to each other there will be upsides and downsides. The F-2, Gripen, and J-10 would all beat an F-15E in a WVR fight because the F-15E’s are suited for BVR, that’s just how it is

It’s joint best BVR with the typhoon which also happens to be much, much better in WVR and general handling (good for low flying and evasive action so no it’s not a gunfight thing), so getting BOL to make up for the huge disadvantage in WVR and handling is pretty fair

Right. Exactly. Why does the F-15E need buffs then?

Then the Typhoon should also get Spear-3 to make up for its much weaker A2G performance

Guys, please take it to another topic or PMs. This has nothing to do with this thread.

Its the Rumour Roundup. Not the F-15 or Britain Suffers roundup.

So how’s the official rumor (CN) going as it’s now August hehe : P

3609

I thought I might ask this now, is Romania officially a subtree to Italy or is it just the case of a few sprinkled vehicles here and there?

3610

Romania is part of the Italian tree yes. Has been for some time.

So far the only credible “rumor” we’ve gotten afaik is the F-22 cockpit/oxygen tank thing

3612

3613

They are just delaying the update to January to keep it a surprise and also not lie, it’s my own personal rumor/baseless theory

A cool personal rumour that may be, sadly its false. Stealth and 5th generation aircraft were not planned at all for 2025. Plans are made very far in advance generally for large pieces of content and this year has been mapped for some time (well back into last year). Whilst the odd vehicle moves a bit to the left or right now and then (as is the nature of development), whole major developments in aircraft generations are not sort of thing done on a whim to just move because there is some speculation on it.

We dont move things based on rumors and speculation.

You saw an image posted by someone yes.

It doesn’t change anything regarding the statement.

3621

So the Harriers just got giga buffed or am I massively misunderstanding this

no clue

I think so, unless I’ve got it wrong it seems they’ve gotten more lift and better turn rates with some more thrust with VTOL. Should be a nice little buff, nothing major but still should make a difference.

I would not go as far as “giga buff” and the true effects are really hard to interpret from the datamine. But they got a buff. Still got a very long way to go before they are close to IRL performance though

But BVR isn’t close to meta rn. Like at all. Even goldfish brained premium players aren’t dying beyond 20km.
