Yeah, with sidekick weapons racks it could carry 6 internal missiles. But for these we know that F-35 normally can’t do that and I don’t know which (if any) are equipped with it.
Btw Smins official statement from around a month ago
so not this year (at least as of late June, who knows what they decided in the meantime)

Yeah, personally I won’t believe it unless I see solid evidence otherwise or actually see dual AMRAAM racks on both wing stations
He said this year. What if they push it to release January 2026 or summer 2026
Man, I sincerely hope they just cancel all that 5th gen nonsense.
It’s going to be such a mess

Gets the option to fly the A and still chooses to handicap himself with the B.
Gotta respect the grind.
I don’t trust Smin’s statement mainly due to three factors,
-
He says repeatedly in the past that he and the dev never comment on leaks (So why did he do it with this one)
-
Christmas, every Christmas update has always been about new aircraft jumps, look at the Typhoon last Christmas, the year before jet focus and the update of 22 F-16’s Mig-29s and all of the cool stuff in there. So yeah bit strange to not have something huge for this Christmas.

Models, we all should know by now that gaijin commissions a bunch of models and those models that are ready make up the update unless it’s has a theme in which the highlighted models will be ready on time

I don’t think those airframes have even started construction. So I wouldn’t be sure of it yet
You’re right, no need to jump to conclusions. As are only theoretical atm.
God, I really wish the US wasn’t the only Blufor nation with CATOBAR carriers (I don’t count France, they do their own thing), I’d love to see C models operated by allied nations.

I will usually always choose fun over anything else. Which is why the biggest buffs im after for the Tornado are not necessarily performance buffs like finishing the FM, but instead things like ASMs and CBUs
You know… i’m still waiting for an easy vehicle editor thingy for War Thunder. Something that enables players to tinker with current assets to create new assets.
Like new vehicle models with realistic, historical alterations, so that they can be added ingame.

M551A1 TTS, very simple upgrade for the Sheridan, passed for consideration a year ago, nothing else on it. Seems like a good enough mechanic, would get the community involved and decrease the workload on the devs.

China has a CATOBAR carrier and the J-15TH and J-15DH care catobar equipped
And most likely the J-35
Missed the Bluefor comment oops
Supposedly block 4
Why is it so easy for everyone to believe this? No one thinks that even Smin could lie to avoid suspicion. In the same leak, the dataminer himself wrote that they could postpone the update because it was leaked so early
Yeah, I’m hoping Chinas new CATOBAR carriers get the JMSDF to panic build a pair of their own.
Unlikely, I know, but -35Cs sporting the Hinomaru would be pretty sick…
you cant really panic build a nuclear supercarrier
Sure you can! Watch this!

You can panic build anything if you pour enough money onto your military
