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

The F14 would Still be fine at 12.3 even with 9Ls

The next logical step in each line for US aircraft would probably go as follows:

  • F-16C Block 50 → F-16C Block 50+ PoBIT
  • F-15C MSIP-II → F-15C Late or F-15EX
  • F/A-18C Late → F/A-18E Super Hornet
  • AV-8B Plus → F/A-18D USMC, EA-18G Growler, or F-35B
  • F-15E → F-15E RMP or F-15EX

Explanations:

F-16C Block 50+ PoBIT - Essentially the US’s F-16V Block 70 equivalent. However, since the USAF does not field Block 70s at the moment, and they have already been upgrading Block 40/42/50/52s under PoBIT, that’s what I would expect Gaijin to add for the US tree.

F-15C Late or F-15EX - In all honesty, both vehicles work here. It mostly depends on which vehicle will come after the F-15E. If Gaijin plans on adding modern heavy bombers, we could see the F-15E line transition away from fighter-bombers, while the F-15C line remains the air superiority line. If that’s the case, the EX would go after the C. However, the question I have is whether they’d do a F-15C Late at all, or add it later in some other way.

F/A-18E Super Hornet - Self-explanatory

F/A-18D USMC, EA-18G Growler, or F-35B - There are many things Gaijin could do with this line. The F/A-18D would essentially be a useless addition, especially since they’re changing SP costs in GRB. The EA-18G Growler, on the other hand, would be amazing for whenever Gaijin adds EW. And finally, if neither the 18D or 18G get added, the F-35B would be the obvious choice for this line since it has VTOL capabilities.

F-15E RMP or F-15EX - Like I said earlier, the F-15E line could turn into heavy bombers. However, if it doesn’t, we could see upgraded F-15Es. The F-15E RMP would just add the AN/APG-82(V)1 while keeping the 8x missile loadout. I hope Gaijin does not waste our time and RP with the RMP and just goes straight to the F-15EX. The EX is basically the RMP but an actual warranted upgrade – not just another 420k RP and 3 million SL to throw away for a radar upgrade.

@Smin1080p_WT Do we get any news on this weak?

He’s asleep my man, though the 19th and 22nd seems highly likely dates for the start of the devblog season

The more I think about it. The more I think KGV will be another Rank VIII 8.0 battleship for Britain and therefore wont be the premium option.

Which makes me think even more it will probably be an R-Class

I heard that the robots revolted whats all that about?
