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

Take a look at this. The latest that a leak has happened was on the third day after a devblog. Then note that half the time leaks come on weekends.

And we still have about another 6.5 hours left of today based on past leak times.

I love Navy/Congressional reports on aircraft from this era because they all read like:
“Congress we want to upgrade our Tomcats”
“YOU’RE GETTING SUPER HORNETS!”

Hey I’m all for getting some juicy leaks today. But it’s also important to not take past precedent as a guarantee either.

The American naval tree is gonna be so silly to play in a year or two. Just jumping straight from the F-14D or F-18C to the F-35 because the Super Hornet isn’t good.

We might have to wait another year for sepv3 :(

oooooooh so F/A-18E will be Gaijins excuse to add 9X, IRIS-T and ASRAAM (and whatever Russia has)

looking forward to that

just wait til you hear that F-35 is so bad at it’s job that they’re now Degrading it to basically AEW by calling it a Sensor Platform

Assuming the F-18E is added this major and I think that is a big if given multiple other nations havent gotten a single TT aircraft this year so far and the US has gotten several.

It could also be stage setting for Gen 5 IRs to be added to everyone at the same time later in the year. Like we saw with the SAAF Gripen C or J-8F or Mig-29SMT.

I still think December is a reasoanble possibility for them

Hungarian low tier air promised almost 3 years ago

there’s literally no way we got the Hungarian tree 3 years ago

The 18E/F being added this update really isn’t that much of a big if. It’s a pretty safe bet actually.

Yeah I think it will be a while sadly. Would gladly trade in both the Super Hornet and Stingray to get the SEPv3.
