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

The one we have in game is already considered a T3 even though gaijin calls it a T2 but it’s already up to the highest standards, when it comes to A2A and A2G.

T1, T2 and T3 don’t have Captor-E as of now (T1 can’t be updated to refit AESA iirc), Captor-E is standard requirement in T4, so most nations already replacing T1 with T4 and some like Germany are moving with replacing the Captor-M with Captor-E on their T2 and T3.

Not very close what we have is up to the highest standards for an EF at the moment we have a T3 sanders with all currently available phase enchantments available at the time.

I’m actually looking forward to the Attempt at replacing Captor E on our Tranche 2/3 aircraft

everyone in the Avionics team is interested in how tf they want to pull that off

Why would an AIM-174 equipped super hornet fire at the same time as a AMRAAM plane?

I’m sure when they add aim 174 they’re gonna add other nations equivalents, so they won’t be firing AMRAAMs. It will be meteors for eu and r37m for Russia and china. Although really the r37m is the only equivalent of it, meteor pales in comparison

Context, that guy is in a Liftwaffle

Its a really powerful surface-to-air missile being launched from an airplane.
I think it’d be just as good as an AMRAAM launched from the Typhoon.

Wouldn’t China’s thing be the PL-17?

Germany Spain can do that bc ECRS MK1 doesn’t need a changes in T2/3 since it doesn’t use the same a mount of power that’s needed for the MK2, so they can refit it without changing the wiring or the power systems in the aircrafts like Mk2 so iirc Mk1 will most likely be a little bit weaker than Mk2 but can do most if not all things an Mk2 can do

because a Missile fired from further away is easier to avoid

and just reading the little info I can find from it suggests that it’s Terminal guidance range isn’t that large after all

being an 800kg missile will surely mean it’ll drain speed quick in tight turns

i think gaijin will add the mig31 with the normal r37 before adding r37m/aim174/pl17 etc.

I n t e r e s t i n g C l a i m . . .

Lets keep it at that

I doubt Gaijin will ever add MiG25 or MiG31 because their targets (US bombers) arent in game either

Who cares about 25, when there is a superior weapon designed to counter bombers.
Surface to air MiG-21 launcher

id be up… Because I know both GDR and India had some…

Ooo it’s more than a simple claim

Yeah, they can get both, although pl-17 we have literally 0 clue on its stats other than max range so it’s easier to add r37m to their su35

The Chinese Su35 does have a pretty camo, so I don’t think folks would be all that upset at it

iirc the J11 (Baseline) and J10A both have marketplace skins depicting the PLAAF Su35 scheme

yea… its Headline so that’s definitely something…

(doesn’t change anything tho)
