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

from going fast yes, the maintenance cost of the paint will go down because it’ll wear less at low speeds

r-37m most definitely has less range than aim 174
oh yeah aim 174 is being launched from an fa18e
forgor

Quality for Quantity

I’ll take that

if the aim-174 was launched from a good platform that is

which it won’t be because it’s USN exclusive and thats their best platform

Maybe. Though unlike Spear-3. Storm Shadow/Taurus would have the Grom-1 problem in that htey would be effective base killers in the air modes

aim-260 shall save murica
more range than r-37m

too little explosive and too few can be carried for that

By my quick and dirty reckoning. Would only take 3-4 Storm Shadows to kill a base. Tornado GR4 can carry 4 (based upon explosive mass compared to 1000lb GBUs)

(I think ,was a while ago, but it was definetly a reasonable amount to kill a base)

Knowing gaijin it’s gonna have a max overload of 12Gs 🥀

nothing long range will save anyone in WT

that’s still less rhan the 6 Grom-1 problem

Because the Rafale is exported to pther nations. That’s what happens when things are exported.

The first Indonesian Rafale is also a two seat Rafale B, so it would be a bit different from the Rafale C in the French tree if they add it like that.

russia will never be competitive at top tier, bias wont save them

i would argue the moment we get iir missiles, the ones with datalink+ir will force everyone to play bvr.
and i highly doubt aim-260 will come before iir missiles

if you think long range missiles will be competetive then idk

so… next week probably devblog season.

Yeah, but hte issue doesnt change, the ability to take off, firing off said cruise missiles and then immediately RTB… has insane potential for exploitation.

well smin already confirmed that indonesia isnt a subtree and that no more AESA planes are planned for japan currently

if aim-260 comes right now it would just be a worse amraam c-5 lol for in game purposes
