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

Maybe a surprise in the trailer, but how likely that is, idk…

We never got the answer to the question of whether the Kfir C10 counts as their ESA aircraft.

But I assume that is why a Rafale nation is planned for them as a Sub-TT.

I think differently; I believe it might not be the best, but depending on how it’s implemented, it could be a good aircraft for anything.

Yeah. We’ll have to wait and see. Not long now.

But im more intrigued by what:

could be coming, and its quite likely that at least some might be in this update

It’ll be another aircraft stuck at 14.3 or 14.7 then left without anything for another year while everyone else is at 15.0 nothing really new tbh

It would have been better if Gaijin had skipped the F-15C GE and just added the F-15EX this december update.

That way the F-15IA would have also been an option for Israel, although since it hasn’t been delivered yet so it would be a slight stretch.

It’s likely to be an F-15SG, as many people did not like Greece’s presence in Israel.

Anything that helps evading the mica seeker more easily is welcome, I still find the whole seeker situation stupid but oh well.

MICA Buffs you say with nerfs to everyones chaff?

Chaff reduced to atoms say less

The essence of the F-15EX is in its electronics, of which only the radar and EPAWSS can be implemented in the game, as well as more missiles.

He can receive meteor and iris t

My guess would be ECM and ARMs. But we atleast know ARMs are planned for the first half of 2026 so that would just leave ECM, my bet would be in the September or November update of 2026 if we end up with 5th gens by the end of next year.

Not sure though what could come this update though, maybe new bomb types but the bigger technologies I would bet they leave until next year and beyond.

I hope everyone starts bashing the Rafale now rsrs

Yeah for another 400k rp lmao gaijin loves to do that on sweden already

Yeah.

My guess of “modern air warfare tech” would be:

  • CM Overhaul (advanced CM types)
  • ECM & EW (potentially 2 different things depending on what or how they model stuff
  • ARM
  • Decoys (Towed or Dropped)
  • More advanced radar modes?
  • Ground mapping radar / SARs
  • Sensor Fusion?
  • Advanced AAMs
  • MMW

etc etc

I think ECM/EW would be a good starting point

Well, if everyone gets new aircraft, we’ll all end up having to get 400kRP.

420K, although i probably see them increasing the value to 500K with Rank IV.

Thats the problem the Gripen E is the wrong way to go about it. Adding the earlier protypes without Arexis give it a weight reduction and allow gaijin to add the extended wing design. Production model Gripen E should be here when EW is ready. Again that gives sweden one unique Gripen that allows for a lower BR. Sweden air is desperately lacking in unique vehicles. Especially when gaijin will likely give everyone else the Gripen E. Best way would be to add the earlier model Gripen E first which also allows Sweden to have a 14.3 aircraft before next gen missiles.

I agree that it’s time for Gaijin to plan the ECM; at least for me, there’s a good chance we’ll see an F-22A and some prototype of the Su-57 next year before December. ECM would greatly help aircraft like the Su-35 Gripen and Typhoon against 5Gen fighters.
