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

What RWR would a 25PD have?

And assuming it gets CMs, I don’t think it would be higher than 11.3 since I’ve heard that it’s overall FM at lower speeds is sub par.

Depending on how its done, Id still say 12.0 minimum.

cant wait for 12.7 mig31b

IIRC it has either SPO-10 or 15.

I don’t think it can go above 11.7 because it would face F-14s, Kfirs C-10s, R27ERs, and that would eliminate one of its few advantages, which is its speed and ability to destroy anything in BVR. If it goes above 11.7, MiG-29s and F-14As will be a threat to it. And yes, that’s my goal: to make people angry at having to deal with it, making them climb high and then leave at above Mach 2.

wonder what gaijin is gonna do with the EFT because if it gets AESA it has to be a Trenche 4, but it would be flying with none of its weapons, not to mention it should have brimstone 2 maybe even brimstone 3s if its a Trenche 4

no big glide bomb ? i kinda bored with the the little one i have on the german eft

it has spo-15 on the pd variant.

Right, and?

So does the Phantoms or Viggen D with only Aim-7-E2s.

Should the Tornado F3 be 11.0 so it doesnt have to face F-16s? its also a BVR truck, only really suited for BVR combat, should it be facing any of the same aircraft you are worried about the Mig-25 seeing?

Right? and?

That is how uptiers work.

What is a Sea Harrier FRS1e or F-5C, etc etc gunna do about a Mig-25?

Only way its BELOW 12.0 is no CMs at all

Missing the 2000 LB EGBU-24. But not sure it has any form of Glide-bomb like that.

Well if what people are leaking is true, pl15 being leaked plus super hornet and AESA typhoons seems like were getting close to next generation Fox 3s. Could be that we actually are getting new weapons soon even if its not this patch specifically.

Is it’s flight model going to be that good to put it at 12.0?

I also want to know if it can accelerate enough to actually use it’s speed within the confines of a war thunder map.

god i wish it could use the double pylon same as the f18

Im guessing it will handle like a Tornado F3 but with triple the speed.

Just run away from everything and fire SARH missiles at targets.

It would be stupid to fight even in well equipped BVR trucks like the F3. Fighting it in something subsonic with only Fox-2s… Would be insane. Especially if it was below 11.7 where it could face things that dont even have an RWR.

Mig25PD has a climb rate of ~208 m/s so it should accelerate well enough i suppose, at least on the larger maps. City would screw you tho. Which since there’s airspawns now at top tier would it really matter that much considering you spawn at ~mach 1 anyway?

Tornados are terrible in BRs, I agree. Phantoms and Viggens can destroy it, they just can’t go BVR against it. Well, if it doesn’t come with CMs it won’t make a difference; IR missiles on that BR don’t have much range or acceleration. And no, it shouldn’t face either F-14As or MiG-29s. The others, except the Tornado, can destroy the F-14s in a dogfight, and the poor MiG-29 can barely make a high-G turn without falling from the sky. So what can the MiG-25 do besides go fast?
And what about the F5s? They’re extremely annoying, let me torture them by making them chase me for more than 10 minutes in a match.

Above Mach 1 should be pretty okay though, the plane may probably feel like it compresses at any flight regime, though it shouldn’t change the fact I also agree with Morvran that, if it carries CMs, shouldn’t be below 12.0 at all, as it’ll have the energy to kinematically outrun most of missiles except the R-27ER/Fakour-90.

I wonder if the Type 61 (Mod) comes as a standart Premium (most likely) or could it be even part of a japanes pack premium?
if its for the pack premium it could be coming with a standart Type 61 with camo netting and Sub I-II or even a M41 Bulldog with a camo net.

Also i found that interesting picture with a dressed up M4A1, anyone got more pictures or info on that training Sherman?

It could yes, in a straight line. it also has a Twr of 0.9-1.0. It won’t accelerate all that well and when you can’t turn going that fast, you’re just gonna hit the map border and then be reset to around 600 kph anyway. I’m not saying it should be lower than 12.0 btw. Just pointing out that it’s fast sure, but more in line with something like F111a that cant turn as well but has a higher top speed, in terms of performance. Also more than anything, I’m curious how well a 55 kg warhead can tell multipathing to eat it.

I’m just saying, if there was at least a tiny piece made specifically for it…
