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

I have educated doubts it will have any longer-ranged seeker than 24T. It probably should, but it simply wont (remember the 9M case?). And under that circumstances cant see it being a problem more than current 24T’s are.

who said it’ll break anything?

it’ll be easy to counter at 10.0 which is why we’ve all been making fun of it the last 30 min

I still have yet to see justifcation for why the Mig-25 should be a lower BR than the F-104S ASA or Tornado F3 ?

Both aircraft not able to dogfight and reliant on similar BnZ tactics the Mig-25 will have to do

They’ll have a lower time to target than R24 but also a longer burning motor and less maneuverability, better for longer shots, worse up close. Also 55kg warhead means a close miss should still kill.

both are Better Dogfighters, both have Better missiles

Watch it be 11.0 or 11.3

It should also be noted that the F-104A ASA is an 11.3 plane at 12.0, and that it shouldn’t really be used to justify BR placements.

ngl I wouldn’t doubt that for a MiG-25PD

F-104 vs MiG-25? love to see that one go down, are maps even big enough?

R-40D sounds on par to Skyflash STs

R-60s and 9Ls are just as useless most of the time

Mig-25 is faster, a lot faster.

It’s probably where it should be tbh

yes the F-104S will just slam the MiG-25 in the first pass and it’ll be over

Not gonna lie, but (at least in ARB) the Tornado F.3 doesn’t even work as a BnZ plane.
You cannot really outrun most of the competition lol

No, not anymore, not since its nerfed top speed.

Use to be able to outrun a few though

11.7 is the maximum acceptable; the correct value for him would actually be 11.0 or 11.3.

If its 11.0, it has no CMs, none.

Probably also no R-60Ms or R-40TDs so no all-aspect.

Only way that is even remotely balanced

Given that something similar, large but fast like the F-111A has Aim-9Bs only 0.3 BR lower

It really just depends on how gaijin decides to model it, it likely will be shrunk and twisted here and there a little bit to fit the game.

Don’t need CMs when you can outrun most missiles lol

Exactly.

Tbf you only get like 12-18 CM anyway? so you’ll need to be able to.
