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

Tbf, JUST ANY boxer in the TT is allready an Win

Thank you for that answer as well, I could of replied earlier but paw cleaning duties got in the way

tbf I expect them to get an actual Block 2 CRV with the Lance turret

With any luck the UK will whack Ajax turrets on to Boxers or Patria 6x6s to give us more TT boxers/Patrias

is there any news available on this topic?

The expansion of in game tools is continuing. Last update with the ballistics tables. In the future, we will have more of course. But for now, there is no specifics on the who / what / when.

Ok thanks!

just a quick question that was on my mind, but will more drop tanks come to more low teir props that could use them at all?

For most prop aircraft, drop tanks wouldn’t serve any meaningful gameplay benefit. Matches typically don’t last long enough to make them as valuable as they are for jets. So most of our efforts are focused on expanding them for new and existing jets.

However, its something perhaps for the future to consider. We certainly don’t rule it out entirely.

Actually another one from me but this time it’s about hangers, I don’t really like how you have to swap to three different hangers when you have a huge line up as your screen get’s juggled up with blur half of the time. Is there a way to turn this off as it can get quite annoying sometimes

@Smin1080p_WT will gen 4.5 aircraft be prioritized to have their reports resolved in order to ensure they are competitive against 5th gen in the lead up to their introduction?

Reports on Gen 4.5 like Typhoon should be prioritized before the addition of Gen 5 for sure.

TCU uses 9M, and removing the Derby would be a problem. All the other missiles here are IR-seeking, why would you get rid of the only ARH/Radar missile? It could easily go to 13.3/7 (depends what other vehicles get the armament) w/ Derbies.

(Wing drop tanks for the Phantoms comes to mind)

I’m afraid that 5th gens are gonna need the most attention to not get dunked on by current 4.5 gen aircrafts.

If 5th gens got added let’s say tomorrow, most of them would be ahh.

as much as i would love that, its less likely to happen, and more likely to just be another jet with said things

More drop tanks would be great. Obviously not needed for most but would sure be a welcome addition. Stuff like the:

P-51

P-47

F4U

Spitfire

Bf-109

Bf-110

Also for jets and helicopters like the:

F-86

F-4

image

F-104

image

Harrier 1

image

Harrier 2

image

AH-64

UH-60

AH-1Z

Mi-28

Obviously wouldn’t be useful for helicopters but moreso for the looks.

I could see Su-57 flying around as a wonder weapon with 360 DIRCM preventing IR missiles from hitting it, and actually having proper climb and acceleration to launch R-77-1s while notching to guide in the missiles.

Explain? Especially the part about another jet with said things.

Yeah that’s the only one I wanted to leave out of my previous statement, since on paper it’s quite literally the most suited for the type of meta we have.

I doubt that 5th gens are planned for the first update of the year, but June could be a possibility, so I hope that in the meantime they work on the aforementioned “new mechanics” and actually change how air RB works.

4.5 gen reports being worked on like you mentioned is not out of the question tho, them getting new missiles is already quite the step, but still, they could see a gazillion of reports being implemented.

Also the Ouragan, that thing almost always had its tanks irl
