I don’t see a loaders hatch either. Actually, I don’t see a commanders hatch as well. I think it might have a crewless turret
Been hoping they would model RCS for non-stealth but low observable aircraft. Hopefully they do this for when we get 5th gens. But adding the “stealth” 4th gens would be great nonetheless.

My guess:
March:
ARM & SEAD. Maybe also Subs
June:
Next gen ARH & ECM, maybe a CM rework?
September/October:
Early 5th Gens
December everyone else gets 5th gens.

I hope by the time 5th gens are added the Typhoon still doesnt have the RCS of a Tornado
Where’s next gen ir
June-September maybe, but I can see them sitting on those for an annoyingly long time. with the recent hints for PL-15 and dual-pulse. I wonder if next ARH will come first. Especially as they wont actually change much in the current game
*Monkey’s paw curls
Typhoons now have an RCS larger than a Star Destroyer and can be picked up by any radar from anywhere on the map.
Sounds about right, either that or they implement the Tornados RCS reduction stuff it got in Op Granby and the Tornado ends up with a smaller RCS than the Typhoon which is still just the base Tornado RCS
I’ll be very surprised if they don’t drop the first 5th gen in a big update
yeah there isnt really anything left to add
especially for the minor nations (at top tier)
the only few notable possible additions left before 5th gens are:
- F-15EX (or any advanced eagle in general)
- Su-35S
- J-15 / J-16
Going by the Community chat thing, the earliest they will be is June, as they said they wont be in the first half of 2026. So I think we are safe for March at least.
June is possible though, but I really hope not. we need more kit first, like ECM and time to fix what will be a buggy mess

Hopefully they also use the march and June update to have other nations catch up to the current best nations at top tier and do some decompression.
Israel and China need some serious love, possibly Sweden and the US also need either a new jet closer to the AESA EFT/Rafale/SM2 or have one of their current jets buffed/fixed to a closer level (Gripen E for example)
Rafale F4 (only ones that can fire mica ng) and Super Hornet Block 3 (for AIM-174B), also F-15SG
Which is what makes me think they’re saving the full last 4th gens for December patch, I can’t see all of those planes coming in a spring update
Yeah seeing as how the June update is usually the second biggest it makes sense to add ECM then. Maybe with some ECM dedicated aircraft like the E/A-18G for the US and Britain through Australia.

J-16 will probs be the end of the line jet for china before 5th gens is my guess

yea that was the main aim
Yep i reckon we’ll see J-16/16D follow the J-11B, and J-15T at the other end of another line
not in service yet
just a copy paste of the current super hornet with a new missile
nothing major
that is an advanced eagle
that dosent seem to differ too much from teh 15EX
Or save one of them for late 4th gen premium in the future?
There’s sub variants for that
