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

Game Discussion General Discussion
808

The MiG-31 accelerates more aggressively than the MiG-25PD we have in-game. That, plus the AMRAAM-like launch of the R-37 (it’s not like a Phoenix… at all) and ~35 G max overload… Yeah, you better duck and pray your jet can detect its radar xD

Hot take/guess:

We get an F-15E Late/F-15E (AESA) before F-15EX. Gaijin would then use this F-15E to give it GBU-53 and any other missing armament the Strike Eagle can use.

Then, the F-15EX comes, in all its missile bus glory, right underneath the F-15C Golden Eagle, before the arrival of stealth fighters.

Or, at least, that’s what I’d do.

Now, discuss. 🏃‍♀️💨

809

wdym pray your jet can detect its radar? cant all modern RWRs detect on multiple bands and frequiences?

810

Sure, but some people will want to bring an aircraft from a lower BR into top tier for whatever reason. Thats what I meant by that. Most people won’t have to worry, except the MSL indicator on RWR will be approaching faster xD

811

Maybe, but I think it’s more likely for Gaijin to just through in the EX before an F-15E with AESA.

But also realistically would we need an F-15E RMP? I feel like instead of the RMP we could get something a bit more unique like F-15E1, the Silent Eagle tech demonstrator, which supposedly did trial an AESA radar along with RAM coating and could still carry the same armament as the regular F-15E. It would feel like a more worthwhile addition rather than just the same F-15E but with AESA and missing weapons.

I think it’s more likely for the EX to go after the E as there wouldn’t be anything to go in that line for rank 9 otherwise.

Personally I think it’s going to look something like this.

@Smin1080p_WT is there any news on Us ww2 Ground? (I will not read 805 messeges)

813

with the F22A does this mean the new F22B with iris-t pods and stealth drop tanks will be coming?

814

It’s still the F-22A, it’s not a separate variant. There was a proposed twin seat version called the F-22B but was cancelled in the mid 90’s.

815

wouldnt the designation for that be the f22c as b variants are almost always 2 seat trainers?

816

So where’s the B-1?

817

ive seen people call it F22 2.0 or F22B or just upgraded F22A and i didnt know which was correct

818

i think its neither or the 3rd one cause B variants are trainers with 2 seats and 2.0 has never been used

819

Isn’t it the FB-22, Or was that a different program?
