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

Current Naval Event ends on Monday, the 30th.

Next Wednesday is April 1st, if you catch my drift so likely a cosmetic only event, called April Fools Event

locking the best american FM behind a event would be a horrible choice

not even just the wings the F14 has a lifting body too its more extreme than the F15s lifting body

whats an FM?

flight model how it handles F16XL if it went into production it would have same kit as F16C which would include the PW-229 making it americas best dogfighter since its also a tailess delta

both stealth aircraft are premiums or squadrons, one of americans best dog fighters is a premium, the best f14 was an event vehicle, why wouldnt the f16xl be event

The F-16XL was trialed before JHMCS was a (common) thing in the USAF/USN right?

Would be an interesting challenge to find a good BR for it.

Next vehicle event should be a tank event as we’ve previously had the Dutch F-16A and the USS Oklahoma. I’d imagine either the Palmaria, Hummel, or Arjun as they turned up in the 2026 decal.

13.0 min since it could carry 4-6 aim120s, maybe 13.3 but thats the highest i see

probably would get it depends on how they add it as if it did go into production it would have all the upgrades of the F16C

Yep, will be something like:

April: Tank
May: Plane
June: D-Day (probably another tank)
July: Nothing
August: Boat (should be British)

july is hopefully something unique like the inviticus or s97 raider x

aslong as its not american i dont care im a german main and id rather it also not go to germany as they just keep copy pasting our dreadnoughts

They usually have a month break in July, so normally there isnt an event in July

Thing is, I doubt they would add it in such a way. I think they’ll just add it as the prototype version that existed.

If the flight performance and missile loadouts are good I don’t think 13.7 is off the table.

they did that with YAK-141 i dont see why they wouldnt do it here

it was made before HMD and HMCS were added into the f16 jets, and no hmd at 13.3+ is a death sentence for the most part, i dont see it being higher than 13.3

It shouldnt be american because they just got one, and all other (naval) nations got one last year. Britain has been the longest since getting a naval event vehicle With Barham the last in 2024

They did it once 3 years ago and never did it again for the many planes that were added afterwards.
