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

sir this is the WT community iam pretty sure that there are ppl here that have sources for it

but just not unclassified ones

Yeah some might have some stuff gathered already, but they still have to go through bossfight #1 aka BRM’s.

As for the classified sources, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone pulls the funny.

Nah… its way more simple than that.

Soviet ECM will render all Fox-3s unusable at top tier against soviet aircraft.

Bluefor ECM will reduce the effective range of Fox-3s by about 5%.

That’s too on the nose. It’s more like ECM for all top tiers will work quite well including both bluefor and redfor in hindering radars, but then the Su-30s will be able to fire through the IRST and actively guide it in their R-77-1s through the laser while both US and EFT gets to fire AIM-120s through the IRST but won’t be able to actively guide it in due to no laser in their IRSTs.

This way it’s just an unfortunate thing for a lot of western IRSTs to not have laser.

Fun fact, Su-30s are able to fire R-77s through HMD-IRST right now.

Just had a 500lb GBU land on the top of a tank and only take out the MG.

I’m more concerned with the degree of effectiveness, like you said, Vietnam era could be a good starting point, but missiles/radars on those jets have somewhat poor performance already, add systems that make such weapons even worse and it will be pointless to even carry them.

That’s why I fear that it will be RNG.

Thats not very close

They can use the stronger jets of that era like the F-4J

it changes the battlefield up yes

thats the fun bit

if you allow ARMs to target aircraft (and their Jammers) then that could even it out again

Jammer on? catch my ARM, Jammer off? Catch my SARH
Both missed? IR missile it is

Fair, gonna need those new IR’s though, I can’t be bothered with 9M’s or R-73’s going for for a single flare😔
