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

Basically, these are the Abrams x Leopard counterparts:

Leopard 2A8 = M1A2 SEPv3 (Trophy)
Leopard 2A7V = M1A2 SEPv3
Leopard 2A7A1 = M1A2 SEPv2 (Trophy)
Leopard 2A7 = M1A2 SEPv2
Leopard 2A6A3 = M1A2 SEP
Leopard 2A6 = M1A2

So yep, 2A7A1 makes sense as a counter to SEPv2 (Trophy)!

I also wish they added a 2A6A3 mod for 2A6 (much like UBH for B3, etc), so it could get 3rd gen thermals and UFP screens. 1st gen’s are such a pain in the…

Only for German model but you gotta fight the Italians and British for that, and it depends what model RBS 15 we get

Omg back with the useless comparisons.

Completely new tank for a modification. Clearly that’ll happen

Eurofighters all share weaponry it would end up for all. Apart from hosbos that one is weird

It’s not a useless comparison; it illustrates how 2A7A1 makes sense as a SEPv2 (Trophy) counterpart in a similar way as to how SEPv3 is a counterpart to 2A7V.

Also again still depends on the model, BVVD said RBS 15, he didn’t mention if we get the F model. Which means we get ground launched RBS lol.

Additionally what model was integrated and used on the German EFT?

If we get early RBS then no EFT

Genuinely no clue lmao I’m not even too sure if Germany is integrating it lol just that it’s been marketed and iirc shown mounted on eurofighters

More than the soviets have needed for half their aircraft’s loadouts.

Its only been shown on one German EFT and then on CGI and 3D renders for Indian EFTs

But if a fictional loadout is good enough for gaijin then who knows


:3 F-ER ig again I know nothing

Ah, then no EFT RBS then as ER is more modern than the Viggens iirc.

Well unless gaijin just decides to not add them to the Viggens and just the Gripens and EFT 🤷

Additionally I’m curious if we get GPS points or not

We’ll have to see what they add and if they add that to the Eurofighter as that’s just a development aircraft

Depends if the community screams bias that they don’t get experimental weapons on a one off fighter and get the snail to add them.

Either way I’m just curious how they’ll ruin RBS like they did the Penguins

3 Days until gambling. mark your calendars and save up.

Its also not the only option for the EFT

Hi @Smin1080p_WT, thanks for your time.

Is Gaijin aware of and/or considering adding an Israeli AH-64E to fill their 13.0 Attack Helicopter gap?

The addition will also provide an LDIRCM equipped helicopter that neither Greece nor Cyprus is able to provide.

When other nations received their AH-64E in November 2025, there were no news of Israeli AH-64E.

This has since changed in Jan 2026:

As far as I know, the U.S. approved the export of AH-64E to Israel, but the final production arrangement contract and project funding haven’t been agreed on, because Israel hasn’t agreed to the project domestically, maybe because the project quote is a bit high?
Boeing had originally reserved a production window for Israel, and the United States also postponed the contract signing deadline twice, but Israel failed to approve it each time. This means that even if Israel approves the purchase contract now, it can only re-queue for production, which may push the actual delivery time of the AH-64E to 2030.

Israel reached an agreement with the domestic company Elbit Systems Ltd. to install DIRCM on the AH-64 and UH-60, but this project may be carried out in the next five years. We do not know how many will actually be installed or when, but I estimate this will not be for the AH-64A, because the AH-64E purchased from the United States will replace them.
When it comes to the game, it probably depends on the mood of the Gaijin planner today.

The Israeli Ah-64E, much like the F-15IA, does not exist. Neither should be expected in the near future because of this until a prototype or production example is seen.

Yes but the upgraded AH-64D (by Israel) and the H-145M would be awesome additions even if they don’t have a LDIRCM that overperfoms in game as it is only capable over deflecting MANPAD… (And still waiting to get fixed because IRIS-T shouldn’t miss Mi-28)
