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

The Mig 31 is gonna be like the hornet for Russia added to late at a far too compressed BR

Bro thinks Gaijin will give 1 nation new missiles but not the others lol

Let’s not do that to the French Mains, even if they have the Rafale for almost 2 years exclusively they don’t like to share, so let’s Greece get it and wait some updates for India to take it

Eh wouldn’t matter to USSR. It would be a fun addition to play like a F-14 with much better flight (not turn! still turn radius of Siberia at high speed) performance.

Obviously, The US has to always be on top no matter what. (For realism ofc)

Now if only the average player played better than a brick laying on a keyboard

Gaijin said new missiles would come with the addition of Gen 5. I guess more specifically they said new missiles to combat Gen 5

So I wouldn’t expect 9x for a while in US TT

Raaaah why no nothing

Gaijin didn’t, actually.

That was just a part of the guess from someone not affiliated with Gaijin at all

If anything, I assume if we don’t get new missile by December then the April fools event will be testing new missiles or ECM.like the first run of NE

We should, since some nations (IIRC mostly just China) can’t use any previous gen missile on their 5th gen.

We could see a CBT (or OBT? idk) for said missiles between now and then. We’ll have to wait and see.

Only question is BR, I could see current 14.7s getting new missiles but the 14.3 jets nothing which means the nations lacking 14.7 are probably screwed going forward in some form

You’re right, I was conflating a trusted leak source with Gaijin, oopsies 😅

It should be expected that all current 14.7s will get new missiles. It wouldn’t make sense for something like JAS39C getting Meteor when it is compatible, would be too unbalanced and leave a gaping hole in the Swedish tree.

Of course, some nations lacking 14.7 for now (IIRC it’s only Israel? But that’s easily fixed with Sufa given I-Derby ER or SkySting and upping it/their BR as needed. Do note on that page it notes (verbatim) it can be used on any aircraft, including existing)

Of course, any other nations lacking 14.7 could be solved by then, so…

China, Sweden, US, Israel all lack a 14.7 jet

J15T I believe got put to 14.3 (no idea what they could get at 14.7)
Gripen E (2016) 14.3 (no solution to 14.7)
Pobit and GE is 14.3 (GE could honestly move up)

Israel is just the F15E at 14.0 (Greek Rafale)

China should be receiving something new eventually, probably a J-16 or Su-35.
Sweden’s JAS39E will eventually get Meteor and naturally a BR adjustment as it would carry the most Meteors.
US has F-15C GE, already a 14.7 aircraft just terribly under BR’d.
Israel’s getting a Rank IX aircraft soon. Very possible it could be Rafale.

(I couldn’t keep up with edits, going off the OG reply)

Wait how many meteors can gripens carry?

JAS39E can carry 7. JAS39C can carry up to 4.

Moving the Gripen E up when it’s already underperforming is both a silly decision and also hurts the tree by losing their only 14.3

It’s more likely gaijin adds the current Generation that’s actually in service with Sweden or they get the Brazilian F-39 which is the best model currently on service.

As for the other I have no real comment

That’s monstruous ngl
