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

Hey, I posted a totally real leak list. I’m offended.

Yeah it’d be interesting to see how 120’s compare to like AIM7’s or AIM54’s.
You got any idea about their short/mid range performance? Whichever it is, their fire and forget capabilities will give it an edge over the Sparrows.
Also will be interesting to see how many the 37D can carry.

Personally hoping the early AMRAAMS underperform so the 37D will stay below 12.0 so the new sim bracket doesn’t put it to F-16’s and Su-27’s only.

That person posted their leaks no earlier than approximately 3 weeks (20 days) before the patches dropped. We’re still looking at another 7 or so weeks before the patch is predicted to drop (during week 10).

So we could expect leaks from our Chinese comrade, no sooner than week 7 of this year.

AIM-120A/Bs are effectively ARH AIM-7Ms.

Much better.

That’s how our boy made a mock-up based on evidence available.

I don’t know about you but an unflareable 10 mile range AIM-9L with 5 extra G sounds pretty wild.

It’s hard to say just yet, but I feel that alot of people don’t understand how strong F&F radar missles are gonna be once they get airframes that can actually pull unlike the AIM-54. the start of every encounter is basically gonna be people spamming as many Fox-3’s as possible at as many targets as possible. The best part is that I won’t have to stay committed to my missle to guide it in, unless the target is outside pitbull range.

I already see this thing at 6.3 or 6.7 despite being miles better than the us and german bulldogs or T92

Does it have a stabiliser?

yes but only apds

Yes, at least according to the blog.

I could see it being 7.0 on release.

Only having APDS won’t matter much when you can almost always get the first shot off.

Well yeah. I don’t want to diagnose an entire nation main group with “Skill issue” or something.

However…

Notice people complaining that the T20 is going up in BR. Meanwhile you can look at skilled players stats in the thing and it’s trivially easy to find players with stats like this.

Same people also complaing the 76 jumbo is too high in br…

Rinse repeat.

Yeah 7.0 seems logical but it would still be better than the T92.

I might have maybe possibly forgotten that the T92 is 7.0 now, oops. The last mid BR “decompression” still escapes me sometimes.

In that case I think 7.3 is a decent BR. Ru 251 is also that BR.

The reason those vehicles are seemingly doing so well is the same reason French vehicles are constantly being nerfed and moved up in BR: since they are widely known to be generally very bad at their BRs, most of the time only more experienced players go back to play them.

Many heavy tanks like the jumbo have distorted statistics because they only get spawned in downtiers. Both jumbos are still great in downtiers but really bad in uptiers similar to the maus.
I can’t really say anything about the T20, because I don’t play that br anymore since the decompression
