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

Probably second or third patch of this year

A few days ago I was in a Ground RB match flying the 39, and had a cocky F-16 on my ass. I reversed him and he decided to pull right in front of my nose and I sawed his wing off. He had already spammed all his 9M’s at me but the IRCM did it’s job.

I later got killed by a top attacker Aim-9M from an F-15 directly above

So wouldn’t it be possible to simply carry one of the pods available for Su-39 to guide Vikhr?

something something sidelobes

Su-25SM3 is probably the next attacker we may end up seeing, DIRCM and Thermal imager with a x16 zoom will be neat, also I’d like to see the A-10C added along with it.

su39 and t need their khod thermal pod, idk why they havent added it yet

AIM-120A/B are comparable to R-77

AIM-120C-5 to R-77-1, PL-12 and MICA (apart from TVC)

also where is the “better than su39” su25 we were supposed to get in the tree

Yeah, that was what he was trying to do to me, took everything I had to manage throttle, flaps and airbrakes to stay on his six. Managed to get a partial hit with a Skyflash which crippled him enough for guns

Su-39 late )))

Hasn’t been added yet obviously, it will most likely be the Su-25SM3.

Do you have a source to do some light reading on?

either that or the su25tm since gaijin thinks su39=/=su25tm

which means maybe we will get r77 for the tt version

Part of me thinks that if aim-120s come to game the F-14A may come in that update and the radars in aircraft that are currently held back like the Viggen Mod D, F-14B, F-15, & Su27 are going to get their actual power and precision updated to historical standard.

I believe when all these active missiles come to the game and the many aircraft that are able to use it will longer be who he who has the best missile but the best radar.

The Su-39 is labeled the Su-25TM in the files btw, idk if that means anything though.

Would make sense with aircraft like AV-8B+ (with AMRAAM) and Sea Harrier FA2 likely due soon as well

The aim-120 is still heavily reliant on the launching aircrafts radar until the terminal phase, team keep that in mind.

So when the Aim-120 does come expect differing accuracy performances depending on the aircraft, its radar, datalink and fire control.

i know what one gonna have the best radar

except as we saw when the su39 was first added, that they think the su39 is an export model meanwhile su25tm is the normal one
