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

I would say 12.7 - 13.0 would be fair, its in the same issue as the standard GR.1, any lower than 9.7 and its AIM-9Gs murder subsonic, flareless aircraft, but any higher and it gets slaughtered by all aspect undodgable missiles due to not having flares

Plus the Tornado GR.4 would be way better than the jag if it gets brimstone

Yep, kinda my thinking, though with split Air and Ground BRs. The Gr4 could be at 13.0 for GRB with Brimstones and 11.7 in ARB with 9Ls and it wouldnt matter as much. Though Id hope for ASRAAM for it, Kinda expect it to be the first due to obvious limitations.

But yeah, we’ll see about the jag Gr3. Im half expecting it as a premium 11/11.3 to match aircraft like the WTD61 and Su-39.

We could just as easily get an Omani, Ecuadorian or Indian Jaguar for that, hell india even has a jaguar with the AGAVE radar that would make a nice premium

There is also the Sea Harrier FRS.51 which got some pretty good missiles

Just to double check, are we sure that Hungary has no leopard variants to offer for a tier 7 premium? It is more than weird to think the L2A4TR is going to be Italian, at least to me.
Imo the order is more likely to be ariete variant-cenaturo variant-Hungarian vehicles as of premium tanks.

Yeah, or Saudi Tornado Gr1s. Plenty of options, but just doesnt make sense why we havent seen later Jags unless they were saving them for Premiums

We havent seen premiums that are 10.3 besides the A-6E, and thats the initial bunch. F-5C was moved up so it doesnt count. The F-4 JUNK is rather underwhelming but everyone just carries bomb and grinds that way, so its still relatively popular.
For a tier 7 I would say something like the cheetah.

Maybe only some C&P with camo net, though imo it’s better be Ariete as premium for Italy, so Gaijin actually gets motivated to fix its armor.

Im more hoping for something like the Buc S2B or another subvariant of the Buc. Would be a good match for something like the A-6E. 2x Aim-9L and some guided bombs/missiles

But yeah, Britain is rather desperate for some good 10-11.3 premium aircraft.

Also it is 11.3. It seems like that gaijin is reluctant to add premiums below the br of the first batch of the same rank(ie, 10.3 in the case of a Hungarian 2A4), which makes more sense because more player wanted to go straight to top tier.
The other reason I just straight up disagree is that gaijin probably wont divert effort to a new model since there are only so few grinding Italy. The delays in Hungarian air subtree may also hint that gaijin is focusing on something major, and in my guesses, Turkey.

What about Romania?

If Gaijin is still following all minor axis goes to Italy could be a Romanian vehicle

Tho that statement is heavy on the “IF”

F-111K, I suppose, although it is just as silly as F-20. A decent amount of people still took the budget method, buying the wyvern pack and using the GE combined with some extra to talisman the sea harrier. Others used the JUNK. So for gaijin, they will probably see the JUNK as not unpopular enough for another premium since most people who spent money on the TT either gets a wyvern or the JUNK.

F-111K is unlikely, TSR2 is far more likely in that regard. Australian F-111C might make an appearance, though Id guess as an event vehicle and not as a premium.

But yeah, I fear the JUNK will be with us for a while. Ive not purchased it and have no plan to currently. though I do have a fair few of the higher tier premiums.

I have no idea of what can Romania offer too. BR 10.3-11.3, and they go straight from a heavily upgraded T-55(TR-85 modernized) to abrams(M1A2R).
Romanian OSA-AKM would be much welcomed but yeah, its not going to be a 70 bucks premium.

How is the F-111K silly we trailed them brought them and were building 2 of them in a good enough state. They are more ahead than most vehicles in game

Unfortunately, by Gaijin rules, they werent flight ready, at least at the time of them being in “british” hands. Im not expecting the F-111Ks. Especially as other options like the TSR2 do exist and I think id prefer it over the F-111K

Make it the British nuke carrier as well. The Brits are dropping the WE.177, not some baguette-filled canisters.

And here have they said that ?

If this is true then I can make a list of thing that needs removing asap

Yeah, that would be good.

It would also make Britain mains felt they are treated well by gaijin, not to the other nine trees though, they knew thats not the case.

I cant recall, but I could have sworn it was said somewhere
