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

Gaijin not add new aircraft better Mirage F1CT in rank 8 for france tech tree 1 year & 5 months

Belgian it might be as part of the Netherlands & Luxembourg in Benelux tree

but hellenic might be sub tree for france tech tree ? not bad

The only other option would be to add better ARH to certain airframes. Like AIm-120C on the Tornado F3 vs Aim-120A/B on the F-15C

The Yak-141 already has R-77 loadouts in the files, so it 's a safer bet than most other possibles.

When they’re planned to get the JAS 39C, and already have a SARH-limited 39A ? Seems very unlikely.

Maybe, but wouldnt Yak-141 be a notable step up over the others. Its a really strong airframe

Edit: I suppose very limited number of hardpoints would compensate for that

it depends what their gonna do i feel like they are gonna add the F15c SU30 ans the Swedish Gripen C at the same time all with fox 3

Well it could be a 5th line in the French air tree, but then the French ground tree has 5 lines already and that’s where Belgium has most to offer, it’s a bit of a tricky situation

Yep, that is probably what they are going to do. But then that would leave 50% of nations DOA at top tier again.

So is the Gripen C, but what I’m seeing more evidence of is intent to bring parity of access to the new weapons - not necessarily equality between the airframes which introduce them.

Unless, as Typhoon Suggested, the Viggen D was the first with AMRAAM for Sweden.

But yeah, we saw Tornado F3 vs Mig-29 and F-16, they dont really care about balance.

Though the quicker AMRAAM on F-15, the quicker we can get Typhoon I suppose

I mean they stated the dont want any one nation to be dominant in top tier with the introduction of FOX-3 so i imagine they will try to aim for as similar number of FOX-3s per plane as possible.

Thats how it always has been and shall be it again
Our top tier plane will be immediately over shadowed by everyone else with AMRAAMs

But that just isnt possible.

Sea Harrier FA2 is probably only 2 maybe 4 if you only want AMRAAM
Av-8B+ is 4
Tornado F3 is 4
Gripen C is 4
F-15C is 8
Su-27 is 8

Yep… At least we should be really strong in EC8/9 in the Tornado F3 for now. Until they innevetiably raise the Tornado F3 to 12.0 because the Mig-23MLDs complain

Maybe they mean just a same amount of FOX-3 per plane at top tier not including FOX-2 loadouts

It’s nearly time gajin might consider Python 4 on F-16D Block 40 Barak II again after this month because expanded to 12.7 BR

I don’t worry infrared Air-to-Air Missile with IRCCM & very good maneuvrability for Israel but guess currently F-16D Block 40 lack GPS/INS guidance munitions

Italian F-16A Block 15 ADF & F-16A Block 20 MLU (ROCAF) could get early AIM-120C like F-16C Block 50 (USAF)

Unsure USAF F-16A Block 15 ADF received active radar homing MRAAM AIM-120A AMRAAM ?

I guess gajin might consider JAS39C Gripen (Early) with PS-05/A Mk.3 radar this quarter like SAAF JAS39C Gripen but swedish fired Rb.99

At least MiG-29SMT received R-77 replace R-27R/R-27T this year but not sure on Yak-141

I had a hunch that gajin add new fighter aircraft toptier with active radar homing MRAAM for japan tech tree after USA, Israel, Germany, Russia & sweden

Gripen C MS.20 standard or JAS39C Gripen late with PS-05/A Mk.4 radar, Rafael Litening III, GBU-39 SDB, Meteor and might received AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM

Ya. I don’t see them added to France.

Sub-tree up to this point have been centered around the ground side since they started.

And with France ground having 5 lines in means they are full and can’t take a sub-tree with how they work right now.

The J-8F is still limited to two MRAAM 's as the previous models were afaik.

Yak41 is 4 i think
and instead of adding the F15c they give fox to the F16C and Mig29SMT
that would at least fix the amount or just give f/a18s to everyone else

But that would still give them an absolutely massive airframe advantage over other nations again.

Dodging an AMRAAM in Sea Harrier is probbaly going to be quite hard, dodging one in an F-16C is probably going to be really easy

Hell dodging one in a tornado will probably be nigh impossible if its closer than 100km lol.
