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

@oom1992

Su-33 fill gap between Yak-38M & Yak-141 ?

More like fills the gap, and MiG-29K (early, Soviet version) before it, and MiG-29K (RuF version) after it.

@Ruskie_Turtles

I’m hoping they drop hornet and let the aim120 spam begin full force.

No way that they add the F-18 with 120’s and not add an equal amount of Fox-3’s for everyone else.

@Motherhen357

More likely to be after the Su-27.

Nah, not capable of Fox-3’s. Going to be Su-30, Su-30M, or Su-27SM.

@Cpt_Bel_V

This exist, it’s called: using a fighter in your 10 vehiucle lineup ^^"

Okay, so better SPAA OR Gaijin adds some sort of supersonic/fast-subsonic plane with limited countermeasures, and radar missiles/good IR missiles so that you can actually reach the plane in some respectable amount of time, and then reliable have a good chance of killing it, EDIT: at 9.7 to 10.0, for every nation.

Long live the British Empire

I need my ultimate battleship

Spoiler

[AWACS Ghost Eye]

I have 250+ British vehicles with fully researched ground air heli and 50% naval. It is mostly britbong energy that you know, made me go this far

[oom1992]

@Morvran

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

Except Sukhoi Su-27SM, Shenyang J-11A MLU and Sukhoi Su-30M & Su-30M2 armed 6 R-77 only

AV-8B+ Harrier II (Early) from USMC copy paste from Italian Navy AV-8B+

And JAS39A Gripen carries 4 Rb.99 max like JAS39C Gripen ?

@Shin_Kazama

I genuinely don’t think the F-15As are gonna get AMRAAMs. F-15J might, though

Gajin might consider USAF F-15C with AN/APG-70 radar or AN/APG-63(V)1 radar ?

I guess Israel could get F-15C Baz Meshupar from 1999 with AN/APG-63 PSP radar, IR AAM AIM-9L/Python 3/Python 4 and MRAAM (SARH) AIM-7M & (ARH) AIM-120B but none GPS/INS guidance munitions

[Morvran]

@oom1992

JAS39A

Doubt it. Will remain AMRAAM-less as they have the Gripen C option

[PestoMystic]

@oom1992

Except Sukhoi Su-27SM, Shenyang J-11A MLU and Sukhoi Su-30M & Su-30M2 armed 6 R-77 only

Do you have a source, because best I can tell, there’s a faulty pylon chart out there, and there should be capacity for 10xR-77’s and 2xR-73’s.

[Mytho-GR1]

@PestoMystic

No way that they add the F-18 with 120’s and not add an equal amount of Fox-3’s for everyone else

Maybe they could limit it

[Miraz05]

Yeah that could happen

IF you knew how to fly, it would be easy to do with CURRENT aircrafts fighter type.

The last question of the Hotline

@Morvran

@oom1992

JAS39A

I hope gajin not lazy and changed to 3rd generation targeting pod Rafael Litening III instead Litening II on SAAF JAS39C Gripen the first major update

I guess gajin add JAS39C Gripen Early with PS-05/A Mk.3 radar for sweden tech tree and like JAS39C Gripen from SAAF but swedish Gripen fired Rb.99 (AIM-120B)

[PestoMystic]

@Mytho61734

Depends on radar too to be honest. How good is the early Hornet radar? We already have the radar in game in some of the Harriers, right?

Same answer for the Sukhoi fox-3 carrier they implement, it will depend on how well the upgraded N001 works on the new Sukhoi. If it’s hardly any better than the current N001, then I don’t think it matters, I’ll probably mostly take R-27ER’s at that rate anyways. Now if they implement multiple target tracking and launch, the N001M should be able to go after two aircraft at once, and then maybe I’m back to a large R-77 loadout as the game permits. For the record, the Su-27 should be able to get a better historical radar performance than the 9.13, yet it struggles the most of the last three top tier planes released for USSR.

@Cpt_Bel_V

I do know how to fly it. Did you ever stop to think maybe I was referring to other people? I know how to kill it, which is why I’m describing the best way to do it…

[Morvran]

@PestoMystic

F-18A/B radar i think. Not the later C variants with the larger missile pool (if I understand correctly, that could be wrong)

[oom1992]

@Shin_Kazama

Probably the next big step, which I don’t see happening the update immediately after we first got the F-15s in game. I could see this happening probably by June, however.

I feel like March is gonna either add the F/A-18A (no AMRAAM) or AV-8B+ for the US

I might hope gajin consider AV-8B Night Attack before AV-8B Plus Early for USA tech tree after A-7E at rank 8

F/A-18A CAS & ground attack better F-14B Tomcat but not sure F/A-18A could be 12.0 or 12.3 BR

@Shin_Kazama

Oh god, that’d be pure evil

(I am manifesting squadron vehicle A-4M with 9Ls lol)

(Or better yet: A-4M early with 9G/9H as squad vehicle, A-4M late with 9L in TT)

A-4M Early not bad squadron vehicle or event vehicle or premium GE at rank 6

I guess A-4M late would be 10.0 or 10.3 but not sure could add to rank VI or rank VII

[ID_Heaven]

And leave USA without attackers?

[Tachikaze1]

the A10 and A7 arent real i guess

[ID_Heaven]

Doesn’t have LGBU.

[Tachikaze1]

But they do have Wall eye’s or GBU-8s on the A7 variants and the A-10 has AGM 65B iirc

[Morvran]

F-16 and F-14B mustnt be real eitehr

[Tachikaze1]

America has alot of CAS potential for GRB already, either through dedicated platforms (ie A-10/A7) or At higher tiers Multiroles like the F14,F15,F16

[Shin_Kazama]

AGM-65D on TT A-10A, and we’re probs gonna see an A-10C sooner or later (with a LOT of good stuff)
