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

Yes… So that would include new trees.

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:21am

Mr Fahrenheit, here.

PestoMystic · January 31, 2024, 1:21am

Okay, but that’s separate to the general direction the roadmap has taken on.

The speculation is cool and all, but I very much doubt we see a new nation until after the summer period is over.

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:21am

So do you have a problem with it or not?

Deathmisser · January 31, 2024, 1:21am

I just had too lol

StormRyder13 · January 31, 2024, 1:21am

But aren’t they coming to all nations at the same time? So why start a new one if you can get them in the one you are grinding now?

Morvran · January 31, 2024, 1:23am

Im still not entirely convinced they will be coming to ALL nations at the same time, just as many as possible.

But yeah, but if it was a nation you wanted to play, but it had a DOA top tier, you might hold off for a few updates. Thats all.

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:24am

I wouldn’t be surprised if France doesn’t get them due to MICA EMs being quite a bit better than R-77s and AIM-120A/Bs.

Morvran · January 31, 2024, 1:24am

Japan as well. Unless something like the XF-2 comes.

Michael-IR · January 31, 2024, 1:26am

I expect them to start with AIM-120C-5 so MICA, PL-12 and other similar missiles could be introduced.

Morvran · January 31, 2024, 1:27am

That is the other option, though F4F ICE and Sea Harrier FA2 only used Aim-120Bs, so Unless they were a lot lower

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:27am

I’m guessing that later ones will be added on third gen and underperforming fourth gen aircraft (where possible), with well performing fourth gens getting early ones.

Michael-IR · January 31, 2024, 1:27am

I mean at least FA2 could be at 12.0 with its missile count and FM

Morvran · January 31, 2024, 1:28am

Hopefully. Though Blue Vixen + Aim-120B is going to get a lot of complaints at 12.0.

Michael-IR · January 31, 2024, 1:30am

Not possible and also a bad idea considering that these 3++ gens wouldn’t be the only FOX 3 platforms for some nations (Germany and UK can get Hornets, China - Mirage 2000-5, Italy F-16ADF or JAS39C, etc)

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:31am

Tis very much possible, actually.

Michael-IR · January 31, 2024, 1:31am

Idk why people keep bringing plane radars into FOX3 reality. Good radar doesn’t matter when the one guiding the missile is the missile itself.

Shay · January 31, 2024, 1:32am

It’s only able to guide itself within pitbull range, so the aircrafts radar very much matters.

Michael-IR · January 31, 2024, 1:33am

Germany, Italy, Sweden, ~~China~~, Japan, France and Israel can’t use AIM-120C-5 level of missiles on their 3rd gen platforms

Morvran · January 31, 2024, 1:33am

It matters if it has DL and more than 10km or so out iirc
