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

I’m glad you clarified, I was going to ask haha.

What about its weapons however? That seems to be our big trouble lately going forward.

the info is just on performance i don’t think their is much on Meteor or ASRAAM or IRIS-T

But the early EFTs can have AIM-9L(i) and AMRAAMS

Great, so the EFT gonna be superior in every capability against the Rafale in WT i guess x))

Well early EFTs won’t have air to ground or good air to ground

im assuming the first Rafales will but i don’t know much about it

Germany better get copies too lol. Tired of Ger using the across the wall aircraft. I want the F-4 ICE with IRIS-T also 😎

  • Id buy another F-4 if they added the ICE with all its weapons to make it competitive.

Rafales was made from the start as a multi-role plane, so if first variants come without any ground capability, there is a big problem.

Hope to see them coming in WT with the 3 family (C/B/M) from start, would add different visual/gameplay from the start ^^

Ah ok good to know

so how i see it early Rafales advantage over early early EFTs is better air to ground and PESA

You hoping for too much i suspect they will only add one

I think at the end of the day both planes are really close.

Some years, Rafale Upgrade make it overall superior (Swiss 2008 test, even for Air combat it was classed superior to EF), next years EF upgrade make it superiors etc…

At the end of the day i don’t think we can find modern plane that are that close in capabilities.

Really cool if an “European Canard” named upgrade happen and bring them all togethers.

Non sensical only if they get the physics wrong. AIM-9X’s for example prob have a lot of classified specs but from what is available, it looks quite arcadey. Prob the same with more modern jets.

That’s my point. They won’t have documents to get the specs right, they will have estimates. Wait until those estimates are modern Russian weapons? Imagine when we have R37Ms being used.

Well, ARH possibly next update gonna be a lot of this ^^

Iris-t will be “kill” button for any plane in 10km range.

it does that every once in a while

Remember when R-60 were first added, and then made useless later

then again when when R-60M were introduced, and then nerfed to the ground

same thing happened when AiM-9L were added to many fighters

and then when good Sparrows were added

Fox 3 isn’t diffrent, it’ll be OP for half a year and then they’ll be useless and overshadowd by whatever comes next

There’s data on technical values but not too much is wholly declassified, most is anecdotal. But i’ve been looking into the French side of WT and there’s lots of bug reports and documents prepped for that sort of thing.

Still I’d worry for the FM.

That may be an issue, I could see something like it being based off the M4K, for the EF they can use the attainable values from the not to be mentioned British mini-Typhoon.

Will the next event vehicle be revealed this week?

Iirc it’s normal a week between the event announcement to the start of the event
