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

Who will win?

Hundreds of years of the collective aeronautical achievement of dozens of nations?

Or?

The Lockheed-Martin “kickback incentive?”

The proper EFT is only beaten by the F22 but not by much

im not too worried about the performance of the EFT when it comes to the game as people have info on its performance

Yugoslavia and Iran would be awesome.

I will keep pounding the drum about how viable Iran is

I don’t think EF gonna bring a fire, all 4 user/developper gonna be happy to have it.

Only problem would be some other nation getting it because strange links (those who happen a lot recently) used by Gaijin.

Not the same problem as F-35 for 80/90%+ of the nations ingame

The issue is the EFT and Rafale are gonna be much better then what USA and USSR has at that gonna cause alot of moaning

For the Rafale, since it’s French, it’s gonna enter the game totally broken, full of bug and far from it’s real capability, as usual.
For the EF, Gaijin probably gonna add a more powerfull things to USA/Russia for balancing it to the ground.

Is their any info anyone has on its performance

That would really help you guys

As for every modern jet i think real capability/number/stats are classified.

Modern time in WT gonna be a time of horrible stats/guess, and impossible for us (probably everybody) to report a big number of things Gaijin gonna do. That’s where bias gonna happen a lot.

(already the case for the Leclercs, they use mainly datas from Sweden trial, where a proto leclerc was send, not even the first batch of S1, so i’m somewhat terrified of what they gonna do with the Rafale)

Yeah, I think we need the technology from 30+ years ago polished before we even think of modern vehicles. DCS has handled this well, and I think it’s a decent roadmap for War Thunder going forward.

Well, EF/Rafale first flights was in the 90s, they are in the 30+ years ago stuff :p

It’s the + sign part 😂. 30 bold +. I would totally love to see the newer aircraft, like “GimME mY F TwENY TwO!”. I just feel like this game will devolve into a nonsensical arcade shooter if we start getting too far ahead.

See with the EFT im not worried as people do have info on it surprisingly enough

Declassified info just so people are sure

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
