Unless that pre order has ARH missiles or is part of a tree they want to tease in the teaser first.

The plane can use RVV-AE, R-27R1 and R-73.
We’re really looking at a plane with no engine upgrades though.
MiG-21bis will be really rough at higher BR.
Without R-77s, it’s an asymmetrical equivalent of the F-20, with it having worse flight performance, but better weaponry.
Leaked Indian Bison can also carry R-77 right?
No engine upgrade makes me actually believe they’ll add it (with R-77’s). I also think they’ll give the F-20A AMRAAMS.
Bison (MiG-21bis engine + better radar )+ R-77 and R-73
Vs
F-20 (F-5 with F-18 engine + better radar) + AIM-120 and AIM-9L
Kinda makes sense. Rank 7 has bigger performance discrepancies in their premiums. Here I’d say many would choose the R-73’s and Bis engine over the better engine with 9L’s.
That and the MiG-21-93 coming next update makes sense if the former is a premium, yeah. Maybe Israel will get the MiG-21 2000 as a premium, also.
Israel is indeed a strong contender for an advanced 21. But they also have advanced Kfirs that would work.
Sweden has Draakens on two levels as premiums, Israel might get Kfirs on two levels. 21 or Kfir, both can be really cool.
Since the MiG-21 Bison, -93, and 2000 are quite similar, adding them all together makes sense, but the Kfir C.10 is also possible.
Yeah. Veeeery possible we’re gonna see a large batch of premiums coming like we did when rank 7s initially came.
Also possible they go with a different marketing strat of doing 1 or 2 per patch (despite having them ready already) so people can regularly buy every patch. That is my spending habbit, others might have a similar spending habbit.
Only thing I have to back that up is a single rank 8 premium came last patch and presumably one on the leaklist so bit of a wild guess.
That’s how it seems to be happening with ground, also.
Oh boy… That’s gonna be interesting to say the least.
10 ARH premiums would be wild.
Not all nations can get one that wouldn’t be top BR.
As far as I know, America, Britain, Sweden, Israel, Russia, Germany, and maybe China can get one, but Japan, Italy, and France can’t.
That sounds like nightmare to fight against.
Interesting, haven’t followed ground much but that reinforces my theory.
It would balamce things because if just USA and UK have them then they would be the spammiest spamraam nations in br 11.0-12.7 matches.

Sus
Maybe the real Devblog was the friends we made along the way
Nooooo :(
