Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Jesus mary and joseph that is a floating bruh moment if ever I saw one

looks like an Age of sail navy tried to cheap their way into modernity

It was a pretty big bruh moment for its crew when it went into battle.

If i remember correctly it was effectively impenetrable, but it nonetheless crashed instead.

Those 2 are less likely for this update, but you never know. Its more things like F4F-Ice for Germany and AV-8B+ for the US which are more surprising

WT players will make a reason to cope if they got none

Dunno, it’s not impossible they’re going to give them to “low performance” platforms to see how they cope in game.

And I mean, it wouldn’t be unheard of for leakers to just not say while giving a good idea of what the broad picture will be. We know with a high degree of confidence that we’re getting some sort of ARH this patch, just in what form remains to be seen.

Ok since it’s quiet now, from tomorrow we won’t mention the Canadian Leo at all until the blog.

As all of us are now getting to the point where we want to get this over with.

Fox3s for all was said all the way back in J-8F devblog about a year ago
I personally think some nations will not get new planes, rather the existing ones will get missiles like F-16C and 29SMT
Germany actually needs ICE in order to get AMRAAMs

Its an 1880s design so thats pretty much exactly what it was.

USSR fleet had its own battles mainly defensive, in the Black, Nothern and Baltic Sea, maybe there were no big naval clashes, but the contribution of the Navy in the defense of Soviet cities is undeniable.

It would make sense

Alternatively (I’m aware this is unrealistic) there could be matchamking that prohibits non ARH aircraft from seeing ARH equipped aircraft. So only people at the top rank have access to aircraft with ARH missiles and therefore you just end up with Clones of aircraft we have ingame with said missiles.

That would be wise and fair decision… But we all know that won’t happen

it was said in the J8F blog

then declined by Smin as most nations may get Fox 3 in December
that then got supported by the December RU stream which said Expect Fox 3 for most nations in the March or June update, that it’ll be june was confirmed again in the March update

someone then said that it’ll be for all nations, which implies that F4F-ICE HAS to be added this update if Fox 3 will actually come for all trees

however for my mental wellbeing I don’t trust it and I will not expect an F4F-ICE now even tho I really would like to fly it

I’m exaggerating a lot. To be fair to the Russian Navy they certainly had a presence in the Arctic Convoys, especially PQ17 where they rescued what remained of the convoy.

God I really really don’t want to fight AIM-120Bs in my Harrier GR.7…

F-15s and Su-27s aren’t getting AARHs next major update. Zero, none.
You can claim this a rumor, but it’s so painfully obvious that people would need density higher than tungsten to think they would.

On that note:

the men of Osmium will belive so!

looks like MiG planned it

I mean I wouldn’t say these are more suprising. The F-4F ICE is the only real German domestic option for fox 3 and the AV-8B+ is an easy copy and paste of an airframe already in game for 6-12 months.
