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

Again you have to cope because the leaks suggest a F-5E and the F/A-18 from the Swiss to Germany.

Which means a Swiss sub is now more likely than ever for Germany

Whenever its 12.7 max I went in to the mig alley. Somehow even though 75% of the team has a positive KD against players and everyone is positive, we still lose every game. Well, quick scores, wont complain.

Mhm, sure it is buddy.

Closer to 2 years, now… which is crazy to think about

Man I wish, but I figured if the F-2 ever shows up on a list, it won’t be hidden. Stuff like this generates hype/discussion and since it’s one of the most anticipated aircraft that could be added anytime now, I’d bet it’d be on the first list if it’s coming.

I hope this December…

I just want to add that, they could add the later one with ARH AAM-4 too since we have that already. I’ve been doing some testing (to which I’d like if others can also test to confirm/deny) and it seems that AESA won’t affect ARH missile meta at all.

Why? Well basically the missiles have a priority order:

  • TRK (when missile’s own radar can lock onto target)
  • DL (datalink from launch aircraft)
  • IOG (inertial guidance)

So basically, the missile will rely on IOG unless it has DL, and will rely on DL unless it has its own lock. This by itself means as soon as the missile hits < 16km it will be a regular PD radar since it will ignore DL. But here’s the extra kicker, it seems that once a missile switches to TRK, even if it loses lock, it will never use DL again and will go back to IOG.

This means that unless the missile just never switches to TRK (impossible as it will easily lock onto chaff or anything in the area), it will disable DL and completely rely on its own radar and IOG.

Now I don’t know if this is a bug or a gameplay decision or how it’s supposed to be (to why it never switches back to DL), but as it stands now, we should skip right to the F-2 late which would also give us ability to CAS like other top tier nations thanks to JDAMs and sniper pod.

If that one does come then it would most likely be squadron if I understood Smin correctly since the Swiss never brought it.

I mean it could be NAA P-51B lol at a push, I’m looking for similar aircraft what would fit.

EFW F-20 could be another, FFA P-16 too, oh and the EKW C-35

Those are the only ones with the - that not a F/A-18, though looking at it I could totally fee the FFA P-16 coming

Liquid copium right there, maybe one day
