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

But how can we scare them if they don’t exist yet 😉 .

yup

They don’t have 234 “in service”, they have that many on order.

At the moment they have 180 (but going by wikipedia actually less than that, 102 for the airforce and 46 for the navy, of which only 41 are actully “active”), so “lowballing it” they’ve 90 jets ready for action (or ~71) ;)

The USA already have mid 2000s upgrades of F-15 and F-16 in game. Other nations just had a different timeline than the US. By the time the US made the F-22 as a 5th Gen other nations were making advanced 4th Gen Fighters or just starting to upgrade their domestic 4th Gen to 4.5th Gen.

Hmmm, cross referencing this leak with Gzasbi’s, the unknown naval leak in gzasbi’s probably the british one from this one, as both are 8 chars long, (ignoring the brackets at the end)

The rumor ends with the wise. Lavi’s wing layout is completely different from J10, and each layout requires a lot of wind tunnel experiments, so it has no reference value for the design of J10

☝🤓

The Lavi has a layout of “close coupled canard wing+swept wing+pitot tube inlet”, while the J10 has a layout of “mid-range coupled canard wing+delta wing+supersonic rectangular inlet”. The two are fundamentally different

wtf is the FFA-P16

I’m not saying it is. I think Tranche 1 Eurofighter with AIM-9s and AMRAAMs could be fine.
I just think it’s not comparable to a F-18. Maybe close to a Super Hornet but that’s another thing

This, but it’s just a guess. Would fit aswell

As you can see in the Wikipedia link it could not.
FFA P-16 does not fit XXX-XXX

There are more names wrong in warthunder. I just guessed it because the F-18 is just unlikely. This would at least partially fit.

So there’s a chance that South Korean vehicles will end up in the Japan TT, among others?

Isn’t this something Gaijin has been avoiding for years?

Will be interesting to see how the playerbase from the respective SEA nations react to this, considering their problematic history with Japan.

Yea they could name it the FFA P-16C or something instead of Mk.
