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

I need to correct you here, there is 10 of them. I made the first 9, while the 10th one was made by mortals. It’s called War Thunder, and you are all in it.

Anything interesting happen the past 2-3 days, not really been looking?

J11B and J10B both are on the table for China right now. I personally want both, but I feel like they’ll add J10B.

As for Japan, F-2 is literally the only option, no?

Yes, AAM-4B has AESA seeker on the missile, but AAM-4 always uses combined datalink and missile seeker guidance up until impact (at least in reality, in game this feature is missing).

This means that on the F-2 with its J/ARG-1 AESA radar the AAM-4 will always have AESA radar tracking, so long as the aircraft has a lock on the target.

Reliable leaker changed profile pic to an image of a hornet’s eye.

Gszabi confirms that the update is cooking.

Last year’s March update started dev blogs in the third full week of February, so we’ll start seeing them (and potentially leaks) next week most likely.

Nothing huge, but things are probably about to get interesting next week.

CATTB has a manned turret. Your thinking kf the TTB which has an unmanned one

would make more sense for j11B to come instead, on top of this they could give it chinese fnf missile like kd88

If there’s any premium with it I have probably test driven them

I doubt they are as bad irl as in game though. If they are that widespread surely they do something really well

They probably don’t try to destroy MBTs with those IRL

They are put on a lot of IFV made for frontline combat against Russian forces, and have APFSDS so I’d say that they were made with destroying tanks in mind

the darts on the autocannons are primarily meant to combat light enemy armor, stuff like enemy APC’s and IFV’s that have stuff like applique or reactive armor. It has the potential capability to penetrate MBT’s but they arent designed to.

Most of the ammunition they have for these guns is meant to be used against lightly armored or unarmored targets like trucks, personnel or other IFVs.
The main reason they even have APFSDS for it is that the gun uses the same ammo as the GAU-8. The main use-case for those rounds would be against boats and better armored IFVs/APCs.

Idk what you mean by this since the A-10 doesn’t use APFSDS
