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

It’s overall build % is only relevant for making a suggestion for the aircraft. (I made the original suggestion for the G10N 10 years ago :))

For the game however, there are no current plans to introduce this aircraft.

Perhaps in the future. But not for now at least.

It’s sad, but at least there’s hope to see the Kawasaki Ki-91 (キ-91)

Roughly how much range and speed does the Penguin have?

are AIM-9L/1s just normal AIM-9Ls or are they the ones with IRCCM that are on some other aircraft?

apparently upwards of 55km from fixed wing aircraft

Do you have an idea of how much it would effectively have in game?

Well… we still dont have Ki-48’s and G3M’s in the TT. We havent gotten any WWII aircraft for Japan in the last 4 years.
Gaijin does doesnt care about Japan as shown with the fully C&P sub-TT, which could have been added 2-3 years ago.
Yet they decided to let Japan suffer for years just because they dont care.
Yes, i would like to see more Japanese WWII vehicles, a lot of people want that, yet we dont get anything.

They are still missing WWII CAS designated aircraft, heavy tanks above rank III, heavy bombers, super props, trainer aircraft, better torpedo destroyers (better then the Shimakaze), etc…

It’ll be limited to 20km realistically given that that is the upper limit on targeting, but that’s for anti ship use, against ground targets I imagine you’ll have a hard time locking at that range, think of it like a really big Maverick

Wdym better than shimakaze?

So an AGM-65A/B with a massive payload and an IR seeker, basically.

That’s all I need to throw it around in test drive so I’m happy

We still don’t even have the late G4Ms…(

Seems likely, it’ll go faster too, though tbh I’m not too familiar with the missile, it may end up being way better, closer to the KH-38, we’ll just have to wait and see

It’s subsonic IIRC

If they really like Japan, they put this in the TT.
The Japanese Navy ingame gets the worst ships of WWII.

Like… where is the Takao class?

yeah, high subsonic but it maintains that speed unlike the Maverick, it’s also sea skimming so I’m not sure how that will work on ground maps, could be interesting if it hugged terrain and popped up at the last minute, would make it very hard to see coming, but could also create some tracking issues.

In terms of actually completed dreadnoughts and battlecruisers only hiei and nagato are missing, and japan has 8 or 9 capital ships that are capable of fighting at top tier
