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

Legit

V4 is most likely dead now as Hungary and Romania are trapped in Italy, and if the L-39 solidifies Czechoslovakia into the USSR, that leaves Poland. Even if you slapped Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia and the Baltics together with Poland, there will still be gaps (and the other nations wouldn’t be able to stand on thier own either).

Without Switzerland, Austria can’t stand on its own.

Most ME, CIS, African and ASEAN nations lack an extensive air tree with enough indigenous aircraft/mods.

That leaves a generalised Latin American and Yugoslavia tree left, which I have little hope for (shame because they are both very cool trees)

it definitively needs to get the HMD removed, because that’s where the issue started, they used a testbed something they normally wont do in any condition, and flight performance i can see some buffs but some of the other buffs are absolutely absurd

Kinda, the US doesn’t allow other countries to integrate weapons by themselves (except Israel). In the same vein, the US could get Meteor, which it never used.

If they tested them for themselves I would be fine with it, but if they’re only integrating them on behalf of an export customer, I don’t think they should get them.

I mean tech can still be moved remember Israel, but yeah I get what you mean

The main thing is thrust at higher speeds, and the fact that the Rafale isn’t G-limited past mach 1 like every other high tier jet in the game is.

They generally do for all F-15 integrations do the flight testing genius. They just don’t fund it.

But that’s not the standard that everyone else gets to operate by. So why the double standard, hmm?

Reading comprehension much?

What I mean is if they tested them because they intended/considered using the weapon themselves not because someone else wants to use them.

I meant more along the lines of 5th / 6th gen, where China probably has the most unique aircraft any nation has (alongside the US that is)

The HMD is adopted into service just only on Rafale F4

yeah for some reason they got a doc wich was not even primary source about supossedly being able to do this

i think A6E SWIP is done but they still dont know how to release it since it has 9Ms irl
A6E SWIP model isnt very different from the TRAM one

You asked about the Us specifically. Also, you should lay of the passive aggression, you seem a bit over invested.

Ahh ok. I knew it was for the F4 and it was ordered in 2021. However wasn’t sure if it was in use yet

And you still haven’t answered the question, why the double standard.

That tends to happen when dealing with people that are full of it

yea misread your comment, mb

Because you didn’t even ask about other nations, so why do think to know my opinion on other nations? (And don’t think I didn’t see you edit out that insult)

Wdym by they normally wont do in any condition? It should be noted that Gripen A, Yak-141, and Mirage 2000-5F all have HMD due to having “tested” it. This is a standard that Gaijin has set prior to Rafale’s introduction into the game. Further, Rafale’s have been tested for multiple HMDs throughout the years.

The lack of leaks regarding an italian, UK and US SPAA are starting to worry me. I don’t even play those trees, but that’s beating a dead horse at this point

Well it’s pretty simple. Do you support the Swiss F-18s getting A2G ordnance they never did, or the EFs all sharing ordnance amongst each other.

And I only did because the forum is soft and it was going to have to get changed at some point anyway.

Yes, it’s currently in use and there’s pictures now which has been used for bug reports.
