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

Instead of the f2 lol

Imagine they don’t add Grifo (it’s literally just the Italian Sky Sabre)

It has upgraded hull armor (just like the SEP and SEPv2, but Gaijin cannot deny it this time due to extremely clear wording).

If only it was Montana…

In all fairness though the T-50 if true would my go to thing in this list, but I know it won’t be that

What br would the t50 even be as it has some pretty good weapons… aim9x irsts python 5 shit tons of bombs

Tho youd really think gaijin would not add the f2 again knowing how requested it was

Given it would only have L and M’s, I say 10.7 to 11.3 ish

Ms at 10.7 is wild my fella

So 11.3 to 12.0 then

I’m not an expert by any means but from reading the Wikipedia specs sheet the T50 seems pretty comparable to Gripen. They have similar thrust, weight, and rate of climb. Top speed is worse. No idea how the turn performance is, since the T50 is a twin seat trainer it’s probably not as good.

7 hardpoints, one of them is for gunpod. Gaijin can probably decide to give either 9L or 9M depending on what BR they’re aiming for. It could be anywhere from 12.0 to 12.7 depending on flight model I imagine

F-5TH gets IRIS-T and Python-5, their F-16A (e)MLU also gets IRIS-T.

Yeh but uh the thai version seems to be the lowest version lol

In which in it self can replace the F-16AJ since that’s at 12.7 itself

Yep! F-16AJ’s probably scheduled to be R2Y2’d at some point

I’d take any T50 as long as it can fire, I’m not picky :)

It was one of my reasons to get it in which resulted in me being able to get the F-2 on launch which will be a first lol

The Wiki article about T-50 / FA-50 confuses and mixes lot of things up. Gernally the armament of either is not too great.

Fun fact; Philippine FA-50PH has been equipped AIM-9B for quite some time, until replaced by AIM-9L/i.
