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

[Kir]

Idk about how much before, but they do usually show up in the playlist as an unlisted video beforehand. The playlist is currently at 12 unlisted videos if viewed in the browser

so like… just after we got them…

Waiting trailer

[dotSHINI]

i mean used is used

[Pvt_Wade]

why C-6 exactly?

[someweirdname]

eh

[AIM-120C6_AMRAAM]

Because C5 is already taken

[someweirdname]

and C8 was too cool for you?

[AIM-120C6_AMRAAM]

yes

[Morvran]

Actually warns you about some top tier SAMs like ADATS with radar off and has saved me from a KA-52 in GSB.

Also with Prox fuse Brimstone 2s, would give us a defence the other typhoons wouldn’t have against them

come on smin, come on

tomorrow is the most likely day anyways

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

Time to apply to myself the wise words;

[joshje100]

@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to bother you on this again but I have made reports for these but just out of curiosity what exactly constitutes as “F-4 late modifications”? I am assuming it means F-4’s with digital HUDs like the F-4S/EJ Kai/Kurnass 2000 but would the F-4F ICE also fall into this category considering it is quite literally a late modification?

[Smin1080p_WT]

Im not sure in what context were are referring to here?

[joshje100]

Oh sorry I was talking about this

@joshje100

Back during Storm Warning the changelog said that many aircraft got radar tracked target markers added to them and amongst the listed was the J35XS and F-4 late modifications, but there actually isn’t any marker added to their HUDs. Was it just a typo or is something broken with them?

@Stona_WT

A radar tracked target marker has been added to several HUDs. If the target is outside the HUD viewing zone (Target Locator Line), the target marker will remain at the edge of the HUD viewing zones and blink, indicating the direction to the target. Indication has been added for the following aircraft (as well as aircraft using similar HUDs): Su-27, MiG-29, Yak-141, F-16, F-15, F-14, F-20, F-5, Su-34, Mirage 2000/4000/F1, Super Etendard, J-8F, F-4 late modifications, J35XS, JA37.

@Smin1080p_WT

They were marked on the list, so should have been part of it. Therefor if its not present, a new report can be made.

The radar target lock boxes were said to have been added during Storm Warning for F-4 late modifications and the J35XS but were never present on release.

[Kir]

Against vikhrs it’s pretty useful, didn’t think about that. But I have a feeling it’s gonna become rather useless against SAMs pretty soon, now that they’re adding IR FnF SAMs. (Obviously it’s still gonna be relevant until everyone has an IR/RF SAM, but i don’t think that’s gonna be that long a time)

[Morvran]

If they are relatively short range pitbull and can be guided via IRST or something until then instead of radar then they might be of some use. But yes, for the large part its a niche defence for now. But still nice to have

(Also things like 2S38 I think should trigger it but dont because… reasons)

[DevilO6]

Just wait untill all systems that use laser to determine range start pinging it.

[Morvran]

Yeah, its annoying that systems like the Stormer that shouldnt trigger it do, but some like IRST on the Rafale and Su-30 right? Should but dont
