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

50Gs on Aster 30, seems we will only get Block 0 missile. Perfectly fine by me as it will still be great, barring fake 60 meter multipath

Left line are all single seaters and then topping it off with a two seater is odd
Right most line has F-15I as top tier so… (But top tier is two seaters, both F-16D B40 and F-15I)
F-16D B40 → F-15I → F-16I
Or
F-16D B40 → F-16I → F-15I

In heli vs heli combat, the 2 key ingredients are a FNF missile and more range than the enemy’s FNFN missile

Can the 64E bring a full set of 16 SPIKE NLOS?

Gaijin should give the F-16D and the upcoming F-16I the strike role

Spoiler

Also, the Tornado IDS/GR variants should be bombers instead of strike planes

The F-35I will likely follow the F-16C, so I agree, the Sufa in that line is odd considering the opposing mission spec of the two aircraft (imahining the sufa is an end of the line vehicle)

exactly what i’m doing currently, only playing Israel for the later/more versions of US vehicles that gaijin refuses to put in the US tech tree, like the A-4M that’s been sitting in the files for the US for years

however the Israel grind has proven to be more painful than initially expected

Would be nice to get the ability russians have to spawn a fighter and strike variant with fire and forget A-G oridinance

Brimstone 2 features two significant upgrades over 1. The guidance system has been greatly improved against “challenging targets” (for example, those that are obscured or seen at odd angles) and a new Roxel rocket motor increase range by “more than 200%” with ranges reported as 40 km from helicopters and 60 km from aircraft. Range for ground launch should be similar to a helicopter.

We don’t even know if the AH-64E, Mi-28NM and Z-10 will end up being better than the rest lol. We have hardly gotten any details on them.

Thank god it looks like we are getting CAMM-ER. Means we might have a usable SAM

And an interesting sounding low BR destroyer.

Though it’s annoying the Rafale is becoming a 15.0 jet before the typhoon even gets game breaking bugs fixed but I guess we’ll have to wait for the patch notes

Hopefully Britain also gets the AH-64E

16km would be primarily from the limited launch range of the platform itself. Longbow radar improvements allege 16km over the previous 8km range.

@TyphoonCro
Seat count never mattered, it’s purely a coincidence of their “place multirole vehicles where they can” system.
F-15I is part of the Strike Eagle program, and Baz Meshupar already exists so placing it in the bomber-strike line was an option.
Back when F-16D only had 9Ms placing it in the strike-bomber line also made sense when the previous strike aircraft was 10.0 while the other line had Kfir C7 and Netz.

Now that the strike aircraft line is the one that’s saturated and the light fighter line isn’t… another F-16 can go in the light fighter line.

Shouldn’t we be asking for the Wildcat?

We need Storm Shadow/SCALP now since KH-38 is becoming a literal cruise missile

You will get Indian AH 64E

Did I read this convo right?

The Ram I doesn’t belong in the UK tree, despite that being the only tree it fits?

Would enjoy that and maybe even prefer that but C&P is easier for Gaijin

AH-64E should be able to deflect them.

Yeah, would be good. Or SPEAR-3s

It’s in todays leak as being after the C

Obviously nothing official until we see the dev server but pretty certain this is going to be what they choose
