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

140km according to xray

code says 120/140 for “Transciever Range” and 150/170 for “Maximum Transciever range”

though stupidly it has a Max lock range of 200km, hilarious

After the planned tech tree changes with rank 9, will italy be getting any more vehicles/subtrees to help fill their rank 8? It is about to have only 4 options, less than sweden.

Well… even better then, right? Shorter grind to the top.

Considering we are getting Hungarian lower tiers, I doubt Italy would have any other new planes the same update.
For rank 8 I’m waiting for M-346FA, would be a crazy thing, transsonic with extremely powerful weapons, plus Romanian LanceR C, should be rank 8 worth (but Gaijin should overcome its barrier to add Romanian unique stuff beyond premium and events).

Spoiler

There could be also IT-ECR Tornadoes (EA-200B/D), but there is no sign of ARMs.
And there can also be a better interceptor stick - F-104S.ASA-M with AIM-9L/I-1, not sure if it’s rank 7 or 8 material.

technically, all the other F-15’s have been used by USAF shortly or in the F-15SG case for many years now

While that is fair, there would still be no need for them. There will never be enough BRs to have them at seperate BRs, so all that would happen is that you just have a whole bunch of foreign F-15E variants at the same BR as the superior F-15EX.

Yes, we know, you’ve told us often enough by now

The point is that the US doesn’t need another nation to get a better F-15

they might raise the BR of the EX later on, which would leave 14.7 open

That would require the F-15EX to be 14.7 to begin with

We don’t know what BR an F-15EX would end up at and what other F-15s Gaijin is gonna add over time

For all we know, Gaijin could pull another (late) move and add another F-15E with upgrades

Unlikely. I doubt we will see any BR increases for air until the next big batch of top tier aircraft (which I assume will be 5th gens). Maybe at most a 0.3 increase before that.

However a 0.7 BR gap is hardly a priority to be filled.

A broken clock can strike twice a day, but yeah I agree with this the US just don’t need foreign F-15s in their main research tree, some can defo come as events but I think gaijin just wants purely US operated tech in the aviation tree but just adding F-15 because adding more F-15 is cool is a bit short sighted.

Likely the rule is now only 3 to 4 maximum aircraft at the top rank at pure MAXIMUM anything other than that we need yet another rank to be added and given we are not too far off from 5th gen I think gaijin would likely want rank 10 to be just 5th gen stuff.

The F-15SG from Singapore should go to Israel, some of the other foreign F-15s can be used as event vehicles for the US but most just don’t need to be added.

There was a reddit thread about the F-15SG today and there were seriously people trying to claim it should go to Britain, Japan and China. All of which are bs (and triggered the hell out of me).

Saudi’s weren’t in the commonwealth

Why did Gaijin add naval targets to air rb maps, if anti ship missiles are practically useless against them? Even with 3 Kormorans, i couldnt even severe a destroyer.
Bombs work better, but even with those, destroyers just enter a perpetual sinking phase that lasts God knows how long, unless i guess, you dump the whole bomb load on it. Which is hilarious, because a player-controlled bluewater destroyer would be destroyed after it gets 3x 1000lb bombs on its deck.

Why dont you care Gaijin? Why do the extra work if its pointless, cause you dont fix things ?

And then there is the aircraft carrier. i dont even know how many naval missile loadouts one needs to pump into that to sink it.

I swear the Kh-29Ts are better at destroying ships than actual AShMs

Given we will have India with a hint of Australia or the Canadians I don’t really see the 15SG going into Britain unless gaijin thinks we must somehow have the F-15 has something that all four nations don’t have but since I know nothing about what the SG will carry I’m not in that camp

I mean i guess you could easily throw the F-15SA or QA into the US tree as a squadron vehicle but they aren’t really going to be much better than the F-15EX.

That being said… the truly evil solution is to make the F-14D a squadron vehicle to annoy everybody :)
