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

I am sure yes

why do you think we chose a Mech scan instead of an Early ESA???

Yep, I doubt the game engine would handle it :D

How can you have a radar with only one mechanically steered beam jam a target while scanning simultaneously…
It can probably jam, but not while scanning. Or it can scan while providing data to the jammers on board.

Welp, looks like what is most likely the camo reward for the F-16 event has been datamined and it’s ugly.

It can most likely interleave. Switching between Scanning and Jammer rapidly. Dont forget the pedestal can move at 333deg/sec. Especially when you also factor in PIRATE using its TWS to maintain track on targets as well. But it would likely work best when focusing in on one target, much like the Foxhunter use to render Mig-29s and Su-27 completely unable to use their radars if being targeted by it

It looks like Guy Fieri’s shirt but stretched over an F-16.

There’s also the MKI from 2009 iirc

Yeah, there’s multiple iterations that gaijin can give to Russia.
They can also just give Russia a fully decked out Indian 30mki if they really wanted to

Just thought I hope Hungarian low tier air comes with the Ju-87A

I call cap on this. Especially when only the most recent AESA with GaN can do it.
Otherwise AESA would not be a thing and everyone would have stucked with the obviously superior Captor M design

Now that you point it out, I totally agree, it makes it a bit better in my eyes.

I still hate the skin, as it’s so easy to make a fire-themed skin look good and it’s not that.

Funny enough, I have that suggestion pending right now

Reminds me also of Hammonds second hand Porsche paintjob

It’s probably using the wing tip jammers for it, not the radar itself

At least that one looks good.

That’s what I’ve been saying lol. But some people can’t stop glazing the captor M as if it was the coming of Christ itself

I would also like to request a Japanese Ju-87 A-2/K-1.
(I’m not sure, but I think Hungary used Ju-87 B-1/2 not A)

a lot of low tier would be nice to see, later P-40s, P-47B/C, US P-35 etc, the earliest spits (ones with a 2 blade wooden fixed pitch prop), and idk why the Fairey battle, Albacore and Blackburn Skua havent seen the light of day either

not to mention the Defiant or Roc, nighfighter beauforts, and oddball variants of planes like spit Mk.7 or Mk.8

or Actual Israeli bottom tier, and other multitude of options for trees (I only really know british early stuff)

I hate how low tier is ignored by the devs

Japan is missing hundreds of aircraft (over 300 aircraft models) from the period before 1946. Gajin completely ignores the low level.
