Tbf it could be any features or mechanics you’re wishing would come to the game, or any fixes to existing bug reports.

I was actually surprised that SEAD got zero mentions in the last community update post. You would think they could spare a sentence or two for it.
Yeah same… I was expecting at least a mention of ARM, even just a repeat of what was basically said in the Q&A, but nothing not a word. So we’ll have to wait and see if its this update or not.

I would love to see night battles for battle-ratings of 14.3 and above.

That is if it does come this update. The Q&A mentioned it was planned for the first half of 2026 so it could come either this update or next update.

In a gamemode like ASB as well, things like afterburners or even pre-flaring would become a tactical choice as to avoid making yourself more visible

No mention of SEAD/ARMs. No mention of next-gen IR. No mention of new air technologies that they mentioned was planned. I’ve been spoiled by previous community updates.
Well they did say the aircraft side will be smaller so I could see June as a big update for air, but then again plans change don’t they

I understand that everyone wants something, but everything has its time. You point out the game’s problems and offer solutions. And that’s great! But the thing is, the game has virtually no competition, so everything happens gradually. But I love this game with all my heart and enjoy playing it. If something doesn’t suit you, you have two options:
- Switch to DCS
- Don’t play at all
Choose.

Where’s 3. Complain?
It all comes down to competition again. You can cry your eyes out, but it won’t do any good.
Disagree. The Chinese community cried their eyes out for PL-12A and new engines so they’re getting it. Feedback does work sometimes, it’s not a complete lost cause.
(No one please misconstrue that I’m against J-10C getting new engines or PL-12A, that’s not what I said at all).

The thing is, the mechanics are usually poorly implemented or buggy and the fixes are often not the most important, or somehow bugged themselves. At the end of the day the only good thing we get is something that looks good in our hangars
Honestly I was more expecting ECM/EW for June given how much it could change air battles and the June update is one of the bigger updates in terms of content and new features. Although SEAD and ARM would be big changes in reality they are pretty limited since they are meant for big SPAA.
Also with the F-16C PoBIT potentially coming it could be a good aircraft to introduce it with.
But so long as they implement it right I prefer them to take their time with it and not just rush it out.
And sometimes we can’t even enjoy that because the 3D model is wrong/bugged and it’s gnawing at us :P

Wouldn’t it be better from an incremental standpoint to do SEAD/ARM first then see how ECM/EW would impact things?
Because if ECM/EW comes first then SPAAs are also affected, and then they’d have to deal with the double whammy of SEAD/ARM on top of dealing with ECM from aircraft.
The emphasis here is on national balance (I know there’s practically none). Chinese aviation has long suffered (even more than Germany), and the J-10C for these missiles still raises questions. Of course, it will add 1-2 tons of thrust and a 5-10 km launch range (bringing it up to the AIM-120), but will this make a significant difference? — No.
UPD: Because the Rafale, EFT, and Su-30 will continue to beat up everything alive, whether you’re in an F-22 or an Su-57 (the latter is a little luckier, he has DIRCM).
