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

Yeah… Mass C&P.

Im interested in how they’ll model a few things like the all-aspect IRST or the cockpit (specifcally the AR HMD) , but overall, not something I would actually play often, like the Harrier, Id probably spend half my time just messing around with VTOL landing on Carriers.

Yeah. The VTOL on the F-35B should be interesting if done right.

It’ll probably be the exact same as we see on the Harrier, but I do wonder if they’ll need to bodge it like the Harrier.

iirc, the Harriers actually have a little too much thrust in the hover because when they set it to IRL figures, it cant actually VTOL :D

Ha! 😂

I don’t know where you’re getting that. The aircraft hasn’t been delivered or tested in any capacity, the IAF has not received this aircraft and the tree sadly cannot get it ingame yet because of this.

From what I have heard they have a test aircraft but no deliveries. I did revise my statement. As I stated later on deliveries are expected around 2035.

I was just gonna let this die because I thought what’s the point but there is context to my back a forth with Smin that I could not in add at the time.

Yes I knew this from the very start because I read over that CM post regarding 5th Gen at the time it was put up! I was at work at the time of posting with Smin, I could not add the context of, going off the 2026 Guess list of F22, J20, Su57 FIRST all at the same time thinking that this would be for balance much the same as Next Gen IR missiles showing up at the same time would be fair.

But Now based off Oxy’s comments and now knowing he knows things to a greater degree then I was aware of…seem like no F22 first.

Also me saying NO 5th Gen in 2026 was assuming because the F22 was a good match up for the other two nations 5th Gen aircraft 5th Gen would be pushed back to 2027 probably.

Yes I know the F35 is in the 2026 guess but it says they would be added later, how much latter??? also the F35 is the most Stealth…sure it won’t out dog fight the others, but are we to assume the MOST Stealth aircraft will be added FIRST vs other nations, Dang!

F22 has a smaller rcs than the f35.

fake

I don’t know if it’s because of the override or if it’s a dlss issue in general but commander sight with thermal is very buggy for me

Meteor would probably be equivalent in kinematics to a Fakour90. So I don’t see why meteor can’t be added alongside Aim120D when Fakour90 is existing right now

Where are you finding these Mythical US Mains and why do we have to hear about it 24/7?

You cannot be serious.

Yes

explain pls

I understand that meteor has a throttleable supersonic ramjet propulsion and has better turn rate but it will have similar energy to a Fakour90

meteor does 100km in 90s.

fakour does 100 in 105 sec.

not same.

If you think the Fakour-90 is similar to the Meteor you lot might be more lost then previously thought to be possible.

The Meteor completely lacks the acceleration the Fakour is known for. It will have almost infinite energy and 2x better pull. These aren’t minor upgrades. The Fakour-90 has the worst seeker or all ARHs. It’s big and has a 3x bigger blast radius comparatively. It’s launched from one of the worst platforms you can have in toptier, compared to the absolute best on the EFT.

They are not comparable and this cope that they can be compared because they’re both BVR weapons is ridiculous.

You must’ve missed the part where I said kinematic performance

Dude saying fakour90 has infinite energy. ???
