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

Yaaay, excellent news.

Yes, that would certainly be cool, I love the F-15. It doesn’t matter to me what kind of plane comes out. The main thing is that he has Stormbreaker`s. And then it will be good.

i just saw the update post…
hmmm…
I feel wired to add 120D right now
If B/C5 stats aren’t realistic enough
why to add D type instead of look into or accept the bug report
I think they are being lazy alll the timee

Yep, they dont like the US and USSR not being meta

They see that US top tier air is struggling and want to buff them specifically (along with China). Buffing 120B/120C-5 doesn’t do that as it would be a blanket buff, for the US but also for the already powerful AESA EFTs (and a whole bunch of other planes), kind of negating the buff the US received.

So they add AIM-120D and give it specifically to the US so that they get a targeted buff. (just like why China is getting the PL-12A)

(don’t get me wrong, 120C-5s should still get a buff imo)

France, Britain, Italy and Germany having been the top tier air meta for over a year straight now:

So, seems air is not going to see as much in this update acording to the CM. More ground/naval focus after the Hungarian stuff.

Only one unique SPH, so it is between the Hummal and Palmaria.

IFVs, likely some of the CRVT models found and hopefully some for other nations.

as was to be expected with the addition of EFT and RFL

you can’t just add the uncontested best Gen 4++ planes to the game and expect them not to dominate everything

Thank you for your reply and reminder
I see your point, it makes sense
however
I can hardly tell how the US Air top tier would be being buffed with the 120D
I acknowledge that the 120D will have the GNSS along with ARH+IOG+DL
GNSS… doesn’t really matter, right?
It only tells the x,y coordinates in space, but not with the information on the z-axis
Or it didn’t even have the GNSS…

And, sadly, not even the cool type (Rank VIII MBTs after 2+ years since their introduction, Battleships… light stuff and DDs instead). Although I have some hopes for something!

SEPv3 or something, Leclerc XLR, or fixes for the already ingame broken tanks…

Also now news about regenerative steering :(

Yes, my long awaited LAV-25. The Dragoon would also be a welcomed addition.

@Smin1080p_WT anything for US top tier ground in the upcoming update??

I’m betting on F-15EX as well. Though a F-16C PoBIT is possible too

Yeah, since they kinda replaced the roadmaps, they give more insight as to what is more broadly planned compared to some regular copy paste dovbleg

we Hummel posting yet?

I see CM Disclosure 101 as Definite undoubtable proof of SdKfz 165 15cm fh 18/1 auf SFL Pz III/IV „Hummel“ coming this Major update

TW Hummels

me and the Boys in 4.3 Germany if Hummel doesn’t get the APHEDS

I mean their original idea to have only the F/A-18C get AIM-120C-5 to make up for it’s lacking flight performance was a decent way to keep other jets competitive, but sadly that got thrown out of the window (F-15E and EFT should never have gotten them that update).

Seems like they want to do the same thing again this time, hopefully they don’t cave to the pressure this time.

It all depends on what Gaijin believes it’s capabilities are. The most important thing for Gaijin is that they can change/buff the missile’s stats without the buff rippling to other planes that don’t need the buff.

  • recourses are hard to come by

if they want to make a Realistic Sunderland cockpit they’d need to physically visit the surviving ones and in coorperation with the museum take pictures themselves

Good point, I didn’t feel like going into the why of cockpits being expensive to contract to 3D artists but you’ve touched on a very important point.

A lot of the bombers featured in game have absolutely zero pictures of their cockpits online, and references are a must for 3D modelling.

And even if it gets it, I don’t think it would be higher than 4.7 - 5.0, it’s just a worse Nashorn with that ammo

150/88mm APHEDS and 150/128mm APHEDS would be funny shells that could easily push it’s BR above that of a Simple 150mm artillery piece with HE only

not to mention that it also has it’s own Full calibre HEAT and AP shells
