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

currently the game is at a stage where china can still be inferior

once more and more modern tech gets added the Chinese Tech boost will show it’s size

More likely to be the F-16C PoBIT rather than the EX for this update. The EX is a major upgrade and most likely would be part of one of the bigger updates in the year (either summer or winter). The F-16C PoBIT fits for a smaller update like this one.

In real life, definitely! However, I wonder if that will be reflected ingame.

At least in terms of Ground, it is not… only recently did some of the Chinese tanks get spall liners and reload fixed; many are still missing these, as well as their top shell still underperforming.

may still be 2 - 4 weeks until Major update blogs

If it gets added instead of sloppy pakistani and bangladeshi C&P

Nah, it’s coming this week 100%.

This major update usually falls on mid-March; add a month between the release of the major update and its first dev blog, and the season should be starting off this very week!

I would completly expect first dovbleg this week but more so on friday or early next week

russians still have r-37m which will save them for long range.
Also izd-810 will hopefully come into service soon which is r-37m’s replacement.

And they do also have a meteor equivalent they could add, though it was only tested/prototyped in the 90s then died

Maybe not. There’s sometimes a gap.

Statistically speaking most first devblogs happen on Fridays so I wouldn’t expect one any sooner than that, just to keep my assumptions conservative.

Watch Hungary lower tier be 4-5 vehicles being mostly C&P.

Hello @Smin1080p_WT , could we expect the F-2A to receive a newer ARH missile?

Why not? All other nations got fnf glide bombs except the us, do u know what plane is capable of carrying gbu53b (almost the same as spice) f15ex

Looking back at the past updates it’s looking likely for the first devblog to be either end of this week or next week.

Hornet’s Sting was the 20th
Alpha Strike was the 22nd
Sky Guardians was the 10th
Wind of Change was the 18th

So most likely either this week or next week.

That’s pretty likely. I know Hungary does have some indigenous low-tier aircraft but there will probably only be 2-3 added, the rest will probably be German stuff

If they add the F-16C PoBIT I hope it is without AIM-120D. Those missiles would bump it to 14.7 where it just becomes the worst plane again, by a comically large distance.

The US doesn’t need something overpowered, but they need a 14.7 that doesn’t instantly become the absolute worst jet at that BR.

Wednesday at the earliest is my guess. Tho first blog is 99% this week.

I don’t care even if it’s C&P, I just want low tier stuff to go with my line up

Isn’t it already in service? I thought the first squadron alreay got their F-15EX in double digit numbers.

Actually radar on JAS39E has quite similiar performance compare to those radars.

More funny thing is it has actual more usable range than both Rafale and SM2’s radar.

So if there adding the 120D this soon…is there any point in holding back the ir missiles???
