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

Leaklist has 2 premium jets though, hasn’t happened since they did all those rank 7’s in one go in December 2022. Doesn’t mean it’s fake, but it’s not helping it’s credibility.
I’d prob take both, depending on the price.

the F-20 being a premium was corrected to have been a mistake i think

its fake F3 CSP would never be added

Nah that was the F-2 and one of the 04

The way gszabi said it they look at the model by eye rather than filenames.

Given the F-2 and F-16 look pretty much the same and harder without textures.
I can understand that

Well… This is Gaijin we are talking about here. Its unlikely, but not impossible.

Remember, when the Tornado F3 was added, the first Skyflash missile you unlocked wasnt even the Skyflash DF variant, it was literally the standard Skyflash, it was horrorific to use

The F-2 has bigger wings if I recall correctly, so they should be a decent giveaway about which one it is.

The Tornado F.3 is an asymmetrical equivalent to the MiG-23MLD, with it having a better radar and weaponry, but worse flight performance, yet was added as an F-16/MiG-29 counter. Britain in general is has not been having a fun time.

Isn’t the difference barely perceptible unless side-by-side with an F-16?

I mean if a person doesn’t know the difference then yea they wouldn’t know which is which
My take it’s a Thai F-16 as some are bluey greyish which make that yet more harder

Mayhaps, however if one studied them enough, it would become relatively obvious. I don’t blame them for possibly making this mistake, however it’s not an unavoidable one.

I don’t know why people say it’s yet another F-15 because even I know that difference lol

Some people believe that because it’s the path of least effort.

Yea true but same for the Thai F-16 as iirc it’s just another C variant

Indeed.

Yeah… Should have and could have been added in the F-14A update. Maybe even before. Such a shame

If the contents are from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1an1di7/not_a_leak_list_but_these_are_my_predictions_for/

They said it wasn’t a leak but a “what I think we might see” kind of list.

As others have commented, basically anyone who doesn’t know the specific differences with the F-2 will mistake it for an F-16C, even with a side by side comparison. Most of the differences are internal and aside from the blue paint, enlarged external features aren’t obvious.

F-16A Block 15 MLUs (with IRIS-T and 120C integration) and OCU4s (lot of CAS options).

(They originally got Blk 15 ADFs and non ADFs, these were later upgraded to MLU and OCU4)

Then yea that would be a good pick as they used they beat CAS drum for the AJ.

So a Thai F-16 make even more sense

I complain about the Leo 2a7v not being implemented correctly, everyone does that with their nations tank and i am vocal about the big gap between the f4f ice and eurofighter. I do not complain about other stuff. So what do you mean? Thats literaly sth everyone does. The matter here is about demanding a vehicle that arguably isnt even needed when there are other options /solutions in the work

On the opposite i am vocal about other stuff as well and support quite a few different endavours

Edit: and the unfairness which is called Sweden, but literaly everybody does that as well
