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

I mean, the possibilities are:
Thailand as a subtree for Japan
Potential subtree for China
IFV branch of Israel
Independent Turkish or Indian tree

And in the mean time Hungarian air force confirmed.

Been looking around for what would make the Jaguar IS unique compared to other versions, is it simply just the MAGIC IIs or does it get access to any of the more unique ground attack weapons the Indians use like HSLD? Sorry if answered already.

Though I assume “wait for blog”.

(also I think its a shame it wasnt the 2 seater selected, those look cool and would be nice to have 1 in the UK tree)

India has great possibilities. We are talking about a “china 2.0”

  1. Huge market.
  2. Many vehicles used by India are already modelled.
  3. Some unique things on the top level.

Sounds like something gaijin would do.

HAL did remove one of the guns to accomodate for a non-centerline TIALD(or domestic pods) and hence three paveways, but per the teaser it is still Mk.13 GBUs.

Exactly low effort for a big reward.

They got rid of F.3’s because leasing F-16’s from US was simply cheaper and better for their airforce. F-104 has nothing to do with it

The EFTs were meant to replace both the ADV and F-104 fleet, but due to the delays in production F-16 was leased to Italy which also meant that the ADV upgrades will be scraped, having its role taken as well.

Better engines, 1 more GBU, possibly better TGP, overwing Magic 2 and sexy camo :)

IIRC wasnt it also to make room for internal ECM stuff too? Would be neat but I doubt it would be 1 of the first radar jam planes to be added (would be cool though)

And yeah I dont usually trust teaser art because it has been wrong/not ready etc in the past.

Just think it would be neat to have domestic ground attack and not just a full on “copy” moment/something relatively unique like happened with the anti ship missile tornado.

Shh these are available as custom skins already

yea

I remember that NovA29 had a finished Marut model (the guy developed other planes for the snail)

There was always the option to introduce the jaguar IM, which does not only have a radar, but also harpoons or sea skuas. OFC thats extra work and gaijin isnt a fan of it.

Honestly surprised this wasnt picked for the event vehicle myself, I hope gaijin plans to add it in some way though.

Yeah, that would have been fun. Could also have gotten Skyflash… but even just ASMs. we need more ASM equipped aircraft

Knowing the snail, you’ll probably have to grind all the Indian Air TT to get it.

A while ago, in a very precise leak, the Gnat appeared, but it never arrived. Maybe india is the reason it hasn’t arrived yet.

Maybe some hints on some more trainers coming in the near future?

Would love seeing something like L-39/L-159

Well pilots needs in theory training before getting into the trainers first. Like, tutorials, in game, for jets, you know. But yes I am very interested to see how LIFT trainers fly, namely the JL-9 Shanying, T-50/FA-50, and M-346/Yak-130.
