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

@DevilO6 It would be funny as hell if you make a convo where Smin insults himself. hehe
I’m sure you can find everything to make that happen.

Those two pods on the wings are the ecm pods, so that would make sense.

I have a channed on my storage discord with smins

The thermals would be great for the USSR, especially if we get other variants of the Kh-25 with TV guidance, but we’ll have to see what if any new weapons it gets, also the ability to know when a missile is fired at you alone is pretty great

Those are radar jamming pods, no effect on IR to my understanding

The two cameras are just…well cameras to my understanding as well, there to detect incoming IR threats

I will have to be honest here, I am a big fan of the Su-25 and its designs, but the T and Su-39 already shown that the frogfoot is no good even with R-73s and other auxiliary devices at a BR of 11.3, this might be an even bigger strech.

So it’s pretty much just a Mk.3 with a sort of MAW

If its added, I supsect it will have R-77 so that it will be a match for the AV-8B+ with AMRAAM at 12.3 I reckon.

(split BRs mean that it could be a little lower in GRB)

Thermals as well, so it would be considered a really good upgrade.

Modern thermals will help a lot for making CAS runs, but yeah it won’t be a huge game changer unless it does somehow get an IRCM system

if the limited sources ive found the kh29TD in the game doesnt exist well it does but not in this name
what we is a TE basically meaning its a standard T with E= extended range
while 29D is a TE with thermal seeker.

but yes getting thermals for ruskis is pretty cool wish they added the t220 pod for smt tho

nightmare

thes very much can be fake

Sea Harrier FRS.51 (2012) would be 12.7 BR and better Sea Harrier FA.2

New Eagle Air superiority for USA tech tree might be F-15C MSIP II from 2001 with AN/APG-63(V)1 radar, IR SRAAM AIM-9M/AIM-9M-9 and BVRAAM SARH AIM-7MH & ARH AIM-120B/AIM-120C-3/AIM-120C-5 but without Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)

Mirage 2000H (IAF) something better Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2 ?

Skeptical if we’re already getting the SM3 lol

Better thermals? Because iirc the base Mk.3 already has gen1 gunner thermals.

Seems like a marginally better Mk.3D. 11.0 would be a fine BR for it, but knowing Gaijin it might end up at 11.3.

Not sure if this has been posted here yet. Thought I’d share it with folk here. I’d take it with a grain of salt.

Theyd be identical in performance

Aim-9M vs Magic 2s
Derby vs Aim-120B
Radar performance is similar, but Id put my money on the FA2.

As far as I am aware. FRS51 still use Mk103 engine, whilst the FA2 has the upgraded MK105 engine that the Gr7/AV-8B+ have. So in that regard FA2 is better.

If FRS51 gets added. Im gunna assume it would be a 12.3 Premium version of the 12.3 FA2 on the TT
