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

Yeah then i’d use chaff for pounding airfields without dying.

Hehe yeah, though just need to loft bombs for that

I can tell these are all fake, and as some people have already pointed the first one was already confirmed fake.

I can’t be 100% certain about any leak list, as it’s possible that not every vehicle is included, but there are two items in particular that I’m looking for as an indicator. I’ll gladly let y’all know if a leak seems legit to my knowledge. So far the first two leaks from China guy and the anonymous that I posted earlier are the only ones I have any faith in so far

Especially since adding a bunch of new top tier tanks and jets right after that just happened is not how Gaijin operates.

If you are notching or turn fully cold, dropping chaff will help defeat even DL 27ERs. This is because as the chaff drops it presents a better return as it rapidly decelerates. This can help pull the missile off course and cause it to miss where it would otherwise track. It’s still only worth taking if you have a large amount of CMs but it does help. It also can help defeat SAMs that radar lock you while you are close to notching as when you drop the chaff their radar will momentarily switch to the chaff and the missile will pull for it, before turning back for you, which helps defeat them kinematically

I wouldn’t…

My professional recommendation, these are the only two lists y’all should put any faith in whatsoever, and even then, don’t trust them 100%

ah yes su34 this early

R-3R can be dodged by turning slightly lol, don’t need chaff

Exactly

I’ve had chaff save me from R-27ERs, it’s not completely useless

Chaff absolutely works but you have to use a lot of it, which sucks, until they give us separate keybinds for chaff/flares.

what’s this?

How likely would you find a dev blog today? I got a feeling here!

30%

How great would you say the potential for a certain… single engine, F-5E-based airframe as a new premium would be?

On a scale of 1 to 10, why?

It would make sense as an early AMRAAM carrier as a somewhat parallel to the J-8F, so it very well may be a tech tree vehicle.

2 AMRAAM and 2 9L would be kinda sad tho

YES, thank you Grom
