Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Game Discussion General Discussion
6731

We need the F/A-18C but apparently itd be too strong ( the pylons I assume)

6732

J-11A is just Su-27SK but built under license in China, there’s no other difference between it and the J-11 (27SK built in Russia but assembled in China iirc).

Unless the J-8F is going to get PL-12s, PL-8Bs and booted to 12.7, the J-11B is the most likely addition since it was the 1st version with domestic upgrades to use PL-12s.

6733

What are you scared?

6734

So what? The MiG-29 is still op

6735

Then we need Typhoon FGR4s with ASRAAM and Meteors

6736

J-8F is getting PL-12s i think they said that in its dev blog that it can carry them etc

6737

Yes Typhoon as well my fav 😍

6738

one of the devs is batman? damn

6739

Even the Typhoon DA too soon

6740

December I hope. Especially if they do add F15Cs this update

6741

Well, some stuff about F-15C is still up in the air, but it appears Russia would need Su-35 to even compete with Eurofighter iterations that didn’t equip MAWS, LWS, and etc now that I did the math. So perhaps December update.

6742

B might be a bit advanced.

Britain and italy are fine* but only so long Germany is going to last without them. But yeah. Questions for other nations will always exist. Thugh maybe AMRAAM will change the meta to a more BVR emphasis

6744

That would be overkill.

6745

So Would the F-18Es that maverick wants

6746

“We need Eurofighter and Rafale now that Su-27SM is here!!!1111”

Advantages of Gripen C and Mirage 2000-5F:

  1. Shit ton more countermeasures (especially next patch once they separate chaff and flares)

  2. Better energy retention

  3. Better manueverability

  4. Better radars

Advantages of Su-27SM:

  1. More missiles

  2. Better IR missiles

Seems pretty balanced to me.

6747

Needs to be an asterisk there. BOL are nerfed as hell at the moment

But the Gripen is also a much lower IR signature than the Su-27, as well as being a small aircraft which helps against IFOVs, so it kinda cancels that out.

6749

Only uses 1493 PESA radar, it should be a fit alongside F-15C

He also wants a T-90M event vehicle, a Palestinian Merkava (yes really) and a J-10C premium

He’s a goober

6750

Also, Eurofighter would have all the advantages of both Gripen and Su-27SM without any of the downsides, makes it so that it doesn’t have a place in the game currently.
