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

needs 120C-8 to make up for low speed

Gajin give me The Rah-66 and my life will be yours !

Well yeah, but still, they would be very uncommon.

A super hornet?? I did NOT see that coming

it doesn’t need anything, more advanced fox-3s will come when the maps and game is ready for them, not to appease US players getting a jet that won’t be Meta defining for once

I do kind of agree with this. Not every new plane needs to push/define the meta, it’s okay to just add filler/fodder planes too. Especially iconic ones.

Flight perform generally worse. If we get BLK 1, same radar as a late C. If BLK 2, we get AN/APG-79 AESA radar.

By the way, there is always the F/A-18C+, operated by USMC that we could get instead of plain C

Personally, it would be really cool if they gave both the IRST21 sensor integrated on centerline fuel tank

I support the addition of the hornet, and think it deserves to be in the game, but it should be treated as a more niche aircraft which can sit at 13.7 with improvements in CAS and A-A performance to something like a F-16C but trading Flight performance and avionics.

Personally I am excited for the addition of a top tier Finnish air craft since I enjoy vehicles from my nation being recognised in game, but also am hesitant to see it being forced to be something it isn’t (a meta jet) and shouldn’t be expected to compete with the Eurofighter/Rafale, and instead the F-16C and Gripens

Disregard that one.
Well, for the most part. F-18E, even though it may have a worse FM, will still be able to smack hard, in the hands of a sentient player of course

It’s just going to basically be a Sholef and probably a higher BR

And we all know how wonderful the sholef is

It requires AN/APG-79 to be 14.0 though

Bad leak list, I am thoroughly disappointed

Russia, Japan, China and Sweden need 14.0s

Disappointed in the leak itself or its contents?

Russia will most likely get the Su-30. Not so sure about the others

Oh wow thats perfect.

That gives USA, USSR, Britain, France, China, and Germany all true strategic bombers.

Finnish hornet and something like a J-10B or J-15 is the BARE MINIMUM at this point, we cannot have air rb be completely dominated by Eurocanards for too much longer, it’s becoming stale

Yup. Im particularly disappointed in the lack of any rumors/leaks or really anything regarding F-2. If that F-18E comes with AESA that makes it the second AESA fighter coming with yet still no sign of the F-2.

Now the update is still upon us so well see what additional things we get but not looking good.
