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

[Rowiek]

A boat would be nice, but not as the main/only addition, since a lot of people aren’t 7.0 naval (even if they play naval).

Alpha Jets are the “poster children” of the update - says who

“Alpha Strike” Update trailer

Unlikly to get any AAM on French one, the German got 9L being planned,… so maybe, Gaijin will add some Magic-1/2 on french per analogy.

i wonder is it cause the update is called Alpha strike

[Rowiek]

but no Japanese CAS that they desperately need at almost every br…

[someweirdname]

It’d have something Fox 3 related in the name if they’d add them now

[Tact1calPh3n3x]

like?

@Tact1calPh3n3x

Alpha Jets are the “poster children” of the update - says who

Almost as if the entire update is named after them. You know, “Alpha Strike”?

[someweirdname]

idk sth like Radar menace, or active strike

[KhorneFlakez1337]

How often does smin have to state that the Gripen C has been delayed because it wouldn’t differ enough from the Gripen A?

The teaser would have included footage of those missiles being used, be it by jets that are ingame already, or new ones like the Hornets

The Update is literally called Alpha Strike

We already know the Hungarian Subtree is going to contain AT LEAST 9 aircraft, that is a majority

Yes

[maxidaxy_ネコ]

Its called “Alpha Strike” because they are adding the “Alpha Jet” and not because they are adding the AIM-120A (Alpha)

[Tachikaze1]

I can totally see the FOX-3 update being called “Beyond View”

[Warpig]

@KhorneFlakez1337

Almost no new top tier jets

Good! We don’t need top tier stuff every single update.

@Tact1calPh3n3x

Hungry doesnt have the normal C that’s literally an early variant without IRIS T capability

Buddy every plane capable of AIM-9L can use IRIS-T.

You just understand whatever you want to hear without thinking a minute about the thoughts behind the text.

Sorry to break it to you but you just described yourself.

@Tact1calPh3n3x

The standard Gripen C that sweden has can’t be added without the early AMRAAMs or even IRIS T etc, so they will simply give another Gripen A upgraded to C standard (btw this will blow your mind - A was upgraded, ik its insane), however Hungry’s C variant can very well carry AMRAAMs under the same reason that Sweden’s will do. F20 can and will carry AMRAAMs being a premium, because otherwise it has no reason to be in the game just as a faster F5, like do u rlly think that? Plus if AMRAAMs are so far from being added then why Smin didn’t just say no to them as he did with tech tries and etc.

You have almost 0 knowledge of what you’re talking about. It’s honestly amazing.

• Current F-20 Proto 2/3 never mounted live AMRAAMS, let alone launching them. It’s also a much better F-5 with PD radar, AIM-7 / AIM-9L capability, HUD, MFDs and better T/W ratio.

• Sweden still used AIM-9L on their JAS39C in service.

• All Swedish Gripen A’s got upgraded to C standard indeed. How is that relevant I can’t imagine…

• Smin doesn’t have to answer every comment. He’s also a human afterall and doesn’t sit in RnR 24/7.

[Tact1calPh3n3x]

yh yh that doesnt explain anything and its almost like every update name had a meaning

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Idk man the strike aircraft called the Alpha jet, doesnt seem very likely that its the poster child of the alpha strike update. /s

[oom1992]

I might hope this major update gajin consider another IR SRAAM with IRCCM maneuvrability 30G ~ 40G from domestic europe and chinese (export, PLAAF & PLANAF) and AIM-9M later model

[someweirdname]

I know

[Tact1calPh3n3x]

Fox 1 is “beyond view”, no logic in that they wont choose this trash

[x-GeeNo_MS-x]

and can we know what are those meaningful differences smin?, because it have to be a really meaningful differences to not be added now.

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Most likely, the AIM-120.
