Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Depends on the missiles it gets honestly. Thailand would be able to get AIM-120C-5/7 and IRIS-T with the Gripen, but considering thy aren’t in game it would most likely be either the same as the current Gripen C or maybe get AIM-120C-5 if that is introduced with other aircraft too.

It’s not a bad aircraft and I probably did underestimate it a bit, but it would still be carrying 4 AMRAAMs against F/A-18s with 10.

I didnt say it would not help. Just what evidence for anything outside of Thailand is there?

G’99 leaked list

The leaks said china.

I dont like it, but that is where the evidence is.

Not that one

Because Thailand alone, while being a help, still leaves Japan leagues behind nations such as Britain or France in terms of future potential.

With other countries also going for regional / themed multi-nation subtrees (e.g. Commonwealth, BeNeLux, Nordic) it’s rather likely that something similar is done for Japan. And the only well received and coherent group of nations for that role would be founding ASEAN nations, which is more reasonable than a whole ASEAN tree but still gives all represented nations a common theme.

This one

and yes G’99 said this is real before you start to claim it’s fake

I think i need to see more evidence before i think malaysia is likely for japan. Only Thailand seems to be confirmed.

Yeah as much as I want to see ASEAN for Japan, I don’t think we have evidence right now to confirm that it will go to Japan, though Thailand seems to be secure

Its better than nothing.

EAP for december??? Tbh i think its more realistic of an ask than the people on tiktok who want the AIM 9X for the december update

Can it specifically carry 10 tho? and besides that combat loaded F-18 would be subsonic right? So gripen would be leagues ahead in terms of FM

@hienapunk No comment about this ?

The leaked Indonesian and Singaporean equipment was initially leaked for Japan. A later leak then showed that Gaijin changed their plans towards adding them to China (possibly alongside ASEAN).

With how badly that idea was received Gaijin scrapped their Squadron SG Leopard 2A4, likely meant to test players reception similar to the Thai F-5. Now it’s actually likely they revert back to their original plan.

It’s worth to point out this sudden change was after that Chinese interview

Cant wait for the first “leak” lists to come out and all of them either have the EF Typhoon, F18, Rafale, or the F14 D. itll be fun

I dont have any context for a bunch of white boxes.

What the same white boxes from the same person from the same site has gotten stuff right in the past ?

Can’t wait for G’99 to make an appointment with you

Thanks for the correction, I have edited the list.
