Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I know the ATGM Badger doesn’t have the autocannon. I am completely fine with that.
I would just love to get a more mobile version of the ZT3A2 Ratel.

Not the Bismarck but from the last CM Disclosure saying:

there’s a strong chance of seeing it in-game this year.

The bismarck is somewhat adequate too. Not overpowered in its current standards. However we need to convey the message that naval needs decompression as well.

I want gajin test Python 4 on F-16C/D Block 40 Barak II (lose AIM-7M, AIM-120A & Derby) and thai F-5T SCU Tigris

Yes, while there is nothing stopping the Israeli F-16s carrying AMRAAMs, I don’t believe they were used until the F-16I, so stripping the F-16C and/or D of it’s radar missiles and giving it Python 4s could end up being quite fun, and with how the Python 4 seeker is in game right now, it would be far from OP.

Personally I would love for the F-16D to receive this, just Python 4s and A2G weapons, to make it stand out against the F-16C

Alright what’s expected for this next update

My guess is vehicles

😭, but specifically

Lots of people expect the F/A-18 but to be fair that’s been true for the last 5 updates

Personally I think the F/A-18C will come in the June update, maybe with AESA radar and a push for multiple aircraft to be updated with AESA and PESA radars.

That’s what I expect, June update tends to be a big one, and the last 3 years the US have received a tree topping naval aircraft in June with the F-14A, F-14B, and AV-8B all coming in successive June updates.

Best case we get a USMC F/A-18C with the AESA radar and a new wave of top tier missiles for most if not all nations

I’m not too sure with the missiles, I think we might get some upgrades to the missiles but not full 5th gen upgrades. Maybe AIM-120A’s swapped out for B’s with they’re proper modelling or maybe better 9M’s.

I’m not certain about missiles but by June it’ll have been a year since we had a new one, I could see PL-8B coming as well as limited Python 4 introduction with a nerfed seeker, also R-73M or R-77-1.

They could also improve the ARH missiles though that interests me less

Su-30, F-2, F/A-18, J-10B, J-11B and perhaps JAS39E were the most anticipated. Additionally non-top tier jets such as MiG-23-98, base kfir c.10 has been discussed as well.
There are voices for the MiG-25 but I dont think playing it would be fun.

Aye, I expect the less exiting of those aircraft will come in March, J-10/11B (just one) and JAS 39E Early(which would have fit the 4.5gen eurocanard patch perfectly) primarily, I would also hope the F-2 comes, make a nice China and Japan rivalry themed patch but somehow I have my doubts.

Then whatever doesn’t come in March comes in June with the big F/A-18 and SU-30 mega patch that comes with some big new feature as well

Primarily I expect March to be ground focused so no new airframes, I could see the F-2 being a June update hopefully at the latest

Only the VEAK 40 would get it, IF it was added, I myself am for it only getting the updated HE-T chells. same performance as the DCA 40 and Leopard 40/70.

Older rwr’s can’t detect AESA. Thats where it comes from.

Probably. The F/A-18 needs to be like 15 months late to the game before it can be added. So thats why I think the Su-30SM is the next flashy thing. Which seems odd to me because the Su-27 does fine in Air Sim. But because Air RB gets the most focus, its a bad plane and the Russians apparently need something “better”.

Depends. Although Im 70% sure the existence/suggestion of MIG-25 is purely as predecessor of MiG-31

Its terrible in sim too. It does pretty much nothing better than its opponents aside from having r73 which is pretty mid.
