Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

R-73M isn’t dining at the same table as MICA IR.

Just add a couple second delay to the info, or keep it as it is now and just give all that info immediately

Is there any chance we see aircraft with advanced IRST be able to launch and DL Fox 3s using the IRST instead of radar?

This would be more realistic if you had a UK-CW flag on it ;)

Honestly i don’t think the F18 will be good unless gaijin decides to make it a late model of the C, even then considering speed is a huge part of the current meta i doubt the F18 will stand up to the current options though i am entirely ready for gaijin to release it in a state where its the 2nd best jet in game. Regardless Gripen or F15 will be enough for Japan (fingers crossed for F2, thats what im hoping is added)

Tbf gripen was added after F16 and unlike eft doesn’t have speed, so imo it could’ve been here with the f16C but it wasn’t, it came with the f15. Eft should’ve imo come with the f15E/I

It may not be, but it needs to be added, the US has a 14.0 now so it’s the perfect time to go back and fill in the gaps, the SU-30 that should come in the same update will be a nice boon for Russia too

Again i just dont see the f18 filling the 14.0 slot on two or 4 other nations one of which needs a vehicle to even justify the trees existence.

I think it will be a better Su-27sm honestly, though gaijin has been known to release vehicles in broken states then nerf them months later. Or 6 times within a month for balance and not historical.

Pls gibgorb i need something better than R77, i beg

@Smin1080p_WT any word on if we can expect the snail to do monthly decal reruns?

@Smin1080p_WT any news on the Workshop for Consoles for the new skin chest? Its overdue by 2 weeks
(usually it comes max 2 weeks after patch drop)

tbh the R-77 isn’t a bad missile IRL, Gaijin just completely messed up the drag modeling on it, they really need to fix it or make a rush to the R-77M with its more standard fin setup if they can’t

And I don’t think it necessarily will, though if it can be good enough for 14.0 that would be nice. They really should add the J-11B for China, the F-2 for Japan, and the SU-30 for Russia, either this or next patch, that would cover 14.0 for all but Sweden, then if the F/A-18 comes in the June patch it’s perfectly fine, and the Gripen C gets at least a radar update to AESA, that’s probably as much as we can hope for with the first 2 updates, getting everyone to just about 14.0, though I can see the Typhoon being bumped to 14.3 and still leaving some nations behind.

F18 will have to be as good as the F15, so sub mach 1 with all 10 missiles will make it food, so again i dont see it. Though again depends on the version if the F18C

So again probably 13.7

Could you hint about a approximate date/timeframe for Devblog for next major? :)

(Hoping for something even a tiny bit more tangible than Soon™ <3 ).

Radar isn’t going to make the Gripen worthy of a BR increase. It would need way more, though it should actually get its correct radar since its been over 6 months without it even using the correct radar.

It’s gonna be mid Feb, likely 2nd or 3rd week of so 10th - 21st but more likely a little later in that range

Ill tell you in march ;)

nope, but then Sweden doesn’t have a real aircraft that would be 14.0, they have lower BRs and higher BRs but nothing that really fits that specific BR

Yup, again perfect time to add Danish/Norwegian 5th air line, i need my Norwegian spitfires at 5.x and my Danish F 35, also Norwegian CF-104 since we dont have a CF-104 in game, would be a cool addition

Both F 35 and CF-104 could be good 9.7’s
