Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Consider We do have JA37DI, F4EJ KAI with aam4 is also an option, and C&P is their favorite.

Maybe, though I feel like it’s a waste because we already have an EJ phantom. It’d be like adding another T-2 with 9J/Ps instead.

Though, AFAIK, EJ Kai cannot use AAM-4 as it lacks J/ARG-1. I think it was only used for testing with mounting and stuff like that.

It has a test, but I am not sure if AAM4 is the prototype, which may be worse.

There is a topic that discusses if F4EJ KAI already test AAM4 or not, but at least it can take aam3

Yea it can take AAM-3, but yea it’s not really appealing as we already have a premium phantom. I think an XF-2A or F-2A early would be more interesting and get people to buy into top tier these days.

The ADTW tested the XAAM-4 on their EJ Kais afaik. Which would be pretty cool to have, XAAM-4 and AAM-3 on a premium EJ Kai, or even a TT one.
Not like they’d ever do something good for Japan outside of naval in the first place.

I think April fools event would be something which will allow to test control over multiple chassis systems, so they can use it later to implement such SPAA systems which they mentioned there:

I forgot that was coming up. Really curious as to what exactly it’ll be.

To what extent I don’t think we know, but given it’s the same radar on the EJ Kai without TWS or anything to support ARH missiles and no mention of J/ARG-1 which is required for AAM-4

in last passed suggestion, there are many T-33, I guess we will get it next patch.

A new T-80BVM? Huh… I never thought about that. It would be cool.

it would be better to add OBJECT 219M than just C&P

Took only a minute to find. It’s not C&P. As for the Object 219M, maybe as an event vehicle. I’d very much like to see the newer T-80BVM added to the game as part of Russia’s researchable top tier.

for me it’s similar enough to be a C&P.

J/APG-1 is the datalink system, it’s required for the full capability, but not in general.

For example early F-2 models already used AAM-4s before they were modernized with J/APG-2 and J/ARG-1. This way AAM-4 would need o rely solely on IOG, and then only lock within the 15km seeker lock range (16km in game I think), but with no datalink input.

From a reverse speed of -11 km/h to -20 km/h is similar enough? Have you played Russian top tier before?

Not mentioning the thermals and other improved aspects of mobility…

As much as improved reverse speed and better thermals are good… it doesnt bring much difference from existing 80BVM. Wonder if they’re planning on installing Arena-M APS on them too (since T-72B3A with it was apparently spotted in you know there and T-90M being delivered last year)

I can’t wrap my head around how it doesn’t bring much of a difference, especially the mobility aspect. It’s also more “future-proof” in that if even newer rounds were to be introduced, the 2023 version would be the top tier tank in the Russian tree to receive that treatment.

We’re back! schizo time! Submarines by the end of the year, april fools probably will be WW1 biplanes, germany gets bismarck.

We’ve been saying this for 12 years lol

Given that Gaijin is intent on pushing toward more and more modern stuff, WW1 planes and tanks are incredibly unlikely for at least another five or so years.
