Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I just realised that you forgot Israel in your comment, but you did list the IAI Eitan for Germany lol

And to be fair with @AWACS_Ghost_Eye1 , the MQ-9 series of drones has at least 7 hardpoints, each capable of carrying multiple Hellfires

@Smin1080p_WT

Do you think we might see Air Simulator Battles get the attention it needs in this coming major update?

The last map we got was “Rocky Canyon” back in October 2022 in Fire and Ice, which was 2 and half years ago and the maps in general are extremely lacking in terms of objective variety and quality. Having not been updated in a lot longer than that.

We still have F-86 Sabres as an AI air target to shoot down in aircraft like the Typhoon, it is deeply disappointing.

@MythicPi has a great set of suggestions up on the forums for overhauling the current set of Objectives, so the work has been done on the community side of things for suggesting improvements, but nothing for them actually being implemented. (which he has kindly linked all of them below)

As a final note. It is also about time we get larger maps. 128x128km maps were starting to feel small 2 years ago. With Mach 2 capable, ARH slinger beasts like the Typhoon, Rafale, F-15E and Su-30. They are like flying and fighting in a matchbox. It is 100% time for larger maps, at least 256x256km as a starting point (Done right, the same map could be used for multiple ground maps, naval maps and of course ARB maps). Something like the entire Falklands islands would fit neatly inside a 256x256km map with a decent amount of occean for 1 or 2 carriers to move about as well.

Yeah, infuriating for the German players that would like to get something new, but get copy-paste instead

So nothing new huh?
Germany has been getting shafted for a while now so i wouldnt be surprised.
Cant remember the kast time we had a heli, tank or aircraft of any value even getting passed for consideration.

Something, something Politics… something…

You just got the Eurofighter Typhoon and Panzerhaubitze 2000 in December. You can’t get special stuff every update unless your nations abbreviation starts with US.

TB-001 would be a unique drone for China

TB-001 is a large thing, so why not larger
and I’m sure PL-12AE and PL-108 on UAV will be fun.

Ok that’s kinda tough

I really was surprised Boeing got the contact rather than Lockheed.

Probably bc F-35 outrageously expensive

Also, Boeing needs this. They cannot screw this up

Given the things going on with Boeing recently, the F-47 is not looking good.
