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

actually, you can get closer, after all it’s just an IRIS-T without booster, just a AAM. it’s energy will run out before 12km

as much as I’d love to have the Fuji T-1 or the T-4 I’d really hate it if that’s what they were teasing

Yeah but im worried about Pantsir lmao, im not gonna take a chance lol, this vehicle is DOA lmao its essentially useless given Ground RB.

Pantsir is not that terrible if you have K band in RWR.
you can just pull hard and avoid being hit if you know it’s coming. it’s a fast stick

If you have K Band lol, otherwise gotta use eyeball MK.1

It just feels pointless to mention a new jet for Japan and have it mean anything but the most anticipated airplane for the Japanese tech tree. That being said, I will wait till I see it, either in dev blog/teaser/dev server

Knowing Gaijin, probably just another WW2 prop

Another folder vehicle

True and why I’m not sold yet haha. On one hand they usually use these CM posts to tease new (read: leaked and anticipated) vehicles but on the other, anticipated vehicles get some kind of hint like a “storm” or “sting”, etc

Isn’t this just F-86-40? And are those red thingies drop tanks?

Wait what about yottabytes. Because computers operate on 1’s and 0’s, like F-2 Viper Zero

You know the Harrier II was a joint venture and not 100% McDonald Douglas

Its the Harrier I design with bigger wings and LERX ( The LERX that BAE were the ones to push for) with it all being made of light components.

And with your F2 comparison the F-2 is just a bigger winged block 50 with an AESA

the brrrt 's gonna be annoying to face, I can sense already

I think that’s just meant to say the ships are going to be massive, so stuff like the Yamato, Bismarck, etc

Japan will get this (It has a jet engine):

Perfect for 3.7/4.0 with rockets, torps, and depth charges used as makeshift bombs!

When it comes to top tier helis if it lacks fnf it’s automatically DOA.

Given the new SPAA can we expect the Eldenhet 98 to be 11.7 given its max range being 8-12km vs the 625E having 17km range.

Again its nice to see new SPAA but unless the devs make the IRIS-T fictional it wont be competitive for the current environment given i can take the Ayit and nuke the Eldenhet any day of the week because i can attack from outside its range.

The SPAA again is nice but it seems like its not worth it given range is a huge problem with most sams in game. Again things can change and the snail could make it the best missile in game but given its real life info it seems like its added way too late as its been powercrept years before it was even considered to be added.
