Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Yeah, honestly if it doesn’t get put at 12.0 ill be suprised, but if its put in the 11.x range its worthless just like the Type 81 lol

Won’t even serve to shoot down AGMs, as they’re burnt out by the point they’re within range if they’re launched at max range. Just very monkey’s paw of Gaijin to give more advanced AA but nothing that covers the range actually needed.

SEPv3. v4 aswell if you want to go with the canceled addition but was delivered to 2-12 cav.

If they add the SLAMRAAM with C-5s it should have a theoretical range of around 30km.

If you read the news then you’ll know, however the Leo is confirmed to be in the next update along with a prototype leclerc for the main tree

They do. SLS (cope) should introduce search radar TWS and DL do SPAA.

it only used FB-10A, old FB-10 is just a transitional version, now fully abandoned.
FB-10A is bigger, like R-27E to R-27

I think old FB-10 is never used in 625 but mounted on a different, missile only chassis.

both 625E and IRIS-T has this character, I think its theme is DL+IR.

I honestly would not be surprised if this ended up being another F-16 / MiG-29 update – at least in the air department.

Assuming we get the F-2A next patch, there are a few other F-16 upgrades we could see, like:

The F-16C Block 50+ PoBIT for the USA

The F-16V Block 70 for Taiwan

The F-16I SUFA for Israel

Russia could get any of the following as well in response:

The MiG-29M

mig29m-7

The MiG-29K (could also go to the UK via India)

The MiG-35 (would probably come after the MiG-29M if it isn't skipped)

My main question would be what exactly each of these planes would get. New Fox-3s, new Fox-2s, new HMDs, new TGPs, etc. would all definitely be cool. But they’re not exactly needed right now. We may well be in for another bout of power creep – especially if Gaijin starts adding modern Fox-2 SAMs and puts those missiles on aircraft.

We are pretty reasonably sure that the IRIS-T SLS is coming to the game, meaning things like the Surface Launched ASRAAM, MICA-VL, and SLAMRAAM are on the table as well. I’m very curious to see how things go this coming patch.

That goes hard

it’s quite a surprise that they decided to deploy DL+IR earlier than ARH

MICA-VL is going to be a complicated animal to implement, because the missile already exists in game on an air platform, unlike the others

I was moreso referencing the IR variants being added to aircraft. For example, IRIS-T/ASRAAMs on the Eurofighter, AIM-9Xs on the F-16C, F-15C, F-15E, MICA-IRs on the Rafale, M2K, etc. That’s where we will enter another period of power creep – especially since the IRIS-T, ASRAAM, PL-10, AAM-5, and MICA-IR are quite a bit better than the AIM-9X and R-74M

Having that range on a nigh unflareable IR missile alone makes it quite a step above most things we have now.

The gatling gun is the thing I like the most about it. They’re almost always great fun in ground.

This shouldn’t go on the Mirage 2000-5F, in my opinion, since it would create a massive gap. Instead, the Mirage 2000-5F Mk 2 should be added and foldered with the base -5F and get MICA-IRs.
