Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

A buddy of mine has done some user camos for Ratels and Strikemasters using African camos.

Would be nice to get camos for current vehicles like those on live though 100%. More African rep would be cool.

people forget about IIR seekers i repeat FORGET ABOUT IIR seekers, i said this long time ago and many here said otherwise, well… it seems that i was right after all IMO this is the best and the most healthy decision for the game and balance.

Aside from the occasional skin, I’d wager almost certainly never. You might find this surprising but nobody really cares about those nations. More vics from the Syrian civil war are more likely and, quite frankly, would actually be interesting.

So that is largely what I was expecting

me too and for long time ago XD i totally knew it soo… it seems that 5gen IRs are coming sooner than expected haha.

gotta love my F14D not on there :(

I knew theyd be no where near IRL performance with regard to seekers, but I wasnt expecting them till much later in the year, maybe Dec or early next year. But now im wondering if we could see them next major

If it helps I did think about it, and the F/A-18E

Time to swat everyone else with ASRAAM

Absolutely, getting kinda fed up with Aim-9M actually.

yea

I would tolerate it more if they just fixed the lock range on it. I understand why they didn’t fix it in the past during the gripen meta, but now there’s no reason not to.

Yeah, that is the main area that drives me nuts with them

Maybe if more US mains complained they would fix it :]

i mean the 4 gen IRs got added almost 2 years ago soo… at some point its expected to see new IR missiles people right now is really used to how evade the missiles we have its also expected a little step up when we talk about IR missiles we got that step up last year with radar missiles in june for me it makes sense that this year in the same exact month newer IRs could come.

The AIM-9X bl 1 is significantly worse than other IIR missiles in flight performance, and the IIR seekers already in game just have both suspension and FOV narrowing IRCCMs together, so it wouldn’t be overpowered against the other missiles I mentioned.

Truthfully, I don’t disagree. AIM-9X Block 1 lacks datalink like some of the other IIR missiles and I wouldn’t mind seeing it come before other IIRs. But Smin did say we can expect to see all of them coming together.

To my understanding this isn’t true. That’s just dual irccm. IIR seekers in-game are seekers like the SPIKE ER, KH-38MT, AASM, AGM-65D and PARS3 which cannot see flares at all. They have a much more miniscule IFOV of 0.01. They work completely different than something like Python 4 in the files which has both suspension and FOV narrowing.

I think he means the Type 81 SAM is both

Expand on that?
