Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

we really need maneuver kill mechanic now with all of these flanker players overdosing on aoa button and crashing

We already needed that before. I’ve seen more Eurofighter players crash than get killed in plane to plane combat

I’m really hoping Gaijin does some sort of decompression next month. I’ll make another thread outlining what I would like to see later on, but we really should AT LEAST go to 14.7. We are in need of another “13.0 → 13.7” -esque decompression spread like they did last year.

The Rafale and Eurofighter are simply in their own league, very closely followed by the F-15E and less closely by the Su-30SM. Decompression was needed back before this patch went live, but Gaijin decided to recompress BRs AGAIN.

Anything more than minimal decompression is the end of the world to Gaijin, so I doubt it.

Yeah true. What prompted the 13.0 → 13.7 “decompression” that they did last year was the addition of Fox-3s being more intensely game-changing than they expected.

We got no such major changes this patch other than an upped quantity of Fox-3s in general.

One can dream though I guess lol

Seeing how staff members are defending compression to the tooth and nail in other threads because “without full up tiers there would be no variety in matches”, I’m starting to doubt we will ever see the decompression the game needs.

First, it was a “queue time issue”.

Now, it’s the second time they state that “it’s because they are fun”. Although last time it was an official response and this time is just an opinion from a staff member, I still don’t feel it’s a good sign that this perception (real or not) is spread among the company.

I just wish for a proper decompression, instead of the usual “everything at the top BR moves up regardless of if all vehicles deserve to be moved up”.

If you’re confused at “tictac” UFO’s, he’s referring to this. https://youtu.be/SpeSpA3e56A?si=n6XVwUsuBc_OMScy

Its cancelled due to politics anyway, hence most likely a design thats going to be fruitioned
It and stuff like the arrow or F-111K could come ngl

I’m not supporting it. It’s great but no CF-188A + IMP and 🇦🇺F/A-18A + HUG. Maybe also 🇦🇺F/A-18F and 🇰🇼F/A-18E.

This is also a joke

No it’s not

The matchmaking system definitely encourages imbalance, and they also wantonly add vehicles they know will upset the balance, especially in the top tier. I became convinced of this a while time ago. My only hope is that they’ll implement floating (or dynamic) BR on vehicles. That is, the BR can vary depending on the modules and ammunition you have activated in your vehicle.

Your wish has been granted, all of these aircraft will be added…

Spoiler

To the Israeli tech tree

The one thing I hope for the next update, is to not have that guy who replaced Mike to be in the stream again.

They should bring smin instead. We will finally get to see and hear smin

Anyone but that guy as he never had the level that Mike brought

We are one week away from AFOOLs, any guesses?

Probably multi vehicles systems testing?
As for a theme would like somebody futuristic again

Stealth fighters such as F-22, F-35, Su-57, and J-20.

Would be a dream come true for @quartas121 as F-22 is finally in the game, but not exactly how he wanted

More seriously, I don’t think it’s time for stealth fighters to be added (out of april fools). The game should add what it lacks at current tiers before adding more modern stuff, and right now there’s so much stuff lacking… At pre top tier, we lack many aircraft like the A-6 and a few F-100s fighters, and at top tier we lack planes like the F-2A and earlier, less op versions of the Rafale and Eurofighter. 5th gen should come when the game has nothing earlier to add
I don’t even understand why they added these versions of Rafale and Typhoon before their earlier versions, like why did we get F3 Rafale before even getting the F1 or F2? They should take their time more and stop this modernity race that is going nowhere good

to be fair until the recent fm nerf, it was SO easy to rip your wings off on accident.
