I’m expecting fifth gens by at latest December next year, and probably around the third update of next year at the rate we’re going.
They should have slowed down the charge over a year ago, yet here we are.

Yeah that’s honestly pretty reasonable imo. If we get proper weaponry and ECM gets added, an earlier variant of the F-22, for example, genuinely wouldn’t be that crazy. Of course, hopefully this is later down the line.
Really ? 😯
AIM-9L replace with AIM-9X-2 (Blk 2) on AH-1Z ?
But wait AIM-9X Blk 2 for 4.5 gen fighter aircraft until 2029 or 2030
I mean the AH-1Z already has the AIM-9M in game. It’s just a matter of time before Gaijin adds the AIM-9X to it. My question is just when they will do that.
We definitely aren’t waiting 4-5 years for next-gen IR missiles on aircraft. I’d give it within a year after they get introduced on SPAA, but I’d honestly say it’s more probable that we will see them on aircraft either in one of the Fall patches or in December.
Why do people point out the F-15JSI? It hasn’t even been upgraded yet as far as we are concerned or at least we have yet to see a F-15JSI variant in public.

Because it’s the only Japanese F-15 yet to add other than the MSIP which is worse than the MTDP already in game.
But it’s impossible to add if it doesn’t even exist yet
I think 4 years for 9X-2 is pretty pessimistic.
We are already nearly 1 year into “ARH 1”, and I would say with things like the R-77-1 being added, we are pretty close to seeing “ARH 2”(120C-5s) within the next 2 patches.
After that it’s pretty much guaranteed to see the IIR Fox-2s prior to “ARH 3”(120D/Meteor/PL-15).

Gaijin said it themselves that Japan will get a new jet next update and I wonder what it could be after they have Benn releasing 4.5 gens the past few updates if not the F-2.
So please enlighten me

Could be multiple things like new Thailand jet/or another nation or older Japanese jets heck god forbid another “what-if” jet like F-16AJ…he’s just saying that after 2 years since they said we would have to wait “a few major updates” for F-2 he’s not holding his breath.

The Su27sm2 is a tech demonstrator and not a jet that was actually in service.
The Su27sm3 is basically what we already have ingame, with the only difference that it should have two extra wing pylons instead of the double pylons (at the end it will still carry the same amount of missiles). The Su27sm3 also didn’t get an upgraded radar over the N001VEP
Another Phantom variant or another F-104. they also only said Jet for Japan and not Japanese jet so it can be Thai

Yes…yes they would because it would be the most low effort option

Yes well… you can blame the fact that the F-2 is completely overpowered… eventually it will find its way in game
I mean… it isnt hell it should have come with the other big jets like the typhoon and rafale

AIM-9L on AH-1Z worse Air-to-Air Missile
I suppose AIM-9X-2 instead AIM-9L
The american Surface-to-Air missile armed AIM-9X Blk 2
But gajin might ready AIM-9X Block 1, AIM-132 Blk 1 and R-74M for aircraft top tier (includes strike aircraft) sometime this year
It might be american 5th gen fighter aircraft with AIM-9X-2 and AIM-120D
AIM-120C-3, AIM-120C-5 and AIM-120C-5 for 5 fighter aircraft this quarter or next quarter
I suppose in 2030 might see AIM-120D-3, PL-15 and Meteor
