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

well they have LEGION pods for IRST, but maybe they are working on an even better MAWS, who knows

AIM-132 Blk 6 for EF-2000 (project centurion) and Tranche 3A

AIM-2000 (digital ver)

For DEU, ITA and ESP

Located after EF-2000 and F-2000A (T2 Blk 10), but battle rating 15.3 minimum to late rank IX or early rank X

they will probably be 14.3 or 14.7 whenever gaijin is going to release them

When people ask for power creep in top tier jets, I sit back dreaming of the CA-15 Kangaroo and numerous other cool WW2 aircraft being added to the game.

I suppose this year gajin might decompression BR to 14.7 (Air AB, RB & SB)

But battle rating 15.3 in 2 years, maybe

I’m still holding out hope for the A-4M this patch

The F-15EX and Gripen E, Superhornet III are the best 4.5 Gen aircraft in the world (followed by the other Eurocanards). And the Su-35 is on par with them. The Eurofighter and Rafale lack quantity and variety of weaponry atm. And they’re not combat proven like the Superhornet and Su-35 who have similar ages to them. And technically the Rafale has been combat-proven, just not in it’s favor.

I can assume that along with the new air defense systems, cluster bombs and SEAD will appear in this update. JS Yubetsu will also appear, because the Community Update talked about several “iconic, large” ships. Could there also be an F-18 for Germany?

Spoiler

Same-ish. As it’s ground stuff for me.

The F-15EX is a flying brick just like the F-15E
The Gripen has low combat endurance and limited CAS/ SEAD capebilities
The Super Hornet has a even worse TWR than the legacy Hornet and accelerates even slower and has a lower top speed and service celing

so the EF and rafale are missing quantity but the gripen e isnt?

  1. The Gripen E can do dedicated anti-ship, EFT can’t, The Gripen E has better EW and more weapons compatibility (entirety of NATO + Domestic Swedish and Brazilian weapons). And both are around 4x as expensive btw.
  2. That’s not real. Try submitting that as a bugreport.

wrong, Marte ER

weapon integration is something that can just be added via a software upgrade

you mean the platforms that are actually exported instead of the Gripen E?

it is a render made by the Eurfighter GmbH so it is something that certainly is possible if desired

and also what about the F-15EX and Superhornet?
why dont you try to defend them as well

iirc the twin Meteor rails are also proposed for the future Gripen M by SAAB themself.

the EF would still be able to carry more missile, as stupid as it is IRL to carry 14 missiles

I know, but same with Rafale F.5 :)

Up to 6 can be carried. Also RBS15 variants were also displayed

i just noticed that the EF seems to have a flat tire lmao

The new FBW and it being a new build airframe helps a lot from what I’ve heard

that might certainly help but it wont change the fundermental areodynamics of the jet, unless they found a way to ignore the laws of physics or something

The aerodynamics aren’t even bad though
