Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I thought I might ask this now, is Romania officially a subtree to Italy or is it just the case of a few sprinkled vehicles here and there?

Romania is part of the Italian tree yes. Has been for some time.

So far the only credible “rumor” we’ve gotten afaik is the F-22 cockpit/oxygen tank thing

Thanks just wanted to double check

but even thats not decent enough as smins said the f-22 and similar jets arent due this year

They are just delaying the update to January to keep it a surprise and also not lie, it’s my own personal rumor/baseless theory

We all saw the images

You didn’t see any Graphite

A cool personal rumour that may be, sadly its false. Stealth and 5th generation aircraft were not planned at all for 2025. Plans are made very far in advance generally for large pieces of content and this year has been mapped for some time (well back into last year). Whilst the odd vehicle moves a bit to the left or right now and then (as is the nature of development), whole major developments in aircraft generations are not sort of thing done on a whim to just move because there is some speculation on it.

We dont move things based on rumors and speculation.

You saw an image posted by someone yes.

It doesn’t change anything regarding the statement.

So the Harriers just got giga buffed or am I massively misunderstanding this

no clue

I think so, unless I’ve got it wrong it seems they’ve gotten more lift and better turn rates with some more thrust with VTOL. Should be a nice little buff, nothing major but still should make a difference.

I would not go as far as “giga buff” and the true effects are really hard to interpret from the datamine. But they got a buff. Still got a very long way to go before they are close to IRL performance though

But BVR isn’t close to meta rn. Like at all. Even goldfish brained premium players aren’t dying beyond 20km.

If it was moved to January wouldn’t it be 2026 then?

Those lift multipliers + thrust buffs might make them very good.

There is no Jan update

Most of my kills in the Typhoon are BVR. I actively avoid WVR as even with a decent FM. We are massively handicaped in WVR without HOBS. Get within 5-10km of a Rafale, you die. Even in the Typhoon.

BVR is 100% the meta from 12.7/13.0+

If it wasnt, then the Torando F3 Late and Gripen A should not be the same BR
