What specifically do you see coming the fastest, and how would that impact gameplay ? Which aircraft’s would be concerned ?
F-16 blocks 60 and 70, Superhornets, F-14D, Mig-35, J-10C, J-15, J-16, Gripen NG…
Electronic warfare would be nice as well
I think they mentioned new mechanics/equipment rather than new planes
Then stealth and electronic warfare
We should have rcs modeled for all aircrafts
Most likely better sensor fusion, even the current countermeasure sensor fusion is broken and needs to be enhanced.

Now this is Big news and i hope this will open the Door for Helicopter Scouting.
With this the OH-1 could be perfectly introduced as a SQV for the Japanese Helicopter Tree.
While no weaponry against tanks exist it can go after enemy Helis and Planes and provide scouting for the Friendlys on the ground and it will be not OP due to longer cooldowns.
(Yes i really like the OH-1 and i want it badly, also more Historical Anime Camos :3 )

Yep, and if they do bring jammers to some of the aircrafts we have, radars will need an overhaul too, since not all radar types behave the same to jamming.
For examples the AESA’s we already have.
I see radar/IRST working at the same time coming first, rather than having to transition between one or the other.
It would impact Sukhois, Rafale and Eurofighter.
Would make it harder for those aircrafts to be notched or flared since the radar and IRST should feed data to each other.

I mean there’s several variants of the T-84, Kevlar E, Btr-3 (which has several variants), Donets, AB-13, Rokach, Btr-4, Barrier-S, Bmpt-Strazh, Ottoman 3, Azovets, BMT-72, BMP-64, MT-LB-12 and BTR-94, not including any modded T-series tanks or the upgraded Leopard 1A5, 2A4 and 2A6.
To claim Ukraine has only one unique vehicle is a tad bit disingenuous.

±105* iirc , captor E on the eft has an azimuth coverage of ±110* and no35 ibris on the su35 has an azimuth coverage of ± 120*.
I really hope we get IRST pods if they do rework how radars and IRSTs interact. Cause multiple countries do have IRST pods, or more generally things like the sniper being able to function as one.

Honestly not sure if we will see the F-16E Block 60. Would be cool but I think they will just go for the Block 70/72 since no nation in-game uses the Block 60 IRL. Chances are it will come as an event or squadron vehicle instead.
That’d need an IRST overhaul as well. Those planes IRST behaving like those old mig23 IRST just doesn’t make sense. It’d be like modeling PESA radars as if they were MTI radars. Range is scuffed, scanning is scuffed, no TWS…
Funnily F-106’s is modelled mostly correctly
I have absolutely not followed the f106. I also don’t know much about the plane. Could you explain what you mean ? (I did not even know it had IRST)
@Smin1080p_WT Hey,sir.As more and more over-the-horizon weapons appear, do developers have the idea of adding a continental war map in the future?
As far as i know for the F-106, the IRST displays in a similar matter to the radar on the radar scope

Due to the limitations of the Dagor, game engine, I highly doubt that larger maps, more than 135 km² will ever come.
Maybe it’s WIP for other aircraft’s then ?
You know… i just realized. If the “aircraft that stings” is a hornet, which it probably is. This will be the third update in a row where we get a hornet… which i ain’t complaining since i love hornets. But i do think it’s a bit too many hornets lol. Hopefully it’s an aussie or super hornet. I wouldn’t mind either :p
