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

Ik I mean if they delayed the December to January
Some small vtol thrust changes and flap changes / wing decreases drag stuff
Pretty cool, devs remembered the harriers are real

Eh… Again, its hard to know for sure. Looks like a decent buff when at low speed and in the VTOL. But at higher speeds… its not entirely clear what the effect will be, and the Harrier is stupidly vulnerable at low air speeds due to the inverted thrust curves making it the hottest known thing in the universe

Hope the next CM Disclosures is going well, if you need anyone to spell check it in advance I’d be more than happy.
