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

Anything that helps evading the mica seeker more easily is welcome, I still find the whole seeker situation stupid but oh well.

MICA Buffs you say with nerfs to everyones chaff?

Chaff reduced to atoms say less

The essence of the F-15EX is in its electronics, of which only the radar and EPAWSS can be implemented in the game, as well as more missiles.

He can receive meteor and iris t

My guess would be ECM and ARMs. But we atleast know ARMs are planned for the first half of 2026 so that would just leave ECM, my bet would be in the September or November update of 2026 if we end up with 5th gens by the end of next year.

Not sure though what could come this update though, maybe new bomb types but the bigger technologies I would bet they leave until next year and beyond.

I hope everyone starts bashing the Rafale now rsrs

Yeah for another 400k rp lmao gaijin loves to do that on sweden already

Yeah.

My guess of “modern air warfare tech” would be:

  • CM Overhaul (advanced CM types)
  • ECM & EW (potentially 2 different things depending on what or how they model stuff
  • ARM
  • Decoys (Towed or Dropped)
  • More advanced radar modes?
  • Ground mapping radar / SARs
  • Sensor Fusion?
  • Advanced AAMs
  • MMW

etc etc

I think ECM/EW would be a good starting point

Well, if everyone gets new aircraft, we’ll all end up having to get 400kRP.

420K, although i probably see them increasing the value to 500K with Rank IV.

Thats the problem the Gripen E is the wrong way to go about it. Adding the earlier protypes without Arexis give it a weight reduction and allow gaijin to add the extended wing design. Production model Gripen E should be here when EW is ready. Again that gives sweden one unique Gripen that allows for a lower BR. Sweden air is desperately lacking in unique vehicles. Especially when gaijin will likely give everyone else the Gripen E. Best way would be to add the earlier model Gripen E first which also allows Sweden to have a 14.3 aircraft before next gen missiles.

I agree that it’s time for Gaijin to plan the ECM; at least for me, there’s a good chance we’ll see an F-22A and some prototype of the Su-57 next year before December. ECM would greatly help aircraft like the Su-35 Gripen and Typhoon against 5Gen fighters.

Maybe a rework of TGP pods also? Like adding multitracking for the ones capable of it and making them not rely on the aircraft for it’s stats so we can finally get multiple options instead of being stuck with just one. Or even adding the air-to-air modes again for the ones capable of it which would make them into discount IRST.

Yeah, that would be good too.

Maybe also things Ground mapping radar / SARs as well

Like LItening 5 used by the Typhoon and Gripen have built in SARs

Yeah that would be interesting

More likely we’ll see some sort of low BR aircraft get ECM in some sort of event/test

I’m going to buy 10k GE i not grind 420 or 500k no, i don’t have time to this

I agree

With a 1,500,000 SL cost and 500,000 SL crew training cost ontop of it.

Unfortunately theres too many people who have no idea what sweden needs and screech they need Gripen E or that Gripen E is too OP and would be better than EFT/Rafale as if its not being added 12 months too late lmao.

Again the E should only be here when the game is ready for it, we dont need a gimped vehicle that gaijin will give to everynation who doesn’t need another 14.3 we need gaijin to fix the Swedish air tree in general but thats a whole other argument.
