Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Gaijin never denied a modern flanker to China; they got the J-11B along with the Su-30SM, becoming the second-best flanker in the game. Now, if you’re talking about the Su-30MKK, why do you want it so much? Obviously, Gaijin won’t add it to China now because they’re preparing something much better for China. China will probably still get a new SPAA. Saying that China hasn’t received anything recently is simply false. Let the J-10C come to China first, as it’s a national aircraft, and I believe Chinese players will be happy to see their jet first. And let the Su-35 come to Russia first to fill the gap. Then Gaijin will have plenty of time to give China the J-15/16, and obviously the Su-30MKK, which will obviously be added to a lot of nations next year and will become the Russian version of the F-18. As for the J-10C being better than the Su-35, well, I won’t give personal opinions, but Su-35 is much better they are quite equivalent since China based its strategy heavily on that. in Soviet and Russian technology

Probably Thursday

I hope you are right

Are those non-functional rocketlaunchers or would those be some kind of countermeasure launchers?

Su35 much better than j10c
Future In game:
For su35
Su-35 better missiles (pl12 vs r771) and more missiles, or roughly equal missiles (pl-15 vs r77m or r37m)
Vastly better radar
More counter measures
Better maws
Better top speed
J10c
Better flight performance for sustained dogfight (su35 funny tvc tho)
Better acceleration
And that’s about it

I’m still kinda stunned that neither the Gripen E or the Su-35 are in the list for this patch, they are equivalents to most of the stuff that is getting added or that is already in the game.

As for the china Flankers, waiting for some proper sources which would result in proper modeling doesn’t sound too bad tbh.

I mean its pretty likely. If gaijin waits till next week they wont have much time for dev server and fixing the 4000000000 things they broke. They have to get it out this week to have a reasonable amount of time. Any later and we can expect some things to be very rushed lol.

Nobody needs it thats why

They are non-functional chaff countermeasure launchers, as seen on some other modern vessels.

Does the 30mm seriously not have any other belts? A tad unfortunate

Oh yeah I forgot that the F-18 is on par with the Rafale, how could I forget that.

Specifically the F-18C without HMD.

I think that list was quite short, but there won’t be another one, you can be sure. It was leaked because of the deal involving Olivia. I made a promise that if the Su-35 didn’t come, I would return to GRB, or do the Rafale in France. And maybe grind china, i want chinese flankers

I think that if either the Gripen or the Su-35 were planned for this patch they would have popped out in the list, but eh, I guess march update it is.

China flankers are looking hella strong, and the J-10C is also very interesting, most likely the next tree I’ll be aiming for too.

This December DEV server will be quite large, to be honest; I believe it will be an air superiority style update.

Or they were skipped in favor of more popular nations taking the spotlight. Both are good explanations imo

I mean the “Educated Guess” list did say Part 1 or #1 so it goes to say that there might be a second one

Air superiority was rushed iirc, like December 12th it released with only 2 days of dev server time.

I may be confusing it with another December update though.

It’s kinda debatable but fair, afterall, France will continue to be the spotlight for AIR RB at least, even with the new addittions.

PL-15 should be quite the gamechanger, but I doubt that it will see proper performance modeling.

I don’t know, they might be delayed. The Su-35 is more likely to be delayed than the Gripen E because it’s taking too long, just like the Japanese F-2. But before the leak, they said they wouldn’t leak anything because they wanted to let the Gaijin prepare a surprise for us. However, as happened with Olivia, I think they decided to leak only certain things, like the MiG-25, which is very iconic and highly anticipated, just like the BMPT. They certainly know what’s coming, but they won’t show us.
