Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

and the problem is that all other trees also make money

No confirmation, some say the ship sunk other say it was taken off the boat to go fight for the Germans

Fair enough then, Could’ve sworn it was lost in shipping before japan could fully test it.

Inb4 they give the rest of them to china…

japan has aesa with f2

The thai Gripen E will probably still be added sometime in the future if not this patch. Japan doesnt have anything that could be added.

F2 is garbage

japan can get a whole bunch of planes now (rafale, su30mkm, fa18d, su27skm, etc)

except maybe AAM-5

Yes, naturally.

As I mentioned the FV438 is another vehicle which should be using MCLOS controls, I think it would do very well at 6.7-7.0. Even the current FV102 Striker depicts a very early version which would have been MCLOS only; the fire control system upgrade to ACLOS was performed over 1990-1995.

Oh i definitely agree but given we dont know what model E they want its best to leave it until they actually arrive. To put it simply they could choose the E without the IRST sensor and the shorter wings.

No reason to add it until we know what model they are getting

MCLOS is one of the few bits in Warthunder thats easier to do IRL than in game

btw does the e model with everything kitted out (flap extensions, irst, ew, etc) actually exist or is that just a ng model

Nope it exists F-39 and Gripen E for sweden have them and also have models without the wing extension. We’ve seen them on full production models now

Used to it at this point. Some people are more intrested in a gotcha than an answer in some cases.

Recent Brazilian Gripens delivered to Brazil have the extended wing design

The real question is what model will gaijin add? Cause i can’t give info on the Gripens with the extened wing or without since its all classified to my knowledge

Yeah and FV438 with its elevated sight would be able to fire from behind cover, giving the player an easier time controlling the missile.

UK ATGM evolution is barely represented in game at present. Degrading the FV438 and Striker to MCLOS would create room for a Striker LEP with (correctly modelled) thermal sight, ACLOS digital missile guidance, and the 5.9 diesel engine.

At this point I will again reiterate my support for adding Scouting to the Striker, same as Wiesel 1A2, the Type 60s, and several other light/airborne tank destroyers. I’ve tried several times to highlight this via the Suggestion and Bug Report mechanisms to no avail (thank you to Smin for previous feedback on this issue, I remain hopeful that the R in CVR(T) will be represented!).

Hey guys. A reminder that direct threats of deliberate derailment and disruption to the topic are fully against the rules and would see direct action taken.

Thank you :)
