Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

There are no GDR roundels on this fake jet…

Yes ? Of course it is

That kinda depends. While unlikely to come soon, rafale with mica ir/meteor v.s. eurofighter with iris-t/asraam and meteor would like be pretty balanced. Rafale is slightly better up close, the eurofighter better a little further away.

New missiles need to be introduced now. We have the exact same gameplay as in 2024 when the Fox 3 missiles came out. The difference is that the fur balls in the middle of the map are rare, and the maps are bigger, allowing players to make better use of the map space. Thank God that’s improved, but the gameplay is the same. I want my Su-35 now

And I want F-15EX as well as Su-35 but they are probably saved for a later update

Me who’s been waiting on Mig29m for 4 years now…

No, it have the German flag and Bundeswehr cross on it, so no GDR fighter

They delayed both until next year, which doesn’t make sense since December is the biggest update, and this update has the potential to be Air Superiority 2.0. At least you’re getting a new FA-18; we got a strange bomber with engines from the Kharkiv factory and our pilot Ivan from the Urals.

USSR is finally getting mig25 tho, while it likely wont be game changing, it’s still a long awaited addition and frankly just paves the way for mig31.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten! Thanks for making me stop crying over the Su-35. I’ll be flying MiG-25s until the Su-35 arrives next year.

I don’t expect this vehicle to be relevant at all unless given missiles superior to everything else in the matchmaker, the flight performance is garbage

Its a fiction plane, ofc things will be wrong

And it really won’t, I remember when F18 first came out, the number of top Americans saying “now Russia is cooked” on the dev stream made me laugh a lot, how is F18 going to change anything?

I genuinly do not know how they will balance the Mig25… it has no gun, no countermeasure, has extremely low G missiles, is an absolute brick and can only go fast in higher FLs.

Put it too high and it cant defed itself whatsoever, and put it too low and there are no targets that it can engage because non of the planes climb high enough where the Mig25 can use its speed.

I have no idea where they will put it.

Which is bs looking at what’s being added in this one but oh well.

I mean honestly, Mig31 is one of the russian planes I’ve been waiting for. If they are introducing new longer range fox 3s, Mig31 could come in spring with R33, maybe R37, and even carry the Kh31 and Kh58 arm too.

Since it will have MTI, R60m and R40, I think the 11.7-12.0 bracket would suit it best. Thats just my opinion tho and its 100% gonna come down to how the snail models the plane and new missile.

Jaguar 2 😔 Wake me when the marder 2 appears in the not a leak list leak

anyone who believed it’d be anything but mid was a fool, especially the F/A-18E which has worse flight characteristics than the C

Sry if i am mean but are you out of your mind? The max G overload of the R40s absolute best is 8Gs. I would put it at 9.3 and even that feels too high looking at the Mig21S
