Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Oh? This is news to me, do you have a link to where you found that information? It would logically make sense to have a two seater as a testbed though.

Just look up the NG and try to find anything that isnt the 2 seater, ill need to look cause it was a convo i had with someone else give me a sec to link it

Just read through this.

Also snail I’ll kill to have a eskadrille 729 profile card like this lmao

Resume

Some holiday fun where they recreated the Topgun poster

I doubt they are planing to add meteor and IRIS-T to the game anytime soon, i could be wrong though. The EW is one (both offensive and defensive mechanics), datalink (though that’s true for a lot of top tier planes) is another. I’m not sure if other planes also have this ability but the datalink also works for the EW and not only threat sharing. Sensor fusion. Active countermeasures/decoys (parachute dropped radar emitter to make ARH missiles go for that instead of the plane). Terrain mapping. etc. There are likely more things i’ve forgotten :p

I agree, the stepping stones from C → are necessary until things like ECM/EW (saab arexis) is modelled, alongside a support feature like strategic datalink (jaaktlink or link 16) since they are core parts of what makes the JAS-39E so capable irl.

The NG represents the AESA, IRST, increased thrust and increased missile count without the risk of premature addition, it’ll also have an amazing FM if they add the NG without the enlargened fuselage

This is why USA needs F-22 and F-15EX in the next update :p

I feel its likely we see next gen IR before radar missiles

Some nations alr3ady do lol. Whats new?

I mean, both Israel and Japan have selected the AN/APG-82(V)1 as the radar for their F-15 upgrades

Just listed them as possible options anyways, what plane they end up giving to Israel is up to Gaijin and Japan luckily already has the F-2 as their AESA plane

i mean, russia has insane thrust vectoring iRCCM IR missile, why cant europe get one lol? Mica and r-73 has been dominating for way too long

You already spaded the F16AM, damn guess i need to get back to grinding, Russian coastal has been taking my time lol

Oh that’s me in the thumbnail too. Cut half my name off but that’s me.

Sure, let them have an early F-22 lol

It would probably be worse than the Rafale and EFTs

But it has STEALTH tech

Or do what gajin does and make an amalgamation of early and late variants
