Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Only PD MAWS.

Most MAWS though wouldnt necessarily detect a long ranged launch

I’m not sure about MAWS outside of the F-111s, but plenty of planes at that BR range have missile launch detection via their RWR

Harrier T10, A-10C, F-111s are the 3 that come to mind

edit: Su-25SM3, Su-24 and Tornado IDS RET8

rwr “radar warning receiver”

If the December update doesn’t have very good stuff, the wait till March will be VERY painful…

Shame we don’t have scouts to scan ahead this time :/

ecm when ?

well, its guaranteed to be the biggest update of the year, and a massive air update. Thats the way it has been for 5 years

When seekers are no longer 1 chaff simulator

i mean, you’re just coping tbh
Imagine crying about the R27ET of all things lol, lmao even

And so Is the mica EM, PL12 and others but you’re not crying about those, are you?

I’m not sure the comparison between the KH-59 and IRIS-T is quite the one you want to be making here if thats the connection you are trying to form.

Even the R-27ET is not even remotely close to the IRIS-T.

gen 5 is soon… i can see the future

I don’t know what else to call it. On a lot of the planes I use part of the RWR display includes a launch warning and it definitely has saved me from IR missiles before.

no? but how is that an argument, the r27 isnt top tier. You are excusing having an unmatched missile in a certain br, but other nations cant have unmatched things in another BR.

Exactly, that’s why it’s been so underwhelming for me, hahahah.

The last few years have been SO air-heavy… we’ve got like 25 jets per MBT.

Rank VIII Ground was introduced 2 years ago now, and we’ve only got like 2 new Rank VIII-worthy MBTs this whole time.

Still waiting for stuff like: M1A2 SEPv3, Leclerc XLR, more uparmored Leopards, modern iterations of Challenger 3, even stuff like Object 640, or hell, even T-14…

You know, the sort of “next-level step” that was hyped up back when Rank VIII was introduced.

the most low Br r27t is the bison 12.3

The R-27ET can be flared just as any other IR missile of its kind can. If it was possible to add an equivalent at that BR from another nation, it would definitely be considered. But nobody made one of that kind.

IRIS-T is not so easily flared or avoided at all. The two don’t equate. As we have said many times. Advanced IR missiles would not come to just one nation / vehicle at a time.

Personally. I think im hoping more for new mechanics and long time fixes than anything specifically new vehicle wise. I dont think the game desperately needs new vehicles at the moment for the most part.

So things like:

  • Regen Steering (dual dif)
  • Better Maps / new maps / new gamemodes
  • ECM / ARM
  • SEAD gameplay

etc etc

Not saying that they should. Russia already has their most advanced IR missiles, it would only be fair to add western equivalents for the sake of game balance.

so its possible to make suggestion for upgraded r27t ir seeker

u sure can
