Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Yup definitely, but afterwards maybe (though unlikely knowing Gaijin, they always go for the most famous vehicles for hype)

Basically the GE engines give worse non-AB performance but higher AB performance compared to the PW engines.

Overall the GE engines are better since realistically you want better performance from the AB.

True, but they’re still very comparable so I don’t really see the point of copypasting a second F-16V just for a tiny sidegrade

Over time it’ll likely be expanded upon I bet

I’d imagine Gaijin will stick to the 0 Blocks wherever they can. I hope though that they do add the twin seat versions and folder them with the single seat version for some variety. Those will perform a bit worse due to being heavier but again will offer some variety.

J15 or su35 i call it

Yeah I’d bet on an update with F-15EX, Su-35S and Su-35
I dunno about J-15, I expect them to use it as a filler in a smaller update

I don’t think they are gonna give the non-AESA Typhoons better weapons.
The AESA ones are gonna get the new missiles, the non-AESA ones are gonna stay as they are and Gaijin is gonna add earlier variants as premiums, SQVs and/or event vehicles.

There will most likely be a later variant of each Typhoon at some point though

Something I was thinking about recently was the addition of a toggle/modification that lets you turn your plane into a twin seater if you want, without needing to research and spade a whole other aircraft…
But adding vehicles does allow more of one vehicle in a lineup I guess, so might be good for ground

What the heck is a Su-30MKI-2 and why would the Su-30MKI be 14.7?

If you were going for the Super Sukhoi, I’d get it, but the regular Su-30MKI is not 14.7 material lol

Also, I’m fairly sure the MiG-29UPG and K would be better than the MiG-29SMT, so they should realistically be 13.7

The HAL Tejas as an event plane is just peak, I can absolutely see that happening lmao

I think something like that could work (albeit the devs would need to put work into it) for different blocks.

Instead of having to grind out the same plane but with slight differences you could choose the block and the systems/weapons/BR would be adjusted to what you choose but limit it to the same model. So F-16A/B you would be able to change between Blocks 1->25 and the C/D Blocks 30 → 52.

There’s a lot of weird stuff going on here… why out of all planes would you make the Tejas event? What variant even is it? Why are there two Su-30MKIs? Why is the LUSH Sea Harrier not called LUSH?

Yeah would allow so much diversity without a ton of copypaste

It’s hard to read, but I believe it says Sea Harrier FRS.51

Just a second MKI I chucked in because it’s something I can see Gaijin doing after they run out of ideas.

Yeah I pretty much just blanked on the BR’s and put any old thing in since you can’t leave it blank.

Yeah Tejas as an event reward and the FRS.51 as squadron. All domestic/British modified designs go outside of the TT and the Russian bought aircraft + Rafale as the researchable additions.

The 51 is originally just a FRS.1 with magics. Only the upgraded version is 13.0 worthy, and that’s the LUSH upgrade

That’s true, but unless they plan to add both an early and a late one they don’t really need to add the LUSH part to the name

Can we not normalize locking unique planes behind events please? Also 14.7 would be the lowest version if they add early/late versions, as the early MKI was basically a SM

I’ll be honest I made that in like 5 minutes I just remembered the FRS.51 and chucked it in.

Was more of a joke really but looking back at it it seems like something Gaijin themselves are probably planning.

Understandable
