Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Waiting on battle rating reviewed changes. I am expecting atleast 1-2 changes regarding the major controversial changes that result in compression.

Hopefully it isnt delayed.

I don’t know the first major update 2026 new content for USA tech tree receive another aircraft rank VIII, or rank V return

No one knows for sure but my personal guess would be either another F-15 or at least one of the F-16. I can’t see them adding another F/A-18 without running into same 4 aircraft issue again

I’m gonna guess either the F-14D or the F-16C PoBIT (+ F-16V for other nations). I’m moreso leaning towards the F-14D though based off of Smins comment about something “long anticipated” coming since the F-14D is one of the most voted suggestion on the forums and has been asked about for a long time now.

Wouldn’t be surprising but then at least for me if what staff says is true and 5th gen isn’t for this year god forbid they are for rank X

Who knows, maybe US top tier ground finally gets the spotlight again after years of US top tier air taking most of the resources except for some scraps.

Typical of Gaijin, hell bent on moving the F-15As down while not adressing the elephant in the room that is the premium Su-30s STILL ruining that BR range.
Well done, absolutely in touch with reality ( if anyone’s missed it, the updated list’ll come online soon)

Well, seems like the BR changes will be happening this week.

Unless I’m blind, it seems like they have changed their mind on the Super Hornet and added some other BR changes.

Super hornet not going up is a bit silly but the most silly thing is how they refuse to decomp the current BR. 14.7 is barely any change at all

Russian T-80UD going to 10.7 GRB according to, ahem “predicted”, BR changes!

An absolute shocker given that they’re still catering to the pepegas in their premium Su-30s

Clearly the current SU-30 prems are really bad so they need to sit blatantly under BRed otherwise how would the poor snail make money?

And welp, F-15As have gone down to 12.7 in Datamine Changelog in WIP(Not live yet)

But i hope this is old changes

Here’s your RB “prediction” list yall:


Ouu- 35 sec reload for FV4005. That’s a nice buff to it.

thats for Arcade only i think :D

scratch that, just noticed it’s paired up with the 2S38

Still no change to the F-35 for ground RB is so braindead lmao. Same BR as PD phantoms with skyflash and the same number of bombs

Since it aint officially updated yet watch them pull a “gotcha” moment right before and move it up.
What did I just say lol, it aint gonna happen cuz cash money pepegas

Doubt it, they are a poor indie dev team

Same goes for the T58, 8.7 is not enough
