Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion (Part 1)

Day 2 of asking for the Ascari

You buy update chests and when you open them you get skins or, if you are lucky, a vehicle; now, if you do not want the skin or already have the vehicle, you can go to the Workshop tab, select the update from which you opened the chest, and exchange the skin or vehicle for two tickets (a vehicle would give you 100 tickets); once you have enough tickets, you can use them in the Workshop to buy another update chest and try your luck again.

Ohhh okay I was unsure on how it worked thanks

the weapon system itself is in service tho

which isnt the case for the MICA NG
and currently we dont even know if there is a radar guided variant of the mica ng

we have only seen an IR guided one

it’s just going to be like the 1990s except the other way around

in the 1990s EM was tested first and IR afterwards, with entry in service a few years later
I assume it will be IR first for MICA NG, and EM a few years later, wouldn’t be surprised to see a first test of the AESA variant late this year or in 2027

in any case a radar variant is confirmed to be developped

but implementing it now would be useless. Meteor and MICA IR will be here in the meantime, and i’m not expecting the first one before a while

CM-400 is not a ALBM

F-15EX devblog today, I know it

Thanks for chiming in, I do understand that the plan was already there, it just feels like an unfortunate choice in retrospect.

It’s too bad that it took so long for Indonesia to get their Rafales in real life, as I feel one of those would have been a much better addition for Japan than the Su-30MKM, but it is, what it is.

I do wonder though, why was the A-4PTM chosen, wouldn’t the Indonesian A-4E be able to carry Bullpups and even GBU-8s?

The PTM is a slightly more unique modification and helps fill the intended BR slot better. The Indonesian A-4E hasn’t been ruled out, nor does the PTM prevent it. Just we wanted to expand this part of the tree first.

awesome to see the F-102 engine changes go through

now it’s just the missiles left and it may actually be a decent aircraft

Is there any update on reports about the missing ballistics computer for the PTM?

The ballistics computer for the air to air rockets would be nice to have as well

That’s something that would be nice to see in general, as it would help the F-89D as well

It doesn’t appear to have been forwarded yet, so there are no updates to provide for now. We will check it out a little later.

the F-89D needs its actual radar system first, and while I would love the rocket computer on the 102, it needs other things a lot more, such as proper missiles and its IRL radar chaff resistance

The F-89D has a working radar in-game though

Or is it missing some functionality?

Will the ECM capability feature is going to be added infuture updates this year? for all aircrafts that has them historically?

it is missing an incredible amount of functionality, it’s supposed to be closer to the F-102 radar than what it is now, the report was accepted three years ago…

I think I finally recognize your name from NT. You’re an F-15 stratobomber right?
