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

Gaijin should give it AIM-260 and AIM-120D3

There’s like little to no info on the AIM-260, do we even know how much it weighs or its dimensions?

We also don’t know what kind of motor it uses, how would Gaijin add a missile with no info?

I’m sure they can figure out some solution

The solution might just be adding aim-174b to super hornets and calling it a day.

16 AIM-120D-3’s

wouldnt be DOA for air to ground also

That wont be as good as the Meteor

AIM-174B outranges the Meteor pound for pound, but yes it would be on a lackluster platform. Still would qualify for a missile of the same class though.

Is the D3s with the expectation it’ll have more range? Cause afaik still nothing explicit about D3 having more range in terms of primary sources.

Would fit Gaijin’s MO. They do have a weird obsession with the Hornets.

AMRAAM F3R is AIM-120D-3:

Yeah but that range doesn’t really matter in game. Maneuverability is more important than range in WT maps

Is there any air launched variant of the AMRAAM-ER?

Gaijin: “Give it more battery time”

To some extent yes, but no one is probably realistically going to expect a missile to have shot them down while they’re still 80km from the targets.

the SM-6 is a fairly maneuverable missile

only proposals

inherently not true but it doesn’t really matter in most contexts

The most air-to-air missile loadout (16).

(Also, hopes and prayers)

Get ready for a reskinned AIM-120D with a slightly higher loft
