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

Even with multiple spawns, there will be important gaps, that absolutely have to be filled

Post upgrade config might be researchable vehicles

For british tech tree to rank VI

Germany tech tree no Swiss BAE Hawk

Saab J35 for foreign operator only integrated internal countermeasures ?

Similar to RAAF CA-27 Mk.31

you need an AA, a plane, a tank and maybe a support vehicle of similar br in a line up ?

That’s absolutely manageable, even for most minor trees to be standalone.

If there’s big BR gap in between (usually 2.0 br max either way), so what ?

It causes issue in a line up setup because your -2.0BR vehicle won’t perform, but if you don’t need it in the first place…

Most gaps these days aree usually AAs i’d say, and i’m not sure one can say the copy-paste and continued vehicle-flation of these past years does anything to fix it

F-15EX devblog today, i knowwww it

In most cases you’ll want some variety in your line-ups and at higher BRs it’s good to have a gun SPAA and a SAM in the same line-up.

Just a medium, a SPAA and a plane tends to be not enough, even if you can spawn them more than twice.

he probably meant F-102, and not it was a not post upgrade configuration as the Greek one had AIM-26B

Day 11 of waiting for Cypriot sub tree

Are kills/death from NE shown in service record?

A lot of people expected the J-16 to release alongside the Su-35/F-15EX, which are expected to come in either this update or the december one.

What if they released the J-16 this update because China is also getting the Su-35 at the same time as Russia?

F-15EX confirmed

Yes but all J35F and onwards are capable of mounting the countermeasure pods, so it is a matter of choice after F-5C and F-5A getting countermeasure pods

Good ol’ selective realism

Su-35/F-15EX > J-16 in terms of hype.

All westerners see is a heavily modified Chinese Su-30, no different to what the Indians are doing to theirs

Su-35 is widely cited to be Russia’s most advanced multirole fighter, same with the USA’s F-15EX. Of course, there is a chance China also gets Su-35, but I don’t think it’ll be in the same update since they already have J-16 and wouldn’t really bring anything new besides Kh-38 (if you’re into that GRB stuff)

China could really use some actually good top tier CAS for GRB. Especially something with good AGMs, which China severely lacks (KH29TE are okay ish but shorter range, KD-88A are just mediocre and not even worth thinking about)

Don’t get me wrong, the J-16 is decent-solid, but it’s still a tier below most of the other 13.0 jets in GRB

Other variants as well, MB-339A, K, C, CD, maybe some other.

More variants of MB-326 and M-346 would be also nice.

C-704KD could help chinese CAS. It’s going to be similar to AGM-65 in terms of speed.
There is a LS-6 variant with a rocket booster which gaijin can add

tbf most antirad warheads are slightly different from normal blastfrag in the terms that they have a shit ton of fragments/sub projectiles in them. Also welcome to the world of chinese export missiles
