Next Major Update - "Eagle's Shadow" Rumour Roundup & Discussion (Part 2)

Please, fix this, as well as the missing spall liners…

All MBTs deserve to be depicted properly; but Challenger 2, as one of the main contenders of the modern world, specially doesn’t deserve to be dragged down as much as it still is.

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping, but I forgot to ask a question related to the Battle Rating changes: since almost all of the anti-air vehicles at 12.0 are going up to 12.3, what will happen to the “free vehicles”? Will it get increased to 12.3 aswell ?

Gotta love it when real life experience doesn’t qualify. Wish they had a form/signed thingy that would allow an actual subject matter expert to testify to certain attributes.

Currently that’s not the case. Simply its the conclusion reached by the devs after reviewing the video. As mentioned, its recommended to make a new report with all of the updated information.

The replenishment time itself for the first stage should be a separate report.

I am unsure how to make an updated report when we have not been told what apparent “contradictions” were found in the documents and videos provided.

As you said yourself, it is unlikely we can source these full documents in a reasonable way for the report, but we may be able to provide some other information to assist the developers.

hey idk if this is the right spot to post this but could someone with some knowledge abt the mig 35 take a look at this: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-35D Blue 154 Technology demonstrator (9-15D): Showing off the Fulcrums potential - #53 by Akihi501

Important point;

The BRM’s reply asserts that the charge came from the forward bin, fair enough the bin in technically cannot be identified only because it is not in view.

Want to know how to prove it’s at the rear?

It’s the LDT. It can’t traverse!

Here’s a small video showing a charge being loaded directly from the rear hull bin.

Again, this Loader is undergoing training so is not focused on speed, only on carrying out correct drills as taught.

Suffice to say I’ve been in the Gunner’s seat of CR2 and put rounds down range, and even when performed at full speed the LDT drills are much slower as they are accentuated for training purposes. The real thing is much faster and a “good” loader can put three rounds in the air simultaneously on a long-range HESH engagement.

Its honestly a shame that ex-tankers giving personal accounts in good faith cant give pointers to the devs

uhh a bit late for that no?

What is your foughts on F-15E AESA (Or RMP) and F-15EX? I see a lot of players like me want the EX but i feel like we will get the F-15E AESA instead cause devs will not give us a plane with 16 missiles and better F110-GE-129 engines (you can find it in game on F-16CM btw) on the same BR with F-15C GE (i suppose 16 missiles cause F-15C GE got 12 missiles through AMBER racks and on the same pilons as EX so its possible. We deffinetly will not get 22 missiles cause its use not confirmed and its TOO powerfull for the game).
F-15E AESA at the same time is kinda good if we will close our eyes on 8 missiles. It have the same radar as the EX wich is AN/APG-82(V)1 and the same electronic warfare system which is EPAWSS.

Those are MRML. AMBER is non functional IRL and not in the game.

Both could come at any time. Everyone hopes/copes for F-15EX this update though.

Oh, well, maybe i mixed it up in my head. But 16 missiles are still possible though

regardless, this is an easy balancing decision that gaijin could do to allow it to be in the game. just give it the 12. the sm2 has better engines than even these new ones would be, and especially the radar, so it’s not like those would make it better than current top tier.

Tbh, i dont think it will be too OP or “will broke the game and balance” cause we already have Su-30SM2 with 14 missiles, J-16 which is very fast and hes missiles are closer to AIM-120D’s and we will probably get the Su-35S also. I mean EX will more powerfull obviously but hey, can US mains be happy once?

Obviously, the proof used to give it that also applies to the F-15EX (if whoever made the original report switches some words around, that is)

Despite this, weight is still a thing and the F-15EX would still have much better flight performance compared to it. You don’t exactly see Su-30SM2s flying faster than F-15E’s currently, do you?

I think we would get things like EA-18G instead of 5th gen in December update

I don’t think many nations have dedicated EW (fighter) aircraft outside of USA, UK, China

Yeah, Su-30SM2 and even Su-35S is no match for F-15EX and even F-15E speed, i think EX in proper configuration will outrun even EF2K or Rafale. In terms of max speed even old F-15E is still unbeatable in game (J-16 is capped at mach 2.1) so EX will be crazy

My bet is EW and missiles like AIM-9X, IRIS-T and R-74 in this update, as well some 4.5 gen fighters and F-35 spam in the New Year update, i literraly think the 5th update of this year will beat the record of copy-paste planes in one update of good old days when F-16 was added to the game. Can’t wait too grind 3 “tottaly different” F-35A/B/C in US tech tree to move on to the other nations and do the same thing xD
