Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion (Part 2)

I’d cry, but I remain copeful.

How so?

The clarifying information here from @l2ulan is a start.

We have passed all the commentary on to the developers already, however since we are right in a major update cycle, its extremely unlikely they will be able to do much soon. Hence why a detailed and comprehensive report with all context and information would be more beneficial.

Just want to add a quick reminder that this topic is for the next update and not history or politics of any nations past or present.

Yes, sorry. I just saw and misinterpreted Pipimer’s comment but we cleared it up. Cheers

Part of the difficulty in reporting vehicles that are still in service is that sources are unusable due to their live security classification.

I think F-15EX (whose devblog is today, i know it) would definitely be a top 3 jet in the game, behind EFT, rafale and Su-30sm2, acceleration as fast as F-15E, FM better then F-15E with AESA radar, 12 missile and spherical RWR and MAW (maybe). It would also be good in CAS and NE

Where is that from?

Same question

Top 10*

Everyone knows Su-30SM2 (and later Su-35) is tied for first, AESAphoons (British and Italian) 3rd, Rafale and J-16 tied for 4th.

12-16 missiles*

MAW is a hard maybe xD

And yes, much bombs.

Why would J-16 be better then it? Also who is second then?

Snail Mine server, the same “guesser” who gave us a bunch of previous update guesses and the big guesses for the year back at the end of December.

There is no “second”, because they (Su-30/35) would both be tied for first.

PL-12A >= AIM-120D. The difference in performance even from a low energy state is really good if you compare both.

FM wise F-15EX beats it in acceleration and top speed but only because it’s hard capped at Mach 2.1 for whatever reason (stat card itself shows a max speed of ~2500 km/h or Mach 2.3)

depends…

O-I was hard denied literally weeks ago. Ho Ris have just been removed and the old removed German vehicles are still highly requested. I highly doubt that such a fast pivot to paper, without much longer laying of groundwork, is actually in the cards here.

You’re attributing this list to a reputable source of guesses or I would dismiss it out of hand, but even so, this one is hard to believe.

For example, Switzerland: while there has been some pushback, it’s hardly been enormous. And how can there be pushback against a map of occupied France when 1. There has been no public discussion of such between the devs and the community, 2. We already have several maps in the game that essentially feature occupied France (Normandy, Fields Of Normandy, Maginot Line)?

I don’t know Rick…

I see, also where would German aesa typhoon lie in the list then?

What the hell is the fr*nch thing about…

Su-30SM2 and Su-35 share exact technologies. Su-35 should have lower drag, but it wouldn’t matter since the difference is small

Kidding, probably tied with Rafale & J-16 tbh.
