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

Technically they split the MiG-29s up to give one R-73. Nothingburger for most people who have finished grinding the tree

F4 December update probably

FA-50M will save Japan tree to #1:)

Probably yes

cooler f16 cant say its saving but sure would be cool

Not enough, imho. At least it lacks just sheer numbers of Brimstones and (and mostly) of GBU-53

In comparison to R-60M? Dont make me laugh. At least with it MiG-29 (9-13) have actually workable loadout and not “You got 2 good missiles, everything past that is lack or skill (mostly the skill issue on enemy’s part)”

IRCCM especially gate width is a bit glitchy right now but Ron_23 bug reported I saw and gajin plans to rework IR soon so hopefully that’s something we can expect to be more equal with the annoying shut off irccm

agreed. current top tier meta is rafale then j-16 then f-15 then eurofighter imo

su-30sm2/su-35 has too many drawbacks to be in top 5 imo

That is true, but a bit unrelated. Im just making a point that it took Snail forever to properly arm 9-13 and the move from R-60M to R-73 is not something small nor missile being (especially in comparison) “mediocre”

That’s how I see it :
This update : MICA IR to one of the 2 rafale (because gaijin wouldn’t add to both). December update new rafale F4 with Meteor exclusivity (because why not)

Gaijin master class in upsetting a player base part ???

Watch them not give Su-35S airbrake because it doesnt have it IRL and dont give any other means to slow down in air

Su-34: first time?

so Su35 will be a su30sm2 just lighting and a su27 body right guys so the same 120 gimbal just better airframe for BVR and drag

sort of the same side grade but more of a upgrade as f15EX I’m hoping

Maybe, but I won’t bet on that because it depends on too many decisions that Gaijin can make: adding new fox 2s, adding new fox 3s, adding late 4.5th gen now, adding it in december, adding 5th gen in december…
So for now I’m just gonna watch what comes this update, I’ll start expecting things only after the trailer of tomorrow

Doesn’t it get MAW and stuff too?

Dont remind me… but at least it bleeds speed by itself well enough to not be an issue (well… in a way)

Edit: speaking of… I wonder if we could get a more advanced Su-34 (do we even have the specs for the Algerian one?)

I think F15EX is PLANNED to have maws but some of them already have the place holders for MAWS and AN/ALQ-250

gets maws but less countermeasures (84 instead of 96)
so it’s a sidegrade
