Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion

Fake?

totally, they were inspired from a monk in Mount Athos that greats low flying jets with a flag
also here a similar ones WT Live // Camouflage by RelictusSeditio

If the datamine is true and we’re getting the triple pack with a premium Jagdtiger I am going to die from excessive joy

Puts the Jagdpanther battlepass in a whole new light too. Late war Germany eating good for real right now, amazing. Only thing missing now is a Jagdtiger with the Sla engine lol

I don’t see why not, I wouldn’t know the exact rules that the devs have around skins though.

Oh spicy.

Also curious who that 18D will go to.

My guess is Japan or Sweden

When it wants to actually fire…

ARH SAMs in general are in a pretty sad state, multipath, easy notching (making heli pretty much imune) inability to hit anything in a swarm of incoming bombs / missiles, etc.

IR ones aren’t much better, because of limited range, but at least they can hit things hugging the ground

Since it’s leaked to be a pack it would be a pretty save bet to assume it’d be a 12.7 9L+7P premium.

However if Sweden is getting the Gripen pack I doubt they would also get the 18D pack.

Yeah, it kinda depends on where the Gripen goes, but I can’t imagine the 18D going to any other tree

istg prem hornets need to be stop at this point on, if it’s for Japan I’d guarantee they’d disappointed with it and want something more local like F-4EJ Kai ADTW or whatnot, plus F-2A ADTW is already there, just not with Sparrow P

F/A-18D ATARS would be a nice unique addition but US is already crammed and C Early already there

Yeah, it would be nice to have more diversity when it comes to premiums

There’s no premium F-15 yet, for example, so a premium F-15J would be an option

A premium Mirage 2000 would also be nice

exactly, those F-15DJ could’ve be a way better addition, especially the ones that had aggressor liveries on

The 18D would offer a lot more CAS options than both a F-4EJ Kai ADTW and existing F-2A ADTW.

That would be the most important reason for adding the 18D premium to Japan. And we know Gaijin likes making premium planes with good CAS options.

Premium zombing goes brrrrrrr

Premium F-15 for France since we love getting american airframes in the french TT

Yep, alongside people buying a premium jet to stick in their GRB lineups, so they don’t have to grind to top tier air (yet) to get a high tier CAS plane.

There was a ton of demand for it earlier this year, but apparently it didn’t fit the requirements for a French premium and wasn’t being pursued

Hence why France ended up with an F-16

speaking of, Su-30MK2/MKK has been exactly like that, they have become like F-4S but unlike F-4S, they actually have a brain and multitasked

hate being swarmed by them
