Next Major Update "Sky Odyssey" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

It triggers me that there’s a Su-57SM without a Su-57S

there is no Su-57SM

its just Su-57, i hoped it was obvious that SM1T is a joke

That’s new, doesn’t really change it from being the worst 10.7 ifv

yet it doesn’t have any, im on live server

yesterday dev server didn’t have anything new for MK4 too

That explains why I didn’t find anything proper about it in the research I made a minute ago because of this.
And it also explains why Su-57SM1T sounded excessively stupid even for a sukhoi designation

Su-57SMTE with heated massage seats, 360 degree AESA radar, and an onboard laser to destroy ballistic missiles from 100km away

The “DA” was used for the air launched, so my guess its some air launched torpedo

My first ever post in the forums because I genuinely want to ask, why is Gaijin so adamant to adding the German uparmored Leo 2? Sweden has 3 of them, and Italy and Israel get versions of what Germany should’ve received (2A7+ and 2A6EX). Now Germany gets what is basically a downgrade to the 2A7V because the Leclerc turret armor is practically useless, and the EMBT gets a worse round. Germany has been waiting 3 years for something that is on par with the 2A7V so that the top tier lineup gets depth such as the case with Sweden and the Strv 122s.

I think the big thing was that it was an easy way to throw a bone to both trees

Germany hasn’t gotten a new MBT in 3 years, and France hasn’t gotten any new domestic ground designs in 10 months

EMBT components were mostly already modeled, and could be added to both trees

Unfortunately it’s not better than the existing Leclercs (IMO) and it doesn’t appear to be what most German players wanted

Though at the end of the day France has been so content starved I’m happy we got something that wasn’t just a copy-pasted BeNeLux vehicle

BVVD said in the stream that Germany might see this year a New Leopard with APS

Speaking of, wasn’t there mention of new wheeled vehicles for Russia?

No idea

Why does the J35J’s model have countermeasures dispensers like the XS but no countermeasures? Why do I have to be reminded of what I would desperately need but can’t have? Whyyyy

Su-57M is the same Su-57, but with AL-51 engines, the ones with flat nozzle, but for now, there is only one, but by the time of the 5th gen jets, probably there will be more

Currently there is only Su-57 in the air force,
the S means Serial,
M modernized.
They will call it modernized after serially installing new flat nozzled and increased thrust engines, but for now there is only one Su-57 with those engines, that’s why it can’t be called Serial

Could the F-89D get something like that as well?

yes

that is you claiming that about something that might happen in the future without any actual source

Just reported it :D

Spoiler

Community Bug Reporting System

Maybe there’s a tiny chance it will indirectly bring the idea to the devs that the J35J could have ahistorical countermeasures and cause them to decide to add those? Insane level of coping but yeah

yes and no

MRML was added like a week later on dev than EFT dual racks, and reports for it were denied in that time
