Possible scenarios if the 4.5-generation fighter jets are released in September:

Russian Su-35s are equipped with R-77Ms, while Chinese Su-35s are equipped with R-77-1s. Chinese players requested the R-77M, citing technical feasibility, but the admin responded with “Not a bug.” Subsequently, a minor update significantly increased the flight drag of the R-77-1 and restored its grid fins. Dataminers discovered that the R-77M inexplicably had over a dozen extra kilograms of propellant. When players tried to submit an issue, the admin again responded with “Not a bug,” refusing to acknowledge the datamined findings.

If any of the above predictions come true, please remember to include this screenshot when submitting the issue.

(But also, technical compatibility isn’t always 100%, there are many aircraft that are capable of carrying some weapons but don’t have said weapons now. It might just be R-77-1 for Chinese Su-35 and J-16/15/10C has China’s PL-15)

Not likely to come.

Wouldn’t be too sure.

It’s the only Russian aircraft to have the next gen ARH missile. It’s not available on the Su-30SM2 (though, and I really hope I’m wrong, but gaijin might take liberties here)

We’ll also probably see the F-15EX and Advanced Eagle, Su-35, J16 And a later Gripen E

Same thing 🤓

I meant the F-15SA, the first Advanced Eagle and the F-15EX, the Eagle II
