Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

7% more dry power is not that much tbh

that’s less of a difference than you get from it being stock vs spaded

Its more that in combination with the lighter airframe. So at the very least it’ll fly like the 9.12a/9.13 but should have a touch extra thrust to help out as well. It is heavier than the 9.12a though. This whole time ive been more referring to the mig29m that the mig29k was derived from. The mig29k is heavier due to the navalization of the plane.

you can try to downplay 7% all you want, but I NOTICE the difference between not having compressor and having it… that is less than 7% thrust improvement by far.

Hey, that sounds genuinely interesting! The day we get a devblog or announcement about it, i’ll definitely get my USSR naval fighter line up to date.

Despite the poor quality, it’s written “Р-27ЭП” on the one in the middle.

You can also distinguish the R-27EA from the ER by looking at the nose cone, it’s much more pointy.

that would be R-27EP?

Yep

You could give Italy the Somali hunters

now what’s that?

I know ER/ET and EA makes sense too but EP?

Anti Radiation, for AWACS I believe

Ah so a way to make the old useless missiles useful again

It would be like after a ban wave with all the complaining threads being made

As far as I understand it’s intended to destroy targets with active interferences (for example such as AEW&C planes). It has a maximum range of 110 km.

22 hours until teaser?

i mean i would not mind it but i doubt

I doubt we will begin with a teaser… normally there’s a few Dev Blogs before that- specially since the day after the teaser there’s a Dev Stream + Server, but there’s been zero buildup for that.

I would say;

December 6th (tomorrow): Dev Season begins
December 12th (next Tuesday): Teaser
December 13th-17th (next Friday): Dev Server
December 20th-23rd (following week): Major Update release
