The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 02.03.2026

Not this major, that much is for certain.

We would certainly not be giving the next generation of IR missiles to just one or two aircraft and nothing else, particularly one of the jets that is one of the current top performing aircraft in game as it stands currently. This type of thing comes for multiple nations at once, like the FOX 3 launch.

Possible it will do at some stage yes, however this one was mainly done for the Hungarian modification where they removed the lower gear doors.

Hello Smin, I got two questions for you.

  1. Suggestion reports for next-gen IR missiles such as ASRAAM and IRIS-T previously were shot down because the game was nowhere near ready for it. Is the game now in a place where we can make suggestion reports for aircraft to have next-gen IR missiles?

  2. We’re getting pretty late into the development season and players have had a chance to test and play the AIM-120D base model. Multiple feedback shows that users are making statements for the AIM-120D as being copy paste AIM-120C and generally a disappointment. Is there any consideration to replacing this missile with the AIM-120D-3?

Make suggestions as much as you want, but know that they will be added when NECESSARY and when the developer sees fit. That’s not going to happen right now

will the f-106 recieve the aim 26b this update? there was a bug report for it acepted

No, and there is no need to make suggestions for them until such a time when they arrive, just like it was not for FOX-3. Its well known what they are.

AIM-120D is the planned variant for this update. As of right now, it hasn’t even been fully introduced to the game currently. As mentioned previously, feedback will be followed, as well as the performance stats of the missile.

Interestingly, it was accepted for Fox-3 a year before its introduction.

just watch the list of all issues and you ll understand

Where can I find the list?

just type “jas39e” on gaijin bug report site

F2A’s won’t be moved above 13.7 the engine so slowly, they will add F15JSI maybe into Japan

if so why does it have the range of the D-3

They have the same max range, probably sharing the same battery. D-3 should only be just a little bit faster to target

This type of thing comes for multiple nations at once, like the FOX 3 launch.

You’ve just alerted the horde that will claim that “Akshually F-14 was mid and didn’t make a difference at all”

Don’t ask for just the wheels, not that they just do that and not completely new Fw 190/Ta 152 3D models, which are more needed than just some minor rework.

There is a list in the JAS39E thread here on the forum:
