@Smin1080p_WT is there any chance we see the AIM 120D on the Gripen E? i feel like it would give it a bit of a slight boost in range since it cannot get the speed that fast as other top tiers, especially since the 120D has a longer burn time. I’m not saying the 120C isn’t enough however it would be nice to see. That’s if it is possible or maybe will be considered, Correct me if i’m wrong on this tho. I don’t think this would technically cause an imbalance or atleast how i see it.
I’m pretty sure the C5 and D are functionally the same, except that the D gets GNSS and no gimbal limits, burn time and therefore range should be the same.

You see lomger battery life = more range.
Since now your missile can free fall through the air for longer once the engine dies out

Forgot about longer battery
D is now heavier than the C5, aka worse turn performance. Its really starting to look dire for the D. Wonder if the other factors will make up for its shortcomings

If I had nickel for every time Gaijin released AMRAAM worse than the 120A/B, id have two nickels.
Which isnt a lot but its weird it happened twice.
AMRAAMs are evolving, just backwards, which sure is thrilling news for everyone not using them since the aircrafts with 120Ds will be off worse in average ARB situation.
Which is simply, lol.
Cant wait for meteor to come only to end up being somehow even worse than 120D.

Any difference on J-15T? Did the new 88A AGM get the IR seeker instad of TV copypasted from base 88?
no r-77?
Yes R77. 8 of them.
nothing so far. Nothing interesting for it in the datamines as well.

There is an absolute shitton of buffs for the Derby ER in the datamines. Almost looks like it received a dual pulse rocket motor on the dev

no KABs on the M too so a little less CAS load
Still waiting and hoping against hope we get a change to the GBT 155 rate of fire.

While you’re at it, could we get the brenus era fixed? Maybe even add a customizable 20mm belt which could contain: ap, sapcbc, apds and even apfsds?
As a tradeoff for the 20mm autocannon buff you could nerf the survivability by adding the 20mm’s ammo in the damage model

Impossible, but I understand the sentiment xD
