The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 16.03.2026 (Dev Server is CLOSED)

It’s probably to fill the air gap but 12.3 without IRCCM missiles while the F18 is the same BR but better in every way lol. Yeah it’s kinda worthless like the US model

It’s just copy paste for the sake of copy paste

Gotta get that vehicle count up

Oh wow another 12.3 F-16 with 6x9L and crappy mavs… the CTRL, C and V keys must be steaming hot at this point

Okay I will say this, it is better than the Gripen A for CAS but worse for CAP. Yes the A has better AGMs but you get more with the F16

Also Pingvin is pretty silly so it’s a win for me, I tried to get a kill on a plane on a runway with the Pingvins when I was spading the AM so I’m definitely gonna try with this

Especially since the Pingvins don’t use a missile pylon so you can have full missiles just like on the AM.

I do wonder if the F16 was added since the low BR vehicle they said probably won’t be added for the update

Tbf I do kind hope that when we get next gen IR missiles that the AM gets its A2G and A2A IRIS-T missiles since that’s unique to that vehicle especially the A2G mode for them.

And then gaijin just adds a Danske F16AM, yes we don’t use Pingvin but it will fill that 13.7 gap again while allowing the AM to be more unique while not really losing anything.

Hold up when was this said??? All I remember was the statement from Oxy during the dev stream

Smin was asked about the progress of the low BR vehicle and stated it would likely not arrive for the update

Does make me wonder what it is if it’s that difficult to model, though I have my Krone on the L-30
RDT_20260305_1407528233694411626326663

This is the only thing that would make sense to be difficult to model, anything else I refuse to believe is that difficult

Apologies planned but unknown if it will arrive

Possible, although this monstrosity would deserve its own patch ; )

LMAO! What an abomination! I WANT IT! 😂

The ability to just go from like 42kph to 70kph is very powerful. It’s so silly I hope it’s a TT since it fits more of the event theme but God I want everyone to experience that type of silly ability

If it comes I doubt that it will have the ability sadly… All of the EBR Panhards should also get sth similar but haven’t gotten it in years

I see no major bug fixes for Israel. I do see non-historical nerfs.

You are just going to add Greek Leo’s and call it a day.

Less people play Israel because you refuse to fix its major bugs.

I don’t trust you to implement the Eitan properly after you botched the Namer implementation so badly.

Once again Israel suffers.

Same exact load out as the Gripen C

The Merkavas and Namers still have rubber-fabric armor…

And they can’t even at least do quick and cosmetic fixes like giving them a camouflage resembling their main service one or giving the Merkavas their chains so they feel more accurate xD

That’s amazing lol, I always thought it was a manual thing that you had to park and put it on stands for

JAS39D missing pylons for guided bombs.

Community Bug Reporting System this was accepted 2 years ago with a picture of a Gripen D with 2 belly mounted GBUs. This change could make the D variant more special and adding up for the missing cannon.


(I also found this pictures online)

I hope somebody will add more info into this topic.
