I mean, not really.
“Copy-Paste” for one person, is an entirely new vehicle to another.
I’d imagine a very small amount of players have 3-4+ trees fully researched that would make these “copy-paste” vehicles an issue.

Japan and U.S are my go-to trees for air, probably spent about a third of my time flying air sim in japanese aircraft (average battles being ~90 minutes).
I absolutely hate having china either on my or the enemy team. Given the choice, I will join a lobby that does NOT have china in it.
Why? See soviet aircraft as america, expect hostile and fly in to engage. Oh, it’s a friendly. I just wasted a lot of time, fuel and energy chasing a Tu-4 in my banshee/sabre.
Why? See american aircraft as japan, expect hostile and fly in to engage. Oh, it’s a friendly. I just wasted a lot of time, fuel and energy chasing a B-25 or PB4Y in my Ki-43.
Why? See a P-38 lightning at altitude flying my corsair, its iconic silhouette reassuring me my six is covered and I go engage the unknown below me, giving up altitude and exposing my six to the P-38. Suddenly, my plane disintigrates as the P-38 murders me because it turns out it was an enemy!
Why? I see a sabre in my sabre/banshee. I think it’s a buddy. I now get lit up and destroyed because there’s 1 sabre on the enemy team amongst a bunch of migs, while I have to ID a sabre against a sabre without giving up my advantage to face check.
I guess at least the korean war is horribly ruined enough already for copy paste, a bit more won’t make it that much worse.

Oh my God, now the Japanese faction has become T1. A version has gone the way of someone else’s for several years.
Another high effort addition that will surely improve the japanese tree…
That’s what I want to ask. There are completely fake F-16AJs in this game, but why can’t the real F-16A MLU?

I can’t wait to fight another copy+paste aircraft that shouldn’t have an airspawn. Now 5(?) nations have one, and it’s only going to get worse.
The last thing WT needs is more subsonic all aspect missile slingers. Also that’s mild copy+paste.
I can’t be bothered to read the rest since no unique airframes came. Overall fairly disappointing and boring.

20G missiles with mediocre range and horrible flare rejection backed up by no gun, this is a non-issue

Safe to assume they will be up at 9.7/10.0, where vehicles like Yak-38 and Su-25 with better missiles exist
I agree, remove air spawn move it to 7.3.
@Stona_WT I would like to ask when the Chinese F-16 MLU will be able to meet reality? I need a reasonable answer.
@Smin1080p_WT it’s yet another F-16 with AIM-120s. This one is a Block 15 ocu not so different from the ADF. The mystery remains as to why the Italian ADF is denied its historical Air to Air armament.

9P4 means 9L but less capability
Aim-9P4s are better than regular R-60s due to them being all aspect.
My guess is that it will be 10.3, but I could see 10.0 being a possibility.
Keep it at 7.7. If the Me-262s can’t move to 6.7, that shouldn’t move to 7.3. It outperforms them in every way except dive speed and energy retention.
I hope you are right.
I really want to enjoy my banshees and sabres, but the korean war brackets feel like a bloody hodge-podge of time travelling aircraft, copy paste and I really don’t want it to get even worse with addition of high power missiles just because “it’s a strike plane” and “no guns”

how about not adding any more low br all aspects please, compression is already horrible and every update makes it worse
Why don’t many people come out now to talk about the so-called “factional characteristics”? Why are you happy to accept C&P again? Most people are rejoicing, why don’t they object at this time?

Very fine addition to the game!

Wait, F16 + python 3, does it still get 9Li/M though.
I hope they get rid of these vehicles soon, as long as suitable replacements arrive. For the R2Y2s, this certainly is the case. An F-84, two Alpha jets, and a Corsair II are certainly enough to replace these aircraft entirely. For the AJ, I can see why they’d wait until the F-2 so that this new Thai F-16 fills the gap between the F-4s and the F-2. I hope the AJ goes when the F-2 comes though.
Other blueprint vehicles should go as well, like the Kronstadt, and the Amagi was a mistake to add to begin with. Japan already has plenty of battleships, they didn’t need a fake one like the USSR did. Probably too new and too much labor to remove though… :/
Edit: Honestly, the USSR didn’t really even need to Kronstadt to begin with either, they had those former Italian battleships that they recently added to the Soviet tech tree anyways…
