“Air Superiority” Update trailer

doubt that they’d take too long to add the hornet, im guessing its coming in a couple of updates, most likely the second half of next year which will probably come with the addition of Fox 3 missiles

F/A-18A and its Canadian counterpart (before they were eventually upgraded) were only capable of firing Sparrows, not AMRAAMs. They’d be pretty perfect for 12.3. I definitely think they will be added before 5th gen missiles like the AMRAAM, and fully anticipated them being the main draw of this update (at least before the leak list came out). If not this update, probably the next. Especially as Britain needs a top tier fighter or two (Indian MiG-29/29Ks and CF-18?)

The Challenger II whatever for rank VIII ground. As much as I am enthusiastic to see these vehicles, specifically the Gripen, I can’t help but say that now there’s more of a grind.

it does not have gen 3 thermals, better acceleration, L55A1 barrel/gun and most likley wont have anything that can beat DM73. 2A7V would still be better



The Gripen C has 8 hardpoints not only 6, why do i only see 6

you’re 100% right that britain needs a new top tier urgently, although i think that active radar missiles should be coming probably late 2024/early 2025 considering how fast things are going, with the time between the addition of the viper and the eagle being a year apart.

man, war thunder is really getting into ace combat type shit, and i dig it

I’d hope so

In theory, the chinese should also get flankers, at least in the shape of J-11’s. Although im pretty sure that the chinese air force did have some original russian flankers around, so idk.

Yea you’re right but i must be blind, i dont see the two on the fuselage

but A should also not carry Air to ground weapons, thats the E, the people behind the F-15 had the motto no pound for ground, so the F-15 E which is a Dual seater is the first with A2G weapons
so, gaijin is now making something up?

  • F-15Es are Dualseater as said, have all CFTs and are Dark grey in US use

Su-27SK (export of standard Su-27S) and locally produced licensed copy J-11, yes

No Fox 3s is disappointing.

they said britain will be getting a top tier jet. keep in mind, these trailers don’t show everything, so we won’t know what britain is getting until the dev stream.

It wasn’t intended for air to ground but could carry bombs, which not a lot of people know. This included GBUs though it needed buddy lasing. I think Israeli F-15As might have lase capabilities but idk

As i just saw a forum mod say,
“Keep an eye on the news”.
There might be still stuff in the works.

Russian mains are already crying about the T-90M being “ass” because “it’s not as good as T-80BVM”.

You could give these people the moon and it wouldn’t be enough.

Where are the fuselage hardpoints on the Gripen?
