Lmao, ye
I mean it was basically a late 2000s F-4, when the F-4F ICE came far earlier. I’m just surprised the Aim-9M was the latest variant of IR missile it used.
Cheetah is fun but it won’t really push the envelope, and CF-18 is going to be a little sad since I figure it would probably come out alongside the F-18C which is the same thing with better engines. Still it fills the “SPAMRAAM” niche perfectly and that’s not something you can really say for other domestic British planes at the point in time the game is at. As far as ARH-capable planes go I think what I would most like to see right now is the HAL Tejas. Funnily enough it uses the same radar as the Cheetah C but on a much better platform performance wise. As far as I’ve read the main ARH armament of six Astras is no joke. Plus it’s good indigenous representation for India rather than another MiG (though I’d contend that some of them would be pretty interesting). Unfortunately there are probably a lot of unknowns about the aircraft as it’s still in active service though that’s also true of some other planes we’ve gotten recently.

Yeah… Though im still holding out for a Hawk or Tornado Gr4 soon personally. Brimstones are the ARH I want to see added sooner rather than later :P
I personally do think that at least 1 ARH carriers at 13,3/13,0 should be given to every ingame nation to keep it balanced.
However I don’t really want to see more F-5s… They giving me PTSDs.

I mean it opens up the Singaporean advanced eagles as an option, or maybe the Saudi one.
Advanced Eagles 100% belong in US, being US developed and tested with US kit and on a US airframe
Also an extra advanced F-5 would be nice.
As far as I am aware. Thailand, Singapore and a few others are all intended as a mixed Sub-TT for Japan, That could also include South Korea as well for something like the K2.
I’ve basically accepted that the Singapore Hawker Hunter will end up on the Japanese tree now and so our last hope of a Hunter with CMs will be the Omani one.
Shame,
While your on the forums, do you have any tips for the f14a iriaf in sim? Also, is there any way to tell if my fakours seeker has locked onto something or if it’s just cruising?
And if there’s a way to tell target range on the f14
I have yet to use it in a sim match, but in the F3 I tend to just stick high and hunt things, run away if anything tries to attack me.
On the right hand side of some radars is a rnage indicator which will let you know if the target is within range of the missile. I dont know if the F-14 has that like the F3 does.
I think if the line of the radar panel goes from checkered to solid, the missile has gone active

Thanks, I’ll make sure to check if it has the range indicator
I’ll check for it. Is there no way to get a solid number for range though?
No, there isnt, you just eyeball it based upon the selected range scale

Ah ok, thanks. I wonder if there was a way to get a solid number irl, or maybe the radar operator was just trained to be really good at estimating it
im still waiting for the chinese MLU to get all the stuff it’s supposed to have (p much the same as the french mlu but with amraams)

Most HUDs should I think, but not modeled

Ok everyone, really sorry about the late reply, I poked the fighter mafia and got a little too silly so mods sent me to the timeout corner :(
Thanks for the Idea about the MiG-21, put that in.
Unfortunately for now the Derby + 9M combo is top tier for 4th gen planes.
I was thinking about adding the Hellenic ICE or whatever that weird Turkish thing is but since they are both better than the ICE I feel like a case could be made for 13.7, I was even I little skeptical adding the Kai ATDW but that was the only domestic option they had.
The 23-98 is a whole lot more famous (and cool) than the 21-93, I would be alright making an exception there ;)
Little F-5 PTSD there lol
Yeah they won’t be as scary in a M2K or F-16 but watch out for the Python 4s they can be a little pointy
We just gotta wait until they are far out of the meta and powercrept beyond belief lol
I’d really like to see Mirage, MiG-23 and both MiG-21’s

The Mirage is my fav just bc of the camo lol
Another for France would just to add 2 MICA-EM to the 2000D RMV as a Placeholder for the MICA-IR since they seem to find the -IR too OP
Unfortunately the pylons weren’t wired for EMs and the radar couldn’t guide it. As nice as that would be it just simply wouldn’t be real.
