It’s just that Gaijin’s decision making here doesn’t really make sense to me. They COULD do an early an late version, the early version lacking stuff like the countermeasures, uprated engines, and cosmetic things like the collision lights and then a late version with these things added. But instead we got this “almost late version but not quite”.
Idk, maybe there’s something in this for Gaijin that I’m not seeing.
It can get access to AGM-65 through the ICE upgrade.
ICE never happened, it was cancelled.
when has that ever stopped gaijin? Especially when there isnt much else to add in the BR range for germany
A-4E BR8.7
Alpha Jet BR9.0 - edit 8.7
I don’t see the logic here.
Plane should have been added 5 years ago. Kinda DOA now.
Edit: thanks for the update.
It was lowered to 8.7 on the dev server last I saw it
They are 8.7 now but they still are lacking in every other aspect except manuverability. Would they even be OP with like 2 Mavs?
The Alpha Jet A has 60 countermeasures;
Is it possible to have an engine modification in the modifications menu for the upgraded engines? Id much prefer that real modifications be in the menu rather than stock ‘penalties’ for stock engines.
Maybe upon researching the engine mod you get the new engines?
Also any hope for it to get aim 9js? Or B which ever it used that wasnt the L
Thanks for the good news guys. Looks like it might be worthy to spade then.
Anyone got cockpit screenshots? Wanna try it out in SB.
I don’t really see any reason to use this over the A-4E, as irrc it’s a lower BR(8.7 vs 9.0) while having guided munitions.
Similiar to the A-7, my favourite. I like it, thanks.

Awesome! I’m really stoked the Alpha Jet is being added, and with two variants, no less!
This reminds me. I’m not sure if Fuji’s T-1 or Kawasaki’s T-4 were capable of being equipped with viable weapons for combat, but if so, I’d sure love to see them eventually added to the Japanese aviation tech tree. 🤞
Alpha Jet A mod 1992+ is an option.
I also don’t want the current Alpha Jet to go to 9.3+ in BR when I already have CAS there but no CAS at 8.7.
At 8.7?!?
Oh yes, they would be overpowered.
A (questionable) Alpha Jet ICE would make sense at maybe 9.7, where e.g. the Swiss Hunter F.Mk.58 is with its mavericks. Higher (10.0, 10.3) would be more reasonable if it would get 9Limas.
But A-4N with 3 Mavs and 2 Walleyes is just fine at 9.3.
Thats where we should do the split BR between air and ground. We don’t wanna put 9Ls at 9.3/9.7, but it doesn’t deserve 10.3 in GRB
