Sea Harrier FA.2 located after F-4K Phantom FG.1 at rank 8 ?
You guess after JAS39C Gripen (SAAF) gaijin could add another fighter aircraft 12.7 ~ 13.0 BR before Typhoon F.2 this year ?
I expect gaijin consider Rafael Litening III replace Litening II and change radar to PS-05/A Mk.3 on JAS39C Gripen (SAAF) in first major update
I hope gaijin omitted Rb.74(M) on JAS39A Gripen because never access IR SRAAM with IRCCM but believe give Rb.99 (AIM-120) replacement Rb.71 (Skyflash)
Its also missing the standalone ESTL countermeasure pods with MAW and slave to MAW capabilities.

one thing about the FM that might sadly need a “nerf” is the ability to super cruise it has at the moment. if i remember correctly it cruises at mach 0.96 IRL and in game its about mach 1.05 or something like that (mach 1.05 at 5000m altitude, i might be wrong about this one i’m not sure).
Most likely as a Naval Fighter
it depends. We will likely get the Sea Harrier FA2 and the Tornado F3 AOP before Typhoon (both might be 12.7 due to AMRAAM). I can also see another CAS jet, like the Tornado Gr4 or Harrier Gr9A (either will be needed to maintain CAS as early Tyhpoons werent multi-role) So that is at least 3 “new” aircraft between now and Typhoon.
If they decide to leave Gripen C essentially “IR only” and not get AMRAAM and the Typhoon is serverely delayed. Then we might need something to fill the gap. CF-18 would be my bet. Though Im hoping it wont be needed
Clearly a strike jet :)
Britains next top tier CAS
Its been about what, 3 weeks and we still havent gotten any real answers to the books of evidence thrown at Gaijin?
They’re wrong.
We know they’re wrong.
They know they’re wrong.
They just don’t care.
1 tank loses the spall liner means they all do, sorry too strong to be left unchecked
Sea Harrier FA.2 it’s strike fighter
I guess Harrier GR.9A & Tornado GR.4 (12.0 & 12.7 BR) next attack aircraft toptier
“We dont believe”
Damn, facts dont care about beliefs I dont think
Dear god most glorious Otter,
I will make it known that I pissed myself laughing for a good 5 minutes a week after this was posted.
Here’s to the Chally 2 Mantlet, cheers
Eh variety would be awesome and guaranteed to be competitive as its american.
Only downside its making American mains mad unless they give us Indian stuff which would make the french russian mains mad
Except for the indian sea harrier that would be fun with magics and Derbys
Quite a few nations already gets American stuff (and have for ages now), the only time US mains really seem to get mad on this is when they end up receiving the worst possible variants of said plane while others receive slightly or just straight up better variants.
CF18 wouldn’t be better it would be around the same
Yea I know, that’s why I said what I said above i.e. I personally don’t believe US mains would get mad about the UK getting the CF-18.
Some will ive seen some that don’t even want a Finnish F/A-18 cause its American
True I shouldn’t actually make absolute statements like that, there will be some people who get mad about it just because, I would say the majority probably don’t care, the only time I personally have seen the majority actually seem to care is when another nation gets a variant that is more modern or considered to be “better”.
I had a hunch gaijin could add CF-18 (CF-188) & Finnish F/A-18 with Air-to-Ground armament newer F/A-18 from USN
Hello gentlemen.
First, I can’t talk about armor specifics. Even if it’s not technically classified, if it’s not available in the public domain I’m not going to talk about it. Actual protection is a closely guarded secret.
Second, Gaijin is a classic example of Dunning-Kreuger when it comes to modern armor and ammunition. Like everyone who has never seen the actual classified documents they have a very surface level understanding and an inability to accurately parse even the information available. In short. They think they know enough to make decisions when they do not. Dunning-Kreuger.
Third, the bullets are fake (Demarre is a very poor and inaccurate way to assess KE rounds). They load times for NATO 4 man tanks are fake (They admit to massaging load times for balance). So 1/2 of the issue is admittedly fake by Gaijin.
Given all of this. This whole protection debate is childish. The bullets = fake. The armor = limited understanding at best. Load times = fake. Their application of “realism” when it comes to armor comes off as childish at best and pernicious at worst. This is all silly. Just hubris on the part of Gaijin. They. Don’t. Know. What. They. Are. Talking. About. And they should know this.
I can’t really say anymore. I will just point you to the historical record where T-72/80/90’s can’t hold a candle to M1, Leopard II, Merkava, Challenger. Sure, training, variants, and such matter. But, I will also ask: IF a country can’t build a competitive computer, car, or airliner, why in the world would they make competitive Military equipment???
