Small BR change, the Belgian Gloster Meteor NF.11 moved up from 7.3 to 7.7. The 7.3 was a mistake that I overlooked when I added it.

Does someone know the estimated turn time of the schelde s21

Mainly depends on wing loading but i’m not expecting less than ~19.5 s

83

For the Dutch the F-84G Thunderjet could be added to the tree.

I’ve spent a lot of time reading and understanding the Tech Tree concept in War Thunder.

Over the past 12 years of playing, I’ve analyzed the game extensively and provided both short-term and long-term suggestions for improvements.

While I don’t have the expertise to create a game of this scale myself, I continue to offer ideas based on what I and many other players would like to see in War Thunder.

93

I’m glad for you, but then why resort to bots for writing.

94

Why are you being so negative towards my post, I’ve explained to you my logical response, even tried to make a funny reply… but you consistently continue to hinder the thread.

Please take this to DM, if you would like to continue your course of action.

95

+1 just for the D.23 Prototype!

Indeed, Belgium has a significant role in the history of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The F-16, developed by General Dynamics in the 60s and 70s, was built in Belgium and the Netherlands by SABCA and Fokker respectively under the Multi National Fighter Program (MNFP: Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands) concept
