Crazy.I will cry:(
Welp, guess next update can be safely skipped by Russian and Chinese mains. (Even more so since F-15E continue to dominate high altitudes and Rafale with Eurofighter gonna butcher lows)
They don’t want to do it for either israel or china, yet happily do it for france, strange don’t you think?
AASM as a well known and only thing on Rafale, it was planned with Rafale at same time for sure. While these are not, and you know how hard to make gaijin do something not planned, even it just need some easy Change in codes without new models, for example, TOR and HQ-17’s br change rather than buff it, not to say something needs new models.
Chinese C-701 and C-704 AGM version is not in popular, few people know it, understandable to some extent, but it is strange that AGM-142 is ignored.
I see no problem making the HQ-17 12.0 with rocket acceleration up to 950-1000 meters per second. Initially, the m1 Tor was wanted to be added with such characteristics, then it was understated. I do not know what is in the way now. It would be a great SAM for 12.0. And lowering to 11.3 is some kind of bad joke, I do not know how else to comment on it. Also, at the perfect time to add, they didn’t add the j-10b, it’s terrible. Disappointing Gajin . It’s one thing when they can’t figure out Russian fighters, because there are either the offspring of the crisis of the 1990s, when there was no funding, or completely modern aircraft. Another thing is China, which has interesting, beautiful, competitively capable aircraft that would look great in the game, but for some reason, it feels like they purposefully do not add.
well, better keep it in topic, HQ-17 can be discussed in it’s thread, I just make it a example here.
about J-10B
Considering how long we haven’t had new planes, we are getting 3 updates in a row, which China should have received during a large number of updates. Moreover, it is noticeable that they do not want to add aircraft designed by China. Export only.
not that long I think, Chinese air keep up with top update most of the time. 1 patch delay is normal.
by this logic, they also don’t want to add Ru designed aircraft, too.
If they added j-10b to me, I wouldn’t mind waiting for 2 patches before j-11b. We would have received a competitive fighter. And now we will play on 13.7 against the dominance of eurofighters, rafale and F-15E
I will not play ARB until the next update. I’ll buy myself an al-khalid for a ground tech tree, I’ll play trb for a month. However, I’m not sure how pleasant it will be, against the F-15E, Rafale and EF-2000
that’s how it comes all these years, some will get new meta things earlier while the others get later, so just avoid the top for some time
PS: if they suddenly add j-10b, I take back all the offensive words addressed to Gajin
Smin said nothing for China air this update.
This is why it’s important to have more than one tt, I’m going to be maining Italy this update probably or France.
I have a top tier Germany, but there is not even an F-4F ICE. And I have nothing to pump the EF-2000 with, there is no premium aviation of the 7th rank.
I mean, to be fair, J-10B nor J-11B would be fundamentally a game changers. First is “just” a better J-10A and second one, in the nutshell, is a Su-27SM with decent missiles. Just a more pleasant top tier while fending off monsters such as Eurofighter, Rafale and continued high altitude supremacy of F-15E
J-10B probably not change much, but J-11B will be much more better than old SU-27. If they make the WS-10 right, it will be as powerful as F-15 in high altituade.
That is depends on which variant Snail planning to add. Id say there’s no reason for them to no do “the funny” and add initial batch with Russian Saturn AL-31 engines
this will be not fun. but considering that they already overrated top flamkers, it’s not that beyond expectations.
Gszabi said on MTG Discord that there is still a chance, but a very slim one.
