Recently, weโve seen a trend of more nations receiving top-tier premium aircraft equipped with Fox-3 missiles. The only nations still waiting are Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Israel.
What do you think their premium aircraft will be? Iโd be interested to hear everyoneโs predictions and the reasons behind them.
Yup. though I wouldnt necessarily mind too much in the Typhoons case, because they did skip essentially a generation for all 3 nations but they arent worth adding to the TTs.
And they were actual aircraft operated by the main nations. The C&Ps like the F-18s and F-16s suck only because they are lazy options that those nation dont natively operate
Thatโs probably the one that interests me the most because I really like legacy airframes. By the time something like this is added, I hope the Su-30 has moved up in battle rating.
It just needs to be half interesting to the nation in question imo. Can be a C&P of something already in the tree though, just make it unique and intereting to that specific tree
i.e
Viggen Di not a Norweigan F-16
Mirage 2K not a Dutch F-16
Tornado F3 not a F-18
etc etc etc
It could potentially be an Su-27 as well, but itโll most likely stay at 13.3 because the overwhelming majority of new players use it to bomb bases. Thereโs also a good chance it could end up with a higher battle rating simply because itโs being played by Japanese mains, who tend to perform better than players from the Big Three nations.
When they added Typhoons they skipped straight to T2s.
Which does leave T1 Typhoons or a semi-ahistorical DA (prototype) Typhoon as an option for Britain, Italy and Germany.
They could also go the route of Austrian Typhoon to Germany, Saudi Typhoon to Britain and a Turkish or Kuwait Typhoon to Italy, in basically the same weapons laodout as the 14.3 Typhoons
or
They could add an Austrian Typhoon to Germany with a realistic weapons fit, but that wouldnt include any Fox-3s
also maybe if they update F18c to 13.7 with aim120 and better loudout like itโs TT version I guess that would be fox3 but that will only happen if the want to bump up sales for it by a lot
They could always update the existing F-16, which is something Iโd actually like to see happen. However, knowing Gaijin, that would probably mean less money compared to introducing a new premium aircraft.
