is the F-15IA on the same planet as us?
Please, I don’t expect much from the upcoming updates (maybe a tank or two). I know they’ll never fix the damage and bullet penetration model or make large, well-balanced maps, but at least optimize the maps in future updates so the FPS doesn’t constantly drop from 165 to 90 depending on the map and whether you’re near trees. That’s all I ask for, at least map optimization.

More or less the same. Israel tends to replace some electronics, so i guess time will tell.
does not exist and will not for some time
It would also make things easier if they wouldn’t have such an erratic introduction order. The patches where they introduced F/A-18s, Su-30SMs, EFs, Rafales, etc. should have been completely different. The swiss subtree should have gone to germany earlier when the F/A-18s got introduced and they should have been introduced with the Su-30SMs as they would have been perfect counterparts. The EF and Rafale should have been both introduced with M-Scan radars (RBE2 instead of RBE2-AA for the Rafale) while the AESA variants should have been added for both later at the same time. There are so many examples where they could have things organized better and eliminate most of the reasons for outsidde pressure and these “limited to a single nation” additions by keeping the performance bracket closer.

Where harrier fixes.
Just give me a HUD and a flight model worth playing and I will shut up.
It’s so easy I’ve given you every source you need.

This is a really good question which I hope gets answered. If I had to guess, I’m pretty sure the AMRAAM-D buff is US only for the time being.
No…
It was originally the F/A-18C AND The F-15E were going to get C5s and not the Typhoon. If it was F-18 only, it might have been fine, but by adding it to the F-15E too changed that radically, especially after buffing MICA EM so much.

That I don’t understand until today. Especially keeping it like that for what now? More than a year? Why not give the MICA its original range and nerf the other parts so it’s more in line everything else every other nation got? Now you’ve got an overpowered missile (in the current <20 km meta) on an excellent airframe with MAW, AESA and massive HOBS capability. Especially at a time no one else had this combination and was still flying around with M-Scan radars while slinging missile which fly like a whale. Another one of those reasons they could have handled much better but now get outside pressure for their subpar implementation…

The F/A-18C(late) for US/Germany/Sweden and AF/A-18A(late) for Britain should have been added before the F-15E, EFT, Rafale and Su-30SM.
The Su-30SM, M-scan EFT and an earlier Rafale should have been intorduced with either the F-15E or F/A-18E.
AESA EFT, current Rafale and Su-30SM2 should have been introduced with at least the 15EX.
All Hornets, but especially the 18E, were added criminally late.

They don’t technically exist yet as they haven’t been completed. If added in game it would be an exact copy of the US one with an IDF livery without any of the changes they may make to it. Whether or not this means it should be added when we get Eagle 2s is up for debate.
I have opinions about slapping another non-native vehicle to bodge Britains top tier, especially after the year we had just had. but I largely agree that order would have made somewhat sense.

Someone tell us when we should expect the leaks to come.
Well, you could give the Harriers the performance they should have (fix outstanding reports) and/or introduce the most modern AV-8 there is with according weaponry as a new semi top-tier vehicle.
There is no bias in Warthunder, that in itself is emotional. Gaijin generally does a good job, but they are not knowing how to deal with the limitations that Americans have on their radars,I will say again what I already said, Gaijin has much more data than we have. For me, for example, it was better to give BOL pods to Americans in the top tier than to give an AIM-120D.
Still wouldnt have been an F-15C equivalent unless it got ASRAAM and there is no chance that would ever happen.
Just a bit annoyed by this whole situation actually.
Britian and Sweden struggling with Tornado F3 and Viggen D vs F-16 and Mig-29 for 9 months. They add Aim-9M and R-73 to the F-16 and Mig-29
F-15C GE “struggling” vs Su-30SM2, Rafale, Typhoon, etc they add Aim-120D after just 3 months
