I think they have different radars?
Where or how does it say that?
I wish this will apply to A5C and Z9W/WA.
Their current battle ratings are much too high.
Just play flankers, all you need is like 2 CAS loadouts and 1 for ARB
Spoiler

No more painful stock grind for the phantoms! This is huge! It’s very huge. Best change you guys could ever make!
This has the potential to be the best change to balancing EVER.
So many possibilities to make underutilised aircraft work at lower BRs, what an excellent change gaijin well done.
It’s more so that we can finally get aircraft’s historical munitions without it being denied because it would push its BR too high.
This sounds amazing but I just hope that downtiering can be done within reason. I don’t want to see even more modern vehicles in WW2 BRs for example
We are not currently planning to remove them no. Since the Early one doesnt have AMRAAM and won’t get them. The F.3 late does.
are we going to get more loadout slots?
because for some planes you would need multiple loadouts for each BR it can be at
…and Q-5(e) Q-5A Q-5L as well.
Chinese aircraft and helicopters have been suffering from high battle rating for years, just because gaijin
thought TY-90 was OP.
Do any of you realize that planes with horrible stock grinds will be much easier to spade? Do you realize how big this is?
What I mean is things like:
ALARM denied from Tonka GR1 because “it would increase the BR in GRB”
or
Phantom FGR2 denied 9Ls because “it would increase the BR”
or cases where a BR increase would be bad, but historically accurate.
Like 9Ms for the FRS1 or Tonka GR1 or 9Ls for the Jag GR1A. etc etc.
Heck Hawk T1 can now get 9Ls too.
BR increase? doesnt matter, its the players choice now, not Gaijins
Is there any preliminary list of vehicles that will get these changes?
At this stage no. Everything is WIP.
Its also not the case that everything will get everything. Thats not whats being announced here.
I understand not removing existing vehicles, but going forward, if the only change is loadouts (and no other changes on the airframes for the later variants) it would be done through the variable BR, right?
Does this also mean F-18A early can get something like AIM-7P aand F-18C late AMRAAMS?
would the Phantoms see lower battle ratings when they don’t have the sparrows unlocked since their locked to only sidewinders until then?
Ah ok, so exactly like me praying my “Mirage IIIS C.70 and F-5E must get AIM-9P-4/5” mantra…
If that will indeed be the result in the end, then BEST. NEWS. EVER.
What about stock loadouts like on top tier planes come with like 2 top stock missiles?
Are they going to be removed so the BR can be lowered as they aren’t module based?
