In game it’s using the wrong engine. It should be using a modified version of the tf-109. Same engine but different afterburner section. More efficient t and reliable. Effectively it should be comparable to the f111 F performance but right now it’s missing around 2300kgf thrust off the top of my head. It’s also missing aim 9m, we never used the aim9L. Missing the full bomb loads of the f111 A and some smart weapons, anti ship along with the ECM pods.
Well what engine does it have now?
Many vehicles are missing their ecm pods. Doubt well see them for a while. Additionally weapons are chosen based on where gaijin wants the vehicles BR.

The only ECM pod ingame that I know of is the one on certain MiG-21s and that only acts as a flare/chaff pod ingame
@Smin1080p_WT I see that a number of western vehicles have now received more detailed autoloader models (as they should), among them XM8 and CCVL.
XM8 autoloader & ammo
This is a realistic change, and intended to nerf the survivability of vehicles with large areas of void space. The XM8 and CCVL however do not have areas of void space, and are not survivable. Don’t get me wrong, I support the addition of detailed internals like autoloaders, however, I think it is regrettable to not at the same model the blow-out panels these vehicles should’ve received 2-3 years ago.
I made this survivability chart showing that you are highly likely to be destroyed either by crew loss or by ammo detonation. With this remodel, if you are lucky enough to survive a hit to the ammunition area, now there is also the added penalty of the autoloader being broken.
The blow-out panels these vehicles possessed in real life would greatly help offset this. Do you have anything to share with regards to modeling this functionality?
I asked a similar question in the past, but now that the vehicles have received autoloader damage model (a functional nerf) I see it fit to ask again.

Hollllllyyyyy the J-7D spam is crazy rn. It’s almost as bad as the Mirage F1C-200 spam when Benelux was announced lol
Not entirely wrong but the ECM pod for the viggen is modeled in game.
Can only be seen in mission editor on AI viggen
Also obligatory post of Mig 21 MGBT
Spoiler
Where is it gaijin? Its just a slightly upgraded mig 21, it would be the same br but be more unique (not by much lol)

We do have two hi-res add-ons to install, one each for planes and tanks (ships are automatically hi-res because they’re huge). They also helpfully self-update along with the game’s own patches. :)

you mean like more dedicated RAAF aircraft ?
Eh, we can go with that, im always down to see if more historical roundels will be added. Same goes with vehicles emblems for different groups.
Post links to those claims. GE mains would nto request any not GE or BW used vehicle.
What self respecting GE main says: “No do not add domestic vehicels,no more german prototypes. Give us forigne stuff that has no ties and was never used by the BW or Wermacht or NVA!”
Yeah, wouldn’t that be nice…
There’s plenty of CAC aircraft left to be added that would be way more interesting than that F-111
F-16C Barak II from WISH
Hoping well see more roundels/historical emblems for sub trees, seriously they are lacking pretty hard.
Well, hard to say… they were thinking of bringing back the Monthly Decals thing this year, but have not heard anymore about that yet
Suggestions are always welcome for Decals, again not sure how focused they are on that at the moment tho
I’m not really aware of missing roundels, but more historical emblems and decals would be nice
