Just lantirn? No Litening III? or smth like that. If it doesn’t get the new engines can the Charlie at least get the bol pods already

aim-120A/B is already the best (maybe second best to AAM-4) fox 3 in the game, no need for 120cs

If the US doesn’t have complete dominance in air RB then it is unfair, they should’ve added the F-15EX instead

There’s also no reason not to give it its full kit. It uses them in service now. No need to gimp every US vehicle that comes to the game.

Have you ever heard of “balance”?

When is the dev server going live? The dev stream happened, so when?

Hasn’t mattered for a while. Case in point; the Panstir and Kh38.

AIM-120B is good enough for now. But maybe the 229 would have been great to have but it’ll be a great interdictor/fighter-attacker anyways

Pantsir is still easy to dodge if you’re not stupid, and the KH-38MT has the same lock range as any other FnF AGM, while still being attached to a flying brick.

100% serious. The aircraft uses Aim-120Cs in service today. It’s a brick of an airframe since it’s a ground pounder focused variant.

Why do you believe that strike aircraft should be on an even footing with fighter aircraft?

The B already exists in game and it’s no better than the A model. Gaijin nerfed it, along with the AAM4 if I remember correctly. It will be fine with the 120C. Like I said, can’t gimp every new US vehicle.

  1. Kh38 is attached to Su-25, idk about pantsir but judging at how many threads about cas there are I don’t think it’s too op.

  2. Ground isn’t the only mode in wt, 120C5s would completely mess up air RB.

It’s brickier than the F-15C but not a brick. By this logic MiG-29SMT should get R-77-1 and R-74 because it’s also a brick that can’t dogfight and is in service with those.

It’s kinda odd we are getting SDBs but in the teaser and dev streams it is only shown using the Lantirn pod (gen 1 thermals). Are there considerations for giving it Litening II like most other jets at its BR? Litening predates the SDBs even. It’s not the worst if not but it makes not a lot of sense.

Ideally would’ve liked to see the Sniper as well so that the A-10C can benefit from the same pod (as well as SDBs).

THIS.
I would freaking love if all attackers with good missiles that are undertiered because of bad airframe got pumped up to the same br those missiles are found on fighters.
People playing their attackers in air RB to farm stuff for ground is not my issue. This goes for all countries (and especially to A10s and Su-25s)

If that’s what it uses, sure. Let’s also not gimp the Brimestone either and give every airframe that carried HARM-88s those as well.
