Also wouldn’t it make more sense to move some of the rank 8’s down to rank 7?
The F/A-18A and Viggen D group could easily move down to rank 7 to make room in rank 8 for the new additions. Then for Russia folder the Su-30SM2 with the SM. And for China move the J-10’s out from line 1 since that seems to be where Taiwan is located in that tree.
these are some amazing screenshots worthy to win the screenshot competition!
Nah half the time the screenshots that win are all ones with heavy editing. Like maybe 10% that win anything are straight screenshots that haven’t been edited.
I am guessing that the new AESA planes will be used as a step stone. Next year new missiles and weaponry will be added to these planes and they will be given a different BR.
Only way this makes sense without the folder.
Will it get SLAM-ER and JAGM-F or is it still sporting the lack luster mav’s
Honestly why not folder these planes temporarily instead? I don’t want to get too specific, but this solution only makes players, who already invested a lot of time into the trees, have to grind more. The economic changes (likely RP reductions for previous ranks, I hope) will only benefit players new to the tree. Not to mention with the current solution, you’re just breaking a “promise”, for whatever that is worth, but it just feels sour.
Cause gen 5 ain’t here yet. ;)
Hyped for obesity the aircraft though.
Then, Rank VII Premiums will no longer serve to grind to Top Tier…
Thank you for the information in advance! Now I know I need to hurry the hell up with my F-1C if I want to reach Rafale in time, hahah.
Sounds like there will be some BR decompression for top tier, great news!
End-of-the-line vehicles are never foldered right away
To me, it will alway be the Hornet II. Call it the Super Hornet all you want, it was literally just meant to be proposed in a way to Congress as a kind of upgrade so they’d fund it lmao rather than a whole new jet that it was.
why are the pylons angled?
Fixed it
Because the design aerodynamically, was not very good to say the least, and very frequently armament would collide with the airframe when jettisoned.
As MikeyPlayzonYT mentioned, it has to do with the relationship between aerodynamics and weapon separations, which the Super Hornet’s design addresses this.
Also, it should not be cleared to carry rocket pods for this reason, except for APKWS, probably. Good luck hitting anything on the ground with the angled rocket pods. That’s why you don’t see any IRL photos of Super Hornet carrying those.
As cool as the Super Hornet is, it is going to be fairly DOA. A first gen 9X would have made it a more unique, viable counter to the more maneuverable/faster EFT and Rafale but Gaijin doesn’t think its fair.
how come it was so bad while other aircraft with similar wing and hardpoint designs dont have this issue
im pretty sure its because
-weight almost if not as much as a F-15
-slightly smaller for the same weight
-engine isnt good enough
