F16 to germany?

what systems?
MAW? already ingame
HMD? already ingame
TGP and Laser guided bombs? already ingame
Groundsearch radar? already ingame

again the only thing that is ‘‘too’’ advanced are A2A missiles like ASRAAM/AMRAAM/IRIS-T but those can gaijin just ‘‘NOT ADD’’

ok that ones one me, stupid switz designation, the leopard was the pz87

thats where u are wrong, germany is lacking a gen 4 fox 3 capable fighter to bridge until typhoon

in this case france still wouldnt need those tanks strictly speaken, french rank 5-6 is filled quite well

im not expecting anything from gaijin these days, smin.
i just want explanations on certain statements made.
if i want to know thats in the pipeline, i just ask one of many leakers which dont care for their NDAs. i dont have to ask you for that :D

Just because the type of system for a particular vehicle may exist in game, does not mean future version of aircraft that have these systems are on par with what we currently have.

Respectfully, we have clarified many times we are not close to this aircraft currently and it should not be expected. So discussing it further is not going to change that.

We have a way to go before we reach aircraft such as the Eurofighter.

Typhoon is superior to all aircraft currently in War Thunder.
In engine, airframe, and minimum viable weapons.

Typhoon is the equivalent of F-15C MSIP II+, which isn’t in WT yet and equally cannot be due to its superiority over every other jet currently in WT.

as Smin said Germany already have the mig29 and could have the F-4
And you you aren’t wrong about France already having a good rank 5-6

it just doesnt make sense to a huge part of the playerbase, when we made giant leaps in aircrafts last year, f-14a, f-16 . now already at f16c , f14b, f15s and more and more on the horizon, you say it like germany just received the mig 29g (which should have been added a whole patch earlier together with SMT), but in the mean time other nations get upgrade over upgrade and leaps in capability

how many EJ Kai’s do you see these days?
the F-4 is a prower creeped airframe. adding 9Ls to a german F-4 and Early 120s wont change that

The game is not ready for F-15C MSIP II+, Typhoon, late Su-30s, Mig-35, Rafale, late F-2s, etc.
A 1.0 BR leap in one update is unprecedented.

@dotEXCEL
People play to spade more than the play for leisure.
I see as many EJ Kais as I do F-16As.

Some nations have multiple aircraft types in-between others major types. Germany is one of those nations that does not have as many progressive aircraft in that respect. So naturally they will not have increases at the same rate as other nations that have many more aircraft developments and designs to progress through before we reach a new level of technology.

the inconsistencies in gaijins statements…
2A7V statement
Stinger statement
this one…
i’ll just add it to the list

US received 5 new top tier jets in the last year, and Russia received 4. Why is too soon for Germany, but not for those two?

F-16AJ exists, so here’s your solution to this problem;

Y’all love C&P anyways. One way to fill the gap, but apparently you’d rather have Germany exists in an eternal limbo of “We’re so back” and “It’s so over”. It’s not like this is limited to Germany either lmao, Japan, UK & Italy also have this same problem.

preach brother

You wont give American aircraft in Dutch Service to Germany, which is fine; but then you gave a Russian Vehicle in Indian service to Britain?

You guys like to play fast and loose with your reasoning all the time, dont pretend to have any.

Germany does not have the same number of aircraft options as those two, so should not be directly compared.

They’ll never let Germany have air superiority again, devs have PTSD from the CL-13 days.

And a lot of those other nations with the “same” problem have the benfit of being made out of multiple nations, receiving vehicles from multiple sources, which increaes their competitiveness by quite a bit.
Great britain → Grippen
Sweden–> can get finish F-16
Italy–> F16 upgrade with fox 3 + now Hungarian Air line with Mig 29 and Grippens
China —> Made out of 2 parts
Japan–> got a trial vehicle that only exists as a piece of paper
Israel is the only nation that stands a lone so to day, but they got plenty of options

That’s what sub-trees exist for?!?

Heck, devs should’ve revamped how those are added to trees months ago, because anyone with more than 4 braincells can see that their (Germany, UK, Italy, Japan) end-game for air will be very weak, hence making subtrees a separate tab for research, this way smaller/weaker nations could be properly reinforced.

But nooo, it’s easier to simply deny such prospects, and just tell us that “it’s inevitable” a nation will have capability gaps, sorry, tee hee.

Currently Germany has something that remains competitive in the form of the MiG-29G.

We have not said nations will go without for long periods of time.

We have simply clarified, Germany currently has a competitive top tier fighter and does not currently have a gap in that area. We are more than aware in the future that there are and will be capability gaps for Germany (as with other nations) and as we have also already said, we already have plans to fill gaps for all nations across the board.
