Worse than that, went down to 11.3 at the start of the year
Not really.
So, in RB 29G had somewhat better kill ratio than SMT, but also had 3 times less games, so SMT was played by every idiot and their dog and still scored a better WR. in SB, on the other hand, when the amount of battles was similar, SMT is still considerably better kill ratio than 29G.

Mig-29G was the better of the 2 top tier migs. As it had the R-73s but the lighter airframe compared to the Mig-29SMT. It was just less people play Germany air than they play soviets.
So DAs could be added right now, correct? Top tier BR already is 13.0
Also Italians wouldnt get it as early, their first EFT, DA.3, already came with EF200s, unlike the DA.1 and DA.2 which flew with the weaker RB.199-104s for some time, and Britain already has the Gripen, they can deal with Eurofighter a patch or so later

Well, stats beg to differ.
All 3 nations should get Typhoon at the same time. It is stupid and unfair to expect Italy and Britain to miss out on their principle top tier fighter, just because they both have gotten Gripens from a Sub-TT.
Im guessing all 3 will get a DA Typhoon, but im guessing they will be indentical and be essentially an amalgam of different DA aircraft. either that or they will skip straight to the full production Typhoon at about 13.3 ish.

Stats from where?
No official data is provided and thunderskill is horrendously bad. It only records something like 2% of matches
I saw plenty of Mig-29Gs last year
How is it “horrendously bad”?
Well, I saw even “plentier” SMTs and Su27s.
Besides, 2% is just some Reddit guy estimation, based on all sortsa assumptions some of which, I KNOW, are wrong, so it may easily be triple or quadruple that and then we’re within election polling sample eg. that usually comes up right.

It’s barely a tiny snapshot of current matches and data.
its also stupid and unfair that one nation misses out on a 4th gen Fox-3 carrier, yet here we are.
Or to put it differently, its their turn to wait

Yes, it is Germany’s turn to wait.
Try fighting Mig-29s or Mig-29Gs in the Tornado F3 or Viggen D. It was not fun.
ICE at least has equal weapons to everyone else at top tier. Im doing just fine in the Sea Harrier FA2 vs Su-27s and Mig-29s. ICE should be laughing at the moment.

Well yeah, but J11a does have higher BR
Now imagine fighting any gen 4’s in a phantom
try fighting MiG-23MLDs and F-4Js in a MiG-21Bis, not fun either.
Germany was costantly behind, but it seems everyone forgets that because recently it was only by one patch instead like a year

Try fighting the FGR 2 in the F-104G… oh wait, we had to and it wasn’t fun for us either. How about the time we only had normal R-60s against your PD guided Sparrows? Lol.
The “it’s your turn to wait” isn’t even remotely applicable here and honestly it’s hypocritical considering UK pre MiG-23MLA was far better off than Germany.

Imagine fighting any Gen 4 in the Sea Harrier a 9.7 airframe
Try fighting Mig-23MLA in the Phantom FGR2.
You have aim 120’s lmafo, it should be very easy.

The point is. Germany typically has to wait 1 maybe 2 updates to get a decent new top tier aircraft.
Im suspecting Germany will get something new maybe September or October. Worse case scenario. December.
Britain has had consistant gaps of maybe a year between new top tier aircraft. The Last time Britain was actually top tier before the Gripen was when the Hunter F6 was top tier. Phantom FGR2 had its moments. But has been chronically underpowered since the Mig-23MLD was added end of 2022 and didnt get replaced until the same update that Germany got the Mig-29 in which we got hte Tornado F3, which was so unplayable that I dont actually consider it was added until June 2023. A full year after the F-14A and 18 months after the Mig-23MLD.
Yes, “who suffers most” is a stupid argument. But Germany is not suffering that badly this update. F-4F ICE is a useable airframe, with weapons equal to the competition.

So does the F4F ICE
