the datamine saying it is 7.7 makes me think it might be a quite good vehicle now,
especially with a top speed of just under 700mph, which not even the F-84G or La-200 matches, and the ADEN is a better gun than either the M3 / NS-37
it all really depends on its turning ability / retention though
Based upon the stat card seen for it when stock, it probably will outperform the Hunter F1 at 9.0. (Its faster, turns just as well and climbs just as well. Acceleration might be a key factor that you cant tell by stat cards, but honestly, I reckon 7.7 is the wrong BR and if it remains, then the Hunter F1 needs to be dropped to 7.7.)

I know, but I don’t recall the dates off the top of my head and didn’t want to over state it.
But what goes around comes around and the UK is now becoming a colony of the 3rd world. Guess they looted KARMA from India too!
Friend posted these on our discord supposedly from a data miner, if they are accurate this thing is going to be broken at launch, as they seem to be BRing it as an attacker when its just straight up a fighter XD

Based upon those stats (and just realised those are the stats with fuel tanks and not baseline) this thing will straight up outperform the Hunter F1 unless it has some crippling weakness, even then, 8.3/8.7 would be pushing it
Stock Hunter F1 for Comparison

We will have to see, but these stats read a 9.0 jet any day of the week,
from wiki so not the best but a good baseline

Yep, they are, so assuming they arent making it OP to make Britain’s jets look really really bad. I shall instead assume the BR is completely wrong

and yeah, when first announced I looked at wiki and thought "hunter F1 equivalent near perfectly. "
So 7.7 is a joke if it remains
Or they are fed up of adding indian stuff no one plays, so this is an attempt to make people play one XD
Instead of giving up on the subtree again. Its odd they do this but we still have yet to see the gnat or the cheetah two jets that would be very well received.
Haha, yeah perhaps. I am surprised they removed the shell from the T-90 when they lowered it when first added rather than leaving it at 10.7 with a totally cracked shell.
Or even stuff like the Hawk. given just how many TTs could both get it and greatly benefit from it. Britain, Sweden and Japan
They are just a collection of vehicles i dont often see, atleast with SA there are vehicles that do see play, with india its just stuff thats there and you dont see, which means i dont think people are playing it. I spaded the bish to break up my chally slog and it just makes me sad we never got the oz abrams, as its the literal only oz vehicle not in the brit tree, and it would have offered something different that the brits dont have, a spry mbt.

Or a Canadian Leopard.
Let alone a half dozne really interesting British things like the Chieftain 2000 or the Jordanian Challenger Falcon. They really dropped the ball with this Indian nonsense.
Its just going to clog a TT that could barely handle 1 Sub-TT

7.7 is insane, especially when it has a “strike aircraft” tag with “Rank V”.
This could indicate it has an airspawn.
I am thinking if this plane has some fatal flight performance defects so that it can be at this position.
Else 7.7 may be just a placeholder imo.

Lmao, 7.7?
It shouldn’t be too bad as according to a Pilot Interview it’s:
-
Fast and responsive to controls
-
Good instantaneous turn at low levels, Limited by the G-Limit (10.2G was achieved before blacking out according to another source)
-
Decent Sustained turn as long as you don’t go below 420 knots
-
Slow responses to controls under High AoA (but stable)
-
Good acceleration at low level until around 580knts but drops off heavily at altitude
-
Good climb rate at low levels
This Pilot also Flew the Hunter
Though I’m not sure which mark of the Marut this would be, as it doesn’t distinguish
seems it’d be 8.3/8.7 material unless gaijin fumbles, or there’s some other issue with how it fits in the Meta

Though on the flip side, from what I have read the Indians had serious issues in performance with them too which is why they rerolled almost immediately into a ground attack role?
I will also say dont forget that statlines can be misleading, everyone thought the strikemaster would be cracked going 800kmh at 6.3 until it was realised its a struggle bus to even go above 600-650kmh at times xD
Though it would indeed be funi if its superior to the hunter and a lower BR, maybe gaijin will finally look at the BR balancing of UKs non mach fighters like Hunter, Venom, etc xD

Technically this is our third subtreee, we have had australia since british air was added
it wont stay there. It probably wont be able to turn more than once without becoming a brick.
britain traditionally gets jets put 1+BRs too high (just look at the vampire/venom or hunters lmao)
its current placeholder BR is not where its gonna stay, I’m expecting 8.0 as its going to be a scimitar but worse in flight handling and A2G payload
