At least there is something, some countries doesn’t even have a ground event vehicle 😂
or when they do its not even domestic. Or it is in a different tree and doesn’t get moved over

“Emblem of the Nevatim Airbase” decal

Cameras in the nose are useful taking away the need for a targeting pod which I like since I have gotten my SU22
meteor cameras in the nose are only for reconnaissance they serve no purpose in wt and are unusable

Wow. It was a like a light switch. As soon as the event started, tryhards came out in force and started wiping out entire lobbies.
for a plane that will not even cost 10 bucks lmfao, this is just sad

Well probs skip this one as it will just be a worse meteor reaper from brit tree
Why isn’t this a premium?? I’m not liking this new trend

naaahh… it is even worse than regular F Mk.8 G.41K
No need to bring reaper :|
This one is a lame copy version of israel Meteor F.8, whose payload is limited to only 8x HVAR :/
Unless Gaijin lets us scout with that reconnaissance camera.

HVARs are getting to their limits by 5.7 that’s tragic
and no recce camera mechanics yet is sad. I wanna be able to use the FR47, Gr7 and T10 camera to scout stuff. this would need that to even be kinda ok as a vehicle
Well during test flights without load I can’t really tell the difference between this and the Israeli Meteor F.8.
Maybe it will perform differently when all the upgrades are purchased?
I’m not holding my breath.
Is this disappointing, so far Yes.
Do I wish we got a better Israeli Event Vehicle, Yes.
Does it seem like a waste, Yes.
Will I grind it anyways, Yes.
Why would it? It is almost exactly the same aircraft…
Apparently the Mk 9 MAUW was 8660 kg (see Gloster Meteor FR Mk.9, The killer photographer)
Mk 8 MAUW: 8663 kg (https://www.airforce.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-07/Meteor%20A77-871.pdf)
And the Mk 9 was a suggestion - Gloster Meteor FR Mk.9, The killer photographer
So be careful what you suggest - make it interesting or they’ll just take the easiest ones!

I was initially hoping the camera would have some functionality or that there would be a different weapon load out option. I’m still thankful for the decals. I just wish we got a better event vehicle.
I dont think it works this way. Recon photos were analyzed after aircraft has landed, not in flight.
For aerial ‘real time’ recon we would need liaison aircrafts like Fi 156, Lysander or Grasshopper

I understand where youre coming from but we also get bright icons hover above spotted tanks so the game isn’t going for milsim functions, it would bring a more teamplay focused role to some CAS craft
Play 2 sim matches today.
Match 1:
F4U-4 and P-51D30 diving on people taking off just out of the yellow flash.
Match 2:
Constant attempts to strafe planes taking off by a Yak-9P that crashed right after each time. Be-6 also constantly dying to airfield.
And P-61s flying low near airfields to strafe people with their third person mouse aim turrets.
I love air grind events.
At least this was funny (suspicious influx of level 10 accounts in sim tho):

Air SIM needs a line of defenses in front of the AF instead of at the AF. There are so many fundamental problems with the game mode during these grind events.

First glance in this event I was personally like naaah, some meteor, nothing special.
2nd tought it’s also for israel, naah I dont play it so much.
Then I realised it, this event is actually hidden gem for players, and why?
Israel aair tree starts on rank 4, and this event jet is rank 5.
Sure it is just a meteor, but hey would you rather grind israel air on Sakeen or this. So yes, thnx snail I dont have to play sakeen anymore not even a single game after this event.

So the argument for grinding tihis event is that the resereve aircraft for Isreal is somehow worse than grinding this event.
Thays actually the best reason for grinding this event I’ve heard yet.
