From a template I’ve made, the second one is where I post the link if there is any.
Cool to see another modernized F-4, classic Gaijin move to give Mikes and not Li to their users.
I do wonder why we are jumping the gun to the HEL and not padding out the TT like this:
Leo2A4 105mm-> Leo2A4-> Leo2A6HEL 105mm-> Leo2A4 ASPIS-> Leo2A6HEL
Kinda a no brainer with little to no work required.
Dunno you risk to become a flying pinata without them.
I think that at 11.3 could be really fun to play.
Turkey has been part of the same leak of Greece, both slated to come as subTTs but under different TTs. Italy already has Romania and Hungary, Israel has Greece and Cyprus.

Didn’t you just tell me that in discord too lmao
Anyway I’m getting a few more reports done, then I’ll make all the edits to the post today. Already made quite a few yesterday, shouldn’t take to long, I just need time to do them.

ok idk why but for some reason my post got flagged even tho i didnt say anything bad and was only talking about the f16 bloock 52 and 70
Leo 2A6 should have the MEXAS-H armor package installed.
This means that besides the up-armored lower glacis plate of the Strv 122B -as both vehicles share the Leopard 2A6EX (Demo 2) base- it should also have the MEXAS composite armor on the hull sides, which are currently only armored with the standard 2A6 high-hardness rolled armor. As excellently shown Leopard 2HEL - Greece cat here.
The crew hatches should also be up-armored from the standard 2A6 20mm.
Finally, and this has been mentioned and reported already, but the gunner thermals should be Gen 2 instead of 1, as they use the Zeiss Ophelios 96x4 system.
I wasn’t the one who did it but;
F-4E AUP :
HAF had AIM-9Ls and L/Is. We even used 9L on some of our NF/F-5As and our A-7s and F-16s. Weather F-4E AUP should have them in game, well it would be a roadblock mod since the final is 9M and/or L/I (L/I and M are the same in game if i remember correctly, if i am mistaken tell me ) .
Mirage 2000-5Mk2
Was never compatible with ARMAT to begin with. RDY-2 adopted the Rafale’s MDPU , and that means it was not compatible with with the analogue bus interfaces and whatever specialized controls it needed in the cockpit for it, so that means the pilot can’t interact with the missile , can’t turn on the seeker , can’t warm the missile up , doesn’t have signal galvanometer or frequency band indicator compatible so can’t dial the frequency the enemy radar has manually (ARMAT was analogue).
ARMAT needs to be hardwired , else can’t talk with digital systems/fire controls etc. of the modern fighters that use UFCP for those settings.
Imagine the situation is worse than F-14D/AMRAAM that essentially missed a software upgrade, you’d need to install all the analogues and make them communicate with external computer, something like how Ukraine uses Western Weapons in their Soviet/Russian made fighters.
It misses Exocet and when it comes it should have SCALP-EG.
About other planes.
A-7H was a simplified version of E. Can’t use Shrikes , because it lacks any wirings or cockpit modules to operate them. Essentially not even compatible.
Can’t use AIM-9D/G , only 9P (and variants ) and 9L , it wasn’t ever wired for the Naval ones and Greece never operated them anyway.
They never got the upgrades 7Es had.
So , no LANA either because they lack whatever modification you need for LANA (new Wide Angle Raster HUD -the old one isn’t compatible and can’t display raster video feeds, they are not wired for it -and there is a physical modification for it with extra cooling conduits and different wiring harness to route the video bandwith and data streams from the pod , they lack data-buses, they lack the dedicated power supply for it…in general they just can’t use it or be “field modified” for it).
A-7E you can say it’s technically possible to carry and use whatever the USN ones had, because they were actually built and upgraded for USN.
And those mistakes aren’t even to the technically compatible catalogue. They need heavy upgrading and modifications, that we essentially will talk for another variant and not the showcased one.
If anything the “F-14D never had AMRAAMs” , is way closer as a technical capability (a software upgrade) than the stated mistakes in those planes that would need physical modifications and software and i don’t know what else they’d need to operate those weapons.
Just to give you the magnitude…
On the other hand we have …Yak-141 and F-16XL with AMRAAMs. So i guess it’s ok.
But for anyone that cares to know, no, much of these loadouts is Ace Combat…
maybe you talked about Turkey and Italy i have no idea? if tyou want to talk about stuff like the Greek - F-16s you are welcome here -Hellenic/Cypriot Subtree Discussion
You’ve just answered your own question)
Yeah, sorry, got too excited. I wrote to you here and then duplicated it on Discord when noticed you were active.
Yea i just realized that the f16 thing i said that in a diff thread but im still wondering what and why my message got deleted tho bc i cant remember i said anything wrong or smt
They don’t need to. I didn’t know myself until recently.
HAF bought Sycomor pods for the Mirage F.1 CG, but they didn’t install it. They bought it when they upgraded the missile carrying capacity from 2x AIM-9P to 4x9P , somewhere in the 80s. However , the weird thing, they never installed it -at least not in all of them- because of the cost and they weren’t really needed at that time. So, they became warehouse attraction…
So , while the airframes didn’t have the upgrades needed to use them…the equipment was there and just needed retrofitting. We even bought the Remora pods for ECM , but they were stored , too.
So it’s not 100% wrong for them to carry CMs, since what they needed for them was bought…It is a stretch , though. If war they would wear them…luckily they never did.
However, they lacked completely internal CMs and couldn’t carry the Phimat that is showcased in the game.

I dont know if its bug or not, but Leo 2HEL have 8 smoke mortars each side but only 6 of them are usable.
Made a report about it. @BasherBenDawg8

Hey, I got some bad news
Currently waiting on a reply from Akizyro, as some random mod stopped by the thread and got mad that some of my text was Orange.
Whatever the case, they locked my thread and now I can’t edit it. Orange is the new red I guess?
Good luck with that.
I’m fighting since the Swiss aircraft came out that they get their correct missiles…

According to @Pipimer they didn’t, he’s more knowledgeable on some of this stuff than I am. I’m aware of the series being used on all those aircraft (just reported it for the A-7 the other day), but I only have sourcing for the L/I and L/I-1. If you have information to prove otherwise please share it, it’d be much appreciated.
If you have sourcing, please bug report it. I don’t have any information on this available to me.
Already reported!
As for the other A-7H stuff, again we need sources which I do not have.
ban Smin and other mods from the game until they fix it
And in other news the 12.7mm RCWS report was denied, they’re calling it a “different modification of the tank”.
