Israel aircraft rank IX speculations

It will probably be a Block 72 version of the F-16. It’s easier to just copy and paste an aircraft. Just like the one added to China’s TT last update. Just my opinion.

Yea Greek F-16s can carry 4 but we only have seen the F-16 Block 52+ Advanced with them (but I believe the V will be also able to carry them but we don’t have any photos yet)

I hope they do that with the Rafale

IAF doesn’t have the JSOW, Greece does.

What kind of messed up crop did you do to make a question I asked look like a claim?

Yea that’s why I responded him that you were making a question

I hope not, I want a 11.x Mirage F1 with sidewinders and stuff

Technically it was compatible with the pylons that had countermeasures, so add them and put it 11.0-11.3

bro what are you even on about?

before they got the malaysia subtree japan did not have actual top tier aircraft
israel currently doesnt have actual top tier aircraft and most israeli options have been ruled out for not fitting the game yet (f35I) or not existing yet (f15IA)

both during the dev stream and in the dev blog for the malaysian subtree they did not explicitly state any purpose for adding the vehicles, other than “offering new capabilities and exciting aircraft combinations across all game modes.”
which mostly just means to fill gaps, which can be both a CAS gap and a top tier planes gap but imo the malaysian air tree was mostly added to fill the airplane gap as neither the mig29N or fa18D are especially good CAS and they already had the f16a ocu and jas39c which are about as good at CAS as the fa18D

its quit simple, really. but i just woke up so ill bother with you later if i dont forget.
gmgm :)

The problem is…it never had CMs. And never had 530s of any kind.
So it will be in a very bad spot in the game. At best it will be a 10.0 with 4x9J/P. If they give it 9P-4/5 it doesn’t have CMs…

minimum 10.7 like chinese F-104G with 4x 9P

which is basically the same thing as the japanese f104J which is at 10.3

Well , i had in mind Su-17M-2 that is 10.0 , that’s why i said at best.
But yeah, i’ve forgotten both those 104s , they don’t exist for me in game in those BRs anyway…
And 104J has 6 AIM-9Ps.

Difference is the A2G load out that allows zombing in the F-104G but not the J, which pushes up it’s earnings and thus its BR due to Gaijins stupid balancing system

doesnt the J also get 2x more aim9 though? maybe im misremembering though

Just checked J has 6 Aim-9Ps while the G has 4 Aim-9Js I though they both had 6 missiles, my mistake, if I recall they are basically equivalent missiles (I cant keep track of all the little differences in the AIM-9 variants).

Yeap , 6x9P.

In my opinion , you can give me one pick between AMRAAMs/9M and no CMs, gun only with CMs …i’ll pick the second.
So in any case , if the MF.1CG is over 10.0 , it will be kinda unplayable .
The best scenario is if you practically sidegrade it with Shahak (MIIICJ) , that has SARH and 2 (slightly) better IR (i prefer naval 9s especially in fast planes that i don’t want to turn and can fly high ).
Or in French tree MIIIC again with SARH and Magic 1s .
All of them 10.0.

Yes 9J and 9P in game is the same missile. In reality P was a J with upgraded solid state electronics which made it more reliable and easy to maintain, mainly for export, yet US used them as well.

Rafale M definitely does carry them (tho all pictures i see are of one on belly pylon)

9P has radar slaving

I’d be fine either way, either it gets countermeasures for the sake of it and goes to 11.3 or it doesn’t and goes to 10.3
But 10.3 without countermeasures sounds aweful, especially without the superior speed of the F-104s
