Might be, though the EMFCD page shows how the tail hook chaff should look

Gaijin are making everything that bad to force us to play top tier is all iv got.
J35 at 10.3 with no CMs sounds like the worst experience in war thunder. They really need to employ someone that just says no to the nonsense
Yeah now i see what you mean, on this photo of AR-112. Unless they had a safety pin for the arrestor hook or something!
Yeah, it’s hard to tell Silver also mentioned they likely had covers for the CMs, mentioning they might also be able to blow off the cover when needing to fire CMs kinda like rocket pod nose cones. Though I doubt that, if anything it’s an added safety net for being on the ground or in the air when the system isn’t needed.
I agree, and i find it strange that there are no photos of open dispensers on the tail nozzle. The dimensions on the end looks to be the same as the tail hook chaff dispensers
Yeah all these ones have the chaff dispenser open, there’s a lot of photos of A-019 with the open chaff dispenser so the other images could be a pre 1977 model
Photo is dated 1993: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/293449/AR-112
It also looks like it has the late version of sensors on top of the tail
Tbf there’s like 12 separate Danish Drakens
But yeah, unfortunately some of my battle of Britain training images are too far away or low quality to get a look at the tails though they also took place in 1977 so it’s likely it happened before the retrofit to the 80s model

The finnish dispenser looks to be more tapared in towards the back, compared to the danish rectangular ones. But then again the air intakes for the afterburner(?) appears the same, so it might just be due to that.
Yeah you can see the angled bit here and in other images
Though could be due to being an F model versus the S. I’d need Finnish documents on their model to get a reason for their thicker BOY 402 pods

The radar weapons should at least make it less unplayable than japan 104 but if XS also get these weapons then it’ll be pretty dumb
XS maybe should have just stayed at 10.7 and even more deserves it if gets the new weapons
Decompression all the way from 7.7 to 14.7 could solve it, but gaijin refuses to balance the game. It doesn’t drive enough sales, probably
XS is obviously going 10.7 to die.
1.5 years iv played WT now and every update the game gets worse. Vics added that ruin full BRs. “Decompression” that just locks BRs in permanent uptier holes.
