Reskins are exactly what they should do with premiums. Would you rather prefer to have the best variant of the vehicle (say JA37D IR-OTIS) to be premium? Additions such as Leopard 2A4 Pzbtl 123 might seem like boring and CnP additions but these vehicles shouldnt be providing better performance or unfair advantages compared to what you can get for free in the techtree.
If you dont want it you dont have to get it since its no better than what you research for free.
Leopard 2A4 Pzbtshsklfls > Leopard 2A3
M1A1 Clickbait > M1A1D
JA 37D premium reskin > SH 37 premium with AIM-9L
And what if I wanted to play the 2A3 for free? You just took away my possible lineup option
The key part is that variants with minor differences that are not reflected in the game are much more viable as premiums than reskins of the same vehicle.
Think about the Mirage Milan or Mirage F1C-200. One of them has a fuel probe and the other has mustaches as an extra, those differences have either 0 or negligible effect on the game
Oh well, sorry if my reply felt offensive.
maybe I was too tempered and short-fuzed about this situation. and 'that guy’. :|
Thanks to Swedish mains, now I understand there are a few reasons for playing Swedish air.
They might not be strong or not being meta and usually get overrated. but still, There are unique planes that catch the Swedish main’s eye.
Ahh, Just what I felt when I saw Tornado GR.1’s Devblog… XD
Still, it would be great if the Swedish branch had less unique premium though.
Just like F-4EJ ‘ADTW’, Tornado IDS ‘WTD61’, Su-22M4 ‘WTD61’ A32A ‘Red Adam’ or F-104S ‘TAF’ does. right?
Sorry for interfering, but sire. Milan has a bit more difference than just a moustache flap.
it can’t mount AIM-9E or R.550 Magic 1 and R.530. only AIM-9B
but the engine has been upgraded to 9K-50 which is used on F1C.
so gameplay is quite different than the rest of the Mirage 3/5 variant does.
Less effective in [dogfights] but more effective in [base bombing and grinding].
FU 1 (IR-OTIS) was a JA37D with IRST/FLIR, I believe this version should come to the TT instead of a CP JA37D/DI. The ability to track four targets at once would also be an interesting addition.
Here’s a great video showcasing IR-OTIS (It’s in swedish but the video itself is pretty informative).

Cant be said about IRST on JA37D tho
damn, I thought IR-OTIS was somewhatkind of Squadron name Xd
The vehicles you mentioned have direct tt equivalents and thats what I think is the healthiest method of adding (high tier) premium vehicles. JA37D IR-OTIS would offer more capabilities than any of the techtree variants which in my opinion isnt right as the best variants of the vehicle should never be locked behind paywall.
squadron*
I’d rather see a Draken as a squadron vehicle, while there’s several swedish versions that haven’t been added, I’d prefer to add the J35Ö with AIM-9P-5 and countermeasures
Yeah J35O might be a better option actually. Speaking of Drakens I’d love to see F-35 or Swedish modified J35 with CAS options (F-35 prototype iirc). Would fit perfectly before AJ37 to fill the gap.
Yeah, couldn’t remember its code XD
For now ;-)
Then it used no IR missiles in the 90s-2000s
As the 9Ls were upgraded
JAS39A remains superior to the JA-37Di due to being the same BR with a vastly superior airframe.
JAS39A, AJ37, JA37C, J32, J29A/A29B, A21RB, SAAB-105G, J22-B all great unique vehicles available only in the tech tree.
The only jet as-good as any tech tree vehicle is Saab J35XS being as good as Mig-21bis.
It is a lot easier to navigate the forums once you’ve muted that muppet.
I know lmao, but if i mute him i cannot respond with that image to him
