By the way, this is identified as the SPJ-20, which is the same system used on the Brazilian AMX. I’m still not sure whether it’s a V5 or a possible V6, like the SPS-45.

You’ve repeated what I’ve said, Gaijin picks and chooses who uses what in which capacity.
You’ve listed reason why Kfir is going up in BR yourself, so why shocked pikachu
Unless it brings extended radar band coverage or 360 detection, it will be just X-ray name change in practice.
If you refer to battlefield wide datalink, then this feature is absent in the game to begin with. If it ever gets introduced, then pretty much everyone will get it at this point, so it won’t be Kfir exclusive.
It does lol, I explained that earlier on

I’m referring to DATALINK as the link between allied aircraft and their systems (specifically radar), displayed on both the MFDs and the HMD. This system is already in the game and is used by aircraft like EF Typhoon and Rafale. Since the Kfir C.10 has the Targo 2 HMD and its antennas, it should be able to display both allied and enemy targets. In fact, there are many aircraft that should have this system (JAS-39E, F/A-18 in its latest versions, J-10C, SU-30SM2, among others) but don’t.
It’s not just the name that changes, but also the precision of the system; we’re talking about an integrated suite (EW-ECM-ESM). Obviously, it’s a technical matter, but it’s applied in the game from its practical application. But yes, the coverage should be increased to 360 degrees, and in the not-too-distant future, electronic countermeasures should be allowed to be used as mechanic; the old SPS-200 will not be able to be part of that.
Rafale lost its display of friendlies with HMD rework few months ago. That leaves Eurofighters and A-10C I think?
I don’t think the ECM pod interfered with the missile pylon, or was I wrong?
You’re correct, the ECM pod would be located at a central hardpoint. However, the Kfir only used the ELTA EL/8222 pods as a test; now, the Block 60 version has the ECM system integrated.
Come to think of it, is the Block 60 equipped with MAWS?
I remember reading in the dev blog that it is, but I don’t know much about the Block 60…
No bro, the Block 60 doesn’t seem to have the MAWS system, but it does have modern avionics like an improved RWR and ECM-EW-ESM systems. Gaijin removed the MAWS before adding the Kfir C.10, but they haven’t given it its actual avionics.
I got it! Thanks bro.

RIP kfir. Didnt have long before it was nerfed but quickly became my favorite jet.
Any news of upgrades like the f14 or is it just dead?
How is it dead? It’s still a very potent aircraft at 13.3
Potent in downtier
Before nerf good in uptier - now it has no point being used as everyone has up to 3x the missile count and aesa.
Gaijin move random vics but never the main suspects so I just stopped playing airRB as balance is ignored for £
Ground come soon…
We haven’t heard anything yet, but you’re right, there should be a buff to the Kfir like there was with the F-14.
It has good potential, but it still needs several historical problems and flaws fixed; therefore, just because it’s a good aircraft doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be improved to its historical characteristics.
And that’s why I invite you to read all the reports that a small group of Kfir enthusiasts and I have compiled. In short, the Kfir C.10 Block 60 can compete in the current br if it’s equipped with its true weapons (Python 4/5 and I-Derby-ER missiles) and modern avionics (EEGS, modern RWR, and ECM-EW-ESM).

By the time it gets upgrades the jets around it will get the same. Its had its day, like the game IMO.
Infantry is the writing on the wall.
Python 4 also wouldn’t hurt to add right now but it’s just been in the game files for god knows how long. especially being 13.3 now

That’s true, but I haven’t lost hope; it’s still my favorite vehicle and has a lot of potential.

Python 4 is too much on its own right now. It would be the strongest IR missile in game for aircraft. The community managers have reiterated this as well.
It will be added someday surely, likely this year, but not on its own if that’s what you’re asking for. Contemporaries need to be added as well.
but the AAM-3 is fine?
the Python 4 would NOT hurt to add right now especially if you curb it to just planes that would become less garbage to play, like the Kfir C.10 and F-5TH. i couldn’t care less about what the community managers think in this instance.
