Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

With the Indian T-90, Im beginning to question whether they even see us as a TT anymore

thats not quite what i meant, i meant if there is a process of how theyre selected

but thanks for the answer anyways

UK has never been in “Big”, it’s kinda on the border between “Big 3” and “Minor” nations. While Germany is still a part of “Big 3” just because of the amount of playerbase it has.

At least not since Spitfire days and then I’ve heard there were quite strong when Hunter was added.

That might be inline w/ why they stopgapped the Mitsubishi F-2, something similar sees to be going on w/ that. The comparison Smin made earlier abt the F-104S ASA, which was constantly asked for and denied until it 's historical AIM-9L minimum armament was considered balanced, seems apt.

The ASA to F-16 ADF experience also might be a guidestick to how those armaments might be introduced: first on airframes below the inherent performance level of the existing toptier, then expanding into aircraft which have those weapons by default along w/ much-improved performance in other aspects. The J-8F being slated to receive it 's PL-12 's at the incoming introduction of MR-ARH weapons ties into that, probably.

Yeah, though that would mean no Typhoon for maybe as much as 2 years. Im currently expecting ASRAAM for the Tornado Gr4 sometime end of next year.

But that would just be a truly insane mindset to have. Britian and Germany would essentially cease to exist until then

Well, similar things have happened in the past.

Yeah, FGR2 for 3 years comes to mind. But that would be none the less, be completely insane. They can bury Britain, but I just dont think theyd get away with Burying Germany and italy too for that long and everytime they added later and later jets, teh argument would get worse and worse.

UK is confirmed getting a new top jet.
F-15C can be added to 3 nations, and Gaijin doesn’t do much copy-paste, their #1 priority is new vehicles.

yes, but Britain does not have an aircraft capable of fighting on equal terms with 12.0 aircraft, the last top of Britain in air battles was the phantom; for 3 or 4 years now, Britain has not received decent aircraft for air combat at high br

I don’t know why people thought eurofighter would come before the end of the year. Probably summer of next year at the soonest.

Considering the Italians got stuck with nothing but 104s for like 4 years, and German air being one of the most neglected trees at top tier consistently, I’d be prepared to be screwed. That’s if we even get a functional eurofighter as well. If snail decides to gimp it in one way or another, there’s nothing we as players can do because everything is classified.

JDAMs had laser-guided and passive infrared-guided versions. but they are modern.

did they denied them?

Let us pray!

Mayhaps.

Simply put, I’m comparing the parasitic drag of the TY90 to other AAM missiles, like the ATAS, AIM9L, 9M39, which have surprisingly high parasitic drag, resulting in an ineffective helicopter in combat Forgive me if I’m using Google Translate to converse, as my native language is not English.
