if people would start to actualy read my posts they would realise that
this is exactly the thing i said should happen
I’m just not sure why you’re bringing up the opposite possibility, when the evidence we have is against it occurring. Thought I’d missed something.
First off, this was a jab at the Lavi = J10. Second off, i’ve been in this community for a while now, no need to welcome me.
He is most likely pulling your leg by some how imported a user model into the asset viewer.
The fact that it’s got no markings and really similar to Tanaka model just says it all really
To be honest, we’re going too far with too little
One of the biggest things that are becoming important and that we don’t have are jammers.
Actually, any type of ECM, as we don’t have any system like that aside from the IRCM of the Su-39.
This is because with the way Gaijin is rushing new top tier aircraft, we’re probably going to get the Su-27 and the F-15C in Winter 2023 or Early 2024, both of which are powerful aircraft with unmatched electronics and combat capabilities.
In fact, ECM should have been added years ago because many aircraft that they added long ago had them.
For example: You wonder what’s the little “drop tank” below the MiG-21SMT that blocks the airbrake? That’s the ECM pod, which carries countermeasures and ECM equipment, but in War Thunder it only gives it the former option.

It doesn’t mean anything. I remember that Leopard 2 PSO came to the La Royale devserver in the spring among CDK files, but it was only added to the game in the Sons of Attila release.

Yeah, ECM systems really got neglected, it’s not like there wouldn’t have been enough airframes with ECM capabilities either
At this point I am not even sure if we’ll ever see more ECM systems other than IRCMs like those on the Su-25T/39 and certain helis/tanks
Would be interesing to see the CTA40 this update for France or UK; APDSFS + HE-VT is a nice combo.
None of the possible carriers would be ground breaking. In the case of France there is the VBCI 2 (T40) or the EBRC Jaguar; in the case of UK there is the Ajax or a modernized Warrior.

Hopefully, Gaijin stops rushing aircraft, and thinks about the features that need to be added to existing aircraft, because in a world of radar missiles and powerful radars, something so simple like an ECM pod is forgotten between all the talk about Decompression and Powercreep.
Give the existing aircraft the capabilities they had to defeat the most common threat in top tier: SARH missiles.
And that’s just ECM, there are a lot of things that need to be added to existing aircraft

Ima be realistic, Gaijin will probably add the Gripen, the F-15 and the Su-27 next update, because we know Gaijin more than they do
Yes, that’s how it was. And the model was still in a mercilessly bad condition. No developer obviously cared about it. Only when the community went on the barricades did they react. I’m really curious to see what comes out of “new Power” in the end.
As much as I hate to admit it, that would be right on gaijins alley
F-14A flashbacks

Thankfully Smin had said USSR just got the SMT so no new USSR jets this update. Su-27 etc is out of the question

at least for this update, not sure about the december one lol
i mean, what else are they going to add
They already got the Late Cold War light fighters, the ones that prioritized Point Defense or Agility
Now they probably will add the “heavy” ones, the Eagle and the Flanker
It 's model had actually been in the CDK earlier, during the 2021 2.7.0.55 leak. Along w/ the Type 10 and the Leclerc SXXI.
Realistic thinking aside, I hope they add MAW next update, because the AIM-9M’s smokeless motor is absolutely annoying in Top Tier Air Sim
(Oh right! They don’t care about Air Sim!)

LCAs and Advanced Trainers would be a logical addition, but those wouldnt generate the amount of hype that F-15s, F/A-18s and Su-27s would
F-18, maybe?
The big speculation will be: what’s this new top tier jet for Britian?
Something capable of fighting toe to toe with MiG-29SMT, MiG-29As, F-16s, F-14s…
I don’t think Sea Harrier FA.2 matches this description. It’s a brick airframe. Its only redeaming quality would be AMRAAM.
My bets would probably be on CF-18 as its a pretty good analogue for F-16 and F-14 performance wise. Armament doesn’t matter, as thats how Gaijin handles balance.
