It’s for sure with where ever the hell the Me P.1101 Went.
I mean the Bell X-5 is just a carbon copy of it right ?

“Although superficially similar, the X-5 was much more complex than the P.1101, with three sweep positions: 20°, 40° and 60°, creating an inflight “variable-geometry” platform.”
A design inspiration for variable sweep design based off of it but heavily modified and modernized it seems.

Track link from failed project of putting its suspension and engine together with weight to find out it cant even handlw 120 tons. And you can see info from that person isnt real.

Yeah, the only major changes were inflight variable geometry and different engine

Well since the Me P.1101 did fly but didn’t fly with armament but had it in after the first test flight.
I count that as a good addition after the 229.

Instead of another prototype they should add the he280 first. First true jet fighter.
The first jet to fly was the He 178 which didn’t have armarment and more like testbed.
But still stupid that we don’t have the he280 ingame. It would even give an alternative to the mk108s with 3 20mm guns

Honestly there like 10 more fun end war jet’s they can add not only unique but different play styles too.

There should be more ww2 planes in general. Every update has tons of high tier shit and sometimes a few ww2 tanks but ww2 planes are rare.
I am still waiting on the american flying wing bombers

Yeah. Italy will get the best and most advanced German stuff. This sold out of German strategic partners and allies to countries like Italy and Sweden will ruin War Thunder Germany. Everything good from the Leopard 2A7+ up to the Panther tank will end up in the Italian tree. Rest will be snatched by Sweden, since it get the stuff of our partners up north. Gajin has a clear agenda, I suppose.
PS: Hungary also shows interest on the Skyranger and has stuff like Gepards and the Panzerhaubitze. Give it 1-2 years and Italy will have the most powerful German lineup. Followed by Sweden.

Make sense though, the money is in the top tier stuff and far less so in the low tier stuff.

I 100% understand why German mains are pissed, but I do find it kinda funny that they are complaining despite having some very strong line-ups in all 3 vehicle types. Whilst certainly maybe not as good as it could be, its a hell of a lot better than several nations. Britain for example or Swedish air.

Where is the German jet with more than just 2 standoff weapons? None. Thats a massive issue. You have to spend 850 spawn points for just 2x Mavericks, its simply not economical vs. 6x Mav jets.
Where is the German jet with one of the new nextgem IR missiles? Aim-9M or R-73 Archer? Or the German improved and ECCM’ed Aim-9L/i and i-1? None so far.
GB and Italy have these features at least partially. All three are behind US and SU.
You’ve got the Tornado IDS which by all accounts can reliably get 4 A2G kills, might not have standoff weapons, but certainly usable. Even from what i’ve seen/heard from british players. Tornado Gr1 the usual go to because Pantsir and Tor M1s slap harrier Gr7s out the sky with ease at the moment. PGMs are good, but cost a lot more SP. So GBUs are still the usual I believe.
Mig-29 is vastly superior to the Tornado F3 and whilst the Harrier Gr7 has just gotten the Aim-9M. It is still a sub-sonic CAS jet, not an air superiority fighter.

They take Germany’s greatest strenght, its quite successful defense industry with its joint ventures and partnerships around the globe and Europe in particular…and turn it against ingame Ger tech tree. The Lynx and the “swedish” Leopard dominance will be just the beginning.
Irl it looks like this. Ingame I-t-a-l-y gets it. Or Sweden in other cases. This can’t be true for real. Hungarian German ceremonies upon introduction of Hu-Ger joint ventures. Politicians and German CEOs make their usual public shows and handover ceremonies, symbolic golden keys are handed over to celebrate the first delivered cats or newly opened Rheinmetall plants… Sadly in WT this all means nothing. Its all going to Italy…thats just bs. Especially since there are zero It - Hu connections of this type irl.
Hungary & Germany Are ‘Most Natural Allies’ in Competitiveness, Declares Orbán

- Hungary Matters
German businesses know very well how important Hungarian factories, skilled workers and engineers are to the global success of German brands from vehicle production to the defence industry, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at the inauguration of Rheinmetall Hungary’s plant in Zalaegerszeg.

Could be a lot worse. Imagining if they decided not to give you Mig-29 at all. Leaving your top tier jet an F4 ICE with no AMRAAM. You also actually have the Puma. I know German mains wanted the KF41, but Imagine not even having the Puma. You’ve also got the Wiesel which seems fairly usable even in uptiers. could have just been stuck with the RakjPz 2. You’ve also got quite a well spaced SPAA tree.
Trust me, It could be a hell of a lot worse than it actually is right now
