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

There’s literally no point for JA37D to exist without AIM-120.

yes, to have 9L on a Viggen C without the need to uptier it

Well Germany’s F-4F ICE is foreshadowed beyond belief. AV-8B+ being added before 8NA means they are working on the entire F-18 radar user fleet.
If I checked radar use, I would’ve predicted AV-8B+ alongside F-4F ICE. I always forgot to check what radar ICE used.

@Texas_Engineer_Mike
Yes there is. To be among the best 11.7s in the game. That’s like saying F-4C is pointless without 9Ls.

We’ve only had two BR raises this year.

The F-4C is very much bad at 10.0.

I heard F4F ICE had F/A18 Radar minus the IFF because there wasn’t enough space for it

You can’t be serious rn.

We’ve had one. From 12.0 to 12.3, with Mig-29SMT & F-16C.
12.0 was decompression, which led to notable 11.3s moving to 11.7 as well.

JA37Ds were Cs with added 9L, AMRAAM and BOL.pod capabilities

they were a stopgap solution until the Gripens were ready

11.7 to 12.0 was a BR raise, whether it was for decompression or not.

Ok? I know that but it doesn’t change that fact that JA37D is worthless without AIM-120. Skyflash is simply trash at 11.7, AIM-9L can be easily flared and Viggen’s FM is on 11.0 level.

I am aware of it and I agree with you

im more fronting gaijin with that cuz they could’ve just given the C it’s 9L

now I have to grind the whole Finnish tree just to get a slight missile upgrade

Well if you really want RB74 for your Viggen then just get the AJS. JA37D should get RB99 which was the main feature of this version btw. JA37D without BR99 would be like F-14 without AIM-54.

I’m confused, would the Mig -21-93 go too the USSR, China, or both?

Why China?

perhaps, keep it in mind

XF-2 could be the same BR as the F-16C or one higher like 12.7 so very doable compared to a completely new airframe like the F-15J (that’s assuming we even get the F-15C).

probably it with ∆ painting decal

XF-2 would’ve started development after F-15 and is an entirely new airframe.
We’re at F-15C BRs and obviously we’re getting F-15C as that’s Japan’s only option for 12.3.

@Texas_Engineer_Mike 9Ls easily flared? I’m sure the victims of my F-16A would disagree with you on that.

Was confused by the video that’s all
