Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

do you consider the F-35 a superior fighter than the EF2000?

I just think since the GDR Line ends with 29G, the Strike line ends with Tornado and the Fighter line ends with EF2000 that it would make more sense to put the F-35 in the Strike line as that’s going to be it’s purpose in JaBoG 33 and it would keep a second line alive

We hella wont see the F-35

na the German EFs only got Strike capability with their Tranche 3A and Tranche 4 jets

and that capability is limited to Paveways currently

not realistically implemented for sure

we already have currently in Use tanks so I wouldn’t be so doubtful of seeing currently in use planes too

edit I forgot with F-16 Block 50 and MiG-29SMT we already have In current combat planes already

It’s K/PZS01 for the time being (same as Q-5L) but yeah, it can carry future pods if needed as shown in Zhuhai Airshow

Absolutely! Britain has the potential to rival USA, Germany and USSR on it’s own without even a single commonwealth vehicle being present in their tree!

Unfortunately, the addition of the god-forsaken ZA sub-tree ruined the possibility of getting a light vehicles line.
The addition of Vickers Mk.11 is a step in the right direction, but it still very much saddens me that it will never be in a light vehicles line where it belongs with the Saladin, Warrior variants and Ajax.

We have planes that are still in use ingame, that doesnt mean that something like the F-35 would be even close to a good idea for War Thunder, especially with how every single country except for China and Russia would use the F-35

yes very much so, the Eurofighter is a 4.5th gen aircraft that lacks any proper stealth abilities thus would be lit up like a Christmas tree on high tier radars if stealth is introduced, the only thing keeping the Eurofighter competitive would be the meteor and an aircraft relying on a missile is useless when it can be detected far earlier than any other aircraft

fair, doesn’t Germany also have the weird Vtol starfighter from the late 80s, maybe that could come between the first Tornado and Germanys GR.4 equivalent

well china and russia can get their Prototypes

Thats not the point. The point is that we would end up with matches filled with ONLY F-35s and a handful of J-20s/Su-57s

the Weird VTOl Starfighter is from the 60s, theres also a Weird VTOl Striker similar to the Yak 38

both were never armed, and if they would then with Dumb ordenance and AiM-9B

I may add that neither got far enough to have armarment planned

I don’t see the problem

we have F-16 Vs MiG-29 right now

China has the J-20 and possibly J-35 (give it a few years) whilst Russia has the SU-57 to combat the F-35 and F-22s.

at high tiers it is already one aircraft being used by everyone, its literally F16 versus Mig29s with a few lower rank aircraft peppered in with them

Dunno man, I am still seeing enough Yak-141s, Mirage 2ks, EJ Kais, Tornados and Harriers in the matches

we’d be seeing lower tier planes in such matches too yk

those would be the Rafales, F/A-18s and MiG-35s

Ah yes, I remember when the Rafale and F/A-18 was on par with the F-35

do you know how the BR system works? have you played the game before?

that’s fair then, I think Germany is kinda gonna be stuck like Japan from now on with only 1 or 2 lines making it further due to all the projects being canned after reunification

Sweden and Britain will also be in a similar place if it helps, at least with Britain it has commonwealth/ export aircraft it can get (like the CF-18 or Hawk 200) but those are very hit and miss when it comes to Gaijin

Yeah, lets support gaijin making the BR system worse

late ARMs like meteor and Aim 120D would allow them to, the problem is just detecting the F-35 etc. if gaijin decides to model stealth
