u are aware u can do that right?
looks cool, hope JH7A will get some camo too
I bet it’s a placeholder. They have Spey’s in the game already. F-111A got it’s engines updated today.
you can already do that, and you can even do the pendulum maneuver in a F14B by that
I can only see that you can throttle one engine at a time without switching to the other
split throttle is controlling both engines seperatly
Like if you were flying with a flight stick with two throttles, that you can switch them booth at the same time without switching engine
yes baby!😆
If you look it up, it compares incredibly closely to the Tornado IDS.

PL8B X2 can be installed on two 300KG suspension points
The 250KG high-explosive missile X22. can be loaded with 1 pieces at two 300KG mounting points, 4 pieces at two 1200KG mounting points, and 6 pieces at two 1650KG mounting points.

Weird. Tornado IDS? This looks far more fightery than Tornado but maybe i’m wrong?
The EJ Kai might not be on par, but the Yak-141, Mirage 2k and Tornado F.3/ADV (not sure about the Viggen and J-8F, they seem capable, but I never see them being used) definitely are close enough to the first batch of MiG-29s and F-16s we got
The Phantoms, MiG-21s and 23s are not really competitive with them tho and that is a problem caused by the compression, which gaijin seems unwilling to address
Still, the current top tier has way more variety than a fifth gen top tier could ever offer
(and tbh, I don’t see fifth gen fighter gameplay being any fun with their complete focus on BVR)
@Smin1080p Sorry for pinging you m8 but I really enjoyed the Dev server Q&A last time,
Will there be one this time ? I appreciate the answers and reasonings these bring.
im sure it’s better than Tornado IDS cause the more modern weapon make it can kill ground target easier

I wonder, does anyone know if the Mi-8 AMTSh has auto tracking capability for it’s ATGMs IRL?
From what I can tell the JH-7 is a true fighter-bomber, while the Tornado IDS is a combination of a strike and interceptor aircraft. So naturally the JH-7 would be way more capable in a setting like War Thunder
