J-10A has a much better radar tho… doesn’t it?

Objectively, the biggest right to complain have the mid tier air battle players cuz for a really long time they didn’t get anything decent. Some late super prop or late 40s jets is something to dream about.

Israeli players who enjoy scouting probably have the biggest right to complain lol.

They have a whole 2 vehicles that can do so. One is a TD and the other is an M113 based SPAA.

I’m hoping one of the moderators can at some point clarify the lack of ATGM’s for the JH-7A, as it’s a bit weird considering how important that ordinance is for the plane. Would be like if the A-10 came without any TV guided weapons

The december update will most likely release the week of christmas

I can’t wait to see the leak list for the 2.33 update. ))))))
We roughly know what’s coming, but it’s always interesting when these lists get things right.

They also have to watch another nation get spikes before them

Nation wise maybe. But If you play all nations then not getting a single one across every single tech tree is kinda more severe.

I won’t lie dude. The fact that I could believe Gaijin stalling the Su-27 for a while makes one wonder. I could totally see Gaijin boning USSR by giving us ANOTHER MiG-29 and giving the J-11 to China because the J-10 “isn’t ready yet”.

This feels a lot less likely to me now seeing that the JH-7A is a completely new asset in the game, so J-10 could come quickly. Yet I have a feeling J-11 and Su-27 may come same patch now to save them effort.

Watch them add neither and instead add another completely new airframe to the US

well there only really that to add to the us

I doubt it. Then again, I thought we’d get Su-27 as our next big plane, and that SMT would be backfill mid next year at some point. I’m still holding just the tiniest shred of hope that Su-27 comes out in December, but I’m not expecting it at this point.

The exact kind of shit that keeps me up at night man. That and the MiG-29K. Give the USSR a g’d missile bus for crying out loud.

I believe it would be a good idea for everyone in here expecting BVRAAMs and F-15s/Su-27s/equivalents to come in the december update to temper their expectations a bit

Yeah, I am sure you guys have been waiting for quite some time and are anticipating that stuff to come soon, but there are multiple other areas that have been pretty much neglected for a while

Oh yeah, hence “shred of hope” and not expectation. I fear I may have to wait about another year for my beloved Su-27. Hopefully by then they’ll be moving quicker with variants, and have figured out game play at that rank/meta, and the Su-30 family will be following shortly after.

Honestly id be looking for an su24 soon. We got the vark, and thats your equivalent.

Yes. I’m thinking it’s a December vehicle. If they do it right, it’s an equivalent for CAS to A-6E, F-14B, F-16C, and F-111A in one airframe, which is honestly okay as the highlight of USSR CAS is a balance between attackers and helicopters typically, not Interdictors.

My biggest want is just our missile bus equivalent which is clearly the Flanker.

God I am so fucking pissed they called the devblog for the F-111 “the ultimate bomber”

They really just don’t want to add strategic bombers, do they?

They are useless in the current gameplay layout. Any strategic bomber that isn’t supersonic will be a free kill
