With incredibly substandard flight performance and ordnance.

😿 Especially if poor Gripen is any indicator of what happens to agile deltas

Also high TWR aircraft with mostly BOL… Gunna be hard work flaring anything

Really hope they unfuck it by then.

Both halves of it. Both how they model IR sigs and how they model BOL

Yep. It’d also allow magics to be finally brought on parity with reality. And MICA IR could be added without too many issues. Though MICA IR does need to be added with Rafale tbch.

Yeah, it would bring a lot of aircraft onto parity. Sea Harrier FRS1 would be awesome if it wasnt the hottest thing in the known universe and AIm-9Ls couldnt be 1 tapped flared in rear aspect

I don’t really know anything about the Swedish Air Force. Hopefully there’s still some options left. As much as I advocate as a US main, it doesn’t mean I don’t want other nations to get their ish too. Like I know Germany needs something top tier air wise. Poor sods have a phantom and a sluggish Mig-29 as their best. Would be nice to see them get either, I think it’s the K model(?), or some updated variant. Definitely give them the Swiss F/A-18 when the Hornet finally comes to the game.

Hey, the new previews for the graphic settings are NEAT!

Finally, we can check the different settings without having to trial-error every time, hahah.

Sweden can receive Gripen E. Or if they want to fuck us over, a later designation Gripen C.

I mean it’s very likely that they (Germany) are going to get a Swiss 18C in december and that the EF will likely come in the june 2025 update.

I’ll deny that hornet until I can look at it’s devblog/stream appearance

I really reallly realllly reallllly doubt it’ll come

a Gripen E and a Finnish F-18C

Question- does anyone else have huge FPS issues with Ray Tracing?

On the Live server, I am on the 100-200 FPS range at all times; averaging 140-180.

However, on the Dev Server, I am on the 35-45 FPS range with the new features enabled…

I want to hope it’s just the Dev Server being unstable, or a problem with my Dev client/the disk it’s installed on, hahah. But I wonder what your experiences are so far.

I mean, I got an RTX 3060 (12GB) and 16GB of installed RAM, I didn’t expect to drop to the 30 FPS range from 200 FPS just from Ray Tracing…

It’s your opinion and you are free to have it, I’m not here to argue to convince you.

However you said the same with the F-111C iirc.

Kills it for me. Isn’t even much prettier.

no, I didn’t comment on the F-111c at all

i said I find the F-117 unlikely because of it’s performance and here we are, it’s a low performing 8.7

In my opinion, the visual improvement is amazing;

But if it’s going to make me drop from 200 FPS to 35 with an RTX 3060… it would make me very sad.

I couldn’t notice much improvement. Are you running everything maxed?
