any idea what to do while waiting new plane to arrive
can we do that after germany got a cas capable gen 4 plane? which isnt a brick and has standoff missles?
Same as the F-16AJ was rejected : ) lol
The F-117 is a subsonic brick with no guns, no missiles, no countermeasures and only 2 fricking bombs.
Any attacker with more than 2 bombs will already outperform the F-117 in game.

AJ was to provide Japan with a top tier balanced fighter in line with everyone else with a lack of any other options contextually at the time.
The situations don’t compare at all.

If we completely ignore the stealth aspect of the system of course.
I was still refering to the originial ones he suggested. The ATD just looks like a PL turret on a fat chassi, the 2A8 is just a regular leo 2 with some boxes for the Eurotrophy sticking out the side of the turret.
KF51 is a unique vehicle, and the ARC has a completely different turret so I don’t see how they go against what I said as the EMBT and tracked Boxer were just some examples, it’s not like I said they are the only ones.
Hello! This may be too much to ask, but…
Could you answer, just a “yes” or “no”, if I can be looking forward to anything at all for any of for the next major update? I just want to rest my mind at last :’)
Ground 12.0: US, UK, USSR, GER, JAP, FR, SWE, ISR
Naval 7.0: US, GER
Let’s hope their Swiss F-18 will get CAS ordnance, or they just get the Typhoon in time. (or both)
Unfortunately it is too much to ask. Because once I answer you, guess what everyone else is going to do? :)

So if the AJ was added due to the lack of options then I’m sure they would be grateful for Singapore and Indonesia sub tree, right ?
Oh wait hang on

Understandable, still worth a shot :P
On a more actually consequential matter, have we got any news regarding Type 10’s steering yet? ^^
What will stealth do exactly on the F-117 in game?
In air RB planes will just come close to you for a gun kill, exactly nothing it can do to stop them.
And for ground it’s even less useful. SPAA can just manually guide the missile to the F-117 and kill it without much trouble. It’s a subsonic brick, not a 4th gen figher.
I mean, if you have no clue what upgrades the vehicles actually bring, then yea they’re not much different :D

ignoring the additional front chassis armor, side armor, rcws and aps system you see as well as the upgrade to the L/55
additional chassis change coming for upgraded engines, rcws, the eurothrophy and the covers of those they revelead recentlyish
they do change a lot on the view as well. Certainly more then leclercs, abrams etc ever did
Explode?
when hardkill APS vehicle gonna be added to germany? since the KF41 goes to italy tt
For GRB,
What is cloud cover?
What are night battles?
What is attacking from an unusual angle?
:p
Situational usage always exists, not everything has to be meta as devs like to point out, a lot. Would be fun to use to harass SAM systems.
Rule of cool should always have some leeway on things, would just be a fun and interesting event vehicle given the UK is likely in a very niche group offered the plane.

I agree, UK atleast has a gripen and it’s getting a new tornado for cas hopefully with brimstones. Japan literally didn’t have anything competitive ( Germany is just barely competitive at this point but I’m hoping this will be addressed soon). Better solution would of been to add a sub tree to Japan so that an alternative to f16aj didn’t need to be added. But then there’s always some sort of controversy, politics, did the vehicle exist, etc etc, can’t ever win
I wish there will be T-14 or Abrams X .That is truly unique.
