I want AA in general to get better before CAS does but if this leak list is anything to go off of… That’s not happening.
Edit: The Strike Eagle, Fullback, and GR4 will eat SPAA alive

Personally the Pantsir is not that, in terms of taking out aircraft, overpowered. It is though, in comparison to other SPAA platforms, overpowered and unbalanced. Especially since the best CAS platform in game, the SU-25SM3 is on the same team and fires outside of every other SPAAs range, and its missiles don’t get intercepted because other SOAA radars don’t have a PESA TWS that shows missiles.

What would the Hellduck and F-15E add that would “eat SPAA alive”
ill take it, if they arent gonna make britains ground vics competitive then giving us better CAS will allow us to level the playing field
If you can spawn in an aircraft and immediately be in range on an SPAA thats broken
Same… SLAMRAAM, radar Type 81 (C), SPYDER… it is time for those already…
I almost look forward to these as much as new MBTs, if not more. After all, no amount of MBTs helps when you just get anigilated from the stratosphere thrice in a row with no chance to defend yourself.

Fullback gets KH38s and the Strike Eagle might get some of it’s own funny unique weapons like the AGM130, but even base maverick Ds are still scary after the damage buff in Seek and Destroy.
Imo the 34 is going to be a counterpart to the SM-3 that trades optics for survivability, basically an upgraded 24. Not having long ranged thermal optics is going to limit what it can do, definitely don’t think it’ll be some new gamebreaking vehicle.
Skysabre my beloved where are you
it’s an SM3 that can defend itself
SU-34M I believe is the variant that receives the KH-38 missile
The UK can also possibly get the TF KAAN. And before anyone has a go at me about Brit mains claiming everything, I do not care about the F-117.
The TF KAAN is made as a joint-venture between TAI and BAE. Many of the avionics are based on BAE products and Eurofighter avionics that have been modified to be produced in Turkey as well as the overall design being based on prior BAE stealth research. The nation in-game it fits best is Britain just like if the KF-21 was to come now it would likely be best placed in the US tree as Lockheed Martin helped them produce it.

wasted opportunity to add the scorpion to the UK btw
Depends if it gets its thermal pod or not.
34 doesnt have an IR channel, the 34M does tho.

This is not the place to discuss this really, either head to a thread about it or PM each other. Thank you.

They would have to add an SU-34M to get an infared pod, I think that’s unlikely, and expect a more early variant. The SU-34M would be pretty busted.
Okay forum father
They might do it like the SU-24M and have aspects of each aircraft in a random modification that doesn’t fully add the M2 upgrade.
Funny enough Japan was probably the closest (compared to other minor in game nations) to have a domestic gen 5 fighter sadly they went only as far as a tech demo in the form of X-2 Shinshin
