Name of the document? Yes, use the real characters please. Easier for me to find it in the OG text.
You don’t. The mavericks do not require CFTs. The AMRAAMS do not require CFTs. The centerline GBUs do not require CFTs. And now that I think about it, the quad rack SDBs have been flown centerline as well, so that’s 6x AGM-65s, 4x SDBs, and 4x AIM-120s without CFTs
So Taiwan, with it’s F-16’s and M1 Abrams are the only non Sino-Soviet equipment at 10.7+? Indonesia is definitely neutral if not historically (at times) and presently friendly to China.
Japan getting Thailand and Singapore is already plenty to flesh that tree out, is it not?

Won’t need it though, there is the AGM-124 & AGM-187A the latter is mounted on the BRU-61/A which are basically their US counterparts (but better), which each carry 4x AGM-187A, GBU-39/B, or GBU-53/B.
Of which the F-15E can take 7x BRU-61 + stations remaining for additional ordnance
F-16C either 2 or 4x, not entirely sure of they can replace the fuel tanks
A-10C with 4x visually confirmed, though articles mention a 6x configuration

I don’t know about the EW on the EFT, but we’ve seen multiple occasions now where Flankers have appeared out of nowhere, whilst sporting Khibniy pods, one was even against the vaunted F-35.
I’m not saying the F-35 isn’t great (F-22 is top dog in RCS), but we just don’t know how things stack up. No one has tried operating against S-400, 500, or 550 yet, and Russia has yet to explore targeting NATO assets (within large ground-based radar range) with it’s more advanced AD.
Much like the Serbians got a lucky blind shot cranking the fq on their old S-125’s on the F-117, the “impossible” is possible. This is especially the case with Russian AD which is (when compared to western AD like Patriot, David’s Sling, Iron Dome, etc.) superior to it’s Western compatriots (no AD is perfect, but Russia’s numbers are good).
Ultimately, we’re dick-measuring things that no one will ever (hopefully) know.
EFT better than Su-35? Maybe? Better than first gen jammers on the original production Su-27’s? Certainly.
I have a hunch (hope I’m wrong) that the Italian and German Osa’s will have the same range, as the later Romanian Osa’s were upgraded to the M model well after 1991 (not that that means anything to the devs, but does seem to be a factor).
Is it the end of the world to not have the K when you get the Aussie C?
I have some disagree in “latest vehicle” though, Gaijin mainly speedrun to add the top br vehicles. the lower br is more random.
I checked PLZ-45’s information, and found that I forget it’s half auto loading, and old type hull, then it will be enough difference to be a new enough vehicle.
Yes I want PLZ45 to come between PLZ83 and PLZ05 to fill the 7.x BR gap

T38 air defense system from Belarus. some kind of super OSA with T382 missile. A maximum cross range of 10km, maximum slant range of 20km

They have a little. During Operation Shader, where Typhoons were conducting airstrikes against ISIS, it was not uncommon for the Russians to lock onto the Typhoons transitting from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. The RWR at the very least was able to identify the exact state the Russians SAMs were in and thus the pilot knew whether they needed to defend or not. So long as they were only being looked at by the radar, they generally ignored them, but were ready and prepared to defend against the threat if needed and the pilots were confident they could defeat the SAMs if needed. But figured it was likely a bluff. This incident is outlined in the book “Typhoon” by Mike Sutton.
As for the EW on the EFT, we have seen in engagement between the Luftwaffe Typhoons and F-22s that the F-22s often have to close the distance greatly before being able to lock on and “fire”. Greatly mitigating their ability to fire from long range. They had to close within 50km iirc. So it is exceptionally strong.
Fun fact, the Foxhunter radar on the Tornado F3, when used to lock onto Mig-29s and I think Su-27s as well, would completely and totally jam their radars :D

Yes, it is dangerous to insist on searching for information on this ammunition, and I have stopped looking for information about this ammunition
Any source for this statement?
Afaik Romania received AKM variant from USSR in the second half of 80s, there weren’t any modernization later.
they should probably remove the AJ then, they didnt want it and rejected it, it also now no reason for it in the game
I am all for replacing the AJ so-
either with a prototype F2 or with the actual F-16AJ that they tested out before rejecting it.

probably with a proto F2 and even then it was added since japan had nothing, with the F15J they dont need it at all now so wouldnt need the tested version either
something is telling me if we ever got EW in warthunder that part will be forgotten

it’s not a good idea to remove it and just make a massive hole. replacing it is the best course of action to make the jump from the F1 to the F-2 less jarring.
I am already against BR placements that let players skip like 3 brackets.
Edit: Also removing without replacing means you need to refund 400k RP to everyone so-
