Forgive me for bringing it up, but there’s some parallels to Yak-141 here no? I know it’s a tired talking point, but a valid one still

I called it, though that is exactly what they would do with the viggen Di
I can think about this plane:
The addition of ARH equipped premium F-16 would be cringe imo.

Everyone is getting squadron vehicles… almost.
some progress has been made, mistrals seem unlikely but iglas maybe an option
Real question to F-20 players, why do you all want AMRAAM’s ?
Like, There’s a realistic chance for it to get dropped to 12.3 at some point and not have to face top tiers, and even if this doesn’t happen, top tier will inevitably expand to 14.0+ in time, where again, it will find itself in a nice place, in that ‘Just below top bracket’ which is a downtier sweetspot.
If you give it AMRAAM’s, it will probably have to go to 13.7, and now you have a plane that’s just going to get bullied by Eagles, Flankers, and in future things like Typhoon etc for years to come. Seems like massive short termism no?

I get the impression from quite a few that they don’t expect a BR change. There is a guy who legitimately thinks the su-39 with 2x r-77 either won’t move or only be 12.0

Idk someone showed a gif of TEC getting up with only a shirt on and hes still around for some reason
The situation for Germany in WT is lamentable. It’s classified as one of the “Big Three,” yet it doesn’t remotely receive the same amount of content as the USA and USSR. On the other hand, since it’s not classified as a minor nation, it doesn’t get nearly the same attention most of the minor nations have been receiving in recent years.

youre aware “the big three” isnt anything official and that its just something the playerbase came up with?
if you really want a modern big three go to us, russia and china

Wait. for real? I cant see F20 going down anytime soon. I dont have it tho
@Panther2995 That stuff is pretty much as classified as it gets, so no. We can make “assumptions” but ultimately it’s up to Gaijin. Sometimes they are MEGA strict and require definite first hand sources, and sometimes they just change stuff around for no explicit reason…
Sweden has had link16 for 20 years, they have close relationships and is part of Nordic alliance they’re in NATO as of recently, Gripen is known to have world-class sensor suites and EW capabilities, Morvran mentioned something about the Tornado RWR maybe having a connection…
@Gunjob could you maybe look into this?

It’s not something created by the players (when I think of the “big three,” it’s about the most popular and widely played tech trees, which should therefore receive the most content. Supply and demand.
Up to rank V and part of VI, Germany received content at the same pace as the USA and USSR. The issue is that it couldn’t keep up later on due to “historical limitations”. These historical limitations seem to matter a lot when it comes to the German TT, but not at all when they add Soviet vehicles to the British TT, Hungarian things to Italy, or, soon, items from Singapore to China. ;)

Honestly, the only reason i suggest it could possibly go down is because we have Anniversary sale and Winter sale barely two months apart, and when thousands of Level 10’s get into this thing, and find out the hard way Aim-9L / 7F don’t really cut it in AMRAAM-Thunder, it might damage the stats enough for Snail to drop it.
Like i said though, even if that doesn’t happen, we will surely get 14.0 when the likes of Typhoon are added, so it’s probably going to escape the top tier bracket one way or another, and when that happens it will be in an incredibly strong spot.
I mean, it is not in promo this anniversary
I believe (unless i’m mistaken?) it’s featured in console sales?
So, other nations should become even less popular, nice logic 👍
You need to send your resume to Gaijin.

i see where youre coming from but theres a problem
with that im not saying youre dumb or anything, its moreso that thats your specific view on what makes a nation big. you can argue its my opinion too sure but germany fell off long ago vehicle wise with not much too add for the current period which would fit in the game when looking at other nations too. this is probably why china for example has been getting so much love lately, they have plenty of homegrown vehicles they could have, meaning theyre not depending on say, the US to get an F-18 for example. the player count doesnt matter in this
