@Smin1080p_WT Good day Smin. Do we any information if it is possible to bind target pod controls to HOTAS just like we can do to radars? I would like to control the T-pod from inside the cockpit in Sim Battles.

Where are SPICE 1000, SPICE 2000 and Popeye for my F-15I now Gaijin?

Out of anything that could come to the game this is my most wanted feature. Actually able to used guided weapons inside of the cockpit would be much better for me personally than the dedicated TGP view.

But we would need the TGP MFD’s to be much more clearer than they are now and also a better ability to zoom the TGP camera instead of only having 2 options

@Smin1080p_WT since the Devs decided to ‘‘fix’’ the Leopard 2’s…
when can we expect these following fixes? cuz on those, you have ACTUAL CLIPPING





surely this wasnt a cherry picked ‘‘nerf’’ and the devs want to ‘‘fix’’ all tanks, yes?

OUTSTANDING!

Now I think I may actually look forward to F-15E!

How will it now compare to F-15C in the air-to-air department? Similar, or better?

I know it was MUCH worse with 220s because of the increased weight, but I wonder how it will be with 229, since it will now also have increased thrust!

Nah, just my speculative quips on what the rumoured Singapore subtree for China might be intended for since RSAF, like ROCAF, operates high-tier F-16s. I didn’t expect Mirage-2000Ei and J-10 to get situated into the same branch.

I am still somewhat disgruntled about combining medium fighters from both sides of the Strait into a single branch but will wait to see where we go from the Mirage.

does it lose mavs? cuz that’s a dealbreaker for me

#where Leopard 2 rework???

Hey. Feel free to submit reports for these vehicles (on per vehicle please) and the team can take a look.

Basically it will be just a little bit worse. It will be the same in the weapons department but worse on manoeuvrability. The 229’s definitely get it close to the F-15C but the added weight just slightly makes it worse for A-A

Leopard 2s were OP /s

I see!

So:
-Before: strike aircraft that lost its whole air capabilities compared to the C variant.
-Now: still with focus on being a strike aircraft, but now almost as capable as C in the air department.

Nice!

That being said; with F/A-18C coming in December, I don’t know whether to spend the modification bonuses I have saved on AV-8B+ and F-15C on F-15E, or save them for F/A-18C, hahahah.

I am just not too well versed in aircraft

Nice, good job everyone. Guess I will put that talisman on the Eagle afterall.
Nothing stands in the way of the EF Typhoon now.

@Smin1080p_WT We seriously have to talk about further BR decompression. Make it at least 14.0 I beg you.

Strike Eagle is heavy due to structural strenghtening, so don´t expect winning any dogfights with it. But I figured it will be unbeatable in the FOX3 jousting, since it gets to altitude and high PK launching speeds quicker than any other plane in the game especially in SB.

Why do we need to report the shown vehicles when you guys changed the leos of your own decision?

Hello there!

Since you are bearer of good news today… would you know if the developers have taken a look at this and considered it? ^^
