I have seen so much copy&paste in this game. Leopards 2 are now almost in any tree. Now a new copy&paste air defense is being added.

But it was not possible to add an F-5E Tiger II Swiss Air Force to the german tech tree - disappointing

J8F at same BR, if u add irccm it would mean higher BR, such as JF17 which is more manoeuvrable but slower. (just to clarify, Tornado is overtied)

F4F KWS is 13.0 next update. AV-8B already is 13.0.

Oh, did they say ICE is 13.0, didn’t realise, AV8 is just not as competent cause it is subsonic after all. How many AMRAAMs does the 37 carry? J8F’s BR is here because 1. it is a gen 3 (RU) after all, like ICE, and 2.it has 2 PL12s. The radar of Ja37 is good though.

AV8B’s being subsonic hinders it far less than the F4F KWS or the Tornado F3 having awful FMs hinders them. The JA37 isn’t much better FM wise but lacks crucial avionics

What RWR, and how many AMRAAMs, cause I do know how AV8s are devastating at down tiers raining down AMRAAMs at premium spammers, but what about Ja37, what standard is the RWR? Omnidirectional right?

it doesn’t even have the capability to guide them outside of their pitbull range…it has 0 DL channels

its missing a lot but some just arent things in game

which doesnt really matter when we’re talking about how good it’ll be in WT

I mean, it is ok, cause not really reliable to lob even AIM120 beyond 16km anyway, but anyhow, that does suck a bit.
And also, does any one know how many AMRAAMs JA37 will be able to carry and what is specs for the RWR?

well it depends bc its flight model is underperforming and ive got the evidence for it
its rwr should be better but it requires an ecm pod which isnt in game tho that hasnt stopped the Su-34
It should have some datalink
and its radar should be further reaching

Flight model I think they have talked about, what about radar and data link, any source?

Radar ive got a passed bug report on, fairely recent so dont be too hopeful
Datalink is hard to tell but most sources seem to say that a viggen can guide another viggens skyflash which isnt the same as in game but it is fairly advanced in DL for the time
The overall datalink goes a lot into the hunterlink but specifies that datalink and hunterlink are separate so there is more to it just i cant prove much more than that
