looks very similar to a F5
Id have the T.1A in a Red Arrow Livery as a premium and have the gnat as the TT version.
Id also prefer the Hawk 200 more like 11.3 with 9Ls and skyflash than at max BR with strong missiles. Would be a really fun aircraft to have at that BR
but yes, a LOT of potential options for our tree
We could have both? Would love to get the Gnat in-game and also a Red Arrow T.1A would probably sell really well as a premium.
Yeah that’s where it could be split into an Early and Late version. Early with Skyflash and 9L and Late with AMRAAM and ASRAAM. An early Hawk 200 might be better at 11.3 instead of 11.7/12.0, just wasn’t sure whether it had 9L or 9M.
It would be difficult to let countries play catch up when they were in many instances leading developement.
I do agree of course that in those cases implementations should be solid.
F-5 was out of this world when it was newly added while Mirage F.1 was trash for a long time.
F.1 was still playable especially the F.1CT because it had stock Magic 2 which were busted at the time but the flight characteristics were a joke.
Mirage 2000 was suffering for a while in that department after MiG-29 9.12 and F-16 were introduced.
At least France was a bit more active in developement than Britain and therefore is a little easier to balance. God knows why we got a Benelux tree crammed in there.
It would be cool if Eurofighter and Rafale got to slap a bit before further changes to the meta are made but we will just have to see about that.
Especially with the pacing in the next few patches.
China is in a difficult position because it went from largely obsolete to rather modern aircraft in a very short amount of time. The late Chinese Flankers are something to look forward to.
Personally I hope MiG-29 9.12 and SU-27/J-11 get revisited. J-11A would profit from a downtier by 0.3 but it is a matter of perspective.
9M was around when the Hawk 200 first took flight, but 9L would be a smarter option, considering its Subsonic and I would rather not have it bumped to 11.7 and face F-14s in it
Based upon Harrier Gr7, would probably end up more like 12.0/12.3 if it had Aim-9Ms for “reasons”
ASRAAM and Active Skyflash >:)

They had the best Aircraft for a short while
Germany: MiG-29G
China: J-10
Britain: Phantom FGR.2 (First Pulse Doppler), Gripen JAS-39A
mig 29g aint true. the F-16C was already a thing at the time and better
You are right but the F-16C than had only AIM-7M and AIM-9L. Flight Performance wise the MiG-29G is better than the F-16C and R-73s are better than AIM-9L so I would say at that time the MiG-29G > F-16C
iirc it got aim-9m on the dev server
if i remember right the aim 9m was introduced together with the R-73 in the end and the F-16 FM buff happened as well
At the time the F-16 did already outperform mig 29s
ah right there was something there you could be right
depends
yes the R27er still was the best bvr missle at the time
still overall i would say the f-16c outperformed the mig29 besides bvr
I might hope gaijin increase launch range & lock-range of PL-12 someday
- Lock-range : 16 → 20 km
- Launch range : 80 → 100 km
I don’t worried in the future Chengdu J-10A (Early) & Shenyang J-8F increase max BR
AIM-120C-3 & AIM-120C-4 AMRAAM lock-range, launch range and maximum overload like SD-10A, my guess.
AIM-120C-3, AIM-120C-4, AIM-120C-5, AIM-120C-6 and AIM-120C-7
too huge list.
compare 120C-3 to C-5, bruh
Iirc the Mig 29 had better first and 2nd turn due to not having a G limiter, it was after they removed the limiter the F16 would win everytime, prior they just didnt have the nose authority until they got to about 800-600kph. Then they were held back by the limiter. Without that they could pull just as hard as they wanted letting them have better nose authority.
we are not talking about base mig 29,
but later times when the mig29g was already a thing
when was the F-16 buffed?
