Damn, that’s crazy.
nah, you were pretty much on point. they developed their own airframe design with the F-2
its a true domestic design.
regarding AESA, doesnt the new Mi-8 get one?
or did they remove it since its announcement?
Look at the 229 for F-15E even. Forgetting that the US already has the F-16C for CAS, the F-15E doesn’t even need the engines to do its job. It’s just now going to be the best F-15 the US has (and best F-15 in general). Though I’d argue that Gaijin should give the US their F-15E with AESA radar and call it a day since Su-34 comes with its PESA.
Yes, but kinda the point. I cant think of a better test bed for AESA Beta Testing than a Heli, especially if we predict the F-2 in 6 weeks in the December update.
F-2 probably otherwise could have come last december without much issue
Yeah… How the F-15E isnt 14.0 is beyond me.
Also had a thought… They need to overhaul designations. F-16C is classed as a fighter right? That means they get 2 very good CAS spawns at the low SP cost you get with the first spawn of each type. Not the only one but most dont have THAT strong of a multirole, especially in the Strike aircraft designation
Yeah fair
I love how the devs introduce the 15E with 229s but keep insisting that Eurofighters are “too modern” literally holding back 3 techtrees… UK, Italy and Germany.
And then the 15E is 13.7… biggest joke of 2024 😂

France as well if you include the Rafale and maybe also Sweden with the Gripen E. (gripen C does okay, but is starting to be outclassed)
China maybe too with the J-10B but they did just get the J-10A
France is in the same boat as Japan. AESA radar…
Im not an expert on chinese Equipment, but doesnt the 10B also at least have a PESA?
The early Rafale’s don’t have AESA radars.
Yeah, though iirc their early AESA were rubbish, way worse than most M-Scan radars we already have in game. I reckon its the FM holding back the Rafales (maybe also a decision regarding MICA IR)
No idea, you probably know more than me :D
If the F-15E is classified as a attack aircraft/not a fighter than yea, they get both CAS at initial SP cost which is crazy.
Given how they nerfed the Su-34s radar (albeit still good), it’s clear that AESA won’t really be much different. I’m sure overtime they’ll update AESA to behave differently as a new FOMO mechanic, but just like the PD stuff with the old british phantoms, it’s being slowly rolled out in a WIP phase.
I can understand the MICA IR part but there are Pics out there of rafales with magic 2s…
iirc from the Dev server. it is
then that would be fine thne, Its not another placeholder like the RMV is then
I wish i would have become a flyboy, but alas i was only a lowly leo loader… Oh well 😄
Yeah true 👍
Rules of WT law.
No nation shall outlasted Russia’s military technologies.
that means no Depleted Uranium Armor, no AIM-120C, no AGM-114L or other F&F AGM, and surely no AESA radar (until Russian aircraft suitable to implement to the game).
