that literally makes no sense if theres upgrades to the tracking software and hardware then it is an upgrade by the definition of the word, they are infact different and teh B is better than teh A it is not an identical missile as it is in WT
im using the term minor nation as its quite stupid to call france, britian, china, and isreal minor nations, hell even japan has a pretty sturdy army.
yet in game theyre treated like useless little trees that are if anything sub trees not worth grinding.
and that idea you had while i like it seems really convoluted n difficult to pull off without someone getting butt hurt af
The F-2 likely won’t get added for another couple of updates because of its radar. They could add prototypes of the F-2 instead with some gimped radars but it’s unclear to me if these would be able to mount any kind of guided A2G weaponry due to Japans laws. Either way, the addition of subtrees in the long run really helps build playable lineups for nations like Japan that don’t have many vehicles overall.
Is that another Japanese IFV? It’s hard to tell when most 4x4’s start to look the same.
This is related to the Type 16 MCV, and more closely to the CTWV RCV.
The ICV differs from the RCV in that the former has an unmanned turret, and lacks the observation mast. Cosmetically, it also loses the satcom on the move (the bulb at the back), which will improve combat towards the rear.

These kind of “law myths” are outdated. The JASDF has various Air-to-Ground munitions in service, inlcuding AGM-65G. The F-2 can get up to eight GBU-38 or GBU-54, with the option of JDAM-ER due to technical possibility, as well as ASM-2B, on which we are unsure about its A2G capabilities though. In the future, Stealth Cruise missile based off Type 12-SSM kind are planned.
Additionally, the F-15JSI is planned to get JASSM-ER. The sale of these has already been approved.

There are some other missiles in development currently, but the F-2 can also take the supersonic ASM-3 and the longer range ASM-3A.

Well I know now they can possess these weapons but if I’m not mistaken when these kinds of vehicles were developed/bought they couldn’t have them. Like the F-15J for example that doesn’t have GBU-8s or JDAMs like the American and Israeli F-15s.
Can somebody look at how much squadron xp cost the new squadron vehicles?

There are various pictures of the XF-2s with JDAMs and many different configs, no problem there. However, an XF-2 with AN/APG-68 would likely not be able to use AAM-4.
In case of the BMP-2MD, its 400k.

Yeah… And they’ll probably be gimped in terms of performance in some way. Can’t have CN > RU.
Yes, and man am I extremely excited to finally replace the Type 89.

It’s just going to be different. J-15 will slap, it will be like an Su-34’s radar (as we’ve seen it so far), full multi-role suite, HMD, Chinese Fox-3’s and RVV’s, should have integration for PL-8 if they want too.
China will play like a more cerebral stand-off Flanker, Russian flankers will be a little more user friendly (if you know not to blow all your speed in your only turn) with more role distinction.
Funny enough that is exactly what happened. Though I’d argue currently there is nothing convoluted really.
What’s new is really only that instead of “subtrees”, the nations in an in game factions are proper nations foldered together. These share the same lineups, so selecting them is like selecting different branches of air/ground/navy, in that the currently selected lineup stays shown.
This even has the additional benefit that you don’t get nonsensical tech tree placement because Gaijin tried to push multiple nations in one. The individual trees could be organized a lot nicer, with more clean lines for vehicle types.
It also gives enough space to prevent folder hell like the Swedish Strv 103s both being foldered behind Centurion derivatives.
Though I’m of course always open to any ideas for improving the suggested interface. It’s of course only a suggestion and anything that makes it more convenient to use is appreciated.

i mean you still are missing the point of what i mean, im saying for example both Britain, and France are not minor nations, or counties and should not be treated as fuch in warthunder at all. china, japan, isreal as well are all major militaries within the world, and sweden and italy as well to a slightly lesser extent.
the fact germany, russia n america are getting so many god damned vehicles is insane to me. the fact they just ram whatever they want wherever they want is insane to me. the Netherlands for example should of went to germany due to how their militaries work with one another.
Not completely ruin France due to having better modelled vehicles in game.
doing what you say just moves the problem around rather than actually adress the issue.
Look at italy and britain, their best top tier jet is a damn gripen, yet IRL the tornados that were developed were actually effective. the ariete while IRL isnt an amazing MBT it still is an effective MBT or it would of been left in the dust long, long ago yet its still in service but the best tank for italy is a leopard 2a7. france the leclercs are that underperforming that the new leopard 2a6 for the tree will be the best ground vehicle hell even the 2a5 will be better than the leclercs. The challanger 2 tanks are now considered the worst top tiers in game with no argument to even make them considered worth using and they have literally no other choice.
thats just a tiny amount of the problems with the game, game modes, incorrect models, incorrect weaponry, ridiculous BRs, ridiculous additions to trees. for example why not add spain to italy rather than hungry??
edit, compression is a ridiculous problem, like why move all the 4th gen jets down.
these issues are massive and definitely are more important than just re organising how minor nations ,that IRL are global super powers, are treated in game

Same here
I just hope they fix the IR and radar signature, because it’s quite a let down in it’s current state
Also, if they gave it 2x AIM-9 I wouldn’t mind. It was technically possible, it just wasn’t used

doubt theyll do either.
The funny thing about the leopards being added to France is that at least for me I’m still taking the Leclercs over the Leopards, the only one that I might take over the first Leclerc is the 2A6 and that’s just for the raw pen, other than that the Leclercs are faster and reload faster.
