just slap some kontact 5 on that turret ring and drivers hatch and that would be nice

An Abrams with even more dead weight era? No thanks.

I’d prefer an Abrams that would be a meaningful upgrade, so pretty much the SEPv3.

iz kontact 1 tho

Yes, so useless dead weight at 11.7.

turret ring is much less visible irl than in game

Well if a panzer 4 decides to fire HEAT at you, you know that you are 80% safe

everyone and their grandma has the muscle memory for shooting abrams at the turret ring reducing visibility won’t do anything

thats what im saying vro

Wat?

Besides that the Rafale M would literally be a Bugatti in War Thunder, the Rafale M has the worst flight performance out of all production Airframes, so yea…

They could add the Rafale M LF.1 as its quite unique but I don’t see a reason to add any other Rafale M.

The F/A-18E will have 12x AIM-120B/C and 2x AIM-9M/X right?

Unless everyone is getting better IR Missiles this update NO

Yes it cold mount them

Should have that missile count, but likely 120B/9M and not 120C/9X

missile count correct

Don’t care personally, it’s not that worst i think, the FM would still be great for top tier, plus add some cool gameplay (carriers ops)

I honestly hope we got the 3 Rafale airframe ingame.

i wonder what’s f18e apg79 azimuth

Thats why I specificed AIM-120B/C and AIM-9M/X as I know AIM-9X arent coming but it is part of the aircrafts kit in the future

Single-seat F/A-18E Early (Block I) to USN fighter aircraft line after F-14 Tomcat (F-14A, F-14B & F-14D).

F/A-18E (Block III) before F-35C (Block 3F) ?

F-35B early (Block 2B) after twin-seat legacy hornet ?

New F-16C with AN/APG-83 SABR AESA and F-35A (early) (Block 3i)

Might be F-15E with AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA equipments like F-15EX, except engine and payload

If they give carriers more purpose I could see it becoming relevant
