will say strasbourg looks cool but due to her being scuttled sadly she is stuck with her pre-war outfit that is pretty lacking in anti air

didn’t the one MiG-25 that went mach 3.2 have to have its engines scrapped due to damage from over speed?

yeah the mig25 over mach 2 from what I know literally eats its own engines so eh?

Wasnt that the Mig-25 in general?

They were built to be easy to fix in remote places with little skill and the engines were built to be disposable rather than reliable.

Mig-25 was just a quick and dirty solution to counter the Valkerie

from what i’m seeing in my limited searching, around mach 2.8 max but could go faster, damaging the engines

Something like that, yeah.
idk much about the Mig-25, but that sounds right

I mean, if you really just want to fly over mach 2 you just have to climb up far enough in any of the supersonic top tier jets lol

the typhoon can hit mach 2 on the deck (if the airframe wouldnt rip itself apart anyway lol)

Is it going to be given a French name then? It makes no sense for the French to call it the Panzerspähwagen Panhard zwei null vier (Französisch) Panzerabwehrkanone achtunddreissig

They would have just called it as they originally did, AMD.35 [with a] PaK 38

AMD.35 (PaK 38)

They already have Lockheed wont release the source code.
Meteor was in service before the F-35.
UK are a Tier 1 partner yet they have no controls over the source code or the airframe.

Lockheed have prioritised US needs over the other Tier 1 partners.

The knock on from this is everyone is looking at Gen 6 collaborations omitting the US

Yeah… But Mig-25 is not really a WW2 vehicle.

Thanks for the tip, I’ve integrated it into the list with a few updates! I will repost the list once we get our next devblog!

Yeah no, hidding it as FOMO behind event/paywall when French navy TT is barebone and sad, and putting it’s actual best ship hidden like that is just disgusting.

which will be interesting since Gen 6s are kinda like gen 4.5s where a lot more people are working on them compared to gen 5 and gen 4

I know of the french, german project (last I heard it ran into some issue with the germans and french falling out which pretty average when they work on something)

the british one that I think now has japan and sweden? but japan is still looking at their own domestic option as well?

then of course russia, the US and china are all looking into their own
