Yup. Im particularly disappointed in the lack of any rumors/leaks or really anything regarding F-2. If that F-18E comes with AESA that makes it the second AESA fighter coming with yet still no sign of the F-2.

Now the update is still upon us so well see what additional things we get but not looking good.

3rd* kfir C.10 has aesa

Oh right yes thats even worse

Me too, but because both CLOVIS variants are premium for some reason

I could understand one of them being premium and still giving people the option of getting it for free in another tree, but both trees? Really?

It feels like every tank I’ve wanted for the past couple updates is made premium. Like the BMD-4M

Su-30 might not be 14.0 depending on how hard gaijin butchers it. But for arguments sake I’ll assume it will be.

Japan could get the F-2A, but that’s a worse F-15JM that can’t carry extra ARHs. They need a subtree like Singapore or Indonesia for an advanced Eagle similar to the F-15E.

China can get the J-10B or J-11B

Sweden needs a subtree like Norway or Denmark to bring an AESA F-16 to get a 14.0. They are the worst off.

make them equal. any difference may lead to endless complain, that’s what happend before, in DF-105 and SK-105

3rd, don’t forget about the Kfir C.10

Neither have AESA, they used AM/MLU F-16As until receiving the F-35, best hope for sweden is the F/A-18C MLU or JAS-39E

F-2A has better radar than the JM. She also has CAS capabilities with ASM-2 and bombs

Worse than I thought wow

Viggen vs 4th gen moment incoming

even worse F-16C, they have same engine, but F-2 is larger, meaning lower max speed, and more energy bleeding, but better turn rate

Still no F-2… killing me smalls.

Strategic Bomber mode and Jet Strategic Bombers though- maybe we can make Air Assault good for high tiers then.

Though I would honestly recommend making some loadouts ineligible for the mode just so 12.0+ can’t insta kill the entire enemy teams.

It also has a worse FM for BVR purposes and is limited to 4 ARHs, which makes it a sidegrade at this point

Too little is know about Indonesian F-15IDN to be added, and it’s redundant when Japan can get the F-15JSI instead.

F-15SG is the best bet for Japan, JSOW, JDAM, maybe Harpoons

The Su-30SM is heavier than the Su-27SM and has more resistance. The only improvement is that the PESA has been replaced, so – yes, it may not be that good. But what can be done? Modern aviation in Russia is getting weaker and weaker. The Su-35 is even considered an obsolete product in China.

China is the way forward when it comes to Flankers, russia has proven themselves incapable of fielding a proper air force and should lift their restrictions on China selling their J-16/J-11 series since they are far more successful than the russian products and cheaper too

Also gives us fun things like Hawker Hunters.

But if we end up with 2 sub trees added before my glorious F-2 I will be annoyed.

Especially when we got that crappy F-16AJ when, if they were making a fictional plane, they could have done a fictional F-2 prototype.

a little heavier doesn’t matter so much for a huge plane. the biggest problem in SU-27SM is it’s radar, now it gets fixed in SU-30SM.
