The Gripen just won’t stay dead no matter what planes Gaijin introduces lol.
Also, the Rafale kind of folds the 18C Late now from my experience.
Hey @Smin1080p_WT, I apologize for bothering you, but would you perhaps be willing to give my two F-20 cockpit display bug reports a bump? While they had already been passed for consideration, a few Gen 4s this patch have received updated MFD pages (along with entirely new 4th Gens, such as the Hornet in particular, getting theirs), and the F-20’s cockpit is almost the same as it was on release.
A big reason I’m asking for the bump is that both the F-20’s radar display and SMS display are actually supposed to look very similar to the F/A-18A’s.

The Eurocanards are the most dominant dogfighters on earth, they are rolling everything that comes to the game until a jet like the J-10B TVC or EFT with AMK kit comes (both still canards lol)

Harrier T.10 receives the most POINTLESS addition to any aircraft
britian added BOL to the harriers to stop this exact issue. gaijin devs “but muhhh balance, cant have a harrier ii at the same BR as another harrier ii with less thrust, heavier having its BOL. so we just give the option to REMOVE a missile in order to STILL HAVE LESS IR COUNTERMEASURES”
Truly the most balance game of all time gaijin. whats even going on over there??? This takes the cake for favoriting a nation over another.
Ill add to this, WHY?
why do WE, as the players, have to argue that the Harrier T.10 has a WORSE airframe then the AV8B. You guys made the game? surely you KNOW its a better airframe. WITH MORE COUNTERMESURES. and the exuse for not giving the T.10 its BOL is… what exactly? we cant take 2 BOL pods on the dedicated missile pylons to be ONPAR with other strike aircraft?

Yeah I doubt I will be pre-ordering that, if buying it at all, if 2x BOL is too much to ask for then i will simply grind the tt one
Things like the F22 would still be superior to the Rafale and Euro fighter in raw dogfighting performance tho I’d say

Depends entirely on pilot, an average F-22 (most of the playerbase dogfighting wise) will lose to a Eurofighter, a skilled raptor pilot against an equally skilled EFT pilot will result in a relatively equal fight, and TVC in that situation is practically useless, meaning the raptor pilot would require more tactical knowledge on how to manage his energy, while the EFT can just sit on his elevators and outrate the raptor
On equal skill levels the Raptor will always come out on top, it’s way more forgiving than the EFT or Rafale and TVC really helps it. Exercise tend to show that, while like any plane, the F-22 isn’t invincible, it’s much stronger than any other aircraft it dogfighted agaisnt.
Excerises ≠ War thunder performance, you have to remember that size wise the EFT vs Raptor is like Gripen vs F-15, the EFT is far lighter and as a result has a more useful TWR at dogfighting speeds, war thunder tends to prefer lighter and smaller aircraft in a pure dogfight to heavier ones, and I doubt that will change, even with the new cobra button.
So no, the Raptor will not ‘always’ come out on top, it is entirely reliant on the pilots in a symentrial merge

Yeah this is beyond a joke now. No matter how you spin it the T.10 is much worse than the AV-8B(NA). No reason for it to be 11.3 at all. If it continues with only Phimat then it needs to go down in BR. Either that or copy and paste BOL from the GR.7.
I’m surprised actually that they’ve taken the time to model Phimat instead of their usual C&P which in this case is what is actually needed.
The biggest joke of all though is calling this “balance”.

Not really true here. The F-22 has got the most powerful engines put on a fighter, they’re able to push the Raptor up to any speed it wants in mere seconds. Altough it is an F-15 sized jet, a lot of advancements were made and the Airframe of the F-22 clearly hints at the fact it was made for dogfighting.
Now since you mention weight you should also know that the F-22 has got a really good TWR, and TVC will allow for more Nose authority at lower speeds, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen those “backflip” maneuvers it does at airshows but it’s pretty impressive. Now add on top of that War Thunder’s cobra button and all hell breaks loose.
In the end, while the EFT is a very capable 4.5 Generation fighter jets, imo the strongest one out there, It will still struggle agaisnt the Raptor even with a fairly bad pilot. You have to remember this plane basially created the need for a 5th Generation to be “invented”.
So yes, the EFT is incredibly strong both in BFM and BVR, but the Raptor will always have it easier.
I’m guessing you were talking about the skills of an average US main which isn’t very high, and I guess you’re right on that, but the learning curve to fight agaisnt the EFT will be easier for a Raptor pilot, even a bad one.

have you seen the crazy gun kills people are getting with the Su30 because of its Vectoring??? The F22 will be even better! So many just seems to think thrust vectoring is a joke and has no use…in a dog fight in close it absolutely will give you an edge when used the way it is meant to be!

For J-10A, JF-17 and JH-7A. Looking great.
Much, much better than fictional J-11B CAS.

It doesn’t get a centerline pod?
WTF is this, how can they justify 11.3 for this, just put it at 11.0 as a more ground oriented counterpart to the SHar.
But for ARB 11.3 is just unacceptable, what the hell are Gaijin balancing this against? What reference point are they using to say that this is equivalent to other 11.3 aircraft?
C-704 are great, though im not sure what are the KH59s for. They are only available on Su-30MKI.
