The blocks of typhoon and Rafale we have in game share the same problem, again the Gripen E is compatible with AMRAAM and can come with them if so desired
The Rafale and Eurofighters primary BVRAAM nowadays is also the Meteor, and they were added without it as well. I don’t see the issue here

not the current variants of the typhoon , only tranche 2 and above
We have Tranche 2 Block 10 in game with the P3E pack. Meteor is part of P2E iirc

Anyways the improvements a JAS-39E provide are much needed for the swedish tree, and will be welcome upon addition, however it is comparable to the Rafale and EFT if added right now with 9Ms and Amraams, so I would be fine with that
👍 ok
We have a Rafale from 2019, I’m sure that one should also have meteors already and thus not be in game by your logic.

I would say it massively depends on you as a player in terms of personal skill in leading missiles along with your ping. The very small blast from the missile can require 2 or 3 hits to really knock out an enemy plane in tests, however the missiles extremely good at following targets.
I would put it below the OSA in terms of ease of use and efficiency but thats simply because the OSA is a really good system for general use anyway in my view.
For UK only systems, I would argue its superior to the starstreak on the average level, but if you have exceptional PC/no latency stormer can come out on top.
Strela is strela, cant really compare imo.
If the Rapier had its dual purpose missiles it might be a difference case, but I have never seen any useable documents to judge if it would be a good system with a light anti tank capacity.
But yeah, this is why I pushed/hoped for an early version to be added too in the dev server forum area, as it would mean we can get use out of a lower BR version with impact only (which tbh, I find you are pretty much trying to do anyway lol)

There have been lots of instances throughout the history of WT where an aircraft has been added without a missile it was most often intended to use, or a tank added without a round it mostly intended to use.
Prime example - Apache Longbows have been in the game for years now without Longbow Hellfires.

gaijin should add veichles with their respective armmamnets of what they carry irl.
actually, the in game rafale is closer to the f4.1 standard then f3r (stated by the game), and thats because it has access to the scorpion HMCS, which makes it 2023 machine
EDIT:
It was added as a technical possibility as it was tested on f3r, so yeah the rafale we have in game is f3r

since long time ago, gaijin has stated that armaments are subject of balancing the vehicle, and not a historical innacuracy, thats why f4e doesnt have aim9L’s for example.

I suppose Legacy hornet for british tech tree, the early aircraft pre-order premium rank 8 for china or russia
New APFSDS ammunition for NATO MBT after decompression BR 12.0 → 12.3 and another active radar homing medium-range Air-to-Air Missile for USA & USA allies fighter aircraft top tier better Derby, AIM-120A & AIM-120B
I wait Sniper XR, Thales TALIOS and Litening AT pod for next quarter or third quarter
Sure, when it’s balanced to do so. But there’s nothing stopping them from adding their best armament later down the line when the game is ready for it.
It would be better for Swedish players to get Gripen E with AMRAAMs once Gripen C as an airframe becomes obsolete, rather than waiting years stuck with Gripen C until Gripen E is able to come with Meteors.
Same logic applies to Israeli jets and Python 5’s. US jets with Aim-9X, British Jets with ASRAAM, German jets with IRIS-T etc etc. Plenty of things ingame could use these missiles, but these countries did not need those missiles right now, they simply needed the better airframe to more competitively employ current meta missiles.

Should be
Any news (or leaks) on the supposed Thai tank they mentioned during the dev stream?
There’s no need to advertise (randomly too) bug reports. Technical moderators will handle them, please be patient.
That’s my bad. i have 2 tabs open. I thought this was the Aim-54 topic.
