Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 5)

All of this use of the word “crying” will just make me ignore your comments going forward, goes for everybody here currently. Trying to pretend like valid complaints about the game are simple “crying” is diminishing and not fit for civil discussion.

the 15E seems to do better in ARB than the 15I for some odd reason.

so of all this why not add the a comparable F/A18C to sweden too? why wait to add another one if its functionally the same.

You should probably learn it then.

I agree, it wasn’t. Now could Sweden have gotten a Gripen C at the same time? Yes. We got the F/A-18A and the F/A-18C this update so Gaijin definitely could have done that.

America was always going to be the strongest nation for air. But that doesn’t stop the other nations from getting their good stuff too.

Yeah we got the F-15E, then you got your EF-2000 and we didn’t get anything. I don’t really see what’s the point here? We still didn’t get anything last update. At worst, it seems like things are balanced. We got the F-15E and British mains got nothing, then they got the EF-2000 and we got nothing, and this update we’re the ones getting something again.

And yes the US has dominated, but literally nothing could be added to Britain without being extremely OP in those years. Would you have want the EF-2000 to drop in Air Superiority?

I wasn’t refering to that. I’m saying that in War Thunder we usually get the first variant of a new aircraft, then a better one is added.

I wasn’t talking to you there, my bad if it was confusing. But yes, Gaijin most probably gave Britain the better version of a SWEDISH jet because british mains cried a lot, and they still do today. No offense to you btw.

I never said the complaining wasnt justified. just that they complained a lot.

Exactly, but then they blame us for complaining for a better radar on the F-15A during the Air Superiority update, or for wanting the Aim-9M to counter the R-73, it’s nuts.

Oh no the quips! What I told you specifically is that it messes with your image by saying what you did. Not that you ARE a clown.

Okay buddy, you got your time in the spotlight now! can you stop and let the big people discuss calmly now? Thanks.
Also I don’t see how saying british mains complain all the time “messes with my image”. It’s a hard truth for you sure, but still.

The f15a was insanely good, it still actually is insanely good mate.
The aim9m released as the best IR missile in the game, sure r73 could thrust vector but it was far more situational.

The f15A also subsequently sat at 12.3 while its entire competition sat at 12.7, dont act like the 15A was suffering
You had F16s and mig29s smacking down phantoms and tornados for a giggle
Its massively different

Its how you word it mate, you are coming across as a bit of a melon.

Anyone else having problems with the Radar of the F-15E producing a horrendous amount of ghost targets while having extreme difficulty to follow valid TWS contacts? It’s atrocious currently after the patch…

South Africa doesn’t use the A variant so why is it a surprise they got the variant they used???

welcome to the eurofighter life. gripens radar seems screwy too.

I’m sorry what? Don’t you remember it had to fight an Su-27 with the best Fox 1s in game (still are) and it had the better FM before we started complaining. All that while we had the TWS-less AN/APG-63 radar on an F-15 with flares. It was a Franken plane at first. It was inferior to the Su-27 in every way but radar range.

I know, that’s why they got the C right? But then why not add the C to sweden too?? It’s their plane after all.

I have both (didn’t test the EF yet with the new patch) but even before the patch it wasn’t that bad with the EF as it’s now with the F-15E which should say something about this.

That’s not because of “UK mains” but rather idk the developer of the game maybe. And guess what it was resolved…

The su27 fm got nerfed into the ground before the patch released.

We also had the benefit of a far easier multipath.

As well su27 br moved UP while F15a did.not.

Sure man, the only thing people like to do nowadays is sh*t on the US in this game anyway, how dare I say that it wasn’t fair huh?

Well looks like the complaining worked huh?

You are aware british mains agreed with Sweden that the 39c shoukd also have went to sweden?

I know, I never said they didn’t. The only thing I said was that British mains complain a lot, and they surely do.
