Major Update “Leviathans” — DEV Server Changelog (16.06.2025) - dev server is closed

Oh, thanks!

The hornet is not the best, I agree.
The F-15E is the best BVR plane in the game, and the EFT follows it. You are vastly underestimating the amount of parity that exists at top tier, and gaijin will ruin that by making yet another OP American aircraft.

If anything, the F-15C needs to go to 14.0 because I don’t think it’s equal to the Su-27SM.

look mum I’m famous.

this slight buff still doesn’t validate the BR increase to 8.0 btw.

there wasn’t enough time between the turret speed ruining and the BR change to let how mid the thing is now to truly show.

glad it will actually turn a little now. cheers to devil06 for he does the lords work

lol? The top air nation again after 10 months, that along many other nations slinging 120A/Bs, including Germany, GB, Japan, Israel, France, etc. and before the nerf on most ARHs, the buffs on MICAs, and the R-77-1. I think its a decent change of pace from where the game was.

But don’t worry, eventually the 120-C will be gimped to 20ish Gs of overload, with an awful aoa generation.
speaking of 120Cs:

Those missiles have only technological improvements which Gaijin:

  1. won’t develop as its completely worthless
  2. won’t apply as the performance boost out of the improvements is negligible if they fix the AIM-120A properly, to which the only solution to a noticeable performance boost is to jump to the C5.

I just figured, I believe! Ray Tracing was enabled here for some reason, so maybe it was destroying my poor RTX 3060 xD.

I hope the German standard Leopard 1 also gets an updated 3d model, it looks so bad compared to the Italian 1A2.

Also they copied the bug over to the new one where its way more sluggish than the other Leopards lol…

10 months? The Rafale/EFT was only added in December. F-15E was added in October/November, before that F-15C dominated ARH, before that F-15A was debatably better than the Su-27 in Air superiority.

So where does 10 months ago fit?

Not american

Opressive on day 1 without drag, significantly opressive for barely a month or a couple of weeks at best, not to mention they started the devblog season right before patch release.

Lasting only a month before Gaijin nerfed AIM-120A/Bs for everyone without a single document referring to such change, which marked the beginning of the 10 month period of time.

Deliberate lie. The F-15A was on the weaker end of the patch along the M4k, both being HMS-less when compared to the Gripen and the Su-27, and carrying a SARH nowhere near the R-27ER.

There is your explanation.

Dude are you that hard of reading? US Air dominance only got beaten after Raf/EFT was added in December

It was clearly dominant in Firebird and Seek and Destroy. Air Superiority was debatable because I know Gripen was actually the Meta then

So again I ask, where does the 10 month ago fit when December was only 6 months ago?

Well… It has also been 3 years waiting for something even half as good as the Pantsir… So…

But of course. Not the typhoon, because It is against the ToS for it to be good

Aircraft now get hover mode?

all Kh-38s have GNSS guidance capability… not really a surprise

nah, given the timeframe you’re referring to (July/December), it was contested with its anemic AIM-120A/B. The only advantage the US consistently had were the airframes, and even then, was/is a meta where dogfighting wasn’t and isn’t a godlike asset for the F-15C or even E. If you’re arguing over its thrust, god forbid the US has something to use as an advantage at top tier, as such thrust sacrificed a significant amount of manueverability the F-15A had for example.

Both laughably brief dominances that got eclipsed by balance patches.

VTOL aircraft have always had a hover mode? It was just hidden in the controls.

They have had it?

Did they? Whenever I pressed it, it always came up saying it didn’t work for aircraft

they had it since a long time but its a different keybind than helicopter hover mode

Yeah, again its for stuff like the AV-8s and YAK 141 only and you had to be below ~250 km/h

Just never worked for me on the Harrier Gr7 or Shar
