Wasn’t it just a tech demonstrator or prototype?
It’s not suprising that it ended up as a rank VIII premium. And since it’s 12.7 like the MiG-29B in the Hungarian line I doubt there will be a TT version.
Gaijin needs to add a chinese top tier the j11b will not preform at all against the 120c5 and all the brand new things every other nation is getting they should think about adding the j16 j15 or j10b/c and pl15s or pl12cs
yeah, but in case of Sniper it’s a significant upgrade of a TT version at the same br and only available for real money. By all means this comes under a pay to win definition.
They could juts copy and paste the su30 pretty much and give it different missiles
Well, I’m afraid it’s a F20A situation again. I didn’t found any close variants of this.

The BR might end up being higher on the live server, but this wouldn’t be the first time a premium ends up being better than the TT variant at the same BR (F-4S, NF-5A (unless the BR gets changed), Netz (Mod), Sea Hawk Mk.100, G.91 R/4, Su-39, MiG-15bis ISh, just to name a few)
Wait so for now you will make the c5 just a but better than A and B only？Not even like an upgrade from r77 to r771？what a waste of player expectations
God they should’ve just stuck to special livery copies of tech tree stuff as premiums and not c*ck players out of unique stuff.
But here we are and Wargaming are at it again.

Yup, it’s a real shame to see how many unique vehicles end up being premiums (or event vehicles) and how often premiums are straight upgrades compared to TT equivalents at the same BR

A big part of the improvements introduced to the AMRAAMs over time were software and countermeasure resistance stuff that isn’t modelled in-game.
The R-77-1 isn’t that much of an upgrade over the base R-77 either and I would argue that the difference between the AIM-120A/B and C-5 is bigger than that between the R-77 and the -1.

In the following missions for Air Realistic Battles, aircraft carriers have been added for both teams: [Operation] Golan Heights, [Operation] Golan Heights (air spawns), [Operation] Southeastern City, [Operation] Central Tunisia, [Operation] Denmark.
- Each team now has two aircraft carriers and two ships escorting each of them. In the missions where it is impossible to place two carriers, each team has only one.
-
European Province (all missions) — a few buildings that were previously missing from the minimap have been added.
-
The number of purchased ships required to unlock Rank VI and VII in Bluewater fleet trees has been decreased. Players now need 5 purchased ships instead of 6 in the current rank to unlock the next rank. Currently, this change only affects the USA and Great Britain trees.
-
All Tiger II series tanks have received their own engine sounds that differ from the Tiger series tanks.

The initial carrier take-off is still being removed?
Come on, why can’t Gaijin let us keep the carrier spawns?

@Stona_WT the Devs should maybe consider that for the new Anti Air menu it would be an idea that the mouse cursor is allways on (or atleast add an option) since its kinda pain that you have to press ALT all the time you want the mouse cursor to click on the diffrent screens

Yeah, i know, but i will always be against this type of implementation. You can somewhat make a point that F-4S upgrade over F-4J only marginal (slats don’t change the fact that it’s still a fat Phantom and 9H is almost identical to 9G apart from a single stat that barely matters), but still it shouldn’t be the case, P2W is a bad way to introduce paid content.

not in WT undofrunately, with very oversimplified drag characteristics of grid fins R-77-1 is quite a significant upgrade just because of the engine. But we also haven’t seen C-5 in actual games in full lobbies, they could change the experience quite a bit.
still no Bismarck added to the list on the Germany naval fleet

Gaijin shafting potential trees at full throttle. Now shafting twice per update.
Meanwhile the 4 Block 10 F-16s Italy got screaming to be premiums

5 ships is still a lot, especially considering how little research you earn in naval battles and how expensive it is to research each ship. Even with this change, progressing through the ranks remains very slow and demanding.
Ah, so the C-5 still only is an upgrade in terms of range on the devserver?
Well, in that case the increase in performance from the AIM-120A/B to the C-5 and from the R-77 to the R-77-1 is basically the same.
Hard to say, i didn’t tested them myself, don’t have a single C-5 carrier researched, only reliable thing that i can say from statcard is that it has more guidance time and 0.4 Mach top speed more than 120A/B. How it will work in combat scenario i honestly have zero clue.
