I haven’t heard anything about that, but I don’t think Gaijin is gonna upgrade the airfield AA anytime soon lol
They have nerfed the airfield AA so often that it ends up doing absolutely nothing a lot of the time
The US, Germany and Britain all have two squadron planes, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sweden getting a second one as well. Though I could totally see the Saab 35Ö turning into a premium lol
I really hope gaijin could reconsider making the F-35 a squadron plane.
Sweden need more TT Drakens and it would be perfect to place after the 105G since that line just ends at rank 5 atm.
Add the 35Ö as a squadron plane instead next update or something, it’s too foreign to be TT but would be absolutely perfect as a squadron plane. It’s unique, has RWR, CMs and all aspect missiles with IRCCM.

knowing the snail, they won’t change their mind
you can however try to make a seperate discussion about it, perhaps they’ll listen

Haven’t seen any fixes, well actually they broke something on the Shar I wonder if that counts?
It is extremely unlikely that they would change their mind.
The removal of the ability to spawn on carriers seems to be final, they didn’t change their mind on the specific variant of Rapier they would add (still salty about the lack of an early Rapier, as that would most likely have been better than the current one with the proxy fuze), they didn’t change their mind about the Bhishma and the Indian subtree for Britain, they didn’t change their mind about the turret baskets for the Leos and Abrams’, etc
99.9% chance that the devs won’t even hear about those concerns, sadly

Thinking about it, it’s very likely that the J 35Ö could end up being an event plane
It would certainly suck, but that’s the exact kind of thing Gaijin would do
There is also the recon and trainer variants of the Saab 35XD, which both had a WDNS and pre-WDNS variant, they would be more or less nearly the same as the figher variant we are getting.
It is sad with the carrierspawns. However, with the current positioning of the carriers it is understandable. Perhaps they could add a third carrier behind the airfield, and lock the first spawn to that?

Or get only carrier jets on there, where they can do a bit of calculation for how far behind they should be to compensate for the catapult.

and like i said, i clearly mentioned the missile being immune to it. as compared to SARH. everyone knows that as well
iirc IRST is not very prone to being decoyed by flares unless theyre spammed a whole lot
uhh yeah… thats cuz it isnt
ACLOS radar guidance, SACLOS/ACLOS IR track with the internal IRST
its the system the french roland 1 has since it doesnt have a track radar it only has an IRST
hey uhm is it just me or is Dev broken rn?
Fine for me
There definitely are options to have the carrier spawns be balanced, but they would rather just get rid of the ability to spawn on carriers, turning carriers into glorified bombing targets.
Like 99% of the playerbase is never going to land on these new carriers to repair/re-arm. People can’t be bothered to land properly on the regular airfields (if they even RTB at all), they won’t be willing to take their time to try and land on a carrier.

I will definitely crash on a daily basis trying to land on these carriers.

Ok yeah the recon variant apparently has the same ordnance options and weapons as the standard one, which is a bit unusual.
At least according to a danish old magazine (FORSVARETS FLY EFTER 1945) I can kinda comprehend as a swede.
But honestly I’m not upset about it being a squadron plane because I dislike squadron planes but simply because I want the Austrian Draken as a squadron plane. Otherwise they might make it an event reward or premium.
that makes it more interesting
Also, people can barely land on an AF without crashing. Going to be funny to watch them try to land on a carrier, especially in aircraft without a tail hook
