Well, for starters, they changed the 3D model

Which is fine for say F-18 vs F-15 or Typhoon with AIm-120B.
But F-18 vs J-11? Gripen C? Etc etc does change the equation a bit. Because AIm-120C5s on the F-18 fired at the same alt as say a Gripen with Aim-120B? Is probably not far off in terms of energy, but the the C5s pull more Gs and the Gripen might find itself defending against 10. Especially the F-18 might be able to do an Su-30 and just shoot down incoming AMRAAMs in a pinch

I would buy it if they would fix this hole thing,
Stealth is not working like with the F-117, and I know that the RAH-66 is not completly invisible but it doesn’t even work on range like it should, Every SAM with a Radar ingame can see that Thing even at 20km though trees.
It also misses weapons, like the AGM-114K, since the 114B wasn’t even in prodction anymore at the time the Progamm was at its peak, from the article Stingers and Hydras are confirmed as well as the better T800 engines, but also where is the RWR and Flares/Chaff, which it also had. Of couse now after the new SAMs they could give give the RAH-66 as well as the other 3 Top Tier Helis the AGM-114L, since it won’t be that OP, from what they say the Kh-38MT is also not OP so why not.

True but that is also why those planes are 13.7 instead of 14.0. As it currently is the Hornet falls in between 2 BRs. It’s too bad to really be 14.0 but it’s also too good to be 13.7.
Gaijin’s options were either to move the Su-30SM, F-15E/I, EFT and Rafale to 14.3 and leave the F/A-18C at 14.0, or give the F/A-18C better capabilities and keep it at the same BR as the others. It’s clear now which option they have in mind.
Because it will change nothing overall, it’s not like it will help doing much kill, it’s a waste of energy for the mica in most situation.
Cant give it Hellfire Longbows as a pack premium as it would then be a top tier premium instead of a high tier one, thus by Gaijins own rules cant be a pack vehicle
This problem could’ve been avoided altogether if Gaijin added J-10B and Gripen NG this update, but Gaijin says no I guess.
Hornet can get its 120C-5s, and all nations can be competitive at top tier.
But Gaijin decides to give F-15E 120C-5 for some reason as well.

new weapon suggestion up. about the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen armaments. if you got any more sources to add please do.
hmmm I wonder if we will see the JAS39C in the UK tree go down in BR as its only got the R-Darters that were already a lot worse then AIM-120As never mind C-5s
Not really an impactful buff tbh
Like, sure, you can lauch the missile on a target that is 90° off of you, but you’ll have 0 range and the missile will be incredibly easy to chaff
ye. R-darters arent very good. either that or give it Aim-120’s cause as one mod said:

Can kh38mt situation be finally answered?

Ppl are focusing on the funny youtube videos of over the shoulder shot and forgetting this means the Rafale will be able to more reliably move in and out of the notch while still firing MICA’s HOBS. This is a bit more of a significant buff than ppl are giving it credit for, particularly in the hands of a good pilot.
They did answer it, they locked the thread and buffed the missile

how are you smin is there any update about why the Baz Meshupar radar got changed making it heavily worse and if its planned to introduce the Python-4 to it as a form of compensation?
Oh so its back
Good that i spaded it
yes they changed the radar reverting it to the state it was when it got introduced to the game in my opinion really criminal specially if there is no compesation after this.
AGM-142/spice justification for the BazM?
Track range got reduced to 10K against tank sized targets, Id hardly call that a buff.
