I have a hunch that the F-35 will be like what the AV-8B is in-game, morbidly obese and not the greatest when compared to something like the F-22. I do have hope for the J-35 however and do believe it will be a nice, small and nimble stealth aircraft reinforcing Chinese top tier.
Like the difference between first and second generation Harriers
God bug reporting these is going to be hell. It’s bad enough trying to find sources for current top-tier vehicles for certain things. Bug reporting for this update was bad enough I suspect the site will just be shut down or have filters to instantly close any reports for these.
F-35B maybe. But the A is said to actually have pretty good flight performance (idk C but I’ve heard it can match a slick super hornet in its typical combat load)
It has LDIRCM, basically untouchable by IR missiles, not to mention the 360° radar coverage
Which shouldn’t impact missiles like the AIM-9X and PL-10 iirc as both have a IIR seeker, meaning they can also physically see the aircraft and not just the heat signature, this would be more impactful in game modes like Ground RB.
Also I guess if this leak does come true then air launched next gen IR missiles will be coming with them and Rank 9.
But hopefully not just these aircraft get them, plenty of aircraft in-game can also carry these weapons. But I can see gaijin adding the exact same aircraft but just with the new missile making it effectively 400k+ for the AIM-9X.
I think you guys just overestimating capabilities of F35. Its not magically flying carpet or some stuff like that you’re typing here. Its just aircraft that is slightly better in every aspect of current Rafale in-game, and it still uses same aim120. Easy to balance aircraft IMO, but it will be 15.0br for sure.
And I think this is the moment where devs should step down in their logic that “every specs should be documented”, since there will be no leaks of this type of aircraft for 10 years minimum. All they have to do is just balance, its a game after all, just be playable and thats it
