Yep… The standard statement has been “its too soon for Typhoon, Rafale and F-15C MSIP II with 8 AMRAAM. None of them will be coming soon”
Well… 1 of those is here… Im thinking F-2 with AESA and Typhoon/Rafale Soon™ is well and truly on the table

literally they cant, unless they rescind the “unarmed demonstrator” rule with the EAP, because I’n thinking F-16XL, VISTA, Su-47, and as far as I’m aware none of those were ever armed, and certainly neither of the F-16s were intended to be iirc.
Unless of course, stealth means you magically can’t see people more than 15 miles away.
stealth feature in ARB, the people actualy dont show up marked in the game and appear like in GRB

I would only throw myself out the window at that point lmao
Yea, at this point F-2 late would be the only upgrade to the F-15J (M) as it would have AESA and L-JDAMs. Maybe even AAM-5 if they go that far.
On the bright side, one aircraft down, one more to go (aside ASEAN sub-tree aircraft).

not every addition needs to be an upgrade, look at the f-15a addition, certainly worse then the F-16C US already had
It’s more that the F-2 early only used AIM-7Ms which in a meta of ARH missiles, just seems unlikely.
Which leaves the F-2 late, which we already have AAM-4s, but it also means Japan gets their own CAS with L-JDAMs + Sniper pod.
there is another solution for japan
Yea sub-trees, which I’m sure will happen at some point, but since we’re all expecting EFT/Rafale in December, that includes F-2 as well.
we arent, just today smin stated again we are very far away from them

If it’s the comment in the F-4F topic, he said it not close, but December is 6 months away.
In other words, when is something considered close? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?

This was from another forum post, unironically the first relevant photo when I googled F-16A MLU ROCAF
They wouldn’t dare add more than one of those. God forbid they actually progress the tech trees any.
I’d really prefer Dunkerque over any of those. Not only does France need a 7.0 a lot more, but Dunkerque could also end up being the 2nd or 3rd best ship in the game

I am morally obligated to choose Dunkerque over the others as the French need a top tier the most seeing as they don’t have a top tier.
Not sure how much Dunkerque’s angling will save her as the belt is thin regardless. Strasbourg would be the optimal choice.
Aside from her I want QE and R, is it selfish to want Britain to have 2 at a time? Yes, do we historically deserve it? Also yes.

Not to mention that last time a 7.0 ship that is on the TT for Britain was the Hood. She was introduced two years ago, in danger zone.

You choose a wrong person:
There’s nothing to be happy about. All tanks will get it. Moreover for western it’s gonna be worse than for eastern.
Right, I forget that Dunkerque doesn’t have the thicker belt of her sister.
As an aside, Richelieu will absolutely dominate if not added too late. 15-inch guns with a decent reload + 330mm inclined belt with a 50mm slope behind it. Plus we can get her 2 sisters who are slightly better? chefs kiss They’ll be magnificent.
for one patch and then rendered obsolete because Germany got H-39.

Richelieu will probably fare better against aircraft then H-39 I would think. If she has her post war anti aircraft weaponry that is. Which would be a nice thing.
I think the order is meant to be reversed - H39 comes first, then Richielieu. Two patches later, Britain finally got their battleship the Nelson.
Also max BR in naval is still 7.0.
