Already have by FAR the best top tier jets in-game next patch, with both the best overall jet next patch (M2K5F), and the best F-16 (F-16AM).
Maybe chill a little.

The sooner the M2K-5F gets buffed more, the sooner you can have your Eurofighter.

Theres such thing as “too much, too fast” the fact some nations are getting MAWS while many others arent in an update that was “supposed” to be balanced at top tier air is already a major issue, particularly in sim, were planes with MAWS could realistically be pushed a whole 1.0 BR above every other plane imo, as it makes it borderline impossible to surprise them anymore. The M2K5F with the MICA, FM buff, and MAWS is already arguably too strong for 13.0 and should be pushed up, like the MLD was back when it was added. Itll arguably be less of an issue in RB though, as you already have missile diamonds, and too many players anyways, but in every other mode except ARB, the MAWS jets are at such a massive advantage its not even funny.

too much to fast i dont think will be a problem we go up in power so much every update in air regardless.

Cant wait for next major for there to be 120-C5 and R-77-1 on F-15E and SU-30 (or whatever SU-27 we can have next im unsure) but still no Eurofighter or Rafale (the game is still not ready for them guys)
I don’t see why not if the Gripen is to have 2-3x the specific excess power of anything else… why not have a few European delta canards with worse performance?
and what do you think he controls. canards are designed to control, they replace the stabilizer
F-16C Block 50 & F-15C MSIP II (USAF), F-16A Block 20 MLU (ROCAF) and JAS 39C EBS HU (HuAF) capability with AIM-120C-5
In the future F-15E, F/A-18C/D, F-15I Ra’am and F/A-18E Blk 1 & Blk 2 armed AIM-120C-5 AMRAAM
I guess MiG-29K (9-41R), MiG-29M2, Su-30M2, Su-27SM3, Su-30M2, Su-30SM, Su-30SM2, Su-35S, Su-30MKK & Su-30MK2 (PLAAAF & PLANAF) and Su-30MKI available with R-77-1/RVV-SD. but now MiG-29SMT (9-19) only armed R-77-1

IMHO, I’d think from f2p marketing prespective, this buff is part of Gaijin attempt to make France as popular as other nation. As we know, France currently still being one of not popular country in War Thunder, only getting popular when Mirage F1C-200 pack and Mirage 2000C-S4 came out. So, I don’t think it’s absolutely game changing for M2K5F Player since M2K never flooded the entire match (of course when this happen, only when the event M2K came out, and then it’s not flooded again somehow).
This aircraft serves as the counterbalance to Soviet/American Spam, so that French Player would survive the meta, or better, can changes the meta.

i (think) the later tornado f.3’s also used C5’s but i might be wrong, it could’ve been some other C variant
Correct, Tornado F3 “Late”, Which IRL wouldve been the AOP and later FSP used the 120B and then later on the C-5 i believe alongside ASRAAM.
Meh.
At low speeds perhaps with the additional advantage at lower altitudes F-16 is also benefitting from but first you need to get that low and slow.
That’s not how that works
I assume Tornado F3 Late would be Tornado F3 AOP because refer to camouflage ZG757 / Demonstration camouflage with insignia of 43 Sqn. RAF 52 from gszabi99 post in part 4
Tornado F3 late or Tornado F3 AOP from dev server enabled AIM-120B but before integration AIM-120C-5 AMRAAM
Yeah, i imagine they named the F3 late the arbitrary “Late” title so that when they introduce 120-C5 they can just not have to bother changing its name from AOP to FSP.
You sure?^^

This weird report had been made without me noticing it. But, it has been updated with sources to show that MICA EM should have reduced beamwidth from 15 degrees currently in-game to 7.0 degrees beamwidth. This is less than half.
I suspect however that they will apply this beamwidth change to all ARH missiles, making them more likely to discriminate against chaff and other targets. Would be a nice buff.
