That’s why I think France is no longer considered clown country like before (when Mirage F1 is the only top tier Aircraft the French got) the introduction of Mirage 2000. I guess with the introduction of J-10, maybe the Chinese would get an aircraft that as potent as the Mirage 2000, but I’d also think that J-10 would still suffer from bad playerbase due to how Chinese Player literally can flood an average top tier matchmaking.
This is why I don’t think the countermeasure buff would come soon enough. It is still competitive enough for current meta, I think the buff would come when all aircraft get its full FM like Su-27 supermaneuverability.
My best guess is around summer would be the best time to introduce AESA+PESA Radar-capable Aircraft.
But I don’t think that this winter there wouldn’t be an introduction for early variant of Rafale and Eurofighter, since Gaijin themselves already carried 3 iconic aircraft to be introduced last winter, and what we got is a prototype aircraft. Maybe they would consider Rafale A eventhough Mirage 2000 still meta (just like during the time of Super Mirage 4000).
Meshupar pilots had to adapt to playing the worst F-15 in the game, i know its off topic but i find it hard to believe Israel didnt give their PSP’s software updates to let the radar slave with the DASH HMD and be able to use TWS.
I know you’re stating its the best statistically, what i am saying is it is missing some features that it theoretically could’ve had, im not saying its a bad jet, im not denying that its statistically the best, im just saying its just in theory the worst F-15 due to the technology it lacks.
From what I read in the Su-27 Forum; Su-27 still perform like a boat due to instructor limitation. This also would bring a question to how the F/A-18 FM would like.
Another guess is probably Gaijin would give Su-27 its full control when the F-18 arrives. So the winter patch would be the patch for “Supermaneuverable” Aircraft.
