Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Coughs in EAP

Did you build that yourself?

Yeah, to say Britain is fine with a jet they got 4 years ago kinda shows how bad the British tree is looking at the moment

They still are playable and you can still manage to get a decent K/D on them. Their performance not being the best in relation to 12.3 is a compression problem that won’t get solved by buffing them or adding a higher BR british jet

It’s all part of the boring stuff for me that drive em crazy.

For years I’ve been reading jokes about France being the USA bis, and only playable with American vehicles. That “if you want more vehicle, you should have build more!”

Now that in modern times, France can rise to the meta on its own, with its own technology, and surpass many others, all of a sudden the copy-paste goes all over the place, and countries that haven’t achieved as much technologically find themselves at the same level (if not better) thanks to the same copy-paste.

I just hope that those who laughed back then are laughing now that they’re only meta thanks to US (F-16s) or Russian (Mig-29G) tech.

Bruh I’ve seen it with my own goddamn eyes.



When was the tornado 12 in ARB

Gonna be honest the F.3 is not playable.

Compared to everything else id rather fly a stock MiG-23M

I asked you if you built it. Youre british. Put your back intobit.

So, if it was 12.0 with the same performance it would be fine?

It’s in the god damn name

" British Aerospace EAP"

But why? US mains complained so hard when R73s were added to the Mig29SMT they had to add Aim9M. But Britain isn’t allowed even a 12.0 A2A jet of any description

" The origins of the EAP can be found within the Agile Combat Aircraft (ACA) programme performed by British Aerospace (BAe) during the late 1970s and early 1980s"

No the point is we don’t have a 12.0 at all when others have 12.3

I understand the points being made here (and largely agree), but we are making the same mistake as last time and going off-topic, i’d encourage us to stay on topic before we end up with the threat of bans… again.

We wouldn’t even have a 11.7 if Aim9M weren’t added to the Gr7

EAP was just a demonstrator
I won’t make any judgements because I don’t know that much about it, whether it was supposed to be armed or not in the final case.

One could make the point that it is case similar to Yak-141, then again, Yak-141 got stuck in prototype stage but was to be fully fledged combat aircraft, not just demonstrator like EAP

Well tbh it doesn’t help that people can’t even do their own research

The EAP won’t happen, we can’t convince Gaijin to add it

Reason is you are not part of the big3, and the massive playerbase and money coming from the big 3 always gonna put them in the meta and get the best playable things possible.
