Just be wary the last one was dead accurate of course I dont fully believe it im not that gullible but still

Your so in denial lmao

That’s only half of what he said, mate.

Yeah, but that would either mean the current 5F is gonna go up by at least 0.7 BR or they would go for AMRAAMs at 12.0, which is not gonna fly

not even half

Put it by .7, then.

Half of what is relevant to what he was talking about, I meant.

Why would they not release a 5F late in that case? Or heck, a 5F MkII

(Smirks)

I can see the 5F Mk.1 getting MICA EM

Because aircraft should not be split into early and late where there wasn’t an early and late in real life, and as I said, the entire point of the -5F was MICAs.

I mean, if we’re looking at domestic planes, it’s either the J-10 or just a bunch of Chinese flankers. Some cool Taiwanese jets have been passed too developers, but these arnt too insane either. Meanwhile the US and USSR still have quiet a few fighter jets too look forward too, with a lot of variants. Obviously when you look at variants china still is looking better than other nations, but the only jet china can look forward too getting any time in the future is either going too be a J-10 or J-11

That’s a full BR gap between the C-S5 and 5F tho

Mirage III and Mirage F1C.

Dunno man, to me it sounds more logical to keep the current 5F and add a 2000-5 Mk 2 with MICAs

It doesn’t help the situation that the -5F in game is actually a -9 (export -5F Mk 2 that was sold to the UAE) with incorrect A2A loadouts (the radar can’t guide R.530s of any kind).

Ah, alright, didn’t realise it’s a in a fictional state currently, I suppose the 5 Mk 2 would be a BR step above the 5F. That full BR gap is gonna be a necessary evil then, as the 5D RMV wouldn’t be able to carry magics either

Edit: never mind, just realised the -9 is already a 5 Mk 2

As the end of the day, we are not Gaijin and do not speak for it, so we can’t know what will happen. I’ve made by preference known, you’ve made yours known, and we’ll just have to wait and see what Gaijin decides to do.

Crazy to me how inconsistent gaijin can be when it comes to these ahistorical configurations

Bet the china players would have been over the moon if their J-8F had gotten a similar treatment
