Me over here (still) coping for A-4M Super Mike and AV-8B DA for the US, and the Mirage IIING for France
(Please Gaijin, they’re all I have left)
Funny enough, the AMV is dirtier than the regular C1 ingame

The thing is, that would be pretty hard to implement technically.
Because the normal map is always going to remain the same and thus the scars will always be there. They would probably have to have completely different textures for each few stages of condition.
Or they just just like brighten the texture a lot, but then it would look even more unrealistic than now and just like clay
I think the real solution here is just retexturing and remodeling a lot of tank which just have horrible models in the first place. They have done this a little but, but it is clearly not enough
Watched a clip of someone doing cannon CAS with F-86F-2.
It is interesting that we skipped from 9.3 to 10.0 in 9 months (Dec 18 to Sep 19) and to 11.3 in 15 months (Dec 18 to Mar 20)
But we are filled Rank VIII in a range 12.3 to 14.3 for just over 3 years (Dec 22 to Mar 26)
Turning back into my point, I guess they should have started with J-5, MiG-17AS, F-86H-10. Then we would have filled Rank VIs all over the trees
Honestly, leapfrogging off of your idea: US TT (I’m only doing the US TT since that’s about all I’m knowledgeable on lol) should’ve gone F-86F-2 → F-86H-10 → F-100C → F-100D → F-4C (and from there with split F-4Es, and the current F-15s, and so forth).
Then in-between F-100s and F-4s, that’s where the Crusaders, Voodoo, Delta Dagger, etc could’ve been implemented here and there. Add on top of that more Navy Phantoms than just the F-4J and F-4S, and things would actually be better off lol

I would probably group F-86 lates and move to rank V, move F-4C to rank VI, add F-4D in place of F-4C at rank VII and finally add a F-4E Late at Rank VIII, 12.3
Other aircraft can be scattered on other lines. There are a lot of missing aircraft with event vehicles place being full times full

The USA aviation tech tree missing USN fighter aircraft 8.7 ~ 9.0 before F3H-2
-
Domestic USAF F-100A (early & late production equipment)
-
F-8 Crusader early variant before F8U-2

Shenyang J-6 with 2nd gen IR Air-to-Air Missile for researchable vehicles
In my opinion, 3 nations (USA, USSR & UK) lack 1st gen fighter aircraft with Air-to-Air Missile

is the mirage f1c-200 still a good purchase?
No cuz the tech tree ones are prettier

I’d say talismaned Mirage F1CT is better choice due to having much better RWR.
I would gladly sacrifice one cannon for better awareness/survivability.

you also sacrifice the centerline missile and all their greatness
Probably gonna happen lol
They def should add Tu22 Hypersonic bomber, it would be nice, 9Ton bombs (at least in papper that plane carries bombs of 9000kg) super sonic speed and more balanced vs the planes that America has for bombing, ussr / russia has less equipment in their bombers

The only bias I need is this vehicle, idk maybe 14.0 for ground RB given it might be too strong

I don’t know F-4C from USA tech tree might be early service (1963 ~ 1964) or mid production (1966 ~ 1967) equipment
But stay to early rank VII
The USA aviation tech tree missing other USAF F-4 around 10.3-11.0
Add both early (1968-1969) and late (mid 1970’s & Air National Guard config) production
Allow me to question the usefulness of an R530E at 12.0
Like, it’s great at 10.0, but if it still is at 12.0 the average player’s skill at that br is much worse than I thought
well going off of (its a quick google search it may or may not be wrong) the AIM-9E, the better of the 2 IR missiles the F-4C gets in game, entered US service in roughly late 1968 early 1969, so definitely a mid production, late would end up giving it AIM-9Ls and stuff like that
I don’t think anybody gave enough F on F-4C to discuss its configuration till this day. It is a F-104C with better missiles at a higher BR. That can do CAS.
Dead weight RF missiles, no CMs, it is easily a Rank VI material.
Anything that might make F-4C cool should be implemented in F-4D. AIM-7Es, CMs etc.
And just like any other US complex jet (3rd gen and above), F-4E is a mixed frankestein with a mid production block upgraded with some of the modifications but cannot use targeting pods or AIM-7Fs
Weapon systems are matter of balance, hence why F4E sits lower than its counterparts.
Gaijin could add late version of F4E that has access to AGM65-D,Paveway Targeting pod and Aim-9L+Aim-7F combo but they are too lazy to model it.
