for india i am really excited to see the mig29k and su30mki.

but tbh i am not quite happy with gaijin lately. it feel like top tier is either rafale or su30.
i mean if we look at it in the aspect of the end of 2026:

  • us is f15ex ( barely upgrade from the f15c ge )
  • ger is eft
  • russia is su35 ( barely any difference from Su30sm2
  • uk is either EFT or rafale ( if india is added )
  • japan is su30mkm ( prob rafal indo again… )
  • china is… well bad but got good future choices
  • italy is again… EFT
  • france is… again rafale
  • sweden is unique with jas39E
  • israel is f15 ( not even build )

basicly next gen top tier is just rafale vs EFT vs flanker.

and i would not play a single one of those vehicles on principle.

Gimme the Gnat, Jaguar GR3A, Harrier GR9A, Vulcan, TSR2, etc etc any day of the week

All those vehicles belong in their home trees, not slapped into the British TT because they cant be bothered to model British stuff and jsut want more easy US/soviet C&P

8361

You say that but Japan and Italy will probably get the Gripen E so what’s unique then?

8362

Only jets that’s really a copy there is the MiG-29K and Rafale… everything else is pretty much different from the original?

8363

you forgot the M2K

Not really a copy either.

8366

so what makes it different from the french ones

8367

I hope FLIR pods will finally be getting their IRST functionality, poor F-15C GE has been waiting forever.

Su-30 is an Su-30.

Mig-29 is a Mig-29

Rafale is a rafale.

Mirage is a Mirage

Only thing I could maybe tolerate is the Tejas, because they actually are unique, but still wouldnt play them

You’ll never get the Gnat as long as Finland exists. Gotta hope there’s a model they didn’t operate lol

Hu?

The RAF had them

8372

Did Britain not have any Gnats?

8373

Well i mean what else would there be?..

8374

Radar, access to R-73, different cockpit

Uhhhhh ok? Doesn’t change the fact that they’re what could come to the tree

8375

Mostly used as Trainers, but I cant see why that would stop them being added to Britain too

8376

as if gaijin would model that

the F-4E still dosent have its correct cockpit after years

i dont kno about the radar so idk but the r-73 dosent matter too much when you have the magic 2 and mica

8377

And I hope they dont. Whats the point of having multiple TTs if Britain just has one of everything and I dont want to see even more British vehicles buried behind sub-TT additions. Just look at our Ground tree

8378

They did for the F-16CM, Su-30SM2 (eventually), etc., so…
