It cant though? The gripen was pulling insane AOA that no fighters are able to pull. Iirc 24° sustained with full fuel is nutty. EFT will probably do better than the current gripen but i wouldnt be suprised if the gripen still has a tad bit more AoA since its smaller and gaijin snail magic. Just wont be able to rate fight until we get the new engine.
The Gripen was just a buggy mess and very much an Ace combat plane on the dev lol. I dont doubt the EFT will be added in such a state but since its more likely to be the main focus of the update when its added i also wouldn’t be suprised if its FM was more realistic than being blessed by Belkan magic lol
Damn, this Belgian Cockerill turret for the Boxer is quite well modelled! And a LWS for the Cockerill 3105 was added, even if KNDS and Cockerill didn’t market that option for the Boxer variant specifically.
Idk, its looking like it might be the strongest 10.3 LT for rn, though with a LWS on top its gonna be a pretty good vehicle. Especially since itll fit into the lineup
I looked at putting Manxman on there since it was leaked, but I had trouble justifying what to do with it. It would be a lower BR than any other Squadron vehicle, there are tons of premiums at that BR range already, and Abdiel is already in the tech tree.
My best guess is that it could be a battle pass vehicle, so I didn’t include it because it wouldn’t be added as part of the update (technically)
There 's no more low Rank battlepass prize vehicle though, they replaced them w/ the trophy box for a vehicle from a previous season or event. The current one has naval vehicles in it, next one might have tanks or aircraft.
That might also mean that the free prize or paid prize BP vehicle in an upcoming season could be a naval vehicle, while the more traditional aircraft or ground vehicle would be represented via the trophy box only.
The " Fire and Ice " update integrated the battlepass to the theme of the update overall, but there haven’t been many fall updates since they started the battlepass so it 's hard to tell if they might do that again.
