Noone is saying Britain doesn’t get content, but as was succinctly summed up quite well by gent’s like Ixtav above, it’s the contradictions in snail logic and precedent, that causes the frustration amongst their playerbase.
When it was added last December, at the peak of multipath deck hug furball meta, sure. But we live in AMRAAM thunder now, and Gripen was dethroned by the eagles.

Espeically with BOL barely working as chaff at the moment
agreed but there are some exceptions that work well alone or with friends, like the B17Gs.
Had a blast when played with friends and some “HOW?” moments like when a 109 unloaded onto my friend from under 1km and somehow he got away with minor damage and a kill or when i went into a headone with a Ki 84 and he lost it (what a wonderful fire he catched) and i only lost 2gunners, my copilot and some minor damage to fuselage/wings.

Challanger 3 TD has DM53 with 652 mm of pen.
Ariete AMV has DM53 and only 623 mm of pen and is 0.3 br higher.
Fire rate is only 1.3 seconds longer on Challenger.
Ariete has overall 200 mm less armour then all challengers.
Ariete goes only 6 km/h faster then the challengers, but the challenger 2E goes 7 km/h faster.
Leclerc frontal plate provides only 250 mm of kinetic shell protection. The chally 520 with the drivershatch being a weakspot with only 160-226 mm.
Although a faster reload, the turret of the leclerc provides almost no protection, with only 500-550 at the front but having 800 mm+ on the cheeks, unlike the chally with 700 mm of protection head-on.
Like… sexy? Or their engines being warm?
bug fixes.
Every nation has this… Some, more then Great Britain.
Every nation has this.
True
Since when do the AI planes actually shoot at you? Also this F-104 had better radar stealth than the F-117.
A while now.

Challenger 3TD has a 6.8 second reload (also less suvivability and slower)
Ariete AMV has a 5 second reload
Challenger 2s have L27A1
You can barely flare anything in them, but should be really hard to lock onto. Some evidence pretty confidently suggest that you can block rear aspect shots via viff. There is hope with teh F-117 that its temp can come down to be on par with other nations.
In game, Thrust = Heat for the IR sigs, Harriers have a LOT of thrust (too much actually due to VTOL Bodge) they also gain thrust at lower air speeds. So if you jink and loose too much speed. No amount of flares will save you from even an Aim-9E
Been waiting a year and unlike most nations, pretty much all our Rank 8 aircraft are dependent on BOL

At 40 seconds, why didnt your helmed lock work?
I have this issue constantly, but when playing with russian planes i instantly lock.
yeah in “EC” maps they do this.
The “Bombers” usally have 2 fighters accompany them and these attack you if your to close (but have a rather simple attack pattern)
I have no idea, was working perfectly fine against actual players (other than locking missiles in a headon half the time).
The F-104 was just completely invisible to my radar at that point.
it has a 6.5 second reload. Only when fully expert crewed is 5 second.
So if YOU calculate that second when fully crewed, you should also do that for the chally. Then the chally has a 6 second reload!
I know. 560 mm of pen.
Agree to disagree i guess… I dont have that issue.
Some nations dont even get that CAS at top tier. Look at Japan e.g. and China.
Thought it was 6.8 seconds with ACE. So my bad.
Less than it should be and with only a 4 round ready rack. In a sustained fight the CR2s will have a WAY lower fire rate than the Ariete or any other MBT at top tier
They have mutliple good CAS aircraft. JH-7A, J-10A, etc ?
Widely reported and known issue. Especially when you combine micro CMs vs IRCCM on the FA2 and Gr7
Yeah nah, mate.
That is good at many things. CAS is not one of them.

Thought it had weak but usable CAS
♥♥
You have the same reload as Sweden, Russia and Germany with 6 seconds.
J-10A can only carry 2 GB250’s with only 91kg of explosives.
The JH-7A is decent, i wouldn’t advice bringing that thing to any br higher then it’s own.
With only a guidance time of 60-80 seconds and only having 91kg of explosive mass with the GB250’s… No… that’s not viable, especially not with all the armour the Russians have.
The only “usefull” bomb is going to be the GB500, but with the lack of more then 60 flares, getting four short range GBU’s off is pretty unlikely. Same goes for the GB1000.
Yes.
Trust me both ain’t that good at it, depending on the situation.
Not even their helis can make up for it, as they don’t have FNF, or well atleast for now I guess.

So… future incoming?
But when are we getting some Japanese helicopters?
Since the release of the Japanese TT we haven’t gotten a single addition to it… Japan is a very neglected nation by Gaijin despite of the options.
