Ajax is pretty good now the flaws are ruled out, the fire power is excellent and it has good mobility/protection. It will dine at the top table of IFVs

Although… I think this is more likely of what you mean. Its a coastal defence ship.
Noordbrabant (1900) (Holland-class cruiser)
waiting for us players to say it need AIM120-C3s because it isnt strong enough lol
Well… The Dutch were renowned for their effort in the pacific and around it.
It’s very, very weird that we haven’t seen the Fokker D.21, D.23 and the T.V yet for the TT.
These were some iqonic aircraft of the time.
The D.21 is already ingame and the T.V is made by a War Thunder Live user.
It’s the most produced bomber by the Netherlands during WWII so it would be weird to make it a premium, since this is iconic for the the Netherlands.

thats just people over hyping it, the thing is probably on par is not worse then the current F15E at least the blk2 and blk5 anyway
I was thinking more the seven provincies.
Honestly dutch naval is most interesting cuz the cloggies are good at submarines, but theres some exciting surface stuff too. I vote the ordered 1914 battleship and the 30s battlecruisers come.
The Dutch East Indies Air Force had a lot of different planes, but none of them made it into the game. Some of them would be simple Copy paste but with a great story of how bravely the Dutch defended themselves despite Japanese domination in the air

Considering that it’ll be put into the French tree, I do hope we at least see the French equivalent first.
I kid, I kid. Gaijin would never add a low or mid tier French ship that didn’t appear in another tech tree first.

Reject MBT, embrace CVRT/W ;)
Thats where the true British power lurks, everyone always ignores the Ferret, sat there, waiting for its time in WT to troll harder then even the Fox.

Yep. Wtih all the fake nerfs Gaijin applies to the CR2s. Better to just run Scimitar, Fox and Desert Warrior and bomb the living hell out of the other team with CAS.

The only changes from the existing -120B for the AIM-120C-3 war changing to Clipped Wings & and control surfaces, so it’s only relevant to airframes that have internal bays, also technically due to that it would take a slight performance hit too.
The -C4 makes some improvements to the Warhead (?changes to a Directional Blast Frag?), which doesn’t really have an impact on flight performance.
The -C5 adds the longer motor & small GCS section to maintain the Center of Gravity, so would be significant performance improvement.
The -C6 optimizes the Target Detector (proximity fuse), to allow for Small Target (e.g. Class 1 & 2 UAS) defeat.
The -C7 improves the Seeker (unknown) in some fashion.
-C8 Backports some improvements of the -120D series, for Client / export nations but not everything.
The -120D-3 refines various guidance systems to improve kinematics significantly(apparently at least +50% over the 120C-5), probably by the introduction of a two way datalink and GPS/INS and more efficient trajectory shaping.
If I had to predict how things are going to go, -C5’s and later are likely to be held in reserve until either the Gen 4.5+++ variants of the Teen series ( F-15EX / F-16V / F/A-18E) have been added, and have to deal with things like the F-22 / meteor equipt EF, etc. to help even things out, since past a point extended range performance won’t help (also due to reduced RCS of said airframes), in a similar way to the F-14 / AIM-54 struggling to deal with existing AMRAAM equipt fighters.

Hu… 404 error. Not a great start :D
different aircraft. does work. Does look a lot better
I have been dunking on US mains a lot already in the last weeks. Only fair to change it up every once in a while.

The new wiki looks stunning!
Give your colleagues a tap on their shoulders from me!

Worse than the pre- or post flightmodel/speed/acceleration nerf F-15E?
F-15E should easily match or beat the Typhoon in top speed and climb rate. Typhoon might have it beat on acceleration.
In terms of turn performance, Typhoon wont be a major leap over the J-10 or Gripen C.
F-15E will likely still hold the advantage in a BVR fight. Typhoon will hold the advantage in a WVR fight unless it goes ultra low and slow, at which point an F-16 has a fair chance at beating it.
The closest aircraft in terms of performance to the F-15E is the Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen E, etc. For 80% of nations, the options are advance to the next step, or watch F-15Es just rain Aim-120s down on everyone else without competition.
