Although there is a relatively good argument for the addition of the modernised Kfirs because the Israelis are famously good at actually modifying old airframes, and not just strapping Fox-3s with maybe some MFDs and a new radar to an aircraft with ancient avionics/countermeasures/ECM
you mention the main problem immediately, I like that
these Post Cold war modernisation projects are the perfect addition to ease the Power creep
they can easily seperate all Gen 4 Airframes with ARH missiles from earlier aircrafr and Gen 4 without ARH
they should’ve been what we got before Gen 4 ARH was broadly introduced
Do we have a credible leak list yet?
Over time, and with a more diversified air RB they should be added, but for the time being they are stuck in the dilemma of entirely relying on their missiles (often limited in amount), in a game mode surrounded by far superior airframes, this means that once those 4-8 missiles are gone, then you just get hounded by everything you are fighting, again when air rb is less compressed and has a better dynamic that isn’t just team deathmatch with some bases then I think there is justification to add the modified aircraft.
First devblog on the 10th trailer on the 12th release on the 17th
They could also be just dummy missiles. Pretty sure the project never got far enough to actually integrated the missiles.
Yes two
Gzabi is very reliable and has been for years so I’d take his over anyone else’s. However leak lists are never a guarantee and you should wait for the teaser next week :)
Gszabi and chinese website guy are some incredibly reliable ones. They are the only 2 sources I personally trust.
Yep, same here, I never get excited until I see it’s from either one of those
Yea other than that I trust no one else at all
Same for me when I still could get excited from leaks.
During the course of this year my crippling depression would just return everytime they posted a new leak and I looked at the ground content lol, but at this point I’m beating a dead horse.
Is this an opportunity for a shameless self plug?? Yes it is!
Little outdated because of the Viggen getting RB.99s and the ICE going down but the point is there
ICE shouldn’t go down, everything better should go up instead
Yeah, I’m going to have to second this, moving the F-4F ICE down would be kind of like the old A-10 situation. Some poor 11.7 facing an AIM-120 is a bit nutty.
Yeah, some airframes on this list are really outclassed. However in some way fighting FOX-3’s in the F-4J has been fun, probably because I’m a Phantom Phan, but either way,
Reading through all those I just can’t understand why the Mirage 2000D-R1 is the same BR as the C-S4/5.
The 2000D-R1is heavier than the C-S4/5, lacks radar missiles, and has no internal gun which means you need the gunpod which makes the FM worse than it already is.
Muh statistics
Ya’ll might as well accept it, community opinion doesn’t matter at all
JH-7A can become the Fox 3 carrier, funnily enough.
But with the current BR compression I think it’s better off not getting PL-12s.
