Russia does not need another Su-27 copy either. Or China.
Heck why China is getting too much jets lately? Do they have to implement Chinese content to stay active there?
Unfortunately, nothing.
ZTZ99A is the current best of the Chinese MBTs. And China won’t get a decent MBT unless Gaijin unnerfs the ZTZ99A or VT-4 series, which is unlikely right now.
Type 10 with experimental APS can be added but other than that, idk.
- The US got 8 jets this year… 8…
- Russia and China actually NEED new jets because the U.S. got given a new competitive top tier jet that broke the ceiling that they ALREADY HELD.
China is also getting a lot of jets because they just made a ton of them later on.
like to make this clear. The F-15C was the best 13.7 in the game for 2 updates… and they literally added a better jet to the same nation. The meta nation got power crept by itself.

Because they realized China is a good market to expand in.
And also they need to quell the rage of Chinese players against Gaijin after their inaccurate modeling of high-tier Chinese vehicles, or else they won’t give Gaijin any money.
Wouldnt be so bad if Gaijin gave it the proper cockpit RWR and Radar
I researched the J-11A more. Unfortunately, even the MLU is stuck with N001, and the RWR likely remained the same. So yes, it is that bad irl.

Iirc there was very late ones upgraded for Chinese weapon compatibility that were seen in combat trials
But at that point just add the J11B
It doesn’t really matter now. All original J-11/J-11A are slowly being phased out, any upgrades they have received are probably minor.
However, the latest Su-30MKK/MK2s in Chinese service have been recently integrated with PL-12 and PL-8B.

but 4 AMRAAMs
MiG-29M would be competitive, MiG-31 would have basically the same play style of the F-15E but on steroids, there’s a lot to choose from… I would be heavily surprised if only the su-33 is added.
Still hope they don’t get anything too modern that will overshadow Typhoon and Rafale if they are actually coming

Yeah i am expecting (hopium really) something like the F-2 for japan to go with the F-5s they are adding.
And maybe some form of Su-30 for the USSR.
On another note i do wonder if this update is going to introduce SEAD and ECM. Because there are alot of signs pointing towards it being very likely to come soon and something like ECM in particular is kinda needed going forwards tbh.

This is true only for ARH slingers which don’t carry AIM-120. AIM-120 + adequate radar with datalink = monster.
Try playing a Harrier with AIM-120, you’ll see.
Also F-15A is cracked and not really comparable to the other three.
Stuff like JF-17 are very weak for ARH carriers, but they still really shouldn’t fight SARH slingers too much, but they also shouldn’t fight F-15’s.
The issue is AIM-120 is way too strong for basically no good reason.
Now we reach what I find something that can’t be serious.
In the game I play, AIM-9M is the best IRCCM missile outside of the rare HOBS shot against somebody who is not aware flares exist.
Still totally inferior to an adequate radar and AIM-120, it really isn’t a contest.
In order to be in a position where the HMD and R-27ER have advantages, the enemy lost already by poor positioning and you are essentially ambushing them or they are inattentive.
They are where they are for the same reason F-15E is the same BR as Su-27SM.
Gaijin’s sense of “balance” is so totally alien to me. The only thing for certain is it looks little like what you or I might call balanced.
Starting to grind the EJ
Gaijin : Woahh hold it there bud,
Me : Why ?
Gaijin : Mig-23’s dominate alt’s from 10,000
Gaijin : 9 min wait because you blow up on the runway due to sensitive gears.

You know from playing the F-5 FCU i didnt have as much of a problem with MiG-23s than i did with the J-7E spam
And if the two were on the same team together which they often were…oh so much pain.

J-7 mostly try and do a head on which most of the time they fail so for me it’s not a problem, but the Mig-23 are the flying rats of the skies though
tbh f14d is like 13.0 worthy with 9m, they should move the B and A back down
