the complain is real, but I don’t agree the entire ASEAN tree removed part. I think gaijin mean a necessary addition from ASEAN to Japan, like Thai F-5 for CAS. because ASEAN is a huge area, with lots of different vehicles, it’s not possible or necessary to add/promise all these things and block others getting these. even not considering Russian, Chinese and US exported things, there are also some Israel modified vehicles which should go to Israel.
The whole thing is a bad decision of Gaijin, not knowing the player’s requirement and do things by an easiest way.
and most of the Chinese players didn’t ask for this, though this idea was proposed years ago, but never attracted attention before the leak.
The interview may have something to do with this. As far as I know, since China TT’s former data provider was impeached for been anti-nationalism(deliberately made Chinese vehicle worse), the position has been empty, and the information collecting job is done by random epiboly, means Gaijin actually can’t hear what Chinese plays want most of the time, so any personal voice that seems represents Chinese players can have some influence.
Allow me to introduce you to the Austrian Eurofighter
Clean and respectful with a little roundel flair, they also know how to take pictures so it doesn’t look like a beaver
If making more variants meant more variants in-game, we wouldn’t have 1 Super Etendard, no Mirage F1A, a small handful of Mirage IIIs and far more early jets than exist in-game
acting like im not happy about the E (one of my favorite jet ever), F111F (which i like), A10C (dont like it much personally but still a nice addition), and F-117 (love it even though its useless).
AV-8B (NA) is nice to see but only makes US high tier situation with premium spam worse.
its pretty unfair to compare a late 70s/early 80’s missile to a 90’s missile, same situation with AIM-120.
yeah they usually save the best for last
the only thing should be compared is the missile or vehicle’s ability in game, if they performance similar, then they have same br, not age
-
the discussion was about japan putting better missiles on their F-15’s than US, which was pretty true for a while from 1991 to 2003 for IR, but they were equal in ARH missiles.
-
the AAM-4 is pretty held back, its more of a 120C counterpart but is limited to perfroamce more in line with the 120A

Naval as well?
The only chance for the Red team to get a decent HMDS for pilots is probably through the Chinese Flankers 😭. Doesn’t look like Russia will be getting it anytime soon. Correct me if I’m wrong.
(J-16 pilot helmet)
I’m excited about how good Eurofighter Typhoon and Rafale pilot helmet will be? like Mirage-2000-RMV and A-10C or will be like JAS-39C? would love to use it in Sim mode.
Personally I’ve always preferred the earlier BoB livery, it doesn’t have the invasion stripes that imo kinda ruin the D-Day livery
Doesn’t look like for naval, unsure if the ground hotkey shares to naval.
Na this is the best looking camo for it, not into the flashy camos
Doesnt look like it works for naval, so thats a real shame, the main gamemode that would have benefitted from being able to swap HE-VT/HE-TF shells into regular HE wasnt added
When I first saw the photos of it, I was a tad disappointed by it, but actually in person, does look awesome
People really often forget this, especially (conveniently) when they want to imply Chinese players are remotely as petulant as US and other Blu mains.
The EFT should be on par with the F-15E in terms of BVR (maybe slightly worse). Both will have AIM-120A/Bs, and the EFT Tranche 1 can take at up to 6x BVRAAMs (ie. a 6/2 loadout of 120B/9Li). The EFT will obviously be extremely good in close in dogfights.
The F/A-18C will struggle to get past mach 1.0 with 10x AMRAAMs and 2x 9Ms strapped to it, especially in a climb. It more than likely will not be better for BVR but rather mid-to-short range engagements. In all honesty it will just be like an American Flanker that has better avionics but no R-73. It will be a missile bus that loses all of its speed in one turn but still has great AoA.
The Rafale will more than likely struggle at long range unless it gets MICA-NGs, but it will be extremely lethal in medium and close range engagements with the MICA-EM, Magic-II, and eventually the MICA-IR. It will basically be a ramped up Mirage 2000-5F.
Overall, I would expect it to be the F-15C/E/J(M) and Eurofighters that will be the most dominant in BVR due to their speed and ability to carry AIM-120s. The F/A-18C will lack enough speed to be so much of a threat; 10x AMRAAMs won’t be great if they’re too slow to reach the target.
so hornet can be better at dealing with furball from safeish distance then?
TLDR
EFT → BVR/WVR
Rafale → WVR King
F/A-18C → WVR
F-15E → BVR
J-11B → BVR/WVR
J-10B → WVR
