F-15C, F-15E & F-16C with AESA radar it might should separate vehicle from F-15C MSIP II, F-15E and F-16C Block 50 to rank 9 ~ early rank 10 because Air-to-Air & Guided Air-to-Ground armament since mid 2010’s ~ present and long-range, and battle rating 15.3 ~ 16.0
The F-15E RMP and F-16C PoBiT equipped 3+ gen & 4th gen targeting pod
I hope so too, although idk if it will be the A (CAS) variant or C (Air superiority with a lil CAS), regardless, I’ll be happy with any LanceR (except B, that thing is useless lul)
Since Enlisted has previously provided some vehicles, such as the paratrooper transport planes and armoured train, and more recently their Sd.Kfz 251/1 APC appeared in the files, it 's also possible that these motorbikes might appear in WT to replace the old low-detail ones currently used as ground targets and moving diorama scenery.
Not entirely true, the JA37D ai on the first dev server had them on their pylons but they did nothing and still from time to time loading a viggen can occasionally have them appear instead of the normally loadout you had selected.
Current top tiers features similar gameplay than existing rank 8s two years ago, except back in these times only the tomcat gets ARH. So I agree that rank IX seems superficial before we start talking about stealth, supercruise, AESA etc. These systems also benefits gaijin more than we do.
I asked a friend more knowledgeable on the subject, and he says that only the F.4 Rafales and later ever received HMD/HMS in French service. I consider that late. Ofc export ones seem to have had it before through modifications.
Id assume before any of rank IX air/ground there will be rank VIII helicopters first, but would only contain a few. UHT, Ka-52, HAD Block II, 129D, yanshuf would be on the list. Additionally stuff like Z-10ME with CM502AKG, AW159 with martlet, AW249 fenice, tiger mark III and Z-XX etc in the future.
