I mean the T.1 and the F/A-18A+/C will be fairly similar so I can see that 100% and we’ve already the J-10 and the Gripen which you combine the 2 and have the EF basically
Its 5 new airframes (F-2, F-18, Typhoon, Rafale and Su-30). 6 depending on what israel gets. China im guessing will get a later variant of an existing aircraft.
Last year in December we got
F-15 (US, Japan and Israel)
Su-27 / J-11 (Soviets and China)
Gripen A & C (Sweden and Britain)
AMX (Italy)
Mirage 4K (France)
AESA is over-feared for war thunder contexts, unless its properly implemented. I can pick up a piece of AESA in tarkov and expect it to prove more worth than AESA in war thunder.
F-18 for US
F-18 For UK via Canada
F-18 For Germany Via Switzerland
F-18 for Sweden via Finland
F-18 for Japan via Malaysia
F-18 for Italy via Spain
F-18 for Israel via Kuwait
:D
But yeah, I cant think of any reason to delay aircraft like the Typhoon or Rafale, especially after the F-15E
i guess i always thought they would stretch it out because we are getting pretty close to totally modern stuff. it would be good practice to keep hyping up EF and Rafale by giving them individual updates, no?
or i should just accept the fact that Gaijin isn’t a normal company and they can do whatever tf they want :)
I would rather have similar non-top tier addition for Italy this Winter update instead of another non-Italian top tier jet.
One of Aermacchi or hell maybe even Caproni would be a nice present.
I doubt BMD-1s will get much love at all, it has mobility but nonexistant armor and pretty tough weapon system. AFAIK it doesnt have konkurs so its stuck with 73mm and malyutkas. The BMD-2 should be better.
