Let’s say F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak II lose all medium-range Air-to-Air Missile and AIM-9M replace with Python 4
F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak II battle rating up to 14.0 or stay 13.7 ?
I don’t mind F-5T SCU Tigris move to early rank 8 and battle rating higher 11.3
But Python 3 stock instead AIM-9L x2 and received Python 4
Now you mention it, EAP skin for the FGR4?
Fingers crossed for G3 for Britain.
Already done
I know, but not officially in-game as a purchasable skin. Smin can’t show off his favourite aircraft to everyone else in the match without it otherwise 🤣
Honestly I don’t think the AMRAAM/Derby should be removed in favour of Python 4. IR only aircraft at higher BR’s are just tragic to play. The US F-16A and the Belgian F-16A at 12.7 and 13.0 respectively are awful to play. Granted Python 4 will be far better than AIM-9L and AIM-9M but lacking medium-long range missiles heavily restricts how you can play. I just don’t think it would be fun.
Id imagine these things(yamato, iowa etc) goes to 8.0. They are unironically going to face canberra and il28 etc and somehow still not worry about AA.
Now the question is, what would Italy, France, the Soviets and Germany offer to deal them? Britain could take out the vanguard and even possibly lion. Alsace would be a far strech, vittorio veneto has nothing but pen and mediocre protection at best, sovietsky soyuz is only worse, and Germany is stopping at bismarck.
Researchable Drones When?
What kind of drones? Strike UCAVs are out of question. FPVs would be a big no as well.
This one we can indeed answer right now, as we have most recently in the last few major updates added SPAAs in this era. We will always aim to fill more gaps, including SPAAs moving forward too.
No new news on this front currently.
CR2 hasn’t had any negative reductions since its overhaul. Which also had some positive improvements too.
The devs will be working though any outstanding reports on the vehicle. The main overhaul was completed however.
Hi smin, will seperate aircraft BRs for naval RB/AB be considered soon? Aircraft gameplay in naval does not offer huge significance half the time.
Su-30 early variants for soviet/russia and china coming to the first major update before Su-30SM, Su-30MKI (post Super Flanker upgrade) and Sino-Flanker ? 🤔
If F-4e Peace Icarus was added, which tree do you think it should be in? U.S. because the Phantom is a U.S. design and there’s already a greek apache in the tree? or Germany because they’re the ones who helped with the conversion and its effectively a f4f ice with guided bombs and a new cockpit? Added as a premium/event vehicle btw.
Do you maybe mean project 1047 (which I like to call "Scharnhorst’s Dutch Cousin)?
Probably the US. While yes Germany helped in the conversion it is still a US airframe, and with the precedent of a Greek AH-64A in the US TT if it was to be added then the US is where it most likely would go.
Sadly this wouldnt be something practical to offer or maintain. As you can imagine, with the sheer number of vehicles we have in games, times the number of sources per vehicle required / used (which itself can very from 10-100+ lets say depending on what), then for each system, HUD, mechanic, missile, shell and you end up with a hugely incalculable number.
Maintaining that in list form simply would not be practical. With how many people and teams working on vehicles, coupled with changes based off reports and consultant finds, it becomes clear to see why having a running list of everything ever used would not be viable sadly.
Not something planned for the foreseeable future at least.
The biggest reason I even mention Germany is because the U.S. had literally nothing to do with the conversion itself. The conversions were done based on the work done to the F-4f ICE programs specifically.
