while were discussing this topic it should be noted that China and the Soviet union, for once, are the ones that could use a better missile
they need it more than the US tbh

Well Gszabi seems to imply that the tank reward will be copy paste as well, plus the most recent leak claims it to be a “leased” tank, so I don’t think such modifications would be possible if the vehicle were simply on loan.

You mean like the F-15E? There are ways the F-35 can dethrone the F-22 and Eurofighter
Though my original point still stands that the Eurofighter will be perfectly capable against the F-22
And the F-35 goes to all but Russia and China so that does level the playing field significantly

Don’t even hate C&P, I just hate that C&P now frequently outweighs original stuff, or at least definitely seems that way.

I dont see the F-35 coming to the game even in the next 10 years. Or if it does, it will with completely made up stats. I think the EFT will be the end of the line for EU fighters without relying on US or Russian aircraft, like Finland and its F/A-18. It will get better missiles, sure. But the US still has a healthly amount of jets to add even before you touch the F/A-18. Still have F-15EX, the Block 60/70/72 F-16s, F-22, even saw something the other day regarding the F-15E getting a sizable radar upgrade here soon. So Gaijin could probably go back and start handing out the Early/Late titles ago to existing US airframes.
I guess when you have four of the top ten largest air forces in the world, you get the perk of having plenty of variants. Not even counting the slew of strategic bombers the US had and still has. I think the Buff just got an engine upgrade too. Like, what another nation has an AC-130 like aircraft to add if Gaijin went full rubber padded room? And you have the Sky Warden too.
Why is the F-35 a decade away but the F-22 still worth discussing?
I don’t know. I don’t understand the obsession with the F-22 personally. Its a cool piece of hardware but it, to me, is a poster child aircraft. There’s just better/more proven airframes out there. People want it and I dont quite know why because no one here actually thinks Gaijin will get it’s stealth cross section right. I would rather see the B-1 or the AC-130 come to the game before the F-22.
Could be USA Captured King Tiger?
How don’t you know, it was your own claim.
If theres no F-35 because it’s too modern then there can be no other 5th gens aside from the F-22, and if it’s only the F-22 then it can’t really be any better than the top tiers of other nations, Eurofighters, SU-35, J-15T etc because there is no chance of Gaijin topping off the air trees with one nation so clearly ahead of the others
So with that we get an F-22 on par with the Eurofighter and your original point fails that the US will eventually outclass the Eurofighter
American tank LL to another country IIRC is the clue. Also is a medium.
So M26, 46/7 are viable choices.
The tank itself is American, so no.

Well the battlepass is just an extension of the last 2 copy paste patches, disappointing to say the least, one of the only postive things to come out of the last patch (and im contradicting myeslf here) is the tiger pack
Good value for money, in my opionin how packs should be and skinned variantions of exisiting vehciles, maybe do more tank/ pilot / captin ace vehicles in the future as bundle packs

I suppose tomorrow next vehicle maybe ground vehicle or announced 2 vehicle on the same day
Next tuesday, maybe
Well we are in agreement that Gaijin will absolutely neuter it. But my mentioning it above was purely because people are asking for it. I personally can’t see how it gets added without making things up. So then drop it from my previous response amd you still have plenty to add on behalf of the US.
Sure but then that goes back to your previous statement
but with the IRIS-T, Meteor, and ASRAAM still available for the Eurofighter, alongside better AIM-120s and AIM-9s, I don’t really see the Eurofighter falling out of meta at this point, the only thing that could do that would be 5th gens which as you just said, you don’t believe are coming, at least not with their full capability

Just wait til you look at the naval box :)
LCM(6)(F) “Zippo”
Type T-51a
HMS Cadiz
plus one rando lowbie premium, if they keep to the pattern (note, that’s an assumption… they have 12 old navals to choose from that aren’t coupons or cruisers, they did the first 3 plus a rando insert last time).

Russia is never going to be META again by any stretch of the imagination, exactly the same can be said about the US given that advancements in radar/missile tech are far more even from here on out (with EU nations + China soon outperforming any US 4/4.5 gen in terms of range) besides in a war thunder without stealth aircraft and long range fox-3s, then it’s the EFTs, J-10C, Gripen (E), Rafale and Israeli top tiers dominating due to their IR missiles on top of identical or better AMRAAM/equivalents to the US jets.
So in a war thunder without stealth the US will be bang average and outperformed by over half the nations in game

And on top of this there is credible evidence that suggests the Eurocanards (and by extension j-10) can whoop a raptor, fuel tanks or not

I guess you are disappointed.
J-10C will be pretty underrated, it deleted both the J-16 and Su-35 (sold to China) in DACT.
It’s probably the best PLAAF fighter outside of the J-20/J-35.
