The bismarck is somewhat adequate too. Not overpowered in its current standards. However we need to convey the message that naval needs decompression as well.
Yes, while there is nothing stopping the Israeli F-16s carrying AMRAAMs, I don’t believe they were used until the F-16I, so stripping the F-16C and/or D of it’s radar missiles and giving it Python 4s could end up being quite fun, and with how the Python 4 seeker is in game right now, it would be far from OP.
Personally I would love for the F-16D to receive this, just Python 4s and A2G weapons, to make it stand out against the F-16C
Personally I think the F/A-18C will come in the June update, maybe with AESA radar and a push for multiple aircraft to be updated with AESA and PESA radars.
That’s what I expect, June update tends to be a big one, and the last 3 years the US have received a tree topping naval aircraft in June with the F-14A, F-14B, and AV-8B all coming in successive June updates.
Best case we get a USMC F/A-18C with the AESA radar and a new wave of top tier missiles for most if not all nations
I’m not too sure with the missiles, I think we might get some upgrades to the missiles but not full 5th gen upgrades. Maybe AIM-120A’s swapped out for B’s with they’re proper modelling or maybe better 9M’s.
I’m not certain about missiles but by June it’ll have been a year since we had a new one, I could see PL-8B coming as well as limited Python 4 introduction with a nerfed seeker, also R-73M or R-77-1.
They could also improve the ARH missiles though that interests me less
Su-30, F-2, F/A-18, J-10B, J-11B and perhaps JAS39E were the most anticipated. Additionally non-top tier jets such as MiG-23-98, base kfir c.10 has been discussed as well.
There are voices for the MiG-25 but I dont think playing it would be fun.
Aye, I expect the less exiting of those aircraft will come in March, J-10/11B (just one) and JAS 39E Early(which would have fit the 4.5gen eurocanard patch perfectly) primarily, I would also hope the F-2 comes, make a nice China and Japan rivalry themed patch but somehow I have my doubts.
Then whatever doesn’t come in March comes in June with the big F/A-18 and SU-30 mega patch that comes with some big new feature as well
Primarily I expect March to be ground focused so no new airframes, I could see the F-2 being a June update hopefully at the latest
Only the VEAK 40 would get it, IF it was added, I myself am for it only getting the updated HE-T chells. same performance as the DCA 40 and Leopard 40/70.
Probably. The F/A-18 needs to be like 15 months late to the game before it can be added. So thats why I think the Su-30SM is the next flashy thing. Which seems odd to me because the Su-27 does fine in Air Sim. But because Air RB gets the most focus, its a bad plane and the Russians apparently need something “better”.
