it really wouldnt make any sense though, increased amounts of the most advanced a2a weapons is the selling point of the EX
Well Grov is the short name of the guy behind the store team, when everyone was complaining about the prices, he defended it like hell
They added the Eurofighter with 9Ms and 120Bs, and the Rafale with Magic 2s, the missiles are usually the limiting factor as that is how they balance the game, why would the EX be any different?

Silent Eagle with angled stabilizers was one of my favourite looking planes ever… shame they didn’t go with them!

I was against it because nothing like that should be locked behind a paywall after gaijin stating they had no interest in giving the D model its weapons it was made for. I was also against it because i knew it would be a worse ICE at the same BR because compression is horrible. In sim its alright but for ARB its essentially food.
Main point though was locking something that should’ve been TT behind a paywall. Even more of a Jok3 considering the AI decal and the price of the whole thing.

This is honestly why I kinda stopped playing Eurofighter, or Top Tier Air RB at that, hahah.
After a few matches, I realised that Eurofighter didn’t really feel any different than F-16C or F-15C when they are all carrying the exact same missiles.
In the current Top Tier meta, 80% of a plane’s effectiveness and “feel” is its missiles… so, as of now, Eurofighter doesn’t really actually feel like an Eurofighter; more like a different-looking F-15C.
I understand that it may be too early for Meteor… but maybe AIM-120C should have come for the new Top BR fighters to counter stuff like MICA-EM.
That being said, it’s already desperating that even most of the current FOX-3s don’t care about notching or chaff, so I don’t even know what can be done to make Air RB fun anymore, let alone with more capable missiles. It’s probably just a me-issue, but I don’t know. I feel like ARB is currently; take-off, you get 7 different missile warnings, try to evade/defend, can’t, die, repeat. So no idea.
I’ll better just stick to GRB, which is my thing xD

Increased amounts is the selling point, they’re most advanced by definition, why would you not put your most advanced weapons on your newest fighter jet, would be kind of pointless if they designed it specifically to use up all their old weapons wouldn’t it?
yeah, I was enjoying top tier before this patch, even the F-15E was fine to play against but now the game is just not that fun, and the Typhoon doesn’t feel unique enough yet, what I really want is ASRAAMs, and more Chinese jets

I mean that better option than ripping apart a nation just to appease a major in WT.
What nation is it now? Qatar? Look at their air force and you’ll see why it honestly should be spread across nations, or ripped apart or whatever you want to call it
I mean for Air RB the ground Meta is back even more so since only some nations have the payload or the engine performance to sky climb and lob their Fox 3’s.
Honestly the 16 player lobbies are so awful because of the amount of Fox 3’s up at any given time. Its also bad because if you get Russia, Sweden, China, on a team as the majority you’re basically screwed. (Rip grinding Russia past 13.0 for a while.)
Again it was also pretty bad when it qas just the F15’s but id like to see the meta shift and the natch maker actually change, id love to see a few experimental game modes come in to see how they perform, maybe gun only for those that want that. Regardless the sky climb meta has been pretty stale especially with how basic the maps are imo.
Idk maybe its just me but having to play notch simulator for the first 10 minutes of the match with non fox 3 carrying vehicles is just stale. Especially when AIM-7E2 doesn’t cut it at this BR. Aim 7F is better but not enough to make me take more than 2 when AIM-9M is available.

F-15QA reference?
Oh im waiting for other nations to get the AU and Canada treatment. Ready to see Danish vehicles on other nations (if we get anymore lol)

No i just was just stupid and pressed q instead of w lmao
I am very tired and i also dont care enough to change it, you understand it thats good enough for me.
It’s more Canada than Australia, Australia has 15 vehicles and 14 of them are in the British tree, which isn’t really that bad. Canada on the other hand is split 7/3/2 between Britain/USA/Germany, which is actually awful

So then replace AU with Finland, you can have a bigger Finnish lineup on Germany than on Finland lol.
Regardless i do wonder if Canada will ever be added officially as either a Subtree or be added into a mixed multi national tree where there is no one specific nation as the progenitor.
I feel like Australia will eventually be added to Britain in some official sense, though the trees are getting pretty full so IDK how that will look.
Canada on the other hand, I have no idea, it staying split between the US and UK seems most likely unfortunately, I don’t see them adding it to Britain after we’ve already gotten South Africa, India, and then most likely Australia first, though I can hope, and I know from the Canadians on here that adding them to the US isn’t a popular suggestion, though still probably better than being split forever. I think the best case is just waiting for subnational folders, which is the solution we all want and need

Except for Canada/Australia, do we have any other cases that provide one nation’s vehicles to at least 2 nations as subtree vehicles?
I mean to much lesser extents, Turkey, Poland, Austria, Finland, Romania, and Vietnam, but none of them are as bad as Canada

Yeah, i think aside from Turkey and Poland which are split on quite a few nations i think we can expect to see everyone aside from Finland be split to other nations.
Finland was given to France, Germany who has more unique vehicles than Finland lol.
I think Romania is probably going to stay with Italy, i cant see them going anywhere else. As for Turkey and Poland i feel they are the most likely to be given to a nation before long.
