Missile amount is also questionable considering the outer MRM stations were scrapped and the inner stations are unconfirmed for AAMs, so unless Gaijin find more on inner stations using AAMs (which would make it 6 BVR + 4 WVR) it’s limited to only 4 BVR missiles. Sure, it gets 4 WVR missiles with that, but couldn’t carry the 6 BVR missiles the F-16 can.
Then again I wouldn’t call it a straight downgrade for BVR still, since the J/APG-2 AESA radar would be superior to the F-16Cs AN/APG-68. With proper J/ARG-1 datalink system, the AAM-4 missiles would get full combined guidance from both the missile seeker and plane radar at the same time all the way to impact, which could actually make the F-2 the superior BVR plane for that reason again, but that is only if they implement it, which for the F-15J(M) they already forgot.
For WVR fights I’d say it’s more of a sidegrade. The added agility would come at a cost of energy retention (unless we get ME FCS mode) and it never used HMD. AAM-3 is superior to the AIM-9M, but the F-2 can only carry them on outer and wingtip stations for a total maximum of 4, and unless Gaijin get around to giving them their real IRCCM and maneuvering capabilities they’re not even much better in the first place.
difference is japan needs the help the US really doesn’t, so instead of the majority of the possible additions just being skins they would be actual vics in a tree
also I feel the zorawar would be a very mid light tank, would only have a 105, and its max speed is 70km/h on road which is about as much as the average MBT at the br it would be, its cross country is a dreadful 40km/h where most actual mbts would be faster then it
I think it depends on multiple factors. The VT-5 also “only” has a 105mm gun and is a really potent LT in game currently, which is why it’s moving up to 11.0.
I don’t know too much about it but I assume it’s performance will depend on it’s BR. Though doesn’t seem like it will be as good as Chinese LT’s or CV90105/120.
eh maybe I just dont see it it looks rather slow for a light tank, I also am not sure if its ATGMs are FnF or not if they arent thats a massive downside at top tier
F-18C MLU is wrong btw, Smin has confirmed the MLU to not be added, rather MLU 2 is slated for the next addition but its not confirmed for next update.
it doesnt change that most MBTs are still faster then it and the ones that arent match it, which for a light tank is really bad our best option would be the CTA-40 Boxer
