JP missiles are not the only ones gimped rn both the MICA and PL12 are also gimped atm

Yeah, but are either of those on F-16s?

IRL the F-2 is an outstanding plane, that was decades ahead of the main F-16 family due to things such as Electronic Support/Counter Measures, it’s AESA, weapons, flight computer, entirely redesigned airframe with carbon composites, and decreased detectability. None of these things except maybe the flight computer are coming to game.

So, honestly? yeah, in game the F-2 at this point isn’t much more then an F-16, but IRL it was by a longshot. For a few kinda short years, the F-2 was literally the most advanced in service fighter jet on the planet untill the F-22 came along. People have kinda forgotten that cause stuff that has came since has overshadowed it, but it was a standout plane in it’s own right.

yeah my thoughts too

My hopium says please be true, because of all the top tier ground vehicles.

But realistically I think it’s fake. It’s also missing the Leclerc prototype that was talked about in the community update article.

SU-30MKI for Britain
2A7A1
STRV123
Mk4 barak

yea na complete bogus

What’s my picture got to do with anything lol

Of those 4 only the Strv 123 is a strange and out of place one. All others all are decent possibilities that are not too out of line with what Gaijin could add.

doesn’t make the list any less fake though.

Challenger 2 Streetfighter 2.
It is very much out of place there.

Su30MKI makes no sense right now

lmao Su-30MKI sure

Challenger 2 Streetfighter 2 something gaijin said wont come

and no new SPAA for the US or UK yeah this is fake lol

for Italy it makes sense that they give us a prototype before the original

I’d say only the 2A7A1 makes some sense here very little tho since the 2A7 is already arguably the best tank in the game.

The barak has no notable upgrade which would matter or work in WT

I doubt gaijin would ever give the SU-30 to Britain. Makes no sense to go down that route since that means a Rafale, Tejas, SU-30, EF2K in one tree and probably an F/A 18 aswell

I mean they have shown in the past that Gaijin doesn’t mind adding Indian vehicles to the TT itself (Osa and Strela). So unless the 30MKI is significantly better than the 30SM I don’t see it as too out of character for Gaijin.
