Sorry to bother, but are the old forums no longer accessible?
Out !
They were to be deleted two years after this forums were created.
Darn, I liked to go through them and look at all the old suggestions and what not.
Also, War Thunder on game pass? And I get extra stuff for free? Too bad the SL crates are around, I would have actually put the free 600K SL towards a new tank.
Ah, finally, maybe we can look forward to some new devblogs?

What if gaijin will use next patch to add ESA aircraft to nations who still doesn’t have one? I think it can be done with minimal efforts.
Cloned F-16 with AESA will cover USA, Israel and China.
Grippen E will cover Sweden and Italy through Brazil(Brazilian AMX)
And Brits can get cloned Su-30.
As the result all nations except one minor can get ESA radars with minimum efforts for devs and maximal re-use of existing assets.
Or they could just add an AESA radar to the Typhoon, Which then also deals with Italy and Germany without really messy additions like Brazlian Gripen E

Eh… Harrier T10 specifically maybe not
Harriers in general (all 14 of them, for things like FM, Heat Sig, Sooty Exhaust, etc etc) + RAF Harrier II reports (like missing loadout configs) + BOL. Does stack up quite a bit
Harriers need a complete overhaul.

I thought that jets like F-15 or Typhoon with AESA radars will have overwhelming performance, so excluded them, leaving planes with limited missile count and/or limited flight performance.
Not really. At least at the moment with Gaijins implementation of AESA and a lack of features like ECM. If you are adding a Gripen E with AESA and we already have Rafale with AESA. Typhoon with AESA isnt exactly all that much stronger than either.
Gripen E also gets the gimbaled radar that the CAPTOR-E has iirc. (I actually want to say that the CAPTOR-E uses the Gripen Es gimbal thingy)
In any case. Brazil isnt a sub-TT of Italy and that still excludes Germany. So Typhoon getting AESA is the easiest option if the priority is AESA for everyone
Gripen E would have a 2+7 fit which is technically more than the F15E and Typhoon if they maintained 2x IR and ran as many ARH as possible on remaining pylons. Rafale also doesn’t have “limited” loadout with 8x MICA.
Also, Gripen E and Rafale don’t have limited FM
Gripen E won’t go 2+ Mach like F-15E to throw amraams at extra long distances. MICAs just dont reach long ranges themselves.
I think we are nearing the point that without any new mechanics, radar performance is starting to flatten out and get less impactful for every upgrade.
Ive did video and a bug report with it, and no view on it
Yes it would do mach 2 easily much less drag at high speeds than a f15
Just a bit of a information, gripen can track targets 360 degree spherical trough arexis AESA antennas
Mach 2 is its quoted maximum speed its not going to “easily” reach that
