Right. So before we even start looking at adding anything new to the US. Im of the opinion the first step is to bring all 10 nations up to an equal footing.
Its annoying that everytime we get super close to everyone being equal. Something moves the goal post further along and its almost always a US addition.
Quantity != Quality
When I mention equivalents I mean equivalents.
For example:
The F-16C PoBIT would be the equivalent vehicle for the US where the Gripen-E, J-10B/C, F-16V, MiG-35, etc. etc. get added. I’m not detracting from other nations getting new things, I’m adding onto it.
The quality/qualities of the F-16C PoBIT are different from the F-15E. Just because the F-15E exists, that does not mean the US shouldn’t get an equivalently capable vehicle to what other nations are getting at the same time.
Maybe… But given every update has a finite amount of dev time. It would be frustrating to see US getting another addition and another nation maybe not getting anything as a result.
2023 was aweful for Britain and Sweden as they watched the US get 1-2 new aircraft every single major update and getting even bug fixes for our 1 or 2 additions from the entire year proved ot be a chore. Heck. Sitll got bug reports from that year still untouched,
That doesn’t work now though.
Rafale and Typhoon and F-22 are the Benchmark…we could also add Su-57 and J-20
No Gen 4/ 4.5 airframe kinematically will perform to the levels of Typhoon and Rafale.
F-15EX will still suffer the same issues (yes it will be able to enter the Notch faster and it’s radar and payload are superior) but in terms of raw performance they will lose.
Su-35 is in the exact same position as is the J-10C
The beauty of the vehicles I mentioned is that they’re either based on vehicles already in the game or they’ve been leaked by gszabbi and the other leakers beforehand.
So dev time has already been spent on them, and these take less time to develop than new airframes.
The F-16C PoBIT can be based on a Block 50, which we already have in game. It would mostly just need a new radar model. It would also just need the HMD from the A-10C/Rafale since it gets Scorpion HMD.
The F-15C Late would only require a new cockpit and new radar model. Maybe it would need a BOL mount.
The F/A-18E was leaked back when the F/A-18C Late was added, so we know that’s already being worked on.
Perhaps, but given i’ve been waiting 13 months for them to C&P the EEGS from the FA2 over to the FRS1/FRS1e or add the 495 gal fuel tanks from the F3 late over to the other 10 Tornados. I dont think that “its already modeled” really helps that much
Also, given that the Typhoons biggest issue is the need for them to scrap the radar and start again. If they are developing new radars for all 3 of those additions, then it might mean the Typhoon gets 0 work done. Heck, they tried for a second time to add GMTI to the Typhoon and had to remove it because it was bugged (no idea why it works fine on everyone else, but is busted whenever they try add it to the CAPTOR-M)
God damn 405!
Typhoons radar and payload at this point are a deliberate balancing decision. There is no way Gaijin can be that incompetent.
Yeah, Agreed
I’m still waiting on those dual-rack AMRAAMs…
Idk if they’re historical or not but they’d be quite nice
For the Typhoon?
Probably not. The weight is too much.
But plenty of sources for AMRAAM mounted on the inner most wing pylons. Which would allow for 2+8 or even 6+6 weapons fit. But sources from Eurofighter Consortium are not considered valid sources for some reason
You really underestimate the snail. This is the same company that broke the game for a week and we’re still trying to get game breaking bugs fixed. It genuinely wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t know how to fix the radar at this point.
Externally yeah it would pretty much be the same (other than CFTs) but it would also require the cockpit to be remade. Part of the PoBIT upgrades includes enhancing the cockpit to the same as the block 70/72 specs which mostly means some upgrades to the MFD’s and HUD.
gaijin your map rotation is useless…
Theres a map rotation?
I thought it was just the same 2 maps on repeat
It was removed, now we only have 3-5 maps that can constantly go one after another.
No the map rotation is a coin flip but both of the sides are heads, occasionally though the coin will land on its side and it will have no choice but to put you on the same map but with an air spawn for air battles and with swapped spawns for ground battles.
my face when i give a map a like and this said map only occurs once in a full moon.
maps i dont like i just leave, i wont bother with bad maps. the map rotation is a joke and has to be adjusted
And then the very next match you queue up for you get the same map.
The map rotation is cruel in its torment.
Since the update released I have played the Falklands maybe 6 times at most.
Typhoon performs fine with a crap Radar, nerfed fm and average payload.
Gaijin realise this and do not make changes. They do not action Typhoon bug reports and they refuse primary and secondary sources from nations that operate Typhoon and official materials from Eurojet and Eurofighter.
It is very measured and deliberate.
