It coming with AL-31 instead of WS-10 is so cringe
Point still stands. Naval is the loosest. Then air they are the strictest with ground. U are out of luck until u cant proof it
I am only repeating gajins /smins statements

Tbf, I would expect the current new planes to come into the game buggy and lots of things gimped on it. It took a full year or so for the Rafale to get to where it is in terms of performance, the “new toptiers” should have been added a year ago and could have looked a lot different today after some fixes if it arrived last year.
what a weird way to say that the rafale was added to early

It’s not about whether or not an aircraft has been added too early, the Eurofighter also didn’t get to where it is today until after a year’s worth of work. Just the nature of things coming into the game completely gimped is what I’m pointing out.
It’s not even new, J-11B got the WS-10.
