I mean there’s still a difference between PMC/Private owners and Companies. For example failed private venture exports are still added, such as the Cadillac Gage Stingray for the US, which was entirely private and never tested by the US military.
Less than that, as again it was never armed. If we follow “provisions to be armed” we suddenly also get radar, Fox 1 missiles and RWR since those “could have been fitted” as seen by aerodynamic tests with Skyflash mockups for example, but that’s not how demonstrators are treated in game.
These aren’t unfinished prototypes cancelled before their time, they are finished aircraft that just weren’t armed.
So just like that EAP is denied because it’s armament would be literally nothing.
Yes, it’s an unfinished prototype, just like the Yak-141, but unlike the EAP or Su-47.
Hello TheChosenMonolit, why I didn’t even know you name was TheChosenMonolit but if I had to look at your username I guess it would read as TheChosenMonolit but now you’ve told me you name was TheChosenMonolit so greetings TheChosenMonolit : P
The issue is there are no documents with intent to arm EAP, only documents to arm a later “EAP” military intended aircraft, similar to F-20A and AIM-120s.
Su-47 has the government contract order.
And while I don’t personally care for Su-47, comparing it to EAP is a false-equivalence.
I didn’t vote on Su-47’s suggestion despite seeing it the day it was posted, my biases are semi-against it.
I’m going to compare it closest to something that was government contracted that failed to deliver a product.
Edit: Proof of future “EAP” aircraft would’ve likely been armed has been provided by @Sebbo_the_Plebbo in this post, I didn’t have the documents folder open on my computer at the time of my post otherwise I would’ve posted the promotional material document as well.
As evident from the very hollow A-6E SWIP and tech tree BMD-4 promises (lest we forget about the other more minor things like MAW on J-8F)?
Y’all literally waited for Russia to come out with a new BMD model that’s how bad the devs cornered themselves. And of course you made the tech tree one “worth grinding” by making it the worst of the bunch ( Not the first time the premium “sidegrade” is an upgrade, need I mention a few more examples?)
Did I get that whole thing right?
Sadly plans can and do change. Thats why we always make that clear. Everything is subject to change. Nothing is ever 100% and plans are something that are always fluid and changing constantly. Thus is the nature of game development. Its never always linear.
Could you please link specifically where we promised the A-6 SWIP? I am not aware of any edited article or post that mentioned this vehicle. Hence why I am curious where this claim comes from.
Its entirely possible we may have said other versions were possible in the future.
We said there would be a tree version of the BMD-4 and there is. Im not really sure what you mean by the rest of your post there other than a personal opinion. But it doesn’t change the fact what we said would come did come.
