Nah man, they obviously are extremely fragile
Just look at their tiny wings, small fuselage and paper thin tail stabilizers
There’s no way those planes could survive even a hit from a 7mm bullet
Yeah, totally not armored with titanium and triple-redundant flight controls
I mean it’s a nimble fighter something that is between the Gripen and the Falcon so I’m not really surprised smaller nations are going for it.
Side note if South Africa does go for it then that would be awesome lol
modern mig21 all over again
Eh more like a more powerful F-5 for countries that don’t want to use US equipment
Both aircraft that have a record for being able to take a missile or two and keep trucking irl and yet in game if you look at them wrong they fold like a leaf.
Honestly the people asking for the new modules for planes have either never played helicopters and tanks with with them or are doing it hoping it would effect a specific aircraft that they hate for some reason.
Hinds are some of the most well built helicopters irl and yet in game you can completely disable one with a single 7.62. Really good for gameplay guys trust.
Yeah it’s insane how badly damaged some of them got and still made it back
Fixing things doesn’t earn money, so never
Helis in general have been screwed over a lot by the damage model changes
Sure, some helis deserved to be more vulnerable, but the already flimsy helis and those that still lack a detailed damage model instantly become inoperable after taking minor damage
The fact that taking damage can prevent you from using countermeasures is extremely stupid from a gameplay perspective
Unfortunately, we then have War Thunder in 2026:
- objects hanging in the air
- objects crashing into the tank, leaving you with nothing but a j-out
- a bouncing crosshair after a track is damaged
- tanks disappearing in the middle of open field because of the “spotting system”
how old is that game ? xDDD
that comment I made was for GRB even if it was at 50km it wouldn’t be very hard to do that lol for ARB it would be a lot harder due to planes inherently being able to split up a lot more, the issue in GRB is a team of 16 could have 8 SPAA but it doesn’t matter if all of their radars are set up in a 1x1km area (thats being generous for GRB)
Fair enough thought you were speaking of air RB ahah
We wait for Polish tech tree
The CDK is being updated also with the next update, yeah…?
Wouldn’t hold my breath. Gaijin seems to have forgotten about the CDK and have just left it rotting in a ditch somewhere.
MiG-21 all over again
You should really counts the days of saying this
Would highlight it more
