I still hate it that we didnt got that, would have been a very unique feature to the plane.
Also i still dont belive it didnt got them because of “Engine Limitations” or “that it couldnt work because the Missile would be lost when the gear breaks” etc (i think these where the Reason said that time).
I just have to look at the Tornados or F-111 that have pretty much the same “Weapons on moving Hardpoints that can be lost” mechanic have (there should be no diffrence between a Hardpoint on a moving wing or a geardoor).
They just didnt want to give Japan the “Best” F-16 at the time and anger all of US mains.
Its been a while where i think it would be ok to bring the AJ closer to the Brochure and i wouldnt mind if the price for that would be a Higher BR or worse Engine.
Gaijin doesn’t care about early jets bro, they put 90% of their energy into top tier because that’s what runs the hype and thus the business. When I say premiums, I don’t mean rank 5 specifically, I mean the entire game. Premiums is what matters most to them.
Also having more than enough premiums at a given rank never stopped them
Until we get an actual plane scouting mechanic I will continue to (ab)use that mechanic as much as I possibly can
It’s a shame that Gaijin apparently cannot be bothered to improve anti air gameplay and mechanics (yet they feel the need to keep adding better CAS lmao)
Hi @Smin1080p_WT Are there any plans to add powerful small fighters in the next update, such as the F-16C PoBiT/16V or MiG-35? While they may not match the capabilities of the current 14.3 or the revised 14.7 version, these are quite unique and would make for an interesting addition.
