So Statcards would actually be trustworthy?
Is that even allowed?

I’d be looking for useful imformation on the new statcards!

Like STR and ITR performance, possibly AoA Information
maybe listing a Speed next to the “Rate of Climb” figure too

For ground vehicles they’re mostly fine but could do with some expansion
like horizontal traverse angles, reverse speed, gear count too and maybe available shell types, like listing APDS, APFSDS, HESH, HE and Smoke for something like the Strv 103C

If they go for a complete rework (as in a new menu you open, or hover over to view) Graph’s might be extremely nice too, kinda like the new shell comparison feature.
Like Speed vs Turn rate, Max speed for aircraft, and Gear ratios (and in the future) maybe Torque Curves when they are modelled properly,

One can dream but I hope its a hefty rework to provide more useful information to the user

Could we perhaps look forward to any new Skyhawks this coming patch, or am I huffing too much hopium/copium mixture?

9635

look I really would love if we got more planes in this BR range but that’s unfortunately quite unlikely

@Smin1080p_WT
Netma has revealed amk kit business and if this is added will a separate plane be added or as a part?

9639

Don’t you think that it’s a lil bit too early for that? Lmao

I mean, we are talking about a future modification that’s part of an upgrade programme that hasn’t even really begun

9640

Definitely as a separate vehicle. More than likely coming with the rest of the P4E upgrades.

9641

so either we’ll have only ASRAAM/IRIS-T on the AESA typhoon as soon as the next tech leap in Missiles comes or only METEOR and the rest will come with the next EFT or that EFT with AMK and more P4E mods won’t come at all

9642

They’ll probably add another fantasy spec variant lol

9643

if they do add another one at all that is

I can absolutely see them keeping this as the top plane for the next 5 years with the addition of F-35s as only next option

just remember how long we had the Phantom FGR.2 as only top plane in Britain or how long the Italians were stuck with the G.91Y

additional evidence: has any F-16 nation gotten 3 levels of F-16? has any nation gotten more than 2 Phantoms? have there been more than 2 MiG-29s in any nation?

I do get what you mean, but the F-16s and F-4s aren’t good examples lol

F-4C, E, J/S and F-16A, A ADF and C in the US tree

F-4F early, F-4F and KWS in the German tree

F-4J(UK), K and M in the British tree (they realistically should differ more, but Gaijin doesn’t want to change the Ms loadout)

Netz, Barak and Sufa in the Israel tree

9645

imo they were perfect examples
F-16A and ADF are or rather were the same generation, no power diffrence when they were added

the rest is exactly like the EFTs 2 in different power generations (although the AESA doesn’t have what I believe will be it’s signature weapons)

9646

F-16A OCU, F-16A, and F-16AM for Belgium in the French tree also
France also has two Rafales that are identical apart from the naval one being heavier

remove the premium one and the thing turns out true again

2 different F-16s with different Power gens

with the Rafale’s I too believe there that one will get better missiles than the other one soon

9648

They don’t have a premium one, it’s a SQV

9649

depending on your view, Japan (F-16AJ, F-16A OCU and F-2 (Agile Falcon deriv.))
France (F-16AM, F-16A OCU, F-16A)
Israel (2 Netz, 2 Barak, Sufa)
and ofc US (F-16A, F-16ADF, F-16C)

Japan (F-4EJ, ADTW and Kai)
UK (FG.1, FGR.2, F-4J(UK))
Germany (F-4F (E), F-4F, F-4F KWS)
and ofc US (im not naming these)

Not even the USSR has more than 2.
USSR (MiG-29, MiG-29SMT)
Italy (MiG-29, MiG-29 Sniper)
Germany (MiG-29, MiG-29G)

if you keep using Premium/event/squadron planes and even completely new Airframe types like the F2 then you just desperately try to prove me wrong for the sake of proving me wrong, even if that is absolutely irrelevant for any pattern recognition here

9651

Well they’re technically correct, you didn’t specify tech tree vehicles

9652

I didn’t specify Warthunder either but everyone somehow missed that

or understood that part of the context
