Look at that doesn’t remind you of anything
to be fair i think that chinese one might be older then the skyranger
Does anyone know if south Africa actually trialed a Leopard 2 that was was a 2A5 or above
Really want to revive that dead ground line
I dont see anything here, is that a modified J10? Looks so lame smh
thank duck no, Qatar maybe, but that doesnt realy fit
Well per the lore of arma the rhino mgs(rooikat mttd with 120mm smoothbore) will be the standard wheeled assault gun of NATO, sure it is 11 years too early but who knows
Shame
Another line that is at its end
Qatar wouldn’t really fit any where in the tree
but yeah, generaly i would argue most south african countries are just plain to poor for proper western mbts on the mass they would need
I don’t know why they gave us a sub tree whose best modern mbt it has was a centurion
It was a 2A4 I think
Yeah and Ukrainian tank as well

Not sure if you meant players in general like more tanks or not, but figured I’d quote you just to talk about this.
Going by this post by @gszabi99_HUN it seems what people really want are planes:
Spoiler
This makes sense and explains why Gaijin has been focusing their updates mostly on air vehicles. Far too long they were a bit neglected while they expanded the ground stuff and now their “back to their roots” with air. I’m sure they’ll get back to ground and keep updating naval but interesting information to have nonetheless.
It does seem to make more sense to get another F-15J, specifically F-15J MSIP since Fox 3s are soon.
However like @MAUSWAFFE mentioned, the XF-2A or F-2 early only has this tiny window before at least Gen 4 planes with Fox 3s to be competitive. Especially since these early variants were air focused with little ground pounding capabilities.
I’m not familiar with the EFT, maybe it has Fox 3s and doesn’t use SARH, which makes it too strong. F-2 early however is stuck with SARH missiles and AESA or not, their best ticket is their flight performance with AAM-3 and unlike the F-16C they can’t carry 6 x AAM-3 like the C’s 6 x AIM-9M. We all also know, dogfighting in air RB is just not a thing which is why the F-15 is very strong and competitive, even when the Gripen and F-16s are king at dogfighting.
Unless they decided to skip to the F-2 late when we get EFT, which I suppose works because L-JDAMs and AAM-4A or AAM-4B, but I’d imagine Gaijin wants multiple F-2 variants just like they’re doing with the F-15J variants.

I will be happy with the 2A4 tbh as then it more or less western.
Why not this huh

It didn’t use SARHS but development aircraft versions of it are similar to the F15c
i was talking about more content in terms of vehicle sorry for the missunderstanding

Did it have the capability or just flat out no?
Oh no worries. I like said, I was just piggybacking off your post to drop that info for discussion in case it wasn’t mentioned in here before.
Skyflash was maybe possible, or at least maybe briefly used in testing, but its typical loadout would be 4-6 IR SRAAM (Aim-9L/Aim-9Li, Aim-9M or ASRAAM/IRIS-T) and 4-6 BVR MRAAM (Aim-120B or Aim-120C5 or Meteor)
I personally thinking Gaijin is operating as if it could only equip the Gen 5 IR missiles and later AMRAAM for some reason, only way it really makes sense to me.
But of key note, the Typhoon doesnt have AESA, It uses the CAPTOR-M a Mechanical radar for quite a while
That is curious since an IR only EFT could be nice. What other features does it have that make it Gen 4.5?
Usually I’d think it’s electronics and such that push aircraft from Gen 4 to Gen 4.5, with Gen 5s being mostly stealth tech.
Then again, are generations defined by capability or time period of introduction?
DA versions have the engines from the tornado
What makes them 4.5 comes with the production ones
