Wouldn’t Max BR just be things in service and the prototypes for things replace them? (after major BR decompression of course)
WT technically doesn’t have a shortage of vehicles just 90% of those are locked behind nations without a home(aka tech-tree or sub-tree). but that circles back to needing more nations and how more tech trees are good for the game.
Even for nations in the game, so many variants of vehicles or vehicles that nations used are missing.
But that circles back to the fact that 90% of the unique stuff cones from WW2 and the 50s.
I personally think these semi-real aircraft should have been the way to go, it would allow gaijin to avoid the full paper World of ___ style vehicles but would also keep allowing for a large ampunt of uniqueness and competition at higher teirs
Dont get me wrong, I love the F-16, Mig 29, Gripen, F-15 and F/A-18 as much as the next person, but I dont like the idea of tip teir being the same 5 aircraft fighting each other constantly
And if people really want 1:1 realism then DCS is probably a far better option than spending half your life grinding out war thunder
and then… that’s it. We dont have any other aircraft for higher BRs.
Unless we see the next gen of Typhoon and/or 6th Gens.
We could see other nations be added to Britain, but failing that, im thinking they will just go back and fill in the gaps and that could include proposed aircraft. Though there are a LOT of missing aircraft as well.
Like I said we still have a lot of real stuff missing it’s just in the past. even just for the nations in-game 500+ if you count all the variants of the vehicles.
Plus we have the nation that could get at tree have at least 100+. and the possible sub-tree nations often have 50+ when I went looking.
This does come down too soon or later people we need to realize Top Tier isn’t everything and most of the “unique stuff” is in the lower tiers. As the top tier slowly becomes the same for all allied nations.
like I’m sure we could make 1-2 more ranks with missing WW2 stuff.
and the 50’s they need at least 3 ranks. compared to the what? less than one they have?
Hawk 100 (Early) 10.3/7
Hawk 100 (late) at least 13.0 if it gets ASRAAM and Brimstone
Hawk 200 (early) 10.7/11.0
Hawk 200 at least 13.0
Hawk 200 (Night attack) 10.3
Typhoon IPA series and DA.4
Jaguar GR.3
And several South african aircraft including the Cheetahs
Hell you could even throw in the Nimrod MRA.4 if you wanted a Civilian airliner with 8 ASRAAMs
I was thinking more 12+ and Britain only. As in end of line stuff. did forget about the Hawks, though I doubt they will get end-game weapons though like ASRAAM
Im actually expecting Jag GR3 at 11.0 with Aim-9Ls. Yeah it could get ASRAAM, but I just dont think its worth it. Especially with aircraft like the Tornado Gr4 potentially better suited for that same BR with ASRAAM as well.
A better option would just be a Jag Gr.1A (late) restricting the GR.3 to just 11.0 almost throws out the whole point of it being the best jaguar especially limiting it to being a slightly better GR.1A when one of the main reasons for the upgrade was ASRAAM intoduction
Yeah, could do it. Just a tricky question of BR placements thats all. Whether a Gr3A would even be playable at 12.7/13.0 even with 2x ASRAAM. Its still a Jaguar
I would say 12.7 - 13.0 would be fair, its in the same issue as the standard GR.1, any lower than 9.7 and its AIM-9Gs murder subsonic, flareless aircraft, but any higher and it gets slaughtered by all aspect undodgable missiles due to not having flares
Plus the Tornado GR.4 would be way better than the jag if it gets brimstone
Yep, kinda my thinking, though with split Air and Ground BRs. The Gr4 could be at 13.0 for GRB with Brimstones and 11.7 in ARB with 9Ls and it wouldnt matter as much. Though Id hope for ASRAAM for it, Kinda expect it to be the first due to obvious limitations.
But yeah, we’ll see about the jag Gr3. Im half expecting it as a premium 11/11.3 to match aircraft like the WTD61 and Su-39.
We could just as easily get an Omani, Ecuadorian or Indian Jaguar for that, hell india even has a jaguar with the AGAVE radar that would make a nice premium
There is also the Sea Harrier FRS.51 which got some pretty good missiles
Just to double check, are we sure that Hungary has no leopard variants to offer for a tier 7 premium? It is more than weird to think the L2A4TR is going to be Italian, at least to me.
Imo the order is more likely to be ariete variant-cenaturo variant-Hungarian vehicles as of premium tanks.
We havent seen premiums that are 10.3 besides the A-6E, and thats the initial bunch. F-5C was moved up so it doesnt count. The F-4 JUNK is rather underwhelming but everyone just carries bomb and grinds that way, so its still relatively popular.
For a tier 7 I would say something like the cheetah.
