Digitalization is literally what defines gen 4 tho. Viggen C already had data link and MFDs with the most capable A2A radar among all EU fighters but that still doesn’t make it 4th gen.
I mean like generations aren’t set by certain features but by the whole overall capabilities and F-16C doesn’t fit gen 4+ at all. It’s literally the most basic mid 4th gen you could possibly think of.
true
and fly by wire but most early 4th gens don’t have this
Yeah
Funnily Enough some mid gen 4s still don’t have it
F-15E being the most notable one off the top of my head. Only the EX is now getting it afaik.
mig29 didn’t have it
yeah, i think that will be it.
Another american reward…
F-15 didn’t have it either
PLS GOD NOOO NO ANOTHER Sparrow carrier!
It would be just fine at 11.3 as a way to compensate the lack of slats comparing to the S and AIM-7F against the J/S.
It is kinda silly how this allegedly made up screenshot went from daydreaming last march to big meh this march
I just liked all of them. I still struggle in the bredabus but I got more than enough 4.0 options. The gae archer is overall decent since forward firing bofors translates to slaughters in 2.3, and despite the strikemaster being cool ill probably sell it.
AR70 decoration is nice as well.
I felt its spitfires turn to get copied
EJ Kai lacks slats as well while having weaker engines.
aaaand lack of HMS
I guess JAS39C Gripen upgrade to MS.20 standard it might be early 4+ gen fighter and fitted PS-05/A mk.4 radar & BVR MRAAM Meteor
F-16C Block 52 (2010) from USAF it not 4+ gen fighter but similar to 4+ gen fighter with PESA radar
Meanwhile the EJ has a F-16 radar, AIM-7F(and 9L without the discussion) at the cost of worse engines - a battlerating where as long as the FM is not as crap as the Su-25T a plane can do well with a good arsenal.
Gaijin stated that they are fine because Britain mains are way too good.(This quote from me is very egocentric however)
And the PDV of the Phantoms is still strong. Which is why they’re 11.3 instead of 11.0.
Hey.

TLDR, we like to watch Britain suffer.
I know you are trying to state that the game needs depression, which is correct, the game does needs some. But it is clear that they should be buffed instead of dropped to lower BR as per the F-104 lessons. It is far more considerate to give them AIM-9Ls instead of reducing the BR to 11.0 for the game.
Similarly, vehicles that are at a tricky position such as the HSTV-L or OTOMATIC should be buffed rather than have their BR reduced, unless they are as bad as the ariete or leclercs.
