And they can always add the F/A-18

Yeah, AV-8B+ too

Already have the F111 so a later version of that

While the US does lack LGBU at 10.3 this is not a bad thing as it has alternate forms of A2G in the form of F&F ordanance (i personally thinkg LGBU at 10.3 is blatantly OP, it was with something like the Jag GR.1A with just two nevermind the Ghibli with 6)

F/A-18A would probs only get Walleyes and Mav Fs, F/A-18C is where the real fun begins with Laser-guided and GPS-guided ordnance

Its the only leaklist that matters lmao

I will have no chance of downtier with them in setup

Then Apache or carpet bomb with F-111 (though we really need CBUs)

If I had to guess, 2024’s December. 2025’s December looks like 5th gen territory.

you think?
I think they are progressing way to fast. Top-tier is not fun at its current state.

Are there any documents available for 5th gen?

I think 2025 will be Gen 5 IR missiles (Aim-9X, ASRAAM, Iris-T) on late gen 4 platforms, (Typhoon, F-15, F-18, etc)

I sure dont hope so. That would mean we still need a lot of br decompression.
And radar planes with bigger maps

I expect gen 4+ to be the next big thing rather than gen 5

We’ve needed that for years,

Yeah, and we still dont have it. So do you really want gen 5 to come anytime soon.
Imagine fighting against aim-9x capable planes in your F-104 ASA.

Because that will happen

Yep, Tornado Gr4 with 2x ASRAAM :P

Tasty,…

I dont think we will get that anytime soon, since most nations won’t have available counterparts. Not even available documents.

I think we will see a bigger expansion of the lower and mid tiers first.

They’ll just do what htey’ve done with the Stinger and Challenger 2. make things up and make them worse than IRL

Then they have to make lots of things up.
Especially for Russia - with their fake ships. And Japan can’t even get a partially build OI Heavy tank (which will be their only heavy tank), since you cant even grind dailies with Japan because of the lack of heavy tanks at rank 3 and above.
