Agreed.
I’m just curious about what they could be…
My best guess for France is the Mirage IIING, with Magic IIs, TGP, and possibly even the CM dispenser from the Mirage IIIE (afaik never fitted to the IIING nor even part of the advertisement pamphlet, though it wouldn’t surprise me if it was an option).
Best guess for Israel is the Kfir 2000/C.10
Best guess for Russia is either Mig-23-98 or Mig-21-93
Best guess for Italy is Romanian Mig-21 LanceR
Best guess for Britain would be the ATLAS Cheetah C
Best guess for Japan would likely be some Thai upgraded F-5E, or maybe another SEA nation’s upgraded 3rd Gen
China could get either the F-5E Tiger 2000, or the J-8 Peace Pearl
No idea on what Germany could get, and also no idea on what Sweden could get
I guess sweden could get a JAS-39A early with it’s current loadout and no AMRAAMs, or perhaps a JA37-D Late with it’s historical AMRAAM loadout?
for Germany the problem is now that the only existing requirement for a premium is that it is a lower BR than the current top TT plane which will likely be the F4F- ICE next update
that rules stuff like F4E (Peace Ikarus) out, and since they chose to make the MiG-29G TT instead of Upgrading the GDR MiG-29 to that standard this one is also not an option
that only leaves foreign vehicles and weird mediocre additions like a comically Buffed stock F4E from TaktAusbKdoLw USA or a MiG-29GT with only R-73E
Edit: I suppose a C&P F-20 is a possibility, F-15A and F/A-18A could be too but those are very unlikely
nothing here
I’d also very quietly add Tornado IDS ASSTA 2 with IRIS-T to the possibility list, tho that one would be broken in every way
I have a theory that they want the top premiums to be ARH capable (but that might be the F-20 Aim-120 cope hehe)
Surely they won’t want their top paying customers to suffer against the main meta? Probably why they’re bringing this premium rank in…
We’re practically guaranteed to get more premiums, the F-20 being the only one is suprising though, but I don’t think it means anything. Given gaijin love money, we’ll see some more soon very likely.
F1 has been buffed a lot since release
Mostly these 3:
-it’s MTI has received IFF
-Magic 2 have seen many many incremental increases
-Cockpit has received target highlighting on the HUD. A must for sim.
But yeah, premium M2K (with more than 2 missiles like a 2KD) would be an insta buy. Even if it’s an 11.3 with only Magic 1’s and 530F’s as they were for the first 20 or so production models.
