Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Last I check it was because they couldn’t get the gear door hardpoints to work (imo just model them even if they don’t work). But hey, Gaijin likes a) using PR words, and B) the phrase “rules for thee, but not for me”

Unsure, they are currently pursuing their own stealth fighter program but have decided to stay with their Rafales.

From what I remember they could, but decided it wasn’t worth the effort. However the F-16AJ is also supposed to be different form the one in game in other ways.

  • It is depicted as the airframe of the (second I think) YF-16A prototype, which is visually distinct from the F-16A
  • Said prototype was also displayed in the brochure featuring Sparrows mounted on not only the hardpoints seen in game, but also wingtips and other underwing hardpoints
  • The brochure mentioned the capability for TV guided bombs, likely GBU-8

So the weaponry is limited and the visual model inaccurate, even ignoring the feature Gaijin didn’t want to add.

That’s the only F-5 I could think the thing is it isn’t the Northrops F-5 but the ones Canadair built. for the NF-5

Right yeah
with the cool maneuvering flaps n shit

I feel like a BeNeLux tree would be belgium on the ground with dutch subtree and dutch in the air with Belgian subtree.

Naw theres more than a dozen.

Yep. modified flaps. The whole reason I was able to use the Dutch F-5 as a premium(in my Canada air tree) is because they are a variant of the Canadian ones.

So it’s weird they say Northop as Canadair would be closer after all the changes.

Yea Belgium air doesn’t offer that much but yea ground is Belgium strong point while the Dutch is more towards the air side.
