So no Flankers will be getting ARH’s then. Given how PESA still isn’t modelled in game, and it wouldn’t technically be the first PESA, I don’t see why they can’t just add it to the game. When PESA’s get modelled correctly, along with AESA’s, then just bump the BR up.
Also, F-15C and F-15J are basically guaranteed an AESA anyways, so again, I don’t see the problem with that.
Oliviia suspects that the " extraction " gamemode is related to that, and WT Mobile recently added the assets for the "Flying Ponies in the Sky " event we had in ~2014 - probably to test the Air gamemode planned for their summer update. They already have aircraft up to the Q-5A even w/o a dedicated gamemode, and plan to add aircraft to the MiG-29 at least, according to their website. They might add aircraft planned to appear here before we get to them, like they did naval vessels.
I don’t really think about the Su-27SM at all, but this is technically correct, and would fill the gap if an F-18 or F-15C get added to the game. I still think PESA and AESA are being overblown as capabilities in game. Hopefully I/we can be proved otherwise, but as it stands, the few PESA’s in the game don’t even work properly so I’m not too hopeful.
And it doesn’t even work like a PESA and is BUGGY AS HELL. I think gaijin will have to visit the issue of PESA and AESA at some point, there’s no way they’re going to put something in a plane that works as crap as the Pantsir radar.
I predict this year gaijin might reconsider F-15C (2000) & F-15J MSIP (2005) with AN/APG-63(V)1 radar before F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar with JHMCS and F-15J MSIP (2010) with HMS
The first thing I’m going to do when they implement that social feature of voting for the next vehicles you want to see in the game, I’m typing in “MiG-31”
