From our trusted leaker who got 3 list right in the past

Nah, Its the US. They’ll get it. They’ll eventually get them all.

Though I wouldnt put it past them adding the 11.7 one as a premium. Though you did just get the F-20

As long as there’s one I can get without spending money, it’s all good

My current bet is you’ll get one at the same BR as the Sea Harrier FA2 probably next patch, maybe the one after. Would just make sense as to why they waited.

I would not stress to much about that. Leak lists, even when correct, usually miss stuff, especially copy paste. And the F15C model is already in game with the F15J. Adding an independent F15C for the US would not be to hard.
However, I would guess that Fox 3s would only come to single engine airframes, as only them are currently capable of carrying fox 3s in game, relegating the su27, Mirage 4000 and f15 to missile buses (although the su27 still has 6 R27ERs), so I don’t actually think that a dedicated F15 is coming for the US. However that would make me wonder what Japan would have in terms of fox 3s

I want to give the ones who think that is a good idea some choice words.

The same words are why the Germans were scared of use during the world wars.

Yeah. Either way, the F-15C is still my main hope for this patch. Not happy with the way they added the F-15A. 9Ms should have waited till the F-15C Think some things need to be moved around at top tier.

8V8 to start with

R-27ER should go away below like 12.3

F-15A can lose 9M and go to 12.0 with 9L and 7F/M (what’s the difference)

We could get an early SU27 with no 27ER
/ET to counter it

Would prefer having R-73s and R-27R/Ts on the 9-13 Mig29 and that early SU27 and the multi path nerf for Sparrows removed so they’re better at range.

Would make for an interesting loop, America does well at range but if Soviet players can play smart and make it to the merge they can wipe the floor with Americans. Much like mid-80s combat IRL.

Oh yeah and bring back historical battles too please!

Yep but still a lot for one update though already.

Fox-3, Benelux with a hint of a coastal tree for France.

No

F15 with 9L could still very much stay at 12.3. It’s not like the aim 9Ms are it’s main strength imo.

I doubt F-15C this update. Would just steam roll everyone. But Probably September, with Typhoon coming December to counter it

Kk

I think missiles are the make or break for planes at top tier. Flight performance is secondary… Especially when you add R-73s into the mix

I’m also a stickler for historical stuff and I think this game has strayed from that a little too far.

Since India is all over the place and mainly dominant Soviet things it should really be in the Soviet tree.

No. Absolutely not. It is unneeded.

Britain alone would be absolutely fine. But we also have South Africa that can easily fill the tiny holes in our TT.

Then if CW was needed. Then nations like Canada, Australia or New Zealand should be used and not India. The only Indian vehicle we should have gotten and should get are those that Britain exported to them. Like the Jaguar IS or Sea Harrier FRS51

Not at all. Giving a nation to one that doesn’t like is a recipe for disaster.

If the UK needed to get a second sub-tree:

Canada
Australia
New Zealand

are the best and only choices.

Fox 3 were already almost implemented for the last patch. It was only a matter of balancing them. Benelux will be 80% copy paste if they add more than 3 vehicles. Coastal tree for France apparently will be a premium testing phase, so in the same vein, they still have 1 more update to go through. I still would not consider this leak list to be final. We will probably see some upgraded variants of already existing airframes (Germany is still lacking a fox 3 carrier for exemple, and it’s not mentioned in the list, meaning they’ll probably have a F4F ICE or some other nation aircraft, like Swiss f16)

Not the Soviet tree because it will have the same issue as Canada but a independent if it can’t be a good subtree for any other nation

Id not want F-15 Anywhere near 12.0 mostly because it sucks enough to fight them in good 11.3s like the F3, even worse in stuff like the FGR2/FG1.

The F-15s FM slaps anything and everything at 11.3 and whilst its mostly a compression issue. It still should not be seeing things like Phantoms with 9Gs and Skyslugs

Swiss F/A-18 you mean
