I suppose the question is, with the BR split, what BR would a Tornado with only dumb bombs be? The CAS potential of such a plane actually seems severely limited.

Mw-1 my beloved.

Germans will be mad though, it would have GBUs

Its tricky. You do also have the split CMs hopefully coming next major, which hopefully means the Tornados can get their missing 1200 chaff. Which might help getting to targets.

Maybe 10.3/10.7 for GRB

Though I really hope for CBUs sooner rather than later

As for those with guided bombs. Im hoping we can finally go to 11.0 for air modes

At this pace, developers might as well eliminate national distinctions.

Soon, it’ll be the same planes, tanks, and other vehicles battling each other anyway.

While I appreciate the concept of land lease and historical context, there are numerous indigenous designs available.

It would be more interesting to explore those rather than resorting to quick and easy copy-paste solutions

I wouldn’t be shocked. I recall a moment some American mains were doing polls on having the F-16AJ Remove from the game (Before the thing was even added into the game mind you.)

Im waiting for F-35 to added for some major debate

You mean some major leaks. but honestly going to gen 5 air scares me for that reason alone.

Oh god

Oh boy I wonder how well that will go when half of the nations uses it.

Yep…

F-35 spam would be bad enough if just the US got it, but since almost everyone will have it…

F-22 spam will probably counteract it to a slight degree. Just turns into F-22 vs F-35 furball for ever and ever.

Im curious how they’ll find a competitive aircraft to the f35 and f22 when those are added, there’s the su57 and j20 but past that there’s not much 5th gen wise. I guess france could use some of the latest rafale variants, but gripen e wont cut it for swede’s. Finnish f35 maybe?

Tranche 3/4 Typhoons should stand a reasonable chance.

yeah but germany, uk and italy are already buying the f35.

Yeah, though techncially its not an A2A fighter

US, Britain, Italy, Israel, Japan: uses lightning ii themselves
France: RNLAF
Germany: RDAF
Sweden: RNoAF
lol
