der Scheißtank, Or the shitz der panzer
Sadly, so far, there is basically a silence regarding Romanian additions for Italy, Smin only said that they still don’t rule out other Romanian additions, referring to already presented premiums. Honestly I would better wait more, but get more interesting Hungarian/Romanian line filled not only by C&P, but also by indgenious designs and modifications (like at least IAR-81/93/99, Me-210Ca-1, Heja II and LanceRs). And the same can be said about ground TT.
Another very strange case for me is “Letuchiy” destroyer, which is Italian-built Romanian destroyer, captured by USSR. I mean why don’t we have the original RM Regele Ferdinand in the Italian TT, especially considering a lack of good destroyers in the TT?
You might play them, but you are not the main customer who Gaijin wish to appeal to. How often you see Sea Harrier or Tornado F3 in the games now?

This, this is what I hate about what the game is becoming, why have nations if they are each going to be copys of one another, nations have unique vehicles for a reason, yes copy and paste has a place, and if a nation used something they should get it, but no need to add vehicles just for no reason, i choose to play britain because i like british vehicles, not to play soviet, vehicles as there is a seperate tree just for that, i choose go play france to play french vehicles, i choose to play germany for german vehicles and so on

Quite a bit usually. About as often as I see anything from any nation other than US and USSR.
Yep… I dont mind the odd one. There is certainly some really interesting stuff out there from CW. Like id not say no to something like the Avro Arrow from Canada and I think addtions like the LAV III would fill a nice hole. But everything else… Im happy with native and export stuff. Just be nice that when we do get native options, they were even remotely finished

Exactly. Funny enough I originally was a German main but I decided to branch out and started to play other nations till I decided to main Britain. And the reason I play the other was because to play Those nations vehicles that they made, Not for the C&P Vehicles.
The other reason if you want to read it.
(Totally not because I was a decal freak-head who wanted to get them all lol)

as me and many others have realised if you go below the surface britian, italy and most likely many others have tons of unique stuff to add and in some cases even enough to make 10 full lines (yes thats right for the UK) with room left for many premiums and other vehicles with minimum commonwealth
The same goes for other nations as well
Yeah, its not needed. We may have the odd hole. Sure. And those holes can be annoying, but that just takes a bit of flexability from Gaijin or the odd item from a sensible allied nation (Like Canada) . To add things that werent actually in service (heck they’ve already done that with things like Chieftain marksman and Falcon)
Judging by the stats,only by very good players. This is for F3
Meanwhile Sea Harrier
Compared to lets say F-14A which is played nearly 30% more than F3
Exactly, you choose to play a nation either because you like that nation (e.g you are that nationality) or because you like that nations vehicles, ehat pushes people away is the endless stream of grinding and spading vehicles that are in the last 3 trees you played when you could have something unique instead

Yep… and to be honest. Most of that is Gaijins fault.
F3 was added in a dreadful state (the worse possible radar, god aweful flight model, bugs galore) around a year too late by my reckoning and its not even finsihed yet. Still waiting on its FM to be modeled correctly. Its underperforming by about 60% at lower speed and around 5-10% at high speed.
Its missing things like PHC (which in fairness so is the F-14 I think)
Cockpit HUD is missing loads of symbology (major QoL for SB players)
BOL nerfs need to be undone, totally fake.
There is so much that the F3 could and should have that would make it a hella strong aircraft.
F3 FSP should be fun if the compression doesnt suck.

Yeah so for every 1.5 F-14s there is a Tornado in the game, thats still quite popular, the stats are most likely skewed as thunderskill is quite unreliable on kills normally going to the extremes either way
It’s the minor decompression we had. the F3 has kinda started to florish. The Foxhunter is probably the best radar in the game by a country mile. (though we havent seen what Blue Vixen is like yet with actual BVRs)

That would suck.
I’ve been wanting for specific variants as they are not in game. For a personal goal.
Devs or Smin,idr now told us that the FM is finished and they cannot model it any further. BOL nerf indeed hurt. As i have played ADV in sim, the only thing i hate on it is that the locked target symbology appears only when seeker is active,and sometimes not even that happens unless once cycles between IR and SARH and then it finally shows locked target on HUD. But then again, not even this will make Tornado played by more. And for the radar,the automatic change of radar modes kinda skewed the Tornado,as it now very often switches to regular lock instead of PD and locks first chaff.
The fox hunter is better than the RDY-2 ?
No. About 80% of the bug report concerning the F3 (and all Tornados) Flightmodel could be fixed right here right now. That last 20% would require leading edge wing slats to be modeled (like they are on the Mig-23MLD). But they wont fix ANY of the flight model until that code has been written and we have no idea if they are even working on it. I reckon we might see it come with the next set of Tornados like the Tornado Gr4, Tornado ASSTA3.1 and Tornado A200C.
But they have never said it wont ever be fixed. Just wont give any kind of ETA.
I’ve never had any issues with that. In fact me and Gunjob are both missing it on the ACM mode. The F3 actually had that automatic mode swapping IRL and was bug reported like a year ago. Its removal from ACM is actually ahistorical.
All they need to do though, is add toggle options in the settings. Just let players decide if they want automatic mode swapping or not. easy.

Yes, and I say this as someone who bug reported the RDY. The implementation of Foxhunter in relation to other radars is ridiculous. Only the Mig-29SMT’s radar rivals the Foxhunter.

Think so. Though dont have a lot of experience with french aircraft. But Foxhunter is often called one of the best radars in the game
