Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Yeah, they could. Which is what I would consider problematic. But again, it seems that the historical timeline is more important than game balance.

That is fine if you and others feel that way. I just personally find that balance is more important.

Absolutely. I really hope that it will come at some point.

FGR2 didnt get aim9G until well after the MiG 21MF had R60s.
Did you know the Aim9D had an overload meant you couldnt launch it in a dive couldnt turn and launch it hell if you werent perfectly level you couldnt launch it all.

Germany have always had albeit a maybe an update later a comparable airframe.
F-86CL 13 was the best jet in the game and the best Sabre for a long time.
The MiG 19 and F100 dropped…germany receieved a MiG 19 the patch or 2 patches after…Britain had a Hunter…
MiG 21 and F-4 dropped, Britain still had a Hunter (least the MiG 19 was formidable enough)
F4-E and 21-SMT germany receieved the MF
Britain would eventually receieve the FGR-2 and it was good the best Phantom for the time it was fast it had a vulcan and a Aim9D when added were incredible.
They nerfed the engine performance they nerfed the missile and the FGR-2 became a brick and food for the 21 BIS and F-4E.

Britain then didnt get a new top tier jet for 4 years!
In that time Germany recieved the 21 BIS, Mig 23, F-4F 2 versions and the MiG 29 came out the same time as Britains Tornado F.3

Germany have always eaten good.

Actually quite wrong. Currently the second best AA in-game after US battleship is Italy one, as they have accurate time fuze on 37~90 mm guns. They are very deadly, even a threat to F3D-1, one of best CAS aircraft in current War Thunder naval.

For armour, armor is much better than those two. It has 330 mm vertical armor which is little worse than 350 mm vertical armor of Bayern or 304.8 mm inclined armor of Hood, but 76 mm of turtleback is much better than 50.8 mm of Hood(which be overmatched by shell bigger than 14’‘), and 30 mm of Bayern(which would be overmatched by any capital ships’ shell)

Largest user of the EFT? good joke…. You guys got 119 which you are reducing to 107 while Germany has 138 with 38 more on order

and now germany doesnt have top tier fighter and CAS while Britain has both

Mate, adding a plane to all nations that used it at the same time would be the most balanced approach you could take.

Just giving a nation that imported the vehicle access to it, while leaving it out for the export nation doesn’t have a different impact compared to just giving it to all nations at the same time.

Are they not to fill the role of the Tornado ECR though and wont have the systems the Tranche 4 Typhoons will have?

You do the F-4F KWS is top tier. It’s in the top tier bracket.
Cas the Tornado has LGBs its not like you are lobbing unguided rockets.

15 of those will do that as a sort of fast step in. The EK step 1 will have Harms E and Arexis while a step 2 will be ordered later/ step 1s will be upgraded. Dosnt change the fact Germany is the largest Eurofighter operator and will remain that for the time EFTs stay in active service.

We only had Ds Gs didnt come until after the introduction of the MLA

False, germany had the Mig19S that was better preforming then the Mig19 of the russian tree

Again False it came to the game with R60s as far as I can find anyway which was a video from the start of 2020

and again im not oblivious to this fact, you are just wrong some of your statements, you read that the FGR2 was added 2 patches before the MF and think that it was some great imbalance oblivious to the fact its radar was barely functional had worse missiles ten the F4C (AIM9Es instead of Ds) a far worse airframe then that of the F4C and Mig21 F13.

you also seem to forget that when the FGR2 was added SARH missiles werent in the game yet they werent even added until 2 updates after the Mig21 MF had been added to the game, so no it wasnt nearly as bad as you are trying to make it out as.

Britain is looking to procure F-35A with the concerns the Typhoon fleet isnt fully upgraded.

you understand that top tier is 13.7(12.7 ground) not the 11.3 RIGHT?

Yeah, but the person I responded to, unless I mistook their words, did indeed imply that the A model should be introduced first, and then C later. Which would be fine, but switzerland only ever used the C and D model hornets, thus having the German tech tree waiting for another patch untill C is introduced. Widening the performancegap between techtrees in the meantime. THAT is what I would not consider beneficial. Because the ONLY argument FOR that is the historical timeline

Does that somehow make the Tornado unable to perform in a CAS role?

oh, you call 3-gen aircraft top tier, right?

The GR9 (top tier CAS) is no more surviveble than the Jaguar with LGBs or the Tornado thats the point I was making.

It’s 13.3, so yes, it’s top tier.

Modernised Gen 3 can hang with Gen 4 The Tornado F.3 is gen 4 is that superior to the F-4F KWS?

thank you, and as I said as well SARH didnt come out until after the MF was in the game
