Hey @Smin1080p_WT, Are there any plans to expand the vapour effects to other aircraft like F4 phantoms or swing wing aircraft like f111s, tornados, mig23s etc etc?

He’ll just give you the standard business answer that he’s given to plenty of other people.

Fwiw, seen a lot of people ask this, and the answer was always yes (albeit no specific aircraft named), they’re going to continue adding it to more aircraft in future.

Same thing with new afterburners.

I wish we had a separate option for LERX vapour. Why do I have to set the texture resolution to max to get the vapour effects😭

Above the early C’s, just below the C-5, and not by enough to make a huge difference in game.

Fin size/shape too.

They’ve already said they’re still working on vapor effects for some planes, including the geometric-wing planes.

Ah, I missed it then

When Smin said that the F-16AJ wouldn’t be removed, one of the reasons he gave is that the Thai F-16A would be in a separate line in the tech tree. The entire Thai line is likely a continuation from the R2Y2 line.

Tornado F.3 Early 9L + Super temp

Tornado F.3 Late 9M + 120B

Tornado F.3 well Aged 9M + 120C5

Tornado F.3 Grand Reserve ASRAAM + 120C8

Why would you think it’ll be after the R2Y2s and not the middle line that ends in tier 4?

Because this is likely the update where they will remove the R2Y2s since we are getting multiple early dumb bomb jets that fill the same role. There are also still a few more twin engine heavy fighters Japan can get after the Ki-83 like the Ki-93 and the Ki-98 wouldn’t be out of place there either.

In that case, only the attackers would go there.

None of which would be above tier 4.

If it doesn’t make sense for the F-16 and Gripen to be in the attacker line, then it doesn’t really make sense for them to be in the twin engine heavy fighter line either. It just makes sense to keep the line together since you would just force one line to end at rank 6 then slap a random rank 7/8 in a different line. Also the point of adding Thai aircraft is to give Japan ground attackers, so it just makes more sense to put the best jets Japan has for ground attack in the line of attack light bombers than with a bunch of high alt interceptors.

The main point being that there is still potential additions for the line while the R2Y2 is basically dead with almost no future domestic additions, so it needs to get populated somehow. Even the G8N1 line can get the Ki-91, P-3C, and P-1 in the future. I guess the R2Y2 line could get the S2F, PV-2 P2V-7 and P-2J, but those also wouldn’t go above rank 4 either and likely not even above Rank 3 the first two and that only really populates it as much as the heavy fighter line already is.
