AFAIK the A6M5a is just the A6M5 Kō, so it should just be the old pacific campaign Zero they removed from purchase.

Mascots from the Japanese Air Force
Have to play ground vehicles to get em

When did the Japanese Air Force get tanks?

4033

I need that thing to return

4034

The A6M5 Ko currently is available for purchase (on PC at least)

4035

Are there any plans for the su27/27sm to get foldered in the future ? like the f16a/Adf with the f16c, in the event of the addition of the su30sm.

I wasn’t expecting that, but I’m not complaining.

None of these are surprising at all, but isn’t that a bit low for the Su-17?

God damnit they really went through with those terrible BR reductions

Yeah sure, why not, lets just recompress the hell out of the 10.0 area

Oh, and can’t forget the Su-25BM at 11.0 with R-73s, because that is totally necessary

4040

Wonder why they added ahistorical HMD instead of just removing AMRAAMs from it, this was also recommended in the comments of the Feedback thread and even CC’s.

Why did they only lower Israeli F-16A?

4042

I think i found your answer about why it was ignored /s.

4043

This is a really nice change, the accuracy was nerfed to become pretty unbearable even with the APHE

4044

Ah yes Harrier GR.3/8C/8S is .3 worse than Tornado & SU-22 yes yes.

wooooo compression.

also have to laugh at this, of all the 55 vehicles being moved in this section, only 12 of them are actually ground vehicles, weeeeeeee.

A comma is missing there, don’t worry your US one is going down too

4046

Nah it’s ok BR for it

4047

Had me worried for a moment.

F-20 should be 12.0 then tbh

4048

So looks like once again most suggestions were ignored

4049

not really, it has very similar FM and weaponry to the F-16As, has a better radar but worse CM count, they are equal in my eyes

4050

all suggestions ignored if this is final, hardly any adjustments made
