So, what’s everyone’s devblog predictions for today?
Hopefully a aircraft devblog, but probably a pre-order announcement for over the weekend

Without knowing anything, I think pre-order ship.

mavericks can be intercepted pretty easy, especially by pantisir.
not saying its not a problem too. Sure they have a very good payload too, but not even close to the MTs effectiveness. CAS is a real problem rn and should get nerfed by Spawn Points and minimum ground vehicles spawned or just making any modern OP CAS in game 1.3BR above top tier tanks, so you could have the option to not face them.

Yeah, gonna give people a grind option to think about for the weekend.
That’s already the dumbed down version too. The domestic FS-X had a far more ambitious system
Generally as far as the final F-2 is concerned, it was likely to keep the Japanese aviation development going and reuse technologies developed for the domestic FS-X after the project was forced to an untimely end by political pressure.
So essentially the same reason why a simple license production was refused, and why even the SX-3 design the F-2 was initially based on was altered near beyond recognition.

I remember JAS-39, Tornado, FA/18 and F-16C was competing, but this paper plane won, then US exert pressure to JP so they choose F-16C and modified it into F-2
It’s the pantsir’s problem, isn’t it? especially it’s ESA fire control radar. now we are getting some new things and this may change.
as I said, poor MAVs

I know nothing about old battleships, but I keep seeing people say it’s to early for ships like the IJN Yamato.
What makes it so special or better than the ships in game atm?
(I don’t play naval nor will I ever before they add modern naval stuff)
Do you know when the devstream is coming (approximately)?
No

If there is no teaser today (and there probably won’t be one), then next week, most likely on Friday as usual.

If theyre crazy they could drop the teaser in the morning and do the devstream in the afternoon/ evening. But this is very very unlikely. Theyre prolly going to do the devstream next week.

It was mainly a domestic competition between Mitsubishi and Kawasaki designs.
The Mitsubishi design won and entered further development. Many technologies such as the radar or composite wing structure of the F-2 started development for the domestic FS-X.
But political pressure from the US, mainly done by artificially amplifying what used to be minor budget concerns, eventually caused the project to be cancelled, and for Japan to look towards other nations. At this point aircraft like the Gripen, Tornado, F/A-18 and F-16 were proposed, but eventually the SX-3 was selected as the base for FS-X
However a lot of even the SX-3 design ended up changed regardless, resulting in essentially a whole new aircraft and a total cost roughly equal to estimated numbers for the domestic FS-X, despite the reduction in aircraft ordered in the end.
So basically Japan were pressured out of making the new plane, so they took a heavily modified proposed variant of a foreign aircraft and made a new plane out of it.

In tank terms, it would be like adding Leo2A7 back when top tier was Leo1’s vs T54’s. Or in air terms, it would be like adding F-22 back when top tier was Phantoms vs Mig23’s. It’s just skipping so much stuff and going straight to the very end.
Naval warfare often just very simply boils down to biggest guns & best armour wins, and Yammy has the biggest guns and thickest armour.
Like look at Iowa, another ‘end game’ battleship supposedly coming. We have completely skipped over the North Carolina and South Dakota class. What’s the future for those ships now? With the likes of Iowa / Yammy etc ingame, they’re destined to be added in a DOA/Obsolete state. They will never experience being top tier. They will be added as a prey item for the better things which came before them.
Top tier naval is so insanely compressed that WW1/Interwar ships are probably going to end up fighting Yammy if it comes, and they wont stand a chance.

I’m already preparing a suggestion for TALD decoy munition for the US planes, this could be fun to have against those new AA

fly low to the pantsir location, drop bombs and hold A + S to do a maneuver and escape his fire
And then die to another SAM or an aircraft.
The idea isnt to trade your Tornado for the Pantsir
