Hopefully, but then again the Python 4 is also the main weapon of the F-5T that’s already in game.
All we can do is hope they don’t just give them AIM-9M and call it a day

This month 's Passed to the Devs contains one vehicle which is in the files as textures, the J 35B, and one vehicle which was in the files as textures but was removed, the Ho-Ni II.

I mean, there comes a point where vehicles are indeed filler.
If we were really to get, as suggested above;
F-15A with AMRAAM
F-15A without AMRAAM
F-15C with AMRAAM
F-15C without AMRAAM
F-15E with PW-220
F-15E with PW-229
(…)
I think half of those are just redundant.
Like, what’s the point of having the exact same plane twice, except one has access to a missile, and the other doesn’t?

True, and with Saladin passed to devs, one can hope soonTM.
Though ofc, which Saladin, technically theres 2, the Crossley Saladins have a slightly different (longer) turret iirc. (you can usually tell which is which by the licence plates, 1 uses military the other doesnt i think)
Would allow Gaijin to do a premium and TT version ofc xD
I think we agree then.
The thing is in modern combat, dont let enemy close to a Fox2 shot, or you screwd, thats the whole point fox 3s added to play on distance, if someone got close to you, then something went wrong on your side
Eh, I figure 1 76 saladin and 1 90mm Saladin. Need to save room for a CVRT premium

What’s the point of having an M1, M1IP, M1A1, M1HC, M1A2, SEP, SEP V2, etc.?
They are there to meet a Given BR, and fill different roles, effectively for the time spent by the dev’s as the majority of the work can be spent once and C&P’d elsewhere.
And besides It’d be nice compensation to make up for the fact that Gaijin stuffs US exports everywhere they can, (and even places that they probably shouldn’t).
As stated above I’d much prefer that at least one variant of each airframe was added first before adding variants, or skipping over them but it’s obviously fairly efficient to bulk out other trees (and helps avoid the meta stagnating or a nation being left without some baseline level of performance) as well since often any specific variant isn’t used by more than two nations / sub trees in game.

Lineups! Which are a thing in Ground, but not in Air.
And even then, SEP and SEPv2 are merely bastardized versions of their true selves. If Gaijin didn’t nerf them into the ground, they would be stronger and better than base A2 and HC.
Thing is; would F-15E with 220s really have a different role and BR than 229…? The difference is big enough for it to be plain out worse, but not big enough to warrant a lower BR, for example.

Dang I guess Sweden’s back to 1 air suggestion
I reckon we might see rank 9 saved for 5th gen. For the US if they move the F/A-18A down to Rank 7 then there’s enough room to be able to leave Rank 9 until we see 5th gens with the predictable 4/4.5 gens we can see.

You do get that Arcade exists, yes? As well as Brackets for Sim Matches.
Seriously, the RB Fighter mafia are shitters, no reason to listen to them.
Yeah stuff like that are definitely not needed. But if they are wanted it can easily be solved by added these differences as modifications that could affect its matchmaker when needed.
And your point?
Folders exist so that the bozos that rush to top tier can skip them. Rest of the sane folks can however enjoy a different playstyle or unlock a plane with higher potential.
Once all the top tier stuff gets added the devs themselves will be forced to turn back and fill things out ( thank god cuz top tier complainers are starting to annoy the hell out of me) and some losers will lose interest in the game, thank god for that.

As I said;
This is what happens automatically when the slightly worse variant is straight up skipped.
Do you really think it would have been better to implement F-15E with 220s, and then F-15E with 229s… instead of just straight out the one with 229s…? Think the one with 220s would have brought a lot to the game beside extra time, RP and SL to spend?
Since Python5 and i-Derby are in game, Sufa could get Python5 and i-Derby. I hope they really put the improved things form the F-16i Block 52/60.
- Elbit Self-Protection system
- F110-PW-229 (IPE) which is a lighter variant which develops over 29,000 lbs of thrust but weighs only 3,740 lbs.
And a turn time of 19 to 21 sec
Yeah?
I’d be down to play it as it’s an earlier variant with more limited weaponry and it could even be balanced differently, in the long run having potential for a different matchmaker, whether inside or outside a lineup.

Maybe some grounds or naval updates before. We already have much of air appear recently. (But i am not against:))

In the very, very, VERY long run, yeah, maybe it could sit… 0.3 or 0.7 BRs apart.
But, at the present time, it would just be a plain out redundant and worse variant sitting at the exact same BR.
I think War Thunder is destined to have indeed more and more variants as time progresses and decompression is achieved. But at the present time, with the current BRs, most of these ever-so-slightly-different variants would just be extra grind at the same BR to slow down progress to the better variants.
Extra grind that’s just skippable though.
Like, why not add more filler and rebalance existing stuff at the same time though?
Hell, the devs are rushing towards stealth jets while all that’s about to happen is that gen3+ and gen4 is gonna be massively powercrept facing them.
Then, knowing them, they’ll make some stuff up to keep the top tier fodder hooked for just a lil’ longer until they pull the plug lol
