I was thinking more about the drag, but I don’t even know how the game calculates this stuff to begin with
Yeah, that’s the real reason, I was trying to think of reasons other than the monetary ones lol

The ones I’m mostly interested in would pretty much just be adding AESA radars to current top tier jets. Each of the ones listed also has a pretty clear counterpart that can be added to other TTs, so it’s more about moving the game along in terms of technology than it is wanting new toys for just the USA.
There are some alternative additions that I would not expect in the TT but could be added in the future as squadron vehicles, premiums, or event vehicles. For example, the F-16E Block 60 and the other export Advanced Eagles.

I really hope we’re still multiple updates away from Gaijin adding planes like AESA EFTs, F-15EX, Su-35/30SM2 and J-15/16 etc. (Yeah I know a certain someone won’t be happy reading this).
Planes like the J-10C, Super Hornet, J-11BG and maybe even AESA F-16s would be great planes to have, but if they get added together with or after the above mentioned planes they will be DOA before even arriving.
Gaijin made the same mistake already with adding the F-15E&I/EFT/Rafale too soon, meaning that planes like the J-11B, F-2A and legacy hornet(s) were already meh at best. So I would prefer not repeating the same mistake.

Yeah I was hoping we would get them this Christmas. But if we aren’t getting the Super Hornet this patch I’m guessing we’ll get it either in December or in the 2nd Fall patch. Neither of which point towards a F-15EX + Su-35 + J-15/16 update anytime soon :/
However, I would be very very happy with a F-16C PoBIT or F-15C Late.

Hopefully we see the F-16C PoBIT at some point soon. Would love to have before it’s too late to shine.

P-26 made both DOA and I’ll day on this hill
only if I can night in the dale that the Swordfish negates all of them.
Yeah, they really can’t be peaking with the Eagles this early
my guess is the christmas update for both of them

The EX might make an appearance next Summer or the first Fall patch of 2026. Until then it would be nice to see the F-16C PoBIT, F-15C Late, and maybe even the F-15E RMP added beforehand.
Other planes like the JAS39E, J-10C, F-16V, MiG-35, etc. would also make great counterparts to those. This all makes me very happy to hear Gaijin is not planning on adding 5th Gen aircraft until the latter half of 2026 at the earliest.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how Gaijin handles better modeling for ESA radars, EW/ECM, more advanced HMDs, and better radar UI. Hopefully these things can be fleshed out quite well.

S-204 Lang preorder promised 3 20mm guns, 1 37mm gun, an 86mm rocket launcher, 533mm torpedoes, and depth charges. Went live with guns and torpedoes only. While the relatively recent addition of mines somewhat compensates for the missing drpth charges, the missing rocket is still a sore spot for me.
Priority should remain in levelling the field, especially for the nations without a powerhouse BVR platform like Su-30/F-15/EFT/RFL, so sweden should get the gripen E, and china it’s J-10C before anything else crazy is added.
Although I think EW is the next mechanic on the way, and one that will be pretty decisive
Gripen NG would be enough and frees up a better Gripen E for the future
what do you guys think we might see tomorrow
