T-90 Early? No way. T-90M Early? That would work. T-90A at 10.7 is not a Rank VIII. A T-90 Early, if it isn’t the M “Early” is going to be the same tank as the T-90A but with a cast turret, and probably not even thermals.
T-90M has different proposed packages throughout the years leading up to it, in a model year(s) before the T-90M we have in game, we’d have what? Almost the same tank, maybe no CITV and no Relikt backpacks, just the base Relikt skirts and the older T80U style turret layout, not the more comprehensive layout?
And Merkava Mk 5 now? What is there to change? Just lineup filler?
Can’t wait for the 2A5DK, the germans are gonna be so happy about it

Same with my entire squad we’re all waiting
While AN/APG-68 was bought for mounting on an XF-2 airframe it is most likely it was never actually fitted, and the first radars fitted to all four prototypes were already J/APG-1s.
It’d be nice to see one with APG-68, but I’m not sure if it’s historical.
On a side note, I believe the first XF-2 airframe fitted with radar was 63-8102, an XF-2B twin seat aircraft, so flight performance would also be less than the A model airframes.
Considering the A model is estimated somewhere between the F-16A and Gripen in maneuverability the B model might be similar to an F-16C.

Just to add to the AESA talks (not that I have anything new to add), I do think people overestimate its impact. I mean we have current stuff in the game that’s still constantly being reworked and changed. I’d bet good money AESA will not be introduced in its final form and will be further tweaked over time.
I think it’s within the realm of possibility that it could be considered historical as it’s not complete fabrication. Plus, there’s already the precedent with franken combinations of technologies anyway.
Though even with J/APG-1 prototype, there’s the convenient possibility that it could be modeled in a nerfed state.
I’m starting to suspect the F-2 airframe would be Gripen levels at the very least due to their FBW wizardry on the leading edge flaps (ME) and higher wing loading with better T/W. I’d think the Gripen would be better in a sustained turn fight but nobody does that in RB with mouse aim, instead opting to full pull as much as the instructor allows. In that regard both the Gripen and F-2 have +12g limit so they should pull similar AoA, I’d imagine.
I will say all these “leaks” putting F-2 in there give me hope as it also would be a full year after AJ and then there’s this:
Spoiler
So I have my fingers crossed. However, I’m also not holding my breath as anything could change and even if those leaks are correct, it doesn’t mean it has to be this next update either. We know the F-2 is coming after all. We just don’t know when. Though I do agree fully that the best time for XF-2A and F-2 early is before ARH as they’re limited to just SARH missiles and we already have the AAM-3.

Yeah i mean early F-2 with just sparrows…its questionable how competitive it will be with fox 3 slingers flying around…my only other guess is that they will go a slightly non historical route and give early F-2s fox 3s…but idk

Yak-41 set the precedent, there’s no reason we shouldn’t get an XF-2 with APG-68 if it was bought and intended to be mounted, whether or not it ever was.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the sweden having better Leopard being annoying.
I just hate the 3 years argument and people somehow framing it in a way that this was exclusive to Germany.
Going back to the Abrams examples. There was a 3 years wait for a marginally better M1A2, in the form of the SEPv1 and then another 1 year for a downgraded version of said tank.
Anyone know why the profile picture was changed?
old one was so cool :(
