I think gajin never add pre-order pack premium aircraft rank 8 before introduced rank 9 for aviation toptier
Sea Harrier FRS.51 early could be 2nd premium pre-order pack in rank 7 after F-4J Phantom F.3
I guess after F-4M Phantom FGR.2 (RAF) might be Indian fighter aircraft 12.3 and another fighter aircraft 12.7 & 13.0 BR at first line after JAS39C maybe fighter aircraft with active radar homing BVRAAM from Indian & SAAF before Eurofighter Typhoon FA.2
If Sea Harrier FRS51 came without Derby ARH missiles. Then yeah, it could be a half decent 11.3 ish Premium. But Id doubt for the TT. Just wouldnt be any point. It would be a worse version of the Gr7 for A2A
I don’t know why this keeps being repeated, but AFAIK, the first leaker (orange guy as I call him) claimed the Chinese leaker made a mistake. That’s it. No other proof.
So you either believe the first guy, or trust the Chinese leaker (with good track record so far), who is known for making corrections to mistakes…
Granted, I’m very biased towards to XF-2A and F-2 early right now, but this being RR&D, I’m not going to rule it out without some confirmation from the source (or it missing from dev stream/server, whichever is first).
Further reading into the russian forum, you are likely correct. IR jammers weren’t mounted, only the sensors for detecting incoming missiles (that, however, are part of the Vitebsk-25 system).
That’s what I unfortunately suspected. Theirs this video posted claiming to be a SM3, and it seems to ‘evade’ several Manpands without even doing anything crazy, which makes me wounder if it does indeed somehow have DRICM, but we can’t even get a good look at the cockpit to even confirm if it’s an SM3 https://www.reddit.com/r/WarplanePorn/s/u55tjfW7l2
Maybe, but the planes hardly changing course and it’s a perfect rear aspect shit for the missiles, so I find it hard to believe that it dodged all of them
