Okay, let me be the devil’s advocate for a bit.
You talk about “facing 2003 aircraft” like it is a new thing, when truth is, we already do and have done since September last year.
The F-16C we have in game is a block 50 CCIP, which added features like HMD. The CCIP upgrade was done in 2003.
Of course neither the F-16 or Su-27 are new designs from 2003, they are merely upgrades on an older airframe. It’s not as big of a deal as you make it out to be.
boom ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ at least someone got eyes lol
IIRC The MLU had to get an updated MMC to use AMRAAM
The Q-5L was a 2005 aircraft. At the time it was introduced, there are barely any planes in the game that surpasses 1980s.
Edit: By La Royale China have occupied 4 out of the top 5 latest aircrafts in war thunder. The order are: Q-5L(05), F-16A MLU(03), J-8F(03), JA37D(98), J-8B(88)
We already have pesa radar in the game dont we? The pantsir of course uses it already
Interesting fact: the J-8F was produced in 2005. It should have used the PL-8B instead of the shitty PL-8
Well, that’s a good point. I didn’t know that!
Case in point is, the introduction year isn’t the most important criteria to judge a vehicle by. It is the capabilities and features that matter.
But the plane is still in PD
I don’t mind zero Air-to-Ground armament and gajin remove Thales Damocles targeting pod from Mirage 2000-5F in next major update
I might hope Mirage 2000D-R2 after Mirage 2000D-R1 someday
Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2 equipped targeting pod with thermal 2nd gen or gen 2+ ? and armed PGM ?
Gajin might considered AIDC F-CK-1A before Mirage 2000-5EI ?
Ah is it? I’ll admit flankers aren’t exactly my area of expertise and I thought it was something like that, PESA or AESA leaning towards AESA since China quite likes those. But now I know it’s PESA thank you!
Would it be a revolution pack one we wouldnt have complained, problem was specialy because its the 2a4m can from kmw
Now F-16A Block 20 MLU lack LANTIRN (AN/AAQ-14 Sharpshooter & AN/AAQ-20 Pathfinder Navigation) and another PGM (Paveway II LGB GBU-10 & GBU-12) ?
It seems that gaijin nerf the SU27sm’s loadout. it should has 6 kh29 right?
Where is radar for ground targets
Where is auto flares/chaff (AN/ALE-47)
Where is AGM154
So f16 is not the case because its performance is lowered and many features arent implemented
And even without mentioning that is just aim9m + HMD c&p with broken thermal pod for already half of year
The SM3 has 6, the SM has 4.
I assume IR AAM PL-8 (stock) & PL-8B on J-11B
In my opinion, gajin not ready 4.5 gen fighter aircraft with AESA radar in 3 or 4 years
But for the Russian AESA problem, Gaijin may weaken AESA. After all, except for the Su-57, other Russian aircraft do not have
Yea, we even have 1 AESA radar in game.
I hope Gaijin remembers to add a new Kfir with Fox 3 and better missiles…
