F-2A has better radar than the JM. She also has CAS capabilities with ASM-2 and bombs
Worse than I thought wow
Viggen vs 4th gen moment incoming
even worse F-16C, they have same engine, but F-2 is larger, meaning lower max speed, and more energy bleeding, but better turn rate
Still no F-2… killing me smalls.
Strategic Bomber mode and Jet Strategic Bombers though- maybe we can make Air Assault good for high tiers then.
Though I would honestly recommend making some loadouts ineligible for the mode just so 12.0+ can’t insta kill the entire enemy teams.
It also has a worse FM for BVR purposes and is limited to 4 ARHs, which makes it a sidegrade at this point
Too little is know about Indonesian F-15IDN to be added, and it’s redundant when Japan can get the F-15JSI instead.
F-15SG is the best bet for Japan, JSOW, JDAM, maybe Harpoons
The Su-30SM is heavier than the Su-27SM and has more resistance. The only improvement is that the PESA has been replaced, so – yes, it may not be that good. But what can be done? Modern aviation in Russia is getting weaker and weaker. The Su-35 is even considered an obsolete product in China.

China is the way forward when it comes to Flankers, russia has proven themselves incapable of fielding a proper air force and should lift their restrictions on China selling their J-16/J-11 series since they are far more successful than the russian products and cheaper too

Also gives us fun things like Hawker Hunters.
But if we end up with 2 sub trees added before my glorious F-2 I will be annoyed.
Especially when we got that crappy F-16AJ when, if they were making a fictional plane, they could have done a fictional F-2 prototype.
a little heavier doesn’t matter so much for a huge plane. the biggest problem in SU-27SM is it’s radar, now it gets fixed in SU-30SM.

This would steal the vast majority of the flanker order – so it’s impossible. In China, even farmers can use AESA to help them with their work.

Yeah, isn’t it possible for civilians to buy small AESA radars for various purposes now in China?

The data of the Russian air show is that “the Su-30SM flies at a speed of 1370kph at low altitudes”, which means that it does not have a good speed at low altitudes (if gaijin did not add any magic). But it’s a huge boost for Russia.
OK. Is this my translation error? In China, anyone can buy a small AESA equipped on a drone.
it’s mainly AESA mmv radar on drones, or AESA antenna in control relay station
you may also find some Chinese 5G AESA antenna in the nearby Phone base station
it’s a little off-topic though

Now that we know that U.S is getting F/A-18E, I am finding the notion of us getting M1A2 SEPv3 less and less likely…
AAAAA

Hoping to get an Abrams with a hull equipped with DU armor, I was pushing the American TT, but I found it as if all the high-grade M1s were about the same.

it’s not a 1 in 2 choosing situation, but I guess this update is not a Ground focus update

Random but I am beginning to wonder if Gaijin purposefully leaks things to try and drum up excitement. Other companies have in the past- it’s an interesting model where it builds up anticipation and then boom video.
Mainly curious just due to the rumor round ups.
Normally, U.S getting five billion good planes is used as a justification for them not getting ground vehicles.
“Who cares if you don’t have tanks, you can just spawn lots of C*S, you don’t need more tanks!”, etc.
And, like you said… it’s sad that the last update to focus somewhat on Ground vehicles was December 2023’s one. Since then, only 1 MBT and 1 SAM for Top Tier…
