Is there any other option for an early war jet bomber other than the indo beagle?
Edit: oh there it is :D

Idk, I prefer the Thai Modernised FV101-76s, fancy modern thermals, LRF, & a FCS. Keeps the manual traverse and elevation though lmao

Yea the only trouble Japan has right now is dealing with helicopters as optical isn’t as foolproof if the pilot knows to stay low, or in some maps unusable like with mountains (and of course especially at night).

Bombers are very sparse in general, most aircraft generally being more attack aircraft than bombers. The only bomber we didn’t include was the Indonesian base model Il-28, but the Il-28T seemed like a more interesting variation so we picked that instead.

Though this is arguably a line Japan can contribute to a bit again by maritime patrol aircraft like the P-2J, P-3C and P-1.
Post Rank V the organization of the tree is basically:

JP import fighter | JP domestic fighter | ASEAN fighter | ASEAN attack | bomber/maritime patrol

these need experience.
I can both play it with or without climb, attack from above is a good way to make enemy unawared, but the key is you need to guess if they are watching their ass, and this need a lot experience

Afaik Tranche 1 later received A2G capabilities (integrated after block 5).
At least from Italian suggestion.

Yeah from reading it seems that Blk 5 introduced air-to-ground and PIRATE, but air-to-ground was still limited until Tranche 2.

Well, well, well…looks like I found Gaijins SeKret Documents on the Su-33 XD The big question is how they got it flipped over like that on the show room floor???🤔


i like how people keep complaining about this plane. bro it looks cool, so what? /s

The initial leak list showed Su-33 as the only addition for Russian Air. But I think that there are others planned that have not been revealed yet.

Your justification to not complain about it, is…it looks cool??? Hahahahahaha 🤣 new Shane Gillis over here.

The Patriot was only in there for cinematics, maybe an addition as an AI vehicle only. Highly unlikely we will ever be able to play as a stationary SAM site.

My favourite thing to do, especially with PL-5Bs, is get within .5k behind someone and stress them out as they wait for a missile shot.

As soon as there is a clear lock, I send a missile straight up their exhaust that’s going too fast to even worry about going for their flares.

If you learn how to fly it, the J-7D is fun in it’s own way. J-7E is way better admittedly.

Lol. Western flanker model kits are notoriously trash. So, of course they’d use it for reference, lmao.

Damn well better be. Su-33 is not sufficient.

If America gets nothing Russia gets nothing thats how it should be

Its not like either nations need anything anyway

in this range, PL-7 maybe better, too close that the seeker won’t see the flares.
one of my way of judeging if some one is a rookie, is by whether he choose PL-5B or PL-7.
If pl-7 it means he rely on extrem close range shoot to get ensured kill

If I’m gonna guess:

US: F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or F-18E
RU: Su-30SM? or Su-30SM2?
JP: F-2
SWE: Gripen E?

Yea but I think it would be silly not to get anything on the biggest update of the year.

It’s not impossible, Japan didn’t get anything for Apex Predators besides 9L on the EJ Kai, but every nation has an option now with 4.5 gens.

Gaijin will probably add Gripen NG, which is just a C but with the radar and other avionics from the E. Gotta make the TT last a bit longer othwrwise how are you gonna sell premiums?

Or they could finally learn that the MS20 only exist for 2 nations in game and leave the only non MS20 gripen as a MS19 like it is in real life
