For all the Members who are bored, i leave a fun minigame here to see how good you remember all of the 1000+ vehicles.
Its super fun when you play with some friends and you try to figure out the wanted vehicle :D
Unless the F/A-18 is coming with early gen 9Xs and 120Cs, the thing is going to be DOA. It made so much more sense to bring it within the last two updates, especially since it offered no real threat to the EFT and Rafale. It would’ve been no different than the Su-33 that got added beyond being a more popular name/air frame. But Gaijin, in a testiment to their wack implementation strategy, decided to skip it. I think I’m most excited for the Panstir to continue to exist without any nations getting an equal or it getting a nerf. Two years is a milestone.
Everyone and their dog said it was going to perform worse than the EFT, Rafale, and F-15E. So it wouldn’t have been a top tier contender. By that logic, the Su-33 didnt really need to come this past update.
And to be clear, the Su-33 is absolutely a top tier. If it can face 14.0 airframes because of the uptiering mechanic of the game, it absolutely is a top tier. It just happened to be another means for Gaijin to allow players to fillout a top tier line up. Something nobody else really gets to do.
Gaijin cant add 8 new jets every patch, and yes a F/A-18C with 10 120s would have been a top tier contender, slightly slower than the F-15E about the level of the 15C MSIP II
While Germany cut about in an F-4…Dont worry thats Europe done now, the next foreseeable updates will be Russian and USA (with maybe a Gripen E and F-2 in between)
Again, unless it comes with early 9Xs and 120Cs, its going to be DOA. There was nothing stopping them for adding it last patch, or three updates ago if we are being real about its performance, beyond bad implementation. Which we know to be a staple of the studio.
I do agree that the EU is effectively done besides maybe another ETF variant and whatever US hardware they get from sub trees. And Smin did say no nation is getting an F/A-18 before the US.
Sorry but that’s crap, a Hornet with 10 120s (maybe they add C it’s not going to get the X and to be honest US mains don’t want the X) and a great Radar is going to be a threat. Is it as good as a Typhoon no but that doesn’t make it bad. I killed Mig 29s and F-15s in a Tornado
They cannot add every vehicle every update. Gaijin decided to delay the F/A-18 and added the Euro Canards
Since the subtree is more attack oriented, I wish they put all the Thai aircraft there instead of mixing them in the interceptor and indigenous lines, as if they didn’t care (surely they do). Freeing the interceptor line up for a more fighter oriented “sub” like an Indo-Malay line, and keeping the indigenous fighter line the way it is.
Instead of, y’know, haphazardly splaying them across the tree in a manner that suggests they don’t care about the game or the tech tree, which they surely do. (ha ha, nope, couldn’t type that last part without chuckling)
