Hold F for around 20 seconds should clear the jam magically and probably fixes the broken barrel if any.
Eh the real issue actually seems to be that the main spring is too stiff and needs to be shortened.
Real life doctrine doesn’t matter in any WT mode, nor should it, that’d be a design/balance nightmare. WT is simply a sandbox for vehicles to duke it out based solely on their technical performance, and really that’s why it works as a game.
Personally I enjoy Naval RB (it’s basically become my main mode), but have no interest in EC (I have tried it).
Doctrine shapes design, and war thunder’s game mode will favour one kind of doctrine
If it’s too slow to get up off the deck because everything else goes Mach Jesus, yes; it absolutely is DOA. Unless it gets into a map with an air spawn; its going to spend all its time two hairs above the trees like everything non-EFT or F-15E has to. What is going to make it lethal is having a better kit than what it faces.
With design being a technical trait, and technical traits are balanced by BR.

I think it’s slowness is being exaggerated, it may struggle to pass Mach on the deck but a large part of that is aerodynamics not thrust, while it does have a worse T/W than other similar aircraft, the difference isn’t huge, the main reason for its speed limit is to do with its lift surfaces being optimized for low speed lift, so it can land on a carrier, basically it’s got high drag which is a bigger factor at higher speed, it isn’t going to be going Mach 2 at 10km but that isn’t the only viable playstyle, and its high missile load is going to be a huge benefit
If it bothers you, sure.

10 amraams wont make it necessary slow,comparing to if you would take an air to ground armamnet ,it would still be highly competitive and would pose a threat seriously to eurocanards
Yeah, the primary issue with adding that many AMRAAMs would be drag, which again the F/A-18 isn’t winning any competitions anyways, it’ll sill likely get to 0.9 mach cruising and just about break it with burners, which isn’t amazing but it’s enough, and it has the advantage of being able to waste missiles

Nothing to worry,
can always have its angier brother later
I pray, but late March because of the season my job will be in.
It is just AL31F, even if it is WS10A, it is still more or less 11 tonnes of thrust.
radar should be more or less similar to F15s and CMs stay at 96.

Does determine weather it has more than 1 data link, (aka whether u can use PL12s as ARH) , I mean I wouldn’t even say N001 was too bad, but couple it with R77 is bad, let’s see how a better AA missile does for it.
I was referring to a single hand made example with an overly strong mainspring lol
I think it’s about 10-20kn of thrust, with afterburner, per engine, between the AF-31F and WS-10A which would make a pretty big difference especially as the Russian SU-27SM has the AL-31F-M1 it would be a bit annoying to get the AL-31F.
It is more so the missile that could keep it at 13.7, if they give it the regular PL-8 then even with the better PL-12 it’s not really 14.0 material, they need to give it the PL-8B. And even if it can carry them, I don’t want to see any Russian missiles on it
Aye, I’d like its Jordanian/Ukrainian cousin too
Spoiler
And maybe the fronch tech demonstration one
And maaaaybe the SPAAG version too
Or the MLRS version
The Thai or Emeriti upgrades would be fun too.
I really like the CVRTs okay

Updated that suggestion to add the Armour drop down menu. Said I’d update when I could.
@Smin1080p_WT Is there any chance developers can release statistics on the performance of fox 3 missiles?
