Eurofighter and Rafale users got an early variant of their plane when it was adecuate; both good enough of a counterpart to the latest Russian and American additions, but timed well enough for them not to come too early;
Before that, they got equivalent aircraft via subtree additions in order not to fall behind despite their lack of local options.
What are suggesting should have been done instead?
You think earlier Eurofighter and Rafale variants should have been added sooner? You think Top Tier Air RB would have been a better place if we had had slightly worse Eurofighters and Rafales zooming around Top Tier against F-16Cs and MiG-29 SMTs?
I’m more amazed that someone created such a concept and actually thinks that the concept is good for a game that would have to compete against Battlefield
I mean, they aren’t happy with their Eurofighters CAS capabilities anyways, so giving them a T1 Block 5 probably would have produced the same outcome lol
I am speaking in terms of gameplay-wise addition. They are clearly meant to be transitional planes to the future IRIS-T / Meteor slingers that will come alongside 5th gen fighters, hence the artificially limited loadouts, etc.
You seem to think it would have been great to see this come before the ones we already got. So I wonder, what exactly makes these variants so much worse that they would have been perfectly balanced against F-16Cs and MiG-29SMTs?
And in any case, I don’t even get what all this rambling is about. That “Gaijin did not do (X) in the past”? So what? We are well past that already. We got Rafales, we got Eurofighters, what’s all of this even about anymore!?
Not to the game. Because it’s way, way too early for them.
Gaijin will probably add newer tranche and Rafale variants in a higher BR with these new munitions in the future along with Russian and American counterparts.
