F 35 didn’t just carry bombs but RB75 or AGM65A, essentially it would be like the Swiss Hunter but with bombs added on but from what i know we used 9E with the early model that carried the AGM’s but i may be wrong. AIM-9N is a weird name as ive seen both 9P3 and 9E mentioned when talking about 9N.
Would be a lower BR AJ37 which honestly would be better, worse speed and flight performance but much better at its job as CAS. Internal gun, flares, chaff, can use missiles and bombs(more importantly though it can use its AGM’s and missiles at the same time) and actually useful bombs over the 250kg bombs the AJ37 has. Its arguably one of the most unique Drakens as its the only one that specializes so much in the CAS area. For A2A the J35ÖE would probably be a better pick but for CAS the Bomber Draken is definitely a weird role to fill.
Realistically we could have a 80s model and 90s model with Ferranti LRMTS and upgraded RWR and liquid crystal display. It would be the most advanced in terms of its cockpit if added.
Honestly yeah, you also learn different wrakspots seeing how people kill you. Its a pretty good way to learn, id love for more people to break away from one nation executivity but not everyone has time to play other nations so i do understand.
Which only have tertiary claims to the F-18, and already have an aircraft that fills it’s role, and is better at it fwiw.
It’s not butchered, it’s just not the one Swedish tree players wanted.
This is not the case with the F-35, which is much more comparable to the F-104, being basically standalone in every available tree and widespread enough to have literally been the title of an update.
America has three F-16s, three F-15s, and two F-14s, they didn’t NEED the F-18 either. What does Germany get? Oh yes, another generic Phantom with slightly less sucky missiles, a MiG 29 Gaijin is hellbent on making incorrectly, and the Eurofighter. So two good planes, a Tornado and a Phantom. Britain gets the Eurofighter and Grippen, but are then plagued with Tornadoes and Harriers. So again, two good planes and trash.
Also yes, the Swedish one is terrible. There was no reason to gut the Hornet like they did. “Buh muh histowical awcuwacy” no one cares. It is not historically accurate that the C variant came at the same time as the A, yet here we are. The Swedish Hornet should have came with GBUs, a HMD, and everything else. Want historical accuracy? Just don’t put the GBUs on.
I agree they ruined the finish one, but germany (swiss) and uk (canada or aussi) cant be counted since neither are official sub trees for those nations. However the F35 belongs to alot of the current nations / substations as actual copy paste. F35 is essentially the F16, but with actual copy paste everything
Careful, your obvious US hate cuz you aint boner is showing. I didn’t even mention them.
Arguably the best jet in the game depending on how you look at it? EF-2000
So arguably 2 of the best jets in the game?
The F-18 doesn’t do anything better for them, and neither Germany nor Britain used it, so suprise surprise they didn’t get one in its release update.
Sure there is. You just don’t agree with it.
In fact lots of people care. You can argue it should have been MLU 1 and I would agree, but it’s not the jet they modeled and they have basically flat out said it won’t change into it. So why are you crying about it?
Thinking it was going to be an MLU 2 is pure cope, even before the update release.
Its annoying, because by the time the finish get their HMD F/A-18C, USA will be running with the F/A-18E and F super hornets.
The harriers are in-accurate ingame, with the wrong IR signature being the main problem at the moment. and the phantoms in the UK are just worse then the US ones… ofc at the same BR. Germany is doing pretty good right now, their phantom is actually better to play at 13.0 with aim120 and aim9L/i then the FGR.2 with skyflash and aim9G.
EuroMogger having its radar be extremely gimped is painful and makes it extremely hard to play. i just stick to guns only dogfights in custom battles because airRB needs to be re-worked beyond like 12.7+
As we have already mentioned, this is a later MLU variant, not the version added to the game (which is historically accurate for the variant that it is).
As we also mentioned, the MLU with all those upgrades is planned to come.
In the sense that the Rafale is probably the best 1v1 with missiles jet, sure I would agree it’s the best. It’s kit mixed with its flight performance is pretty peak.
1v1 guns is probably the EF-2000, but it also has some slight advantages against the Rafale in EC just due to its speed and range of AIM-120s which makes it better for completing objectives.
Best EC jet by far IMO is the Su-30SM. What it lacks in overall flight performance is made up by the best kit for winning the match. It has by far the easiest time cleaning up objectives while also getting into the air quake with plenty of missiles left. In 1v1 with missiles I would also argue it is slightly stronger than the EF-2000 if played correctly.
All 3 are more than competitive in every category though, and that’s why I said arguably
