f2a at minimum. possibly hornets for other trees, likely the super hornet soon as well considering its a sidegrade more than anything. My hopium is for mig29m or m2.

Is more of a focus on ground too much to ask for?

BvvD talked about a mig-25 event although thats not neccessarily the next top tier
SU-35 or something I’d imagine, not much left without backfilling the tree like with the F-18s

Oh right I forgot about that. This could be interesting, long overdue too lol
Also…
Am I smelling some 5th Gens near??
Hope not lmao
Other nations, like China for example, have barely gotten into their 4 & 4.5 gens.
+ 5th gen would just be the 4000 F-35s of Nato beaning everything within range.
Not even getting into how some nations just don’t have 5th gens (France for example).

Ah yes, my favourite, 12 F-35s vs 11 F-35s and a Su-57

Oh yeah, it would just be F-35 vs F-35 in all matches xD - Danger Zone update flashbacks
But I want my F-22 haha, plus an early version alongside EF T4 and Rafale F4 or F5 wouldn’t be that bad.
I guess only early 5th Gen is gonna be fun…
Whatever gets added in the coming year to expand top tier, I’m sure it won’t fit into the game’s old engine and won’t work as anticipated…
Seems like a major engine update is in order. But I doubt considering they JUST added Raytracing
Don’t forget a spattering of J-20, J-35, & maybe others like that Turkish one or the Korean 4.75 gen one.
