We don’t need this kind of comment this early

Unless the AAM-3 and -4 are brought up to their real life performance, it’ll essentially be an F-16C with an AESA radar and maybe even without a HMD.

Yeah that’s the point, we don’t know what they will do, so for everyone’s sanity I think it’s best we wait lol

I think the issue isn’t that we know it’s bad, but that being anywhere near equal to other top tiers requires very lenient view of theoretical loadouts and planned HMD, complicated new mechanics for the flight model and new weaponry types for the ASMs.
It can be really good, but it requires a lot of trust in Gaijin to believe.

That would be so cool.

What is that discord server that people use to predict stuff and why does it have the info? I wanna join

It’s not that difficult to predict which upcoming aircraft will be good and which one will be mid or even fodder.

Just look at the last 3 updates, all were incredibly predictable in terms aircraft performance.

And no CAS but thats less of a topic with gripens as an option

Hi guys, I made a bug report about the ATGM and AGM (all TV and IR guided) missile logic likely being unintentionally broken after the AS.34 targeting rework. If anyone is interested, please look into this issue as well. All the details are in my report. Thank you Community Bug Reporting System

“Cosmonautics Day in the USSR in 1961, and in 2011 the UN called for this date to be celebrated as International Day of Human Space flight.”

UN mentioned UN tree when ? lol

TBF KFOR has leopard 2s, UNIFIL has leclercs and centauros, not too shabby, with stuff like KTO rosomak, BTR-82A and ZSL92s at side

When Star Trek is added probably

KFOR mentioned?

Bc it gets 4 alright ARH and 4 good IR missiles, good AESA radar, solid FM (still generally worse than Typhoon and Rafale, and slower than an F-15), no HMD, barely any CAS weaponry.

The only thing going for its radar really, armament is mediocre, speed isn’t good enough, manueverability is solid but still not the best, combined with no HMD and slightly better 9M, it’s not going to be very good at dogfighting. It will also suck as CAS with LJDAM and a TGP.

So if it’s 14.0 (and looking at hornet, it will be), it will not be very good

It’s a Japanese plane so there’s precedent for special treatment on that front. But with how R2Y2 went, maybe Gaijin is starting to be more fair in additions

That’s mainly why I said that as gaijin like to give Japan special treatment so god know what they will give it and how many sub variants

Assuming it will be added in the most real configuration, it will not be great, but if they start adding proposed upgrades then it would be pretty competitive

They probably go down the road of adding proposed variants for different roles

What do you mean? Like a strike version or something?
