It 's been added to the Custom Battles map selection now, though it doesn’t seem to be in regular rotation still.

it’s finished and should be in early production stage.

not really. J-35 is the successor of FC-31, but every detail changed, basically two planes

no but seems close enough

Nice bonus is that grinding multiple trees also generally makes you get better at the game.

Most single nation mains are just one trick ponies that aren’t even good at their one single trick.

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.

No? Every nation that operates the F35 should get it. Italy, japan, israel, finland. Can just leave them out of gettng jets the operate

They did it with the F-18. America got three, and then they butchered the Swedish one, and ignored Britain and Germany.

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+

rafale

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.

Yesn’t.

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

Its not accurate. It shouldnt have IFF on radar either then. Yet it does. It also have wrong cockpit if late F/A-18,as always Gaijin made Frankenstein like many other tanks and planes before. If only we would get exact versions modelled instead of the early/late crap Gaijin uses to justify the inaccuracies.
