These are much closer comparisons than the Tornado IDS vs ADV, which was a very poor example.
All of these aircraft have differing missile loadouts between their variants. So its not clear what your point is here.
Do you think you can pass a question on to the devs for me why keep the kv2 Zis 6 reload at 17sec while it’s 107mm is single part and it has 2 loaders and they are reducing the reload of the base 2 part loading 152mm
Python 3s are only good for last minute head ons or ambush, it will gladly go not even for the flares of the plane you are firing at, but even to the flares of the one beyond that.
Many things have been changed or were different from teaser trailers.
Its never been the case that a teaser trailer = locked in and final content. So its not clear what the point is here
My point is that every later version of every fighter jet ,is an upgrade / Life extension program for the < insert plane >"
Why would any of the F-14s have to move up lol?
All of the F-14s have worse heat seekers than their peers at this tier, and the F/A-18A gets up to 6 9Ls a step below the 14A.

was it tho?
The ICE program was meant to bridge a Capability Gap in the GAFs inventory due to the delay of the Eurofighter program. the Brits did the same thing but with their Tornados…
the baseline F-4Fs (only a hand full recieved the full ICE upgrades, most never got the PD radar and AMRAAM support) were Multirole/CAS aircrafts till the day that they were Retired
to please some ppl in this very forum… i rather have a compromise than nothing at all.
Thats not the case at all.
A new variant is not always an upgrade of an existing airframe. Much like F-4F, which was a package installed on existing airframes.
This also again has no real meaning here at all. So its still not clear what your point is. We have a later version of the F-4F in the ICE.
Very much so. The Tornado ADV is a very different airframe to a Tornado GR.1 (IDS).
lets ignore that the ADV had 80% parts commonality with the Tornado IDS here, right?
Would you happen to know if we should expect other vehicles to get their Falcon missiles now that we are seeing gaijin finally add them?
correct, the F-4F is still missing its correct loudout. And please dont say “well yea but the ICE has them”
Still, 2 different planes
well… phantoms used them, but we cant possibly add new weapons to them… right smin?
New stock missile for the F-15
Also the Drakens but who cares about them. Its why i simplified it to vehicles.
i mean, if its the same plane, why did we have to reseach it twice? and not just add the ICE as a mod for the existing F-4F…
Novody said anything about ignoring that.
Its just not accurate at all to say the F-4F to F-4F ICE is the same as what the Tornado IDS is to the ADV.
One was a modernisation and life extension upgrade, the other was a different variant entirely for an entirely different role and purpose.
Regardless, your original question to the devs was answered. So thats quite enough entirety off topic derailment please.
On the note of missing armaments, R-73 and 77 to the Yak-141 when?
Also now that 14.3 air is coming does that mean all nations without a 14.3 are going to get something on PAR or should we expect the nations with 14.3’s to get new vehicles before the aforementioned lacking nations?
