Do you guys remember the leak from last tear that said there would be a Polish tree with a bunch of central and eastern European nations? It also said South Korea would be a US sub tree, but they announced recently that united korea will be it’s own tree.
I wonder if the leak was wrong, or plans changed? The miscellaneous european tree would be cool.
Could’ve been better, as when it was added it was insane. Rafale/MICA has been buffed a few times but Eurofighter was slightly worse than the F-15E/I in BVR but way better in everything else. Now that they’re diff BRs it makes more sense but Eurofighter could still go to 14.7 comfortably. But I do understand Germany’s case as they lacked CAS. Swiss Line would’ve fixed that problem if it came earlier
Leaks are never 100% accurate and plans do change.
So it might have been a proposal that was leaked and not actual plans or something.
The issue with that tree is Romania is already an Italian subtree so unless subtree policy changes it’s a no go.
That and you could probably make like 3 maybe 4 trees with those countries so it would seem very odd to cram it into one, especially when you only get 5 lines for each branch.
It said with high probability (so not confirmed)
NK → China
SK → US
Swiss → GER (came)
Polish TT w/ Eastern European Subtree
EU subtree (not Switzerland)
It was the same leak that said Singapore + Indonesia + ASEAN to China. But Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia went to Japan.
The CM’s have already said about Korea
The moment the F-15C MSIP II was added, it was a likely addition in the near future.
The moment the F-15E was added. it was innevetiable.
Typhoon had to come, as it was the only aircraft that Italy, Britain or Germany could get that realistically countered the F-15s.
I dont think the Typhoon in its currently nerfed state is that big of a deal, no worse than F-16s, Mig-29s, F-14s, Mig-23MLDs, etc etc were
The problem is the Rafale. They wont stop buffing it, even though it was always going to dominate thanks to having HOBS missiles on an able dogfighter
Can’t wait to see the next rounds of buffs for the rafale
yeah… its probably likely
Yeah I agree, but we’re talking about when they were added. Eurofighter was far superior to all other Aircraft and as the Rafale. When it was 13.7 (or 14.0?) it was doing slightly worse than the F-15E in BVR but better in every other stat. Now the Eurofighter is okay, should still go up to 14.7 or 15.0 with decompression. Rafale has been a problem consistently since it was added. It should always sit above the Eurofighter and never next to it (unless they nerf it back to its Service state).
Yeah, though im personally of the opinion that its the F-15Cs and Su-27s at 13.7 and F-15E/I at 14.0 causing the most problems at the moment, as they are pushing aircraft down. Sure they’ll need to increase the max BR, but both really need to be 1-2 BR stops higher than they currently. I hate fighting F-15Es in the FA2/F3 Late for example, I cant imagine something like the Gripen A
All of 13.0+ is compressed. We need HEAVY decompression.
Id say 12.0+ actaully, I think 12.0-13.0 is in way worse state than anything else, but to fix it would requiring sorting out 13.0+ too
but if I had to pick between 7.0-10.0 getting fixed or 12.0+ getting fixed. It would be a tough decision
I mean 13.0 is in a decent state considering it can’t face the 14.3s, but then that causes issues at 12.0. Decompress by .3 again, the few 13.3s will cause the same issues at 12.3-13.3.
Yes, anything but the eurofighter is the problem right?
Then lets move all the F-18s to 13.0 then. Wont see EFTs so clearly wont be an issue
If they get 9M then sure.
I know
All i’m saying is that “an earlier version without the AESA radar” isn’t just the radar, it’s a whole lot of other things that would have limited the Rafale a lot more
