Not sure how they’d do Rank 9
Like, which planes would end up in Rank 9?
You’d have to turn stuff like the F/A-18C, Gripen C and F-2A (or F-15J) into Rank 9, otherwise Japan and Sweden would have to get a Gripen E to have something at Rank 9 lol
The F-15E and F-15I Ra’am would also have to be Rank 9, so Israel can have a Rank 9 plane
Guess we’ll have to see where the cut-off would be, but they might also just re-arrange the Chinese tree a bit instead
That’s the main question)
Probably just Spikes, but I could also see them giving it an optional modification to let people choose between the 9M133, ZT3A2 or Spike
Do any really need moving up?
Just have rank 9 start with the new stuff coming in. AESA Typhoons and J-10C, etc etc.
Probably defined by aircraft getting Gen 5 IRs in the future
I can’t remember if they ever introduced a new rank while some nations don’t have anything to go into that rank
Hey @Smin1080p_WT Could I maybe ask if there is a fix getting close as this issue appears since an year on console?

Specially since it Harms Gaijin earnings because, why should we buy skins if they look just awfully because of a Bug on Console…
I mean it will surely make the vehicle a bit more interesting, chances are low though.
If they re-organise some of the TT’s they could keep rank 9 for 5th gens.
For the US move the F/A-18A down to rank 7 to make room for the F/A-18E when that comes. There’s still room in rank 8 for the F-16C PoBIT and the F-15EX in their lines already.
For China they could move the J-10A out of the Taiwan line and into another line, then the J-10C can follow on.
For Sweden they could move the D Viggen folder down into rank 7 and to make room for the Gripen E.
Germany, Russia, Britain, Japan, Italy, France and Israel are fine.
That way rank 9 will come to all nations at the same time along with 5th gen vehicles which we already know will come all together.
Or just up the number of vehicles per rank limit since at some point it’s going to be impossible to fit some additions into some ranks.
When spawning Ajax, your engine sound setting is automatically set to max, while enemy engine sounds are set to minimum.
+the vehicle is Shaking like crazy and harming its own Crew
Let’s say that if we really want a vehicle it would be the Centauro 2 but a new Freccia is not bad and then it will reach a maximum of 11.0 since it has similarities with the German Puma
F3R was one of the Rafales given the missile capacity improvement according to photographs. Could the photographs be wrong? Maybe, but Dassault has been stingy on photographs with Mirage 2000 so that begs questions.
There’s an alleged improvement to 10 missiles. “One of the F4s improves it to 10.” [Not my take. I suspect this might be incorrect.]
And your post about EF being in service for awhile is in-line with DirectSupport’s post.
Edit added photographs explanation.

For high tiers yeah, though overall I have a very long wishlist of Italian additions mostly already covered in suggestions section. I would also love to see ingenious designs from Hungary and Romania, because their current representation is kinda meh and sad honestly.
Anyway I love Freccia and additional one is a welcomed addition, I don’t even care about br much)
I wonder if the new EF will still have sad 9Ms and nerfed 120s…
Or if it will at last be able to get a MICA/R-77-1/Magic 2/R73 counterpart with up-to-date weaponry.
It would be sad to have a 2025 plane with 2001 armament, although it’s already kinda the case for F-15C GE, so eh.
It will be very disappointing for sure, I don’t think Gaijin has many options that don’t outright break the game’s balance.
What exactly would you propose that isn’t the AIM-9X, IRIS-T, ASRAAM or AIM-120D
if for this reason Hungary has little to offer while Romania has all the tanks they have there would be a lot to nerd and have fun with if then in the future Romania will receive the M1A2 sep V3
Either Meteor or IRIS-T would be fine. Both could be a bit too much right now.
Of course, at a much higher BR.
Also, yeah, AIM-9X wouldn’t be out of place either for the very top Sidewinder users.
Thing is, it is embarrasing that we have R-73, Magic 2, and others on the same level… but Sidewinder users are still limited to sad AIM-9M.
Missiles that will pull 270º turns to hunt you down vs a missile that can’t keep up with a slightly inconvenient turn.
Same goes for the AMRAAMs. MICA and R-77-1 will go to down into hell itself to hit you, while 120s simply can’t keep up with gentle turns, and forget about using them within 3km.
