i meant in terms of prototypes or trials on the IPA7

Awww come on who doesn’t love a bit of multination’s lineups

We currently don’t have any of the IP series of aircraft in game. Though if at some point in the future we did and it can be shown IPA7 had Mk 0, then that would be open to consideration. But right now there are no plans. The current AESAs are representative of each nations selected radar choice and future variants.

Just picturing it now Qatar squady with a Kuwaiti premium hmmmmmmmmmm

Whats with german mains still be unhappy about their radar lol?
For a gimbal limit? When they have aesa and 90°± vertical n horizontal which is pretty good all things aside considering J10,F-15C Ge, Superhornet, rafale, su34 all of which esa do not have above 70°± extreme gimbal limits.

Air Alert is the pc equivalent of the console target lock mechanic. Its not really supposed to be used that way but man is it handy for ruining a CAS players day.

I dont think bringing 34 is fair in this case, when 30SM2 exists with ±120

i dont think any german was asking for a fictional typhoon with mk2

Technically there was a proposal with the same name, the one in game just has a few issues like:

  • Missing air to air armament (2x AIM-7 on additional weapon stations) to the point where it couldn’t match the minimum requirement of the competition it was entered
  • Missing air to ground armament despite it not being missing on the other Block 10 derivatives in game
  • Has the wrong engine, which didn’t exist until a decade after the proposal
  • Various smaller visual issues at the tail, nose and landing rear. The most significant issue here being that it lacks the two-piece rear landing rear doors with missile pylons on them.

The actual F-16J (AJ/BJ) was never built, only based on a previous unrelated prototype that isn’t enough for it to even count as unfinished prototype, so it’s weird to have it in game at all. But it’s even weirder to me that the one we have is so wrong it might as well be an entirely made up plane.

What are the odds of getting something that is neither top tier, premium, or copypaste next update?

No, you will get Indian Su-30MKI with MICAs and you’ll be happy with it!

The heat death of the universe is more likely to come at this point.

I mean trust was valid untill last update.
The SU-30MKK does not have wingtip pylons compatible with the PL-8B since it has the same style wingtip as the J-11D/15T/16 yet it got the wingtip pylons due to gaijin just physically changing the model if you equip them

True, at the end of the day they do whatever they want and they don’t care if it’s realistic. The realism requirement is just advertisement
