Are there any plans to decompress top tier air BRs to 15.0+? Top tier definitely feels very compressed at the moment, especially with the premium Su-30MKs being forced down into 13.3, which also affects 13.0-12.3, and so on and so forth. It would be nice to see some differentiation between certain high tier vehicles as well. For example, the F-15C GE shouldn’t have the same BR as the F-16CM PoBIT, but due to compression they’re the same BR, and neither really deserves to go down.
A recent devblog discussed the improvement of guidance logic and thrust behaviors for the AIM-54 and ARMs. I’m curious if there are any plans to implement either or both of these for modern Fox-3s.
Can we expect an update to the Thales Scorpion HMD symbology anytime soon? Considering a variety of F-16s got it this update, an updated symbology would be very nice.
This would be something announced in a planned BR changes newspost or with the expansion of top tier via newer aircraft.
As we mentioned within the blog itself:
" we plan to add this mechanic to all other missile systems"
No current ETA. HMDs and MFDs are two examples of things receiving constant updates and improvements. Sadly its not possible to say when on spesific items.
im gonna be honest I doubt they will be that much stronger then the current top dogs, again they have to sacrifice a lot of missiles to maintain stealth and stealthy itself isnt really a thing warthunder.
to be completely honest I think things like the F22 are over hyped, don’t get me wrong I think its a good plane but I dont think it will be as strong as everyone thinks it is.
BVVD stated that they would be adding a higher tier nuke plane for 12.7 to match the capabilities of top tier SAMs so you arent using things like F-111s or Tornados vs Pantsir SM-SVs, it is also meant as a nuke plane in nuclear escalation
meh yes and no. the imfamous rafale kill on the F-22 with fuel tanks was slightly held back. overall i so still think that a eurocanard in WT will curbstomp raptors in the dogfight. not to mention that the F-22 will have worse missiles than the eurocanards. 9X will be close to the likes of ASRAAM but an amraam isnt going to cut it vs meteors and such
i agree that the F-35 wont be a dogfighter, tbh its not much of an anything beyond a reduced viability imho, but i am a hater of the lightning 2
not really, 9X and ASRAAM fill different roles, 9X is basically a worse IRIST while the ASRAAM is meant as a long range IR missiles, its meant to be fired at 30+ km away from the target and close the distance fast so even in that situation the F22 is kinda screwed
honestly thats the issue with the US right now there isnt much better they can get in terms of A2A weapons, their new gen of BVR missiles is still in the testing phase so shouldn’t be added as other weapons have also been denied on such grounds, and the 9X is defiantly the worst of the gen5s IIR missiles
No, they started side by side although I guess one could argue that’s being “held back” just because the Rafale as a delta could have made a sharper initial turn-in.
