He said fill, not have. One aircraft (with none other in the prospective future yet) is not enough for a new rank to be reasonable.

Fair. But whats the point of adding the YF23 if it cant carry anyting, even its gun?
It could be added with weapons

It did have plans for weapons so so long as there’s clear plans for what it would have had I say it should be added in the future.
So… because India made it themselves, it’s unique. Sure, but what would come with it that isn’t already done (or will be) by another aircraft in the tree it’s in?
We keep circling around the simple fact that it would be nice to have, but not needed :/

Then Israel’s helicopters should definitely be compatible with the DIRCM developed by Israel itself, so why hasn’t Gaijin added it?
Looking forward to AGM-154s on the Gripen then 😊
Im still traumatized by YF-23 players throwing sparrows at mach 7 across the map ngl

All this trouble when the simple solution of giving Brimstones MMW guidance would’ve done wonders for Gripen et al CASability.
/s (but not really)
The YF-23 is able to be added under the Unfinished Prototype logic. The weapons bay was made and tested, and provisions were made for the radar to be used had it been chosen. With this in mind, gaijin can add it in a finished state, meaning it can come to the game with these weapons if gaijin’s wills it.
Nostalgic talks more about it in his suggestion:
(It seems someone with a lovely WT pfp beat me to bringing this up, but I’ll comment anyway since I went more in depth)

Look, Gripen was build, YF23 not. Gripen got added with what it got, it can get more if a document says so, or we give the devs a picture with the arnament we want to get added.
But YF23 never built, never went into production, never recived its planned arnament. So you are saying, it shouldnt get its planned arnaments, becouse gajin says no. What the point then of adding the YF23, when it is made to do BVR!!!
So long as there’s plans that show it’s capable of being used then yeah I’d love to see it added.
AFAIK every western country has MMW guided mx (excluding JAGMs for fairness) now, no? I don’t know enough about Russia/China to comment on those but it certainly is sorely missing :/
I think it’s less of everyone having one of those kinds of munitions and more that nothing can be done against them
(We know this isn’t true, but for balance sakes let’s say it is)
Yes thank you, i always understood this, but somebody said to me it wount get it, becouse gajin said so? Thats why I am pissed
Gaijin refuse reports based on planned integrations, only what is currently integrated.
That’s the key point and you’re glossing over it. It’s an unfinished prototype, not a production aircraft. Gaijin has separate rules for suggesting and implanting unfinished aircraft like the YF-23, as it can be added with weapons that were planned but not used. Case in point being the Yak-141 with multiple systems and weapons it never could use.
The YF-23 was dropped bc the cold war ended, it is better than the raptor, at least the YF-22 which is like 50% F-22A, but hey the soviets collapsed what you gonna use stealth jets for
Let’s not give Gaijin more excuses 😵💫
Not even like it’d buff any US aircraft hugely, it’d just leave Israel behind a touch for powered MMW muns
Edit: Does France even have any MMW muns actually?
