Almost as if I’m not looking solely at vehicle count and I’m looking at missiles, air technologies, and various other assorted air stuff.
We are literally in a similar era of planes and tanks now, and planes have considersbly more of their features modeled.
Hell regenerstive steering, even in it’s current fucked up state, is a core feature of western MBTs that is only being tested now.
And it should have came, and I’m glad it did, but it still is not touching anything close to what air has to offer in terms of modern technologies
I am not looking at “era”, it doesn’t encapsulate what’s actually missing in terms of actual gameplay content.
not quite. 7/10 nations are missing their flagship fighters
idk, we dont have jammers, decoys, podded IRST, ranging IRST, countless smaller features for new and old aircraft and missiles, many air to air and air to ground weapons not ingame.
As of now modern MBTs in game are just fast ww2 tanks with LRF and thermals in WT, modern jets have considerably more differences from ww2 planes/early jets.
air has consistently gotten new planes at the top ranks every single update, last update we got an entirely new class of missile with ARMs with each nation getting their own domestic missiles instead of the easy copy paste gaijin could have done.
Air got an entirely new mode in the last update with nuclear thunder and are now seeing it and gun fight coming back as permanent game modes
lets compare that to ground which the only new feature they have gotten in awhile has been regenerative steering and an update to the SAM interface
And the sad thing is, real life capabilities from in-game modern MBTs are far closer to realistic modern MBTs than the in-game modern jets are to real life jets, it’s not even close and it’s a huge gulf.
No offense, but looking at vehicle additions is such a slop way of looking at things. I’d be fine with no new air content for the next two years if needed be. If you’d like, you can just get more ground subtrees consisting of copy paste vehicles, that should satisfy you hopefully.
Yes, that is very much true, but aircraft are still not even touching anywhere close to the capabilities of real life modern jets compared to MBTs. This is just an attempt at catching up.
Air in this instance is just getting better gameplay loop as ground RB was far more enjoyable gameplay than air rb was. Nuclear Thunder still is not a permanent gameplay mode yet, so it is too soon to say air has received it when it’s still in the testing phases.
Gaijin might get around to it eventually. This world just doesn’t revolve around the implementation of modern jets in WT.
Seeing people complain they are neglected only makes me hope Gaijin waits longer with implementing those features.

Oh come on just say you want to delay the expiration date for eurocanards because the devs showed an unwarranted amount of kindness by not adding their contemporary
Caught me /s
I wouldn’t mind for 5th gen jets to come this year, but they really need to work on adding more air technologies. I have an inkling that there won’t be any expiration date provided they actually add sensor fusion before or alongside 5th gen addition.

All they really had was the meteor but Idz 810, PL-15, AIM-260, AIM-424, and meteor (but in an F-35 🤯) kind of throw a wrench in that
Not so polite smh, atleast I ended my sentence with “I hope that satisfies your requests”.
If you’re going that far then the Rafale atleast doesn’t have “only the Meteor”. And you can’t put the PL-15 in that category when it’s likely going to be modeled as a a glorified bit better PL-12A sidegrade.
Well when you have maps for MBTs this SMALL… -_- Where is Ground ESCALATION!!! 50km x 50km maps with NO CAS! Unlimited Spawns 1 hour match time…Actual objectives, NOT park inside painted circle on the ground!

Imo, the only “air technology” worth waiting (in realistic manner) is ECM/ESM. Its a huge part of modern air doctrines and also would add some flavour to more low rank stuff as well

Great way to make a whole class of vehicles (SPAAs) useless just to satisfy your sniping wet desires
Guys I just want to remind everyone that any issue with anything on the dev server please use the Dev server topics to discuss these issue please and thank you.
On to my next reminder if you want to discuss a tank, a plane, a ship or a boat and munitions already in game please use the right topics for them as well this isn’t the place nor is it the PL12 debate topic and I am sure plenty exist already.

Well, not only those, but more AESA modeling, more IRST modeling, and sensor fusion. Sensor fusion along with datalink is probably the biggest thing missing in terms of modern air doctrines if you want to put it like that.
FM wise I find the J16 quite enjoyable.
The double pl12 pylon is in the files, if it got introduced I wouldn’t mind it.
It’s basically a Su-30sm in many aspects, but worse than it in others.
