The Rivadavia and the Moreno remain, to this day, the largest warships built in the United States for a foreign nation. The young American nation had not only thrown itself into the race of building battleships, but was also willing to to export them. The WWI changed the rules of the game and then there was a lot of regulation, in this department.
i would like to add that as the main german in the game i prefer germany to get western things. But this is just my opinion.
It would only make the thing even slower.IMO T62M 2021 or 2022 should be added. T62M has new sight with thermals for gunner and commander and 780 hp engine (probably best to be placed on T62). Meanwhile T62M 2022 has gunner sight with thermals. It can have addon armour and/or K-1, but it varies too much.
We talked about this in the R+R but i think it belongs in here as well, how about folding aircraft wings as a nice gimmick like open canopys and ejection seats?
Some examples of folding wings from the FAA museum in Yeovil
San Giorgio (1941) as a 5.7-6.0 armored cruiser.
She’d make a well armored vessel (200 mm belt) with decent anti-ship armament (2x2 254 mm + 4x2 190 mm)
I was assuming AIM-7M (entered service in 1982, 8 years after first F-15s) and AIM-9M (1983) to create a more balanced aircraft. The F-15A exceeds the flight performance of the F-14B by a significant margin in pretty much every aspect.
3,000km/h vs 2,200km/h
1.85TWR vs 1.24
342m/s climb vs 224
55lb/ft^2 vs 94 (lower is better)
The F-15A would have by far the best flight performance of any aircraft in the game. There could be an argument for a lower BR with the weapons it had in 1974 when it first entered service, but then it would be an extremely unbalanced aircraft with incredible flight performance and mediocre armament. I’d rather give it a bit better missiles (no AMRAAM, yet) and put it at a higher BR where it can compete with other aircraft of more similar flight performance (Su-27, Typhoon, etc.). At 12.0 what is a MiG-21 supposed to do against an F-15, even one without any missiles at all.
It looks like you are right and only the JH-7A could carry PL-8s. That being said, the standard JH-7 could use PL-5Es which are essentially AIM-9Ls or even PL-5EIIs with IRCCM. With its CCIP and PL-5Es, 11.0 would be fine. JH-7A could come soon after at 11.7 with its more capable armament.
does anyone know if we will get a mig-25 or mig-31 this year still? seems weird to me that we are likely to get an f15 and su-27 before we get the iconic russian interceptors…
