I don’t care what you are, be it a donut or whatever else. Yes, I know you weren’t complaining about the F-14 being top dawg. That’s the point.
The Hawker Hunter was ahead of anything else, as was the T-2, and the J-7E… I don’t know what you’re trying to get at here.
What biases do I have currently? I’m a very patriotic American who has every nation in the game besides Britain.
I dont think it was bias. But i do think all tornados were postponed quite a bit so that they could get the F-14 completely finished and game ready to coincide with the release of Top Gun 2. This is why we got the IDS with f16 and mig 29 and why the F14 was surprisingly early
The F-14 was far from “completely finished” when it was added. If anything it was considered to be in quite a rushed state when it was added.
I think maybe the radar and Phoenix were rushed, but the aircraft FM was most accurate on dev server before it was nerfed. People didn’t think the high-alpha was accurate… Turns out it was lol
Either way, i think to get the F-14 added when they did, caused every aircraft added since to be added out of order. And that had the consequence of aircraft like the Tornado F3 being added surprisingly late
Finished enough to be added to the game then
I don’t think that it messed with an order of things or a pre-planned addition routine that Gaijin wanted to do. I think the F-14 was prepared to be released without the Phoenix around the same time as MLD but the movie was delayed several times, Gaijin then delayed the addition as well.
Maybe. Though i dont think we should have had the Tornado Gr1 along side the Mig29 or F16. I think it should have been the Tornado F3 with stage 2 radar, but it was very delayed
So was a large number of things if you view it that way, but wishing it came when it would have been better than most things is also kind of silly. It’s here, enjoy it. Everyone knew how badly it was going to perform from the start but it’s overly glorified as usual. Same issue as Mirage F1.
Either way… i hope we get aim 9m and amraam on the f3 sooner rather than later or atleast shar fa2 with both
Soon™
Fingers crossed
Anyway, whats going on with this F3?
Outboard wing pylons and what is it carrying underneath?
Or is it some kind of Frankenstein doctored image?
Tornado F3 CSP with ASRAAM & AIM-120B AMRAAM and Sea Harrier FA2 ?
Alarm, that’s an EF.3
Modified F.3 (also called EF.3), carrying 2 ALARM underneath. Phimat pod on the right wing(I think), Sky Shadow ECM on the left wing.
The ECM pod is the “TRD” not the Sky Shadow.
In this case it’s probably a Boz drill/training pod to simulate the wing load of the Ariel towed radar decoy rather than the genuine article, since the rear end is faired over and all the missiles have blue inert/dummy bands on them.
Thx for correcting me guys :)
I wonder if Gaijin will ever implement towed decoys…
