Look guys British equipment is just too overpowered to implement fully to the game.

HESH would destroy pre composite RHA soviet armour easily from all angles.
Starstreak would have a 90% hit accuracy which is unacceptable.
Challenger 2 wouldn’t have a gaping hole for a mantlet and its armour packages would actually be made out of chobham instead of air.
Near all western tanks would have regenerative steering meaning chieftains wouldn’t lose near 100% speed in a slight turn.
The Apaches hellfires would actually have a perfect top down trajectory along with starstreak working making them insane not to mention also getting LOAL.
L27A1 would be able to pen Russian heavy ERA which goes against the agenda.
Tornado would have wing mounted Brimstones with LOAL ending the game as we know it.

The game simply wouldn’t be fun for anyone else. That’s why we have to have everything half baked.

Dont forget no radar on our light cruisers, meaning we have to have line of sight to fire at ships and that Britain didnt produce a single battleship after the battle of jutland.

The Wing Vapour will probably come like the ejection seat, it is steadily added and not all at once. I wish for the Phantom too to get a wing vapour.

Maybe Gaijin thinks the British are not allowed to have fun in this game
thanks to 100 years old hatred from ‘The Great Game’. I guess.

We can have none of our captured vehicles in our tech tree…
We even don’t have our Sherman V, Sabre F.4, or APDS on our Firefly! :/
(If Gaijin thinks giving APDS on Firefly will break the British 4.7 deck, then they can add the APDS version of Firefly as foldered one, I think it is a considerable option but no.)

Can’t wait to see what we will see when Gaijin finally gives ASRAAM to the British.

“ASRAAM” would be game breaking for balancing reasons we have reduced its range and its G limits.

Same update adds Aim9X and R-74M with no artifical nerfs…

We might face Su-30SM with R-74 and F-15E (Late) with AIM-9X
with Tornado GR.4 Late with Tornado F.3 Super-Late both armed with nerfed ASRAAM…

ofc ‘Eurofighters will not added at this update because they are game-breaking, and the current meta of Air Realistic is not ready for Eurofighters.’ XD

E and G are identical in every way except guidance. SAL is cheaper.

Did the Tornado’s RWR get changed recently?

It can’t detect the Pantsir’s track radar anymore

5237

It never could.

5238

Doesn’t have the coverage in K-band to detect it. It can only ever detect it’s search radar.

5239

ALARM like Brimstone has multiple modes, they can just add the direct fire mode instead of the ones that can loiter (even if that is one of the biggest features of the missile)

difference is the Gr4 was one of the main planes of the update

5241

now if only that option would already be available for hellfires, pars 3, spikes etc etc
