Howdy Y’all
With the Dev Server dropping today, it was shown and announced on the display stream that the Israeli TT was only receiving a single vehicle this update. On top of that, it’s a (mostly) copy paste of an existing aircraft in the tree, dubbed the F-16A Block 10 Netz “Squadron 115”, modeled as Serial No.124 in IAF service. On top of this, it costs 80USD, meaning the only vehicle for Israel this update is locked behind a paywall.
So, I’ve come to make a proposition, or a petition if you will, to have the devs include a TT variant of this Netz for the Israeli air tree that has the same capabilities of the premium one, along with some other proposed changes to help further develop the Israeli air Tech Tree and expand its capabilities and size.
@Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT , I apologize for any inconvenience this ping may bring, but I feel that bringing this to your immediate attention is the best way to obtain a solution to this issue, the issue in question being:
The only vehicle the entirely of the Israeli TT is receiving this update is a 80$ premium aircraft. Please forward this thread to the developers if you can/must, or anything that could help us to receive a equivalent TT variation of this aircraft. It would mean the world to me.
In Lamen’s terms, I’m asking for the JA37Di situation to be applied here.
Proposed Idea #1: Remove the Python 3 from the current Tech Tree F-16A Block 10 Netz (it never used it) and place it at 12.3 BR akin to the US F-16A Block 10.
Details and Reasoning
This variant of the Netz represents it in an earlier configuration, in which upon further research, it never used the Python 3 which it has ingame. Only later variants tested this missile, and these variants can be seen in the configuration as represented by the newly added premium Netz based on the ~1987 configuration. Simply put, the Netz could (and should) have the Python 3 removed from it and drop down to 12.3 BR. Additionally, this Netz will need to be renamed for the purpose of being more easily identifiable and understandable.
- Yes (Remove Python 3 and drop down to 12.3 BR)
- No (Nothing changes, it stays as a worse Netz variant at 12.7)
- Not opposed to either option
Proposed Idea #2: Convert the “New” F-16A Netz (1987) into the infamous F-16A-10 Netz №107!
Details and Reasoning
Netz №107 is an F-16A Block 10 credited with scoring 6.5 Air to Air kills over the corse of its service, this is THE most kills any F-16 has ever been attributed to ever, and such a feat warrants it a spot in the game in my opinion. Heck it even has its own wiki page lol.
Netz №107 originally featured the smaller Block 10 Elevators and 2 Countermeasure dispensers under the tail like many other Netz aircraft, but later on it was modified and received the Block 15 Elevators and 120 additional Countermeasures mounted on the fuselage (identical to the new F-16A Block 10 on the dev server, meaning this aircraft could be added through a simple reskin)
As such, I believe this late version of the aircraft (Such as Netz №107 “1987”) would make for the best addition as a premium for this tree.
(Please keep in mind, this Netz and all other 1987 variations of the Netz would receive the Python 3 ingame, unlike the current TT Netz based on its 1981 configuration which shouldn’t have such a AAM.)
- Yes (It will replace the Netz “Squadron 115” and be added as the new premium instead)
- No (We only need one new Netz, and the TT doesn’t need another)
- Maybe as a skin? But otherwise No
Proposed Idea #3: Place the newly modeled Netz Premium in the TT foldered behind the current Netz, to be replaced by Netz №107
Essentially, this is what the TT could look like with
my suggestions, and if they were all implemented:
Now the big question,
Should we have a JA37Di solution?
- Yes.
- No.
Thank you all for your time, it means the world to me. And to any developers listening, thank you so very much for your consideration! I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed day! Would love to hear all of your opinions!
A special thanks to all who helped me to better understand the history of the Netz in IAF service.)
