It will come alongside the Major Update ?
They’re planning to move it down, they’re also adding rank IX… TOTALLY useless. It’s not like having a premium vehicle. Plus talisman costs depend on rank and position in the line, all these planes moved back during the years just made me waste a good amount of GE
Prolly cause f18a is a lower br than the f14a.
I think he means why is the F14s literal successor from 20 years after it was made BEFORE the F14 itself
And considering the F14 is doing horribly and the F18 is doing way too good, cant say hes wrong

I see the F/A-18C late there though which is a higher BR than both the F-14s.
Also very debatable if the 18A should even be lower BR.
Still stupid the Gr1 is under your F111

Have you thought about moving the Sea Harrier before the Hornets? If you’re foldering the Hornets, which is a good idea, there will be no reason to grind the Sea Harrier instead of going for the AF/A-18A.
They should fix the harriers and encourage people to use them, anyway F/A-18F will be placed rank 9 under the FA.2

18A does NOT need a downtier, having AIM-7Ms and 9Ls on an extremely maneuverable platform against phantoms and mig23s is bad enough, it doesnt also need to fight mig21s
That was badly worded on my part. I meant it’s very debatable if the F/A-18A should even be lower in BR compared to the F-14A.

I don’t doubt that the F/A-18F will go at the end of the line, but I think the FA.2 should come before the hornets to A) Give people a reason to use it, because why would you use the FA.2 when you could grind out the AF/A-18A instead and B) Keep some kind of tech tree continuity
Well, the reason to grind the FA.2 should be because its a competent airframe with its own playstyle and use in a match. Right now you have no reason to play it even if it was free, its useless compared to 13.0 and even some of the 12.7s. Its literally a 9.7 airframe with missiles from a 13.0.
Gaijin needs to fix (off the top of my head)
- Harrier Gen 1 flight model inaccuracies (it should be incredibly manoeuvrable, at all speed ranges)
- harrier heat signature is wrong. The game models the IR signatures as thrust output, the harriers are cold irl and could even decoy missiles by pointing the thrust vector down.
- Harrier VIFF
- Harrier No black plume of smoke out the back when in level flight (seriously, ingame it makes the B52 look like an eco friendly smart car)
- Bol is also modelled wrong, and this really hinders the harrier since it has BOL as its main CM source
Im sure there is more, but the 13.0 FA.2 is literally one of the WORST vehicles at its BR… but dont worry the F15A gets to club 11.7s now

Why are you foldering the Baz with the Kurnass 2000??? Shouldn’t the Baz be foldered with the Baz Meshupar?
You’re doing something similar to Japan’s F-15s and their F-4EJ Kai here:
What’s with the disparity?

We don’t need 5th gen aircraft at all.
For gods sake gaijin hasn’t managed to get 4.5 gen working properly yet and they want to add 5th gen?

It was confirmed last year. 5th Gen we’re supposed to see in like Q3 or Q4 of 2026.
Now that the IL-28 is on 7.3 in GRB, shouldn´t the Ar-234 C3 be at 7.0?
Great, I talismaned Tonka GR.1 for preparing potential Rank 9, then Gaijin decided to nerf it as Rank 7.
I can’t wait to see new Rank 8 premium jets for us. :|
@Morvran
What do you think about why Gaijin keeps Exported verison of F-84F in Rank 6 if they can send Tonka down to Rank 7?

and they somehow manage to butcher rank VIII-IX by making bonkers decision
A recent stream from the guy who does the dev streams I forgot his name confirmed 5th gen is not coming 2026.
IIRC they said not Early 2026 so I assume late 2026 as there’s still stuff they wanna add before 5th gen.
